Venues & Event Spaces in Winter Park, FL

“We’re so glad we chose Azalea Lodge for our wedding! The venue is gorgeous and spacious. Mead Botanical Garden is absolutely breathtaking and felt so intimate and romantic on our wedding day.

The Dubsdread team made everything incredibly easy by bundling the venue, catering, bar, and staff at a very reasonable price - removing so much stress from planning. From the moment we arrived, we felt taken care of. The private bridal suite was spacious and comfortable, and having a personal butler was such a special touch. Everything ran smoothly, and we were able to truly enjoy every moment. Our day felt organized, stress-free, and so much fun.

A huge thank you to our coordinator, David, our personal butler, Jose, and the entire Dubsdread team for making our wedding day absolutely perfect!”

“What a beautiful venue. We were worried about the weather but they had a contingency plan all worked out. Fortunately we didn't need it as it all cleared. So many comments from our guests about the hidden gem for an event. We had 100+ people and plenty of space. We will be using them again!!”

“Very old school classy building that I went to view an JamArt’s club paintings.
It was fun,roomie,and comfortable,in beautiful Winter Park Neighborhood. I’m glad I went. I will be looking forward to seeing it next time.”

“We went here for a graduation. There were zero signs directing us where to go. If we had not arrived so early, we would have missed everything because we did not know exactly where we were going. If you guys actually do have these graduations ceremonies every month, you really have to do better”

“My husband and I had our wedding at the Capen House on April 13, and all I can say is WOW this is an absolutely perfect venue!! From the moment we had our first tour, we fell in love with this venue and knew it would be the perfect place for our intimate wedding. We received so many compliments from our family and friends about how stunning the grounds were and just how beautiful the overall space was. In addition to the beauty of this venue, they have an unbelievable team working behind the scenes to make sure every event runs seamlessly. Hannah and Katlyn were super responsive to my dozens of emails and were such a pleasure to work with!! I cannot say enough good things about this place and would highly recommend it!”

“I have worked with Garden Villa and the Cocktails Catering team many times, and every experience has been wonderful. Lucy, who manages the venue and oversees the catering staff on site, is truly amazing to work with. She is attentive, organized, and makes sure everything runs smoothly from start to finish. The venue itself is beautiful and versatile, and the team always goes above and beyond to make each event special. I actually used Cocktails Catering for my own wedding five years ago, so I have had the pleasure of working with them both as a client and as a planner. I highly recommend Garden Villa for anyone looking for a wonderful venue paired with a dedicated and professional team.”

“We toured the Winter Park Events Center while searching for Quinceañera venues for my daughter, and it's truly one of the most beautiful event spaces in Central Florida. The venue is thoughtfully designed with two main levels. The downstairs ballroom serves as the primary event space with a full kitchen and dressing room, while upstairs features a large rooftop terrace, another dressing room, and a half kitchen that works well for cocktail hours or smaller gatherings. The entrance also showcases local art installations, which adds a nice cultural touch. One thing that really stood out during our tour is the value for the size of the venue. For the number of guests the space can accommodate, it's honestly difficult to beat the pricing compared to many other venues in the area. The only reason we ultimately didn't choose this venue came down to production limitations. They do not allow cold sparkler machines, "dancing on a cloud" effects, or direct mounting from the ceilings, which restricted some of the celebratory elements we were planning. They are also strict about approved caterers and vendors, which is understandable since previous events have caused permanent damage to the facility. Because our daughter's padrinos wanted to contribute to some of the more elaborate production elements, we had to explore other options. That said, if your event doesn't require those features, the Winter Park Events Center is an incredible venue with a modern design, great layout, and strong value. For weddings, galas, or milestone celebrations that fit within their guidelines, it's absolutely worth touring.”

“The venue itself was very nice for a small group of ppl, loved the chairs and special tables they had provided. Everything was white which made the venue look elegant with less decor. I worked with Carmen, and the bartender were great and very helpful. Everyone at the party loved the place . The only thing that needs to be updated is the prep area for food and or other things( very small space). Overall ,the entire event went smoothly and everyone had a great time.Thank you for everything!!!☺️”

“We're the Grahams from Dacula, GA! When we contacted Chris (owner), he was open, accommodating and honest about Penthouse 450 and put everything on hold until our arrival 11/22/22 to make our decision of whether to use Penthouse for our Family Thanksgiving gathering on 11/24/22! Penthouse 450's interior design is first-class; clean and well maintained; and the ambiance, setting and atmosphere is outstanding; in fact, so phenomenal that other family members will be contacting Chris, in the future, to host other events! His Staff was incredibly professional and clearly took pride in their work and were very personable! Most importantly, they were very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to welcome us, and to make sure we felt comfortable! We HIGHLY recommend using Penthouse 450 for any major or minor event; we certainly will, without any doubt whatsoever! To Chris and the Staff at Penthouse 450, THANK YOU!”
