Tavares Pavilion On The Lake was an absolute dream venue for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication was on point and consistent, which put our minds at ease during the planning process. When Hurricane Milton hit right before our big day, they stayed in close contact with us the entire time, doing everything in their power to ensure our wedding date remained intact. The staff went above and beyond to make our special day truly unforgettable - their kindness and attention to detail was simply breathtaking. The venue itself is stunning, and worth every penny. We could not have asked for a more perfect setting to celebrate our love. We are so grateful to the entire Tavares Pavilion team for making our wedding dreams a reality.

We recently got married at Cypress Creek Farmhouse, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. When we visited for the first time, we knew it was the perfect location for our special day. Cypress Creek Farmhouse offers so many beautiful, greenery-filled backdrops for pictures. The outdoor ceremony area is stunning, has a lake behind it, and has a pergola you can decorate with flowers. The indoor reception area is wonderful as well, and there was plenty of space for our needs. The getting ready suites were amazing and offered more than enough space for everyone to get ready comfortably. Additionally, we greatly appreciated that we were able to utilize things like charger plates, linens, and decor that Cypress had on hand instead of having to buy them ourselves. On the day of the event, the whole Cypress Creek Farmhouse team ensured that everything ran smoothly, allowing us to relax and enjoy the day with our loved ones. What makes this place so special are the owners, who also live on the property. From the moment we first met, Ty and Craig always made us feel welcome. Throughout the planning process, Ty was wonderful. She is attentive, professional, and accommodating. From our initial inquiry to the day of the wedding, she was always available to answer questions and offer guidance. Overall, our experience at Cypress Creek Farmhouse was nothing short of exceptional. From the beautiful surroundings to the wonderful owners (Ty and Craig), every aspect of our wedding exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Cypress Creek Farmhouse to anyone in search of the perfect wedding venue! Thank you Ty, Craig, and the rest of the Cypress Creek Farmhouse team, for being a part of our special day! :)
