An Outdoor Wedding Venue in Central Florida with Garden & Lake Views
There’s a moment when you step onto the grounds at Lakeview Gardens and something just clicks.
The quiet. The light. The way the trees seem to lean in just right. It’s peaceful—but not plain. Romantic—but not overdone. It feels like Florida, but a version you didn’t know still existed.
Set on a hilltop in Umatilla, just outside Orlando, Lakeview Gardens is an outdoor garden and lake view wedding venue designed to feel both intimate and inspiring. Every space has been thoughtfully designed to help you slow down, savor the moment, and celebrate your love—your way.
Tucked under a canopy of oak trees, the Garden Gazebo is a quiet, romantic spot surrounded by flowers, natural shade, and a charming stone walkway. Whether you choose it for your ceremony or not, it’s one of the most popular spots on the property for portraits—especially with the garden swing nearby. It’s the kind of space that feels both timeless and personal.
Garden Gazebo
Sunset Veranda
This is the spot everyone falls in love with. The Sunset Veranda overlooks East Lake and is surrounded by towering oak trees, creating a dreamy backdrop for your ceremony or reception. You’ll walk through the garden along a stone path to beautiful wooden doors that open into your ceremony space—it’s breathtaking, especially at golden hour.
The Terrace
With warm brick flooring, soft candlelight, and fountains dancing in the nearby pool, the Terrace feels like a romantic garden tucked away in the Italian countryside. It’s where receptions come to life—open-air, intimate, and full of charm. Whether you're dining under the stars or sharing your first dance surrounded by twinkle lights, the atmosphere is effortless and unforgettable.
The Ballroom
Our indoor space offers a romantic vibe with glowing chandeliers and warm touches that feel just right for an intimate rehearsal dinner, a charming indoor lounge you’ll love. It’s simple, inviting, and effortlessly elegant—just like the rest of the venue.
Garden View Suite
This is your space to relax, laugh, and soak in the moment with your favorite people before you walk down the aisle. Large open windows wrap around the room for the best views of the gardens, while the dressing area, private restrooms, and comfy lounge give you everything you need. Plus, there’s a mimosa bar—because you deserve it.
The Lounge
Set apart from the main estate, this lounge is made for chilling out and getting ready in your own way. Big-screen TV, pool table, private bathroom—it’s got everything you need to unwind, get dressed, and have a few laughs before the ceremony. It’s casual, cool, and just the right amount of quiet.
