About Lakeview Gardens

Umatilla, Florida | Outdoor + Garden Weddings

Some couples walk in and just know.

It’s not just the view—though the lake at sunset is hard to beat.

It’s the feeling. The quiet magic of being outdoors in nature. The freedom to do it your way.

At Lakeview Gardens, we believe your wedding should feel like you. You can plan every detail yourself or pick from our curated vendor collections with as much or as little involvement from our team as you’d like. Go all-inclusive or take the DIY route. Or, choose a theme that’s totally your vibe—tropical, Bridgerton-inspired, boho, even a little witchy. Whatever your vision, this is your space to create it.

Tucked away in the hills of Umatilla, surrounded by oaks and overlooking a peaceful lake, Lakeview Gardens offers a one-of-a-kind setting for outdoor weddings. Choose from multiple ceremony backdrops: under the trees, beside the lake, or poolside with floating candles. Each space is designed to be beautiful on its own but flexible enough to bring any vision to life.

We’re just 20 minutes from Mount Dora and 45 minutes from Orlando or Ocala—close enough for guests, far enough to feel like a getaway.

When it’s time to get ready, you’ll have two private suites:

— A garden suite on the second floor of the main estate, with panoramic views of the lake and gardens—a peaceful, light-filled space to relax before the ceremony

— A separate private suite tucked away on the property, complete with a kitchen, TVs, and pool table—ideal for unwinding with your people

And when it’s all said and done, you’ll have more than stunning photos—you’ll have memories that feel like you from start to finish.
