Absolutely wow! That’s all we have to say. First things first I have to say I believe that this venue was VERY reasonably priced, especially with today’s venues. The lake where the ceremony is was absolutely picture perfect. A special thank you to Mrs Britany (the coordinator) for making our day very memorable and welcoming. She made sure that everyone the day of the wedding was calm and making sure that we were eating. She was always asking if we needed anything or any drinks. When we went to rehearsal on Friday she made sure we rehearsed both inside and out due to the rain percentage on our wedding day! It ended up being perfect and the food was amazing. To make the check list even higher the venue has houses and duplexes you can rent out. A lot of our friends also bought their campers where you can park them and pay by the night! The whole bridal party came Friday night and had an amazing time at the venue’s restaurant two houses down (The Big Bass Grill) which also had amazing food and a great environment. Thank you Big Cypress Weddings for making our special day one we will never forget!!

This wedding venue is absolutely breathtaking!!!!
If you are looking for an outside venue on a beautiful lake—this is the place.
As the mother of the bride, I worked with the wedding coordinator (Brittany) on numerous occasions and she was amazing. If I had questions about anything she was prompt with answers. She constantly kept in touch with me -making sure I was stress free.
We arrived two days before the wedding and stayed in the beautiful and spacious bridal suite. It is located next to the venue. We had several members of the bridal party stay on the premise as well, and it added even more special memories for the wedding.
There was a storm approaching on the day of the wedding and the venue team was ready for any changes we needed to make. . This meant a lot because literally 15 minutes before the wedding the rain stopped and the venue crew was outside in action “making sure the bride’s dream of an outside wedding came true.” Honestly, we were never stressed because the venue truly made the whole bridal party feel at ease.
The outside views are stunning for pictures. Water fountains flowing in the ponds, bridges, and beautiful trees were a plus.
After the wedding outside, the party continued inside with a beautiful relaxed feeling. The food, drinks and DJ were an added bonus.
If you are looking for a beautiful outdoor wedding in a cozy location ….this is your venue. Thank you Big Cypress Weddings for making my daughter’s wedding vision a memory that will definitely last forever.
