To all couples! Plan your wedding as far out as possible, because one of the gems in regards to wedding venues in Central Florida is the Lake Mary Events Center.
Having been a wedding DJ in Central Florida for over 10 years, I have seen just about every venue. This venue is by far my favorite for many reasons. When you arrive, it is as if you are attending a party at a friend’s mansion. It is nothing short of elegant inside with it’s tall ceilings, floor to ceiling glass, and well manicured lawns.
Some venues have a nice ceremony area. This venue has three! You can have your ceremony outside in two different places, and on the water I might add. Or you can have the ceremony inside the rotunda with beautiful views of the outdoor lawn/gardens and lake. The rotunda is a fantastic backup solution to the outside ceremony areas. It’s used for ceremonies even as a primary space because it is climate controlled with views of the outside lake. It also comes with floor to ceiling glass and updated wood floors that were added at the beginning of this year.
There are several areas for cocktail hour. The outdoor space is used during the cooler months and the indoor space in the main hallway is used during the warmer months.
The ballroom is huge and can accommodate weddings over 200 people. It also comes with floor to ceiling glass with views of the landscaping and lake. There is a built in stage and dance floor. We’re not talking about a cheap dance floor or cheap stage. They have a high quality wood floor finish that is painstakingly maintained by the Lake Mary Events Center employees after each event.
LED Up lights look amazing at this venue. I usually bring 20 LED up lights as you can see in some of the up lighting pictures here.
Not many people know this, but you can rent their projectors that are mounted in the ceiling and use them to project an image or gobo on the wall. A standard gobo is about $200 with the light and stand. But the Lake Mary Events Center charges a MUCH smaller fee to access the projector. I personally don’t charge for plugging in a laptop to project on their projector, so consider it an unexpected bonus at this fantastic venue. The picture I have attached above is of a wedding I DJed with the projector displaying the couple’s names.
This venue is the perfect Florida (weather) venue. You will not have to worry about weather at all. There is even a cover at the entrance. There is not one venue I can think of that wins in all categories of what a bride and groom would need or want. Seriously, reserve this venue, even if you have to set your wedding date to a Friday or Sunday before they book up!
