The staff is exceptional—professional, attentive, and incredibly kind. From start to finish, they made the entire day seamless and completely stress-free. Their organization and care allowed us to fully enjoy every moment, knowing everything was in expert hands. We could not recommend The Adams Estate more highly; it is an extraordinary venue with an outstanding team that truly brought our wedding vision to life.

This venue is incredible. I was a December 2025 bride and although I have had no previous experience in wedding planning, Adams Estate knows what they are doing (and in many cases ...
thought of things I felt other venues in the area hadn't). They are so involved in every detail and genuinely care that your wedding vision is brought to life. The staff adds such a personal touch and it truly feels like a family is opening up their home as a wedding venue. If you have the opportunity to book one of their wedding day coordinators... DO IT! It is worth every penny and Abbey was a total gem of a human being to work with. I keep replaying the day over in my head and every part of it was absolutely stunning. Book Adams Estate for your big day - you will not be disappointed!!!

The staff were easy to work with and very responsive. We enjoyed working with Eve and Jhoanna leading up to the wedding day and had the honor of having Eve be our same day coordinator! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and this venue will always hold a special place in our hearts!

The venue itself is absolutely stunning and created the most beautiful backdrop for our ceremony and reception. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how gorgeous everything was and how smoothly the entire day flowed. Anytime we had a question or needed something, the team was right there with a smile and a solution.
We are beyond grateful for the love, effort, and professionalism that went into our wedding day. It was more than we could have ever dreamed of, and we will cherish these memories forever. If you’re looking for a venue that will go above and beyond and make your wedding truly unforgettable, this is it. ❤️

Our wedding at the Adams Estate was visually beautiful—the venue itself is stunning, and we had a gorgeous day. However, I need to highlight some serious concerns, especially regar...
ding accessibility, so future couples have the full picture.
One of the main reasons we chose this venue was its promised accessibility. During both of our tours, Sean personally assured us that my special-needs sister would have full elevator access to the bridal suite. We even used the elevator multiple times during our tours with no warnings or restrictions. Her ability to be part of my wedding morning was extremely important, and I made that clear from the beginning.
On the morning of my wedding, we were suddenly told she had to sign a waiver to use the elevator—something never communicated at any point during the planning process. This was shocking and incredibly upsetting. The waiver requirement caused nearly an hour of delays throughout the day as we repeatedly waited for staff to operate the elevator. It also forced my mom to ride with her instead of her nurse, which added more stress. For a venue that highlights accessibility, this lack of transparency was extremely disappointing and felt like a major oversight.
In addition to this, communication with Debbie (our coordinator) was consistently difficult. She scheduled our rehearsal but didn’t tell us she wouldn’t be there, only responding five minutes into the rehearsal to say she “wasn’t scheduled to work that day.” She also never communicated our upgraded bar package to the bartenders, so the specialty cocktails and wine we paid for were not available during the first hour.
Every garment bag from the bridal suite also went missing. Several were personalized and held items inside. Despite follow-up, they were never found.
Overall, the venue itself is beautiful, but the accessibility issue was significant and emotionally difficult, and the communication problems created stress that simply shouldn’t happen when planning a wedding. I truly hope the Estate improves transparency and ADA-related communication for future couples.
Response from Adams Estate on 11/20/2025
Hey Kim.
Thank you for your fair review. I am glad that despite the problems, you are stil...
l able to have some happy memories of the beautiful day. While our whole team works very hard to ensure every wedding here is wonderful, unfortunately, there were some communication issues that came up with yours. I am truly, truly sorry for the stress and inconvenience they caused.
While our accessibility protocols haven't changed, they weren't followed correctly on our end at booking and that is what caused the issue.
We have now created & placed some new redundant systems to ensure that the access and bar issues never happen again. Please know that we appreciate the feedback and the opportunity to improve.
Wishing you and Brandon the very best.

We had our wedding at the Adams Estate in May and it was absolutely perfect. The venue is beautiful and the accommodation is excellent!
We are from the UK and we thought planning...
a wedding abroad would be difficult but we couldn’t have been more wrong! Eve was incredibly responsive throughout the whole process and went out of her way to help us plan the day… from recommendations of vendors, layout ideas, colours, drinks, the list is endless! We feel so lucky to have had Eve as our venue liaison.
On the day itself, the coordinator from the Adams Estate was incredibly helpful. We changed our set up for the afternoon due to the weather and they sorted this without any problems! The bartender was also brilliant and received lots of compliments from our family and friends.
We are so grateful to every member of staff at the Adams Estate. Our day came together perfectly and we would recommend to anyone looking.

We specifically worked with Abbey as our coordinator and she was very knowledgeable about all things weddings and was able to provide us with the best advice about structuring the event so everything ran smoothly and according to plan. The best part about choosing this venue is the stunning photos you will receive from your photographer when it’s all said and done, every inch of this venue is picture worthy and we are loving looking back on the day and the beautiful estate where we got to say ‘I do.’

A special thank you to Debbie, the venue coordinator, who worked flawlessly with our planner, Sabrina, to bring our vision to life better than we ever imagined. Debbie handled everything with grace and fairness, resolving any issues quickly and thoughtfully—even after the big day. Her calm presence and dedication made all the difference.
If you’re looking for a stunning venue backed by an amazing team, Adams Estate is it. Our wedding weekend was truly unforgettable thanks to them! What impressed us even more was how Debbie continued to offer her support and resolve post-celebration matters with integrity and care. She truly went above and beyond.

Our wedding at The Adams Estate was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we arrived for our initial tour, we were swept away by the charm, elegance, and warmth of the property...
. The historic estate, the stunning lake views, and the beautiful grounds created the perfect backdrop for our special day.
What truly set The Adams Estate apart, though, was the team. From planning to execution, they were incredibly attentive, professional, personable, caring, and genuinely invested in making our day unforgettable. Every detail was flawlessly coordinated, and we were able to fully relax and enjoy each moment knowing we were in great hands.
Our guests were equally blown away—not only by the beauty of the venue but also by the flow of the day, the cozy yet elegant atmosphere, and the exceptional service. Whether it was the stunning ceremony by the lake, the joyful cocktail hour under twinkling lights, or the lively reception in the enclosed, lakefront tent, everything felt personal, warm, and deeply special.
We are beyond grateful to The Adams Estate for helping create memories we’ll cherish for a lifetime. If you're looking for a venue that offers timeless beauty, impeccable service, and a truly one-of-a-kind experience, we cannot recommend The Adams Estate highly enough.
Thank you, Adams Estate for giving us the wedding of our dreams!

Adams Estate and the amazing staff will make your day unforgettable. We were married early May 2025, and could not have asked for a better weekend. We would not have changed a sing...
le thing, and we could not have done it without Abbey (our coordinator).
Prior to the wedding I sent about 100 emails to Abbey and she always responded quickly and in a way that put my mind at ease. She had an answer for everything & it was always music to my ears! Day-of, every single thing ran on time. I don’t know how she did it, but she kept things moving and we also didn’t feel rushed at all. The rehearsal was very helpful as I asked her many questions about what to do at the ceremony - from where to stand, to where to flip my veil. My brother was our officiant and she was able to help him with final touches to his script as well. We cannot thank Abbey and the other Estate staff enough!
Make sure if you decide to get married at Adams that you look into having the rehearsal dinner at the boathouse and having guests stay on-site at the cottages. Stay on-site was the best thing we could have done. It kept the wedding party close all weekend while also allowing everyone reprieve in their own rooms. It also allowed our guests to walk the grounds prior to wedding day and be able to really let it all soak in. Everyone was on time to events because all they had to do was walk 2 minutes to everything! The guests who were not in the wedding party were able to lounge by the pool before the ceremony rather than look for something to do that day.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Abbey, Eve, Jhoanna, and the rest of the team for the most amazing weekend. We cannot thank you enough!

Our wedding at the Adam’s Estate was spectacular! We loved the estate vibe and we got to utilize multiple locations on the property (ceremony garden, terrace, and the tent) not to ...
mention the bridal party got ready on the top floor of the estate and the groom and his groomsmen’s got ready in the grooms loft which was really amazing as well. The whole wedding was really organized and we could tell that Debbie knew what she was doing. Also, I appreciate Sean being so responsive when we were deciding on our wedding date! Sean was also helpful on our tour of the estate and we really appreciate the whole team! It’s truly a dream venue and you can make it exactly what you want. My husband and I wish we could go back to the venue as guests next because that’s how much we loved it. The whole wedding was stunning and it’s wonderful having the entire property to yourself (and your guests). Some wedding venues are public and that’s exactly what I wasn’t going for because I wanted a secluded venue just for us and our guests and that’s what we got! It made for amazing photos and we didn’t have to fight for our spot at getting the right pictures because it was just us (our group) there! I don’t have any regrets on the Adams Estate! It’s exactly what we wanted. Thank you!!

She was always available to answer any questions, offering advice and reassurance, and her warm personality made her a joy to work with.
Thanks to Eve, we had the most beautiful and unforgettable engagement celebration. I would highly recommend Adams Estate to anyone looking for a venue. The entire experience was really good , and I’m so grateful for this choice and I didn’t need to go somewhere else to get ready or do the photoshoot because the place around the venue really nice for photos and they have lodging units for rent for brides and guests super clean and nice

The Adams Estate is the dreamiest wedding venue! My now-husband and I got engaged in September 2023, and started searching for wedding venues in central Florida. Based on our guest...
count, classic theme we were going for, and way we envisioned our wedding, the Adams Estate was the first venue we toured. It ended up being our first and only venue tour, because we booked our wedding date the day of our tour! We absolutely loved working with Eve for booking our wedding, and with Jhoanna for our group lodging. All of the staff members at the Adams Estate, from planning to the big day itself, are absolutely amazing!
We chose to use one of the Adams Estate's day of coordinators for our wedding coordination, and Eve matched us with Debbie. We cannot thank Debbie enough for making sure we had the most magical day of our lives!!! With Debbie's services, I had a portal I could contact her and share documents through, as well as a planning portal for room layouts as we got closer to our wedding day. As a "type A" bride, I thought I would have trouble delegating planning, details, etc. on my wedding day. After my first meeting with me, my mom, and Debbie, I had full trust that Debbie would execute my vision AND then some. Debbie had amazing communication and expert advice throughout the whole planning process, and my husband, mom, and everyone who got to interact with her absolutely LOVED Debbie! She is so kind, detail oriented, and made planning so much fun.
We cannot recommend booking the cottages on the estate enough! It was so much fun (and convenient) having our family all in a little community on the same property as our venue! Everyone loved their cottage. We want to come back and stay in a cottage (and say hi to Debbie and Eve, of course) for an anniversary one day!
The venue is absolutely stunning, and there is so much room for getting ready in the bridal suite and groom's loft. My husband loved how the guys had their own area to hang out, have lunch, and get dressed before the ceremony (a lot of venues only have a bridal suite)! The Adams Estate also gave us vendor recommendations, and all of the vendors were very experienced at our venue and made the day run seamlessly.
We absolutely loved our wedding at the Adams Estate!!!

The Adams Estate was the absolute perfect wedding venue for us! As a previous wedding vendor, I had a long list of wants and needs when looking for my own venue and Adams Estate me...
t all of them. Being able to stay on property with our closest friends, family, and dogs made the night before and wedding day so much easier. Waking up and enjoying the grounds and not having to leave property was such a relief. Our #1 focus for our wedding venue was a seamless Plan B for inclement weather, which is something everyone should think about no matter what time of year in Florida. The added on tent for reception is what ultimately helped us choose Adams Estate, our wedding day ended up with some rain and lots of wind so it was perfect and cozy for our reception. We worked with Eve from our first tour through our wedding day and she helped answer every question, no matter how small, and very quickly. Our whole experience was absolutely great and we would choose Adams Estate all over again :)

Adams Estate was the perfect place for my wedding and reception! It is elegant and sophisticated, yet cozy and welcoming. The staff was amazing! Highly recommend getting a DOC (...
day of coordinator) as they will take care of everything and less stress on the bride. There were cottages and rooms for over 50 people that my guests and I stayed in and it was our own little village for the weekend. Adams Estate is more than just a venue, it's an experience to remember!

Adams Estate is the perfect wedding venue in Polk County, FL! I loved how the upstairs of the estate served as a huge bridal suite for all my bridesmaids to get ready. The boathous...
e served as the perfect spot for the rehearsal dinner the night before as well as the loft above for the groomsmen to have a spot to hang out prior to the ceremony. I also loved how the venue had both indoor and outdoor elements allowing for guests to take a break from the FL heat during the reception. The air conditioned reception tent was also a huge bonus that allowed for an outdoor feel with indoor AC. The cottages onsite allowed for our out of town guests to have an easy place to stay and everyone who stayed at the venue loved hanging out at the pool the night before and following the reception. Sean Middlebrook was a pleasure to work with as well! Truly an amazing venue that will serve as a beautiful backdrop to your wedding day!

The venue of our dreams. As soon as we went to visit the first time we knew this was going to be our venue. They truly think of everything at this venue, alongside how beautiful it...
is. It is convenient to have all of the amenities in one place. The cottages enable guests to stay very close to property. The ceremony garden is beautiful. The open air terrace and newly enclosed climate controlled tent are perfect for the cocktail hour and reception. The bridal suite and grooms loft are a dream to get ready in. The lake is a beautiful backdrop. We loved getting married here, and so did our guests. Everyone asked where we found the venue, they were so impressed. The staff and our coordinator Abbey were amazing helping us through the process. Would highly recommend this venue if you are looking for something on the water or an estate. It is truly beautiful and was the best day of our lives.

Debbie was our liaison and worked closely with my event planner to ensure all the details lined up. We had our rehearsal dinner in the boathouse. There was some confusion regarding...
the catering as (Eve - The owner) had mentioned self catering however there was a fee associated with it which was quite disappointing. We ended up using an approved caterer and the rehearsal dinner went off without a hitch. The wedding day was absolutely stunning. It was super easy for setting up the bar, getting access, and seeing the vision come to life. We had a great team assisting us and really enjoyed our wedding day. The refundable deposits were immediately sent back to us the day after the event which was an awesome addition to just getting married. Debbie was very quick to respond even responding while on vacation and providing detailed responses and listened to any concerns we had. Highly recommend requesting Debbie if you get the option to.
We decided to complete a room block on the cottages for the wedding and it was probably the best decision we made. We had all of our friends and family join us for a pool day followed by an after party - then after the wedding we had another after party. It was so much fun and everyone love the option of hanging out with us more after the event was finished! Johanna was extremely responsive and texted me when each room was available and even left doors unlocked so I could provide a welcome gift to those staying onsite. And to top it all off we had 2 incredible sunsets while we were there!

My husband and I had our wedding at Adam's Estate in late December and all of our guests had an amazing time! Our entire wedding party and families were able to stay on-site in the...
most beautiful cottages for our wedding weekend, organized by the lodging manager, Jhoanna. We had our rehearsal dinner in the boathouse area on the lake, which was so convenient, because no one needed to leave the property for the entire weekend. It was so nice waking up on wedding day and walking a few steps to the gorgeous bridal suite with all of my bridesmaids and family. The groom and his groomsmen also appreciated sleeping in without having to worry about any travel logistics!
We worked primarily with Abbey Brown, one of the event managers, who did an outstanding job. We also hired Abbey for Day-of-coordination and she saved the day MANY times. She organized vendors, helped with decor and made sure my day as the bride was totally stress free. As a bride who planned her entire wedding, I was really concerned that I would be stuck coordinating logistics on my wedding morning, but Abbey was an absolute boss and took over everything on wedding day! It was truly a pleasure to have our event at Adam's Estate and our entire weekend was an absolute dream thanks to Eve Bass (owner), Abbey (coordinator/event manager) and Jhoanna (lodging manager).

s the mother of the bride and my daughter made her decision from the minute we drove up to this beautiful property. We canceled our second appointment that day at another venue because the bride knew there could be no other choice.
There is a peace and tranquility here that can’t help but put you at ease. Our experience was simply elegant and tasteful from start to finish. The vision became reality with Eve’s help. She is very attentive and responsive. This property has been in her family for generations. It is her heart and soul’s labor of love, and it shows.
If you think you will find better accomodations for guests in the area, you will not. The cottages are immaculate, perfectly decorated and comfortable and gives everyone a chance to be together days before and after the ceremony. The bridal suite and groom’s loft are beyond spacious and perfect for day of for the bridal party.
A magical time for us all. We will return to stay at this beautiful place to make new memories and to recall Bridget and Josh’s special day. Thank you Eve and Sean and staff. You have a special and lasting place in our hearts. 💗

day of coordinator and she was so helpful, patient, and accommodating every step of the way. Our guests loved staying on site for the entire weekend and we were really happy to have done our rehearsal dinner in the boat house as well.

ite was an extra bonus. Booking our wedding from the UK and only seeing videos and photos, Debbie our events Manager was extremely helpful and professional every step of the way. She ordered sparklers for us, gave recommendations for vendors including ones that weren’t on their preferred list and even changed the date of our wedding with no extra charge due to a hurricane. Without Debbie, our wedding wouldn’t have been possible. I would recommend the Adams estate to all that are thinking about getting married in Florida. I had a small wedding and it was perfect, but also perfect for a large party too.

Their general manager “Sean”, has been a coordinator, a friend, and a great help “every step of the way”. In addition, we stayed at the beautiful cottages that are on the grounds. The cottages are clean, beautiful and the views in the morning are priceless. The Adam’s Estate is wonderful and I would recommend it over and over again. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

The team at the Adams Estate is nothing short of amazing. To say our wedding was a dream come true is an understatement, even though that sounds cheesy! The Estate is stunning, inc...
redibly well-maintained, and classically gorgeous. We had a very small wedding (about 40 guests) and were able to host most of the party on site in the Estate's cottages overnight. The cottages are absolutely jaw-dropping; almost all of our guests commented that they wished they could live in them full time! Everyone believes that their wedding is/was "the best" wedding, but I've never heard anyone rave about a venue like our guests did about the Adams Estate.
Some other fun things we did:
-Brunch for our guests in the boat house (an underutilized space for sure)
-Rehearsal by the pool for serene photos
-Dinner AND reception under the stars on the patio
But your options are limitless here. Eve and everyone on the team were always available to answer questions and accommodate all sorts of odd requests. If we could get married again, I would do it here.
