$2000-$8250

What is included in that cost?

When you reserve Casani Estates, you’re getting more than just a beautiful setting—you’re securing exclusive use of the entire property for the duration of your rental. This includes access to stunning ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception spaces, all within easy walking distance. Tables and chairs for up to 100 guests are provided and set for you at each site, with ceremony seating, cocktail tables, and reception dining arrangements thoughtfully prepared in advance. You’ll have your choice of ceremony location, from lakeside views to lush garden spaces, along with two distinct, air-conditioned get-ready suites for each wedding party. The Pavilion and Lodge reception space features a fireplace, bar area, dimmer-switched lighting, ceiling fans, and available furnishings, while market lighting adds warmth and charm as the sun sets. Three full bathrooms with air conditioning ensure guest comfort, and a parking attendant is on hand to welcome guests, with a convenient drop-off area for those who prefer not to walk long distances. Your booking also includes a 30-minute rehearsal scheduled prior to your event and access to the property for an engagement or anniversary photo session. Nature-inspired décor pieces such as wine barrels, lanterns, and easels are available to complement your vision, and an on-site venue manager is present throughout your event to oversee the property, allowing you to focus on enjoying your celebration.

Does the venue provide catering and bar service? If so, what is the average cost per person?

We are a ‘select your own vendor’ venue. This means we provide you with a list of pre-approved high-quality vendors for you to choose from. If you would prefer an all-inclusive package, we can arrange this for you as well.

Is there a minimum for booking?

A retainer fee equal to 50% of venue rental cost must be paid in order to reserve a date.

Do you require wedding insurance?

Yes! All events held at Casani Estates require third-party event insurance.

Why do couples choose this location?

Couples consistently say that choosing Casani Estates was the best decision they made for their wedding. As one couple shared, from the moment of booking to the wedding day, they “were always confident that we had picked the best place to hold our wedding / reception,” applauding the “personalized and courteous attention given to us, a refreshing change” and feeling “like we were family.” They added, “You will not be disappointed with the care and…views of this place truly magical!” Another bride described how the photos simply don’t do the venue justice, calling it “a piece of heaven tucked away.” She’d envisioned a “backyard-style wedding with a twist of farm,” and Casani Estates checked “every box and more.” She also gushed, “Carmen, the owner, is phenomenal to work with… reminded me to breathe,” pointing out that her wedding was “everything I wanted it to be and more.” One couple even went as far as to say, “Looking for the PERFECT wedding venue? Look no further!!!” They described the experience as “the best experience ever!!” and called the venue “BREATHTAKING.” They also added that “every inch of the property is perfect for photos” and highly recommended using a drone to capture the scenery. On WeddingWire, one reviewer described the setting as “peaceful, tranquil, simply STUNNING,” noting that “you hardly need much to decorate it,” thanks to the natural landscape, sky, sunset, and reflection on the water. They praised Carmen’s flexibility and game-changing vendor recommendations—and even noted that she married them herself, making the day feel “tender and magical.” Another shared how “the process of having my wedding at Casani Estates was… easy and wonderful,” calling Carmen “incredible,” “patient, accommodating, flexible, and so so kind.” They appreciated being able to use the property for their engagement photos and visits during planning. On the wedding day, when a sudden storm altered their plans, the venue’s versatility shone through—the large Pavilion accommodated all the changes seamlessly. They concluded that “Casani Estates and Carmen will forever hold a special place in our hearts.” On The Knot, a bride simply said, “Casani is such a beautiful venue, and working with Carmen during our wedding planning was a great experience. She was so kind and helpful to us… It truly had everything we needed, and we had the perfect day here.” Another described it as “Literally my favorite place on Earth!” They emphasized how many visits and conversations they had with the “fabulous Carmen,” and how it contributed to a perfect wedding.

What are the top three venue features?

At Casani Estates, every celebration begins with a setting that feels like it was made just for you—lakeside views that sparkle at golden hour, lush gardens that sway in the breeze, and open skies that paint the perfect backdrop for your vows, your first kiss, and your happiest memories. From the moment you first tour the property to the final send-off, you’ll be surrounded by a level of care that feels personal and genuine. Couples often say they felt like family here, thanks to the warm, attentive guidance that makes every step of planning feel easier, calmer, and filled with joy. With two private get-ready suites, a stunning Pavilion and Lodge, and multiple ceremony sites just steps apart, your day can unfold seamlessly in one place. Whether the sun is shining or the weather brings a surprise, every space is ready to welcome you and your guests in comfort and style.

What does a typical wedding day look like?

At Casani Estates, your wedding day flows seamlessly from peaceful morning preparations in two private get-ready suites to a breathtaking ceremony by the lake, in the gardens, or beneath the Pavilion. Guests mingle nearby during cocktail hour while you capture stunning portraits across the property. Dinner and dancing unfold under glowing market lights in the Pavilion and Lodge, with late-night snacks and fireside moments adding to the magic. From first look to last dance, every detail is cared for so you can savor every moment.

What other types of events does the venue host?

While events include exclusive access to the property, Casani Estates is the perfect backdrop for life’s most memorable moments. From engagement parties and bridal showers to anniversaries, milestone birthdays, and intimate corporate events, every celebration feels magical here. With lakeside views, lush gardens, and cozy indoor spaces, your guests can relax, mingle, and make memories that last a lifetime.

What gets you most excited about wedding day?

Seeing all the pieces we’ve been planning come together and witnessing the joy and love that fills the property. It’s incredibly rewarding to watch families and friends connect, see all the details we’ve coordinated shine, and know that for one unforgettable day, everyone can simply be present and celebrate. Every wedding at Casani Estates is different, and I love experiencing that unique magic with each couple.

Best piece of advice for couples planning a wedding.

The best piece of advice I give couples is to focus on what truly matters to them and their guests, and not get lost in trying to make every single detail perfect. Your wedding day is about celebrating your love and sharing joy with the people who matter most. Prioritize experiences and moments that will be meaningful to you, whether that’s a heartfelt ceremony, time with family, or a fun dance floor, and let the details support that vision. Trust your vendors, lean on your support system, and remember to pause and soak it all in—it goes by faster than you think.

I absolutely cannot put into words how happy we are to have had our dream wedding at our dream venue. From the moment you drive in, the venue will leave you speechless—with stunning lake views from all directions and tall pine trees lining the way. Casani Estates was the perfect backdrop for our intimate fall wedding, with an outdoor ceremony overlooking the lake and a beautiful indoor reception space. I loved working with their trusted vendors, who were able to work within our budget and helped make our day even more special. The food was delicious, the music was perfect, and the photos were absolutely stunning! Working with Carmen and Elizabeth was an absolute pleasure. I’ve never felt so well taken care of. They seemed to know what I wanted or needed even before I did. Carmen answered every call, responded to every question, and made the whole planning process feel effortless. Our reception space was decorated beautifully. The venue itself is breathtaking, but when it was transformed with the decorations, it was truly overwhelming—seeing everything come to life brought tears to my eyes. Our loved ones couldn’t stop complimenting the venue, and everyone raved about how friendly and accommodating the staff was. Casani Estates will always hold a special place in my heart! We’ll never forget the incredible memories we created at this magical venue!

Planning one wedding is hard enough—planning three in 17 months? A nightmare. After our second venue burned down just four months before our wedding, we had to start from scratch again. New state, new vendors, new everything. But somehow, we pulled it off, thanks to an incredible team who exceeded every expectation.

Casani Estates was the heart of it all. When Matt and I realized we had to get married in Florida, we were devastated—it was the one place we didn’t want to get married. But after our venue burned down, we visited four new places, and just like when I found my wedding dress, the moment I saw Casani, I knew, I could get married here.

After signing the contract, I returned two months later, looked at Miss Elizabeth, and asked for another tour because I didn’t remember anything! But from that point on, Miss Carmen and Miss Elizabeth took our vision and turned it into the most perfect day. The second you drive through Casani’s gates, you no longer feel like you’re in Florida. It feels like stepping into your own fairytale world.

They answered every question and handled every issue that came up. Booking a venue with an all-inclusive package felt scary, but Miss Carmen and Miss Elizabeth were the perfect team to take control. I’ll never forget Miss Carmen telling me, Don’t look at the timeline—wedding planning timelines don’t apply to you. She somehow pulled off a wedding that should have taken 12 months to plan in less than 12 weeks.

Casani Estates wasn’t just a venue—it was the foundation of our dream wedding. We could never thank them enough.

We got married here on March 3rd, 2025, and let us just say: that it was perfection from beginning to end. We are still floating from the experience—it was that unforgettable.

From the moment we arrived, every detail was executed with flawless precision. The coordinator was a total rockstar—calm, organized, and two steps ahead of everything. The photographer? Captured every emotion, every laugh, every tear, every tiny, beautiful moment like magic. The food was next-level delicious (people are still talking about it), and the DJ kept the vibe electric all night long.

The entire staff was in perfect sync—the grounds crew had the property looking like a dream, and even the cleaning team worked behind the scenes so discreetly that it felt like everything stayed spotless. It was one of the most seamless, well-orchestrated events we have ever witnessed. Seriously—every single person brought their A-game.

And then there is the setting… wow. The sunset views were jaw-dropping—like something straight out of a movie. The atmosphere was so peaceful and serene, it honestly felt like we were in heaven. The cabins were cozy, welcoming, and perfect for our guests. And the Bridal Suite? Stunning. Romantic. A sanctuary.

To Carmen and Mike—you two are absolute legends. You and your team created a day that went beyond what we imagined. We were so blown away, that we joked about wanting to get married again the next week just to relive it all.

If you are reading this and trying to decide where to get married—stop looking. This is it. No question.

With love and endless gratitude,
—Mike & Kahleel Howell

We had our wedding at Casani Estate and it was absolutely perfect! The venue is stunning with beautiful landscapes and elegant facilities. The decor was gorgeous, and the staff were incredibly professional and helpful throughout the entire process. Carmen was absolutely phenomenal in helping us plan and was a great officiant as well. Everything ran smoothly and felt magical. Highly recommend Casani Estate for anyone looking for a dream wedding venue!

I don’t even know where to begin because saying they did an amazing job doesn’t come close to capturing how truly incredible this venue and team are. Elizabeth was our venue assistant, and she did so much for us. Our wedding day was the absolute best day of my life, and so much of that is because of this stunning place and the people behind it. From the moment we found them, I knew we had found something special, and they exceeded every single one of our expectations. The venue itself is perfect, beautiful, thoughtfully designed, and just radiating with that magical energy you hope for on your big day. But what really made the experience unforgettable was the organization, the constant support, the care, and the communication from the team. Every question answered, every detail handled, they made everything feel effortless for us. If I ever renew my vows, I already know it will be here. I’ll be telling everyone I know about this place because they truly go above and beyond in every way. Thank you for making my wedding day more perfect than I could have ever imagined. I’m beyond grateful we found you. Also, I want to say that Carmen and Mike (the venue owners) are literally the type of family people you want to work with. Mike was there the day we toured the place, and he was working on the parking space, which made us think of how well they actually take care of the place. We met Carmen the second time we toured the place with our families, and she gave us that same feeling. Carmen and Mike were both there the day of the wedding, which made us feel more comfortable with the coordination. We hired an outside company to coordinate the wedding, which met our expectations during the meetings leading up to the wedding. However, on the day of the wedding, we received something totally different and disappointing, which was also noticed by Elizabeth and Carmen. They did not have to step it up to do anything since we hired another company, but they did. They both helped us in every way that day, which makes us think about them every time we think about the wedding. They both did an amazing job, and my husband and I are extremely thankful for all the help and for their care for us. If I could give them a thousand stars, I would because they deserve it for being such an amazing team. We love you all and thank you again for providing us not just with a breathtaking venue, but also with all the kindness and gave us on the most important day of our lives.
