$5,000 to $9,000 / Wedding
Welcome to our enchanting waterfront wedding estate, set on a private 2.5-acre oasis in the heart of a charming coastal town. Overlooking Lemon Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, this serene and romantic property provides a breathtaking backdrop for weddings and vow renewals of all sizes. Exchange vows on our 15-foot stone circular ceremony platform, connected by an aisle from the spacious lanai and framed by elegant faux florals. Guests are seated along a winding pathway, while gentle bay breezes and lush greenery create a truly magical atmosphere. The estate features a 2,800 sq. ft. modernized main home, offering luxurious bedrooms, stylish furnishings, and spa-like bathrooms perfect for a relaxed, stress-free stay. The bridal party can prepare onsite in the private master suite, with ample space for hair and makeup teams. A separate 1,600 sq. ft. game room, located a short distance from the main house, provides a private retreat for your partner and wedding party. It includes a 75” TV, surround sound, billiards, ping pong, foosball, and a bar fridge ideal for celebrating and building anticipation before the ceremony. Following the ceremony, guests can mingle in the waterfront backyard, enjoying stunning photo opportunities and unforgettable sunset views. Receptions may be held under the lanai, by the LED-lit pool, on the lawn, or beneath an optional tent. Rope lighting, towering pine trees, and ambient LEDs transform the property into a dreamy nighttime setting. The outdoor space is perfect for dining, dancing, and celebrating under the stars. For added convenience, we offer wedding planning assistance and optional rental accessories, including a decorated altar, sweetheart table, cake table, poolside tables, and coordinated aisle florals (see our Wedding Accessories tab for details). The property includes ample private parking, with separate access for guests and vendors. Located 45 minutes from Sarasota and one hour from Fort Myers Airport, the venue is close to hotels and short-term rentals. The main house can accommodate up to 4 adults and 2 children. All bookings are handled through a private contract outlining venue pricing, accessories, deposits, taxes, house rules, and a clear refund policy, giving you peace of mind while working directly with the owners. We invite you to schedule a tour and envision your perfect day at our waterfront estate.
