Colonial Country Club is a private club and event venue set within a gated, master-planned community in Fort Myers, Florida, overlooking an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Gordon Lewis and framed by a network of lakes. Following a $6.5 million clubhouse renovation completed in 2020, the venue expanded its indoor and outdoor event spaces, added a new bar, and enlarged the kitchen — all now managed by Troon Privé. Though Colonial is a private membership club, its event facilities are open to non-members for weddings and private celebrations. The modern Ballroom accommodates up to 200 guests with panoramic views of the fairways and lakes, while an open-air screened patio and a west-facing back portico — overlooking a pond and the 18th green at sunset — provide ceremony settings suited to a range of preferences. An in-house events team and Executive Chef Albert Wallace handle coordination and custom menu planning from the initial tasting through the day of the event.

The Southwest Florida Performing Arts Center is a live-entertainment and private-event venue in Bonita Springs, Florida. The 27,000-square-foot facility was purpose-built to serve as both a public performing-arts destination and a flexible private-event space, combining a world-class theater, a state-of-the-art culinary test kitchen, and a modern restaurant and event area under one roof. The main theater seats 650 guests and has hosted a diverse lineup of musical performances and live shows from international, national, and locally recognized artists across genres. For private events, the center accommodates galas, wedding receptions, corporate gatherings, and charity events — offering clients a setting that, as the venue describes it, is "neither too big to be intimate nor too small for extravagant productions."
