Celebration Gardens isn’t just a venue. It’s a team of people who love celebrating life’s happiest moments. Since 1990, our gardens have been a gathering place for weddings, showers, parties, and milestones of all kinds. What makes us special isn’t only the flowers and greenery. It’s the people who welcome you, guide you, and celebrate alongside you.
Top reasons couples and clients choose Celebration Gardens:
1. A lush garden setting — Beautiful greenery and natural scenery create an intimate backdrop without needing to bring in a ton of décor.
2. Indoor + outdoor flexibility — Clients can enjoy the garden atmosphere while still having options for different parts of their event and a backup plan when needed.
3. Affordable pricing — Beautiful celebrations don’t have to come with an overwhelming price tag. Celebration Gardens offers options designed to work with a variety of budgets.
4. A convenient Central Florida location — Located in Winter Park, it gives couples and guests an easy-to-reach venue while still feeling like an escape from the city.
5. Built-In Entertainment: Keep your guests entertained with a fire pit, fire table, cornhole, and mini golf—all right on property. You can even upgrade to a s’mores package for a sweet way to end the night.
6. Versatility for different celebrations — It works for weddings, showers, celebrations of life, corporate gatherings, birthdays, and other private events.
7. A space that already has character — Rather than starting with a blank room, clients get a setting with built-in beauty and atmosphere that can complement a wide range of styles.
8. All-inclusive options + trusted vendors — Take the stress out of planning with all-inclusive options that bring your essential vendors together, making it easier to plan your celebration all in one place.
What began as English Gardens in 1990 has grown into one of Orlando’s most beloved event venues. For two decades, couples and families gathered here to mark life’s biggest moments surrounded by lush greenery and blooming gardens. In 2015, John Michael Events took ownership, fully renovating the property and renaming it Celebration Gardens. The transformation brought new pavilions, updated amenities, and an expanded team, but the heart of the venue stayed the same.
If you look closely, you’ll spot a bit of that history still standing: the original English phone booth near the entrance, kept as a nod to where it all started. Three decades later, thousands of weddings, showers, and celebrations later, we’re still here doing what we love.
Tucked away on a quiet Winter Park street just minutes from downtown Orlando, Celebration Gardens offers something rare in Central Florida: a fully landscaped botanical oasis designed for celebrations of every size, from micro-weddings to grand soirées. Our one-acre property features winding pathways, year-round blooms, mature oak trees, and covered pavilions surrounded by lush greenery.
Host up to 350 guests for cocktail-style events or 200 for seated receptions. The main pavilion accommodates full dinner service beneath twinkling market lights, with weather protection from sun, wind and rain, while our air-conditioned Dahlia Room provides a comfortable space for your wedding party to get ready or even an indoor reception space for smaller events of 40 guests or less. Exchange vows at the ceremony gazebo, gather around the fire pit as the evening winds down, or let guests explore garden pathways. All events include our 5-hole miniature golf green and corn-hole. Dedicated spaces for musicians, DJs, and a fully covered bar mean every detail has a place.

Stunning Gardens, exceeded my expectations!
— An Eventective User
Michael with Celebration Gardens was a pleasure to work with. All contracts, paperwork, appointments, billing and, most importantly, the event itself were handled professionally, smoothly and courteously. Most of our communication was by email - so easy! We had our initial consultation in the Gardens where I was instantly charmed and awed by the magical feel of the space. It was as though I’d stepped out of the everyday bustle, heat and stress and into Shangri-la.
Because my daughter chose not to be vaccinated while she is pregnant (though most all others attending were) she wanted a venue for her baby shower that afforded plenty of space and fresh air for our 40 guests. Bingo! But, as this was late June, we needed weather contingencies and CG had that ‘covered’ too. Thank goodness, because - you guessed it - it rained almost all day. We were still able to eat outside as the large, vine covered pergola is roofed over. We could also have moved inside to the small building where the buffet was.
The service and staff? Couldn’t have asked for better. Seriously. I wanted something very unique; a venue where I could focus on my guests and have the food and service done without me lifting a finger, where the staff knew their jobs and did them without asking me 50 questions, where I told the organizer how I wanted things ONCE and that’s what I got. Not unique you say? Just doing their job? No, very rarely do things run this seamlessly without a hiccup or a fail. Did I mention the food? Amazingly, as good as I could cook at home! Thank you all! It was truly perfect.
For my next event - of any kind - I’ll be back and so will all of my local friends.
