Our wedding at Celebration Gardens was truly unforgettable. From the very beginning, Brian’s responsiveness and willingness to accommodate every detail went above and beyond anything we expected. In the final weeks leading up to the ceremony, Giselle stepped in with such grace and organization, making the process feel seamless.
On the day of, the attendants did a wonderful job supporting us and our guests. Everyone was amazed by how stunning the venue was snd many couldn’t believe this hidden oasis sits right in the heart of Winter Park. We’re so grateful for the entire team who helped make our day so special.

Had our Anniversary Party at this venue. The weather was terrible but to be honest, it did not have any negative impact on our party. The pavilion they have is BIG and it has a wall that comes down to stop rain from getting in. They did have to move the bar from its normal spot to under the pavilion, but that just made it a shorter walk to get a drink! The buffet spread was also setup under the pavilion. We still danced the night away under the pavilion because they have an entire speaker system under the pavilion as well. To cap it off, it was not just rainy but cold and they brought out these big tower heaters and that made it so comfortable and cozy that we never paid attention to how bad the weather was. For a mostly outdoor venue this place is where you should go for the peace of mind should mother nature not cooperate and that is all I can say. The food through John Michael Catering is incredible too! Thank you for making our evening incredible! M&M

Thanks for the great review Melissa! So glad that your event was able to benefit from one of our \”Wow\” features that is part of the Grand Pavilion. Being a predominantly outdoor venue, we realized the importance of creating a large space that is weather protected, so our clients and their guests don\’t stress about unpredictable mother nature. So happy that you had an amazing event and please keep in touch!

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all of you for making Amber & Nick\’s wedding such a beautiful and memorable day.
Brian Fine what can I say? You have the patience of a saint. You patiently handled all of our changes without ever flinching an eye. You always responded quickly and answered our (or should I say my) numerous questions. You were always helpful and never made us feel like we were bothering you. Thank you for that. Everything you did was very much appreciated,
Michael, your help in creating a beautiful wedding by organizing both the fabulous menu (which, by the way, was the best food I ever tasted at a wedding) and the whole atmosphere which Amber and Nick wanted was perfect. Your work made it a night to remember. Thank you so much.
And now for our vendors —
Minister Peg, your plate was full by your being both the officiant and the additional coordinator along with Christian. Your help from the minute we arrived until the very end made everything flow so easily. You took all the pressure off of us and handled everything with a smile. And your ceremony was absolutely perfect. I don\’t know what we would have done with you. Thank you!
Christian, although I don\’t have your direct email, I am hoping that this email somehow gets back to you so that you will know how much we appreciated all of your help. You were always there with a smile on your face and willing to help us. We thank you for making our day run so smoothly. Thank you!
JR Sterling — you are the best! Your sense of humor and great personality put us all at ease during a really nervous time. You made us all so comfortable and we can\’t wait to see the results of your hard work!! Thank you.
Brian @ Sugar Pop Productions– great videographer! You and JR and his assistant were the perfect trio. You all worked so well together and coordinated everything with such ease. You were not a videographer that was always in our face. You worked hard capturing the special moments of the day without putting any pressure on any of us. Thank you!
Debra Robertson @ Atmospheres — the flowers were beautiful The color scheme matched the fall theme perfectly. The boutonnierres for the guys were great. Your ideas along with Amber\’s choices for the bouquets and centerpieces and all coordinating arrangements were gorgeous. It all came together beautifully. We thank you for your hard work,
And last but not least — DJ Larry @ Power Entertainment — what can we say? You made the reception so much fun. Your interaction with our guests, your awesome personality and willingness to play whatever music was requested was so much appreciated. Seeing you out there with our guests was such a plus. You played everything that was requested. Amber & Nick, along with the rest of the family and guests, were extremely happy with your performance. Thank you!
To the servers, bartender and all the very helpful staff — thank you all for your hardwork. We appreciated all that you did and for treating all our guests with smiles and your willingness to keep them happy.
There is not one negative thing we can say about Celebration Gardens, your vendors or your staff. All of you are the absolute best!! We will never forget all your hard work in making Amber and Nick\’s wedding day the most special day in their lives. There are not enough words to say how grateful we are.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

Who knew that this place existed in Winter Park? Lived in the area for 10 years and had drive by before but never knew what was behind the gate, until now! We played mini golf and corn hole and danced to the great music by the DJ. Shout out to Larry! They have an adorable 4 room house that comes with the property too and is a great place to keep you personal things during the event. We even made Smores at the firepit they have. Later on in the evening it rained just a little and I couldnt believe when the guy came out and told us all not to worry and remotely closed the side off with an electric screen. The rain stopped 5 minutes later and in 30 seconds the screen was up again. I hope I get invited to another event there and if I ever need a venue, I know where ill be going! Celebration Gardens, you are amazing! Thank you!

What an incredible experience from start to finish. From the first contact 6 months ago right through the wedding date, Celebration Gardens was responsive to every inquiry, every email, every phone call and made sure that we were satisfied! The property is Disney-Like in its appearance and upkeep with some of the most incredible landscaping I have seen for any venue. The staff is attentive and friendly, and our guests are still talking about the level of service they received throughout their event. Not to mention the food, which was by far the best wedding food we have ever had. John Michael Events is their onsite caterer. We went to two tastings, were blown away by both and the food was just as good at our wedding. My wife and I are already talking about planning our company holiday party at the venue or her nieces Quinceanera. Finally, just a big thank you from both of us to everyone at Celebration Gardens. You made our day extra special and we cant thank you enough.
