Bauhaus is a craft cocktail bar occupying the lower level of the historic Hanson Building in downtown Orlando, one of the oldest structures in the city. Named in tribute to the Bauhaus design movement, which merged artistry with industrial aesthetics in the early twentieth century, the bar has preserved the original architecture and character of the building rather than renovating around it. The narrow, intimate space draws on the design principles it is named for — low lighting, original materials, and a focus on craft — with cocktails made from fresh ingredients prepared in-house. The venue connects to Hanson's Shoe Repair, a password-entry speakeasy on the upper floor of the same building, making the combined property a distinctive destination in downtown Orlando for private events and evening gatherings. The events team can be reached directly to discuss bookings.

Its historic brick walls and antique surroundings make it a distinctive setting for cocktail parties, small celebrations, and private gatherings.

Black Diamond Ranch Golf & Country Club is a private club and event venue set on 1,320 acres of rolling hills and moss-draped oaks in Lecanto, Florida. Founded in 1987 by Stan Olsen, the property takes its name from a premium grapefruit variety cultivated here in the mid-1940s. The Ranch Course, designed by Tom Fazio, opened alongside the community's gates — and the Quarry Course followed, carved through the cliffs and lakes of two retired limestone quarries to become one of the most distinctive layouts in the Southeast. The Clubhouse spans 28,000 square feet and carries the elegance of a Scottish club with the warmth of a New England inn. Its signature dining room rises to a 40-foot widow's watch skylight, framed by dark wood, exposed stone columns, and rich textiles — a setting that suits formal dinners, wedding receptions, and social gatherings alike. Outdoor ceremonies and receptions take full advantage of the quarry views and the property's mature oak canopy. An executive chef leads the culinary team, with everything prepared from scratch using fresh ingredients. The full-service events team supports weddings, private parties, corporate off-sites, charity events, and golf tournaments.

Located in De Leon Springs, Florida, and operated by the Volusia-Flagler Family YMCA, the camp offers a natural lakeside setting for retreats, reunions, seminars, and private events throughout the year. The main event anchor is a fully air-conditioned dining hall that seats up to 200 guests — a central gathering space well suited to large group meals, receptions, and indoor programming. An open-air screen pavilion provides an indoor-outdoor alternative, and an outdoor chapel and amphitheater serve ceremonies and assemblies under the tree canopy. For evening gatherings, a large campfire circle with rustic bench seating brings groups together around an open fire. Beyond the event spaces themselves, Camp Winona can host up to 240 guests with on-site cabin accommodations, dining, and full activity programming — making it a natural choice for organizations seeking a full-buyout retreat experience that extends well beyond a single event.
