Lakeview Gardens

Lakeview Gardens is an outdoor wedding venue in Umatilla, Florida, about 20 minutes from Mount Dora and within easy reach of Orlando and Ocala. Surrounded by mature oak trees, gardens, open countryside, and lake views, the property offers two distinct places to say “I do.” Sunset Grove offers a lake-view ceremony for up to 150 guests, while the Garden Gazebo is set within the gardens for intimate ceremonies of up to 70. After the ceremony, guests can gather around the pool for cocktail hour before moving to the terrace for dinner and dancing under the market lights. Later in the evening, guests can even jump into the pool. Lakeview’s recommended all-inclusive experience brings together the venue and primary services needed for a smooth wedding day, including day-of coordination. Couples also have two personalized design sessions with the team and the flexibility to use Lakeview’s preferred vendors, bring their own, or combine the two. Private getting-ready spaces include an upstairs suite overlooking the lake and gardens and a separate suite with a kitchen, TVs, and pool table. For couples who want more than a single wedding day, the Garden Cottage, about two minutes from the venue, is available exclusively to Lakeview couples and their guests. Lakeview Gardens also hosts showers, rehearsal dinners, engagement celebrations, birthdays, corporate gatherings, and other private events.
