From the first time we toured Edison and Ford Winter Estates we knew it was the perfect venue for our wedding. Maisen was extremely helpful and responsive throughout the planning process and on the day of. The staff was also extremely helpful in accommodating our guests who had difficulty walking. It was such a beautiful venue and we had the best day!
The most incredible venue!! I can’t say enough about how beautiful the grounds are. The ceremony was in front of the fig tree and the reception was at the river pavilion. It was GORGEOUS!!! Maisen, the venue coordinator, was exceptional - from start to finish!! Her professionalism and support was beyond!! My daughter’s wedding was perfect!
"We had the most incredible experience at the Edison & Ford Winter Estates! The venue itself was absolutely gorgeous – every corner was stunning, and it provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. We can’t thank Maisen enough for her exceptional work. From the start, she was so easy to work with and incredibly organized. She kept everything on track and made sure every detail was perfect. Maisen and her team went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day went so smoothy. Thanks to her, we had the most unforgettable day, and we’re so grateful for all her hard work. We couldn’t be more thankful!"
5 Stars - Incredible Venue and Exceptional Service!
We had our wedding at The Edison & Ford Winter Estates, and I can't recommend it enough! The venue itself is absolutely stunning—beautiful gardens, historic charm, and the perfect backdrop for a wedding. It truly felt like a dream come true.
What really stood out, though, was the incredible team that made everything come together. Just a couple weeks before our wedding, a hurricane passed through the area, but the team at the Estates worked tirelessly to ensure the venue was cleaned up and ready for our big day. The attention to detail and their dedication was beyond impressive.
A special shoutout to Maisen, our onsite coordinator, who made the entire experience seamless. She was so easy to work with, incredibly organized, and so friendly! Maisen’s attention to detail and ability to manage everything with grace was a huge part of what made the day so perfect. We truly couldn't have pulled off such a wonderful night without her!
Many of our guests commented that it was the prettiest wedding they’ve ever attended, and I wholeheartedly agree. If you’re looking for a stunning location and a team that goes above and beyond, The Edison & Ford Winter Estates is the place to be. Highly recommend for any wedding or special event!
We were recently married at Edison & For Winter Estates during the first weekend of March. Lindsey & Maisen were very thorough in all details leading up to our best day. My husband and I are studying on the other side of the state, but they were gracious enough to coordinate tours with our family that were helping us plan. By the time we made it to the rehearsal dinner, it was like visiting a friend! We are very thankful for Maisen’s help the day of, making sure that our music and entrances coordinated with the arrival of our guests. It would not have gone as smoothly without her! We will have memories & photos to last a lifetime thanks to their gracious hosting on the beautiful, historic lands. Thank you a million!
My new husband and I had our wedding here on December 16th, which was the day a very unusual winter storm was meant to hit Fort Myers. Our coordinators, Maisen and Lindsey, went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make our wedding come to life, with plenty of backup plans and contingencies just in case. They, as well as the Estates, were incredibly accommodating. We could not have imagined a more beautiful wedding. Was it exactly what we envisioned or planned? No, but thanks to the lovely people who worked there, we got something much better; something that myself, my husband, our families and our guests RAVED about. Thank you so much again to the Edison and Ford Winter Estates for hosting our wedding!
They were an integral part of the best day of our lives!
Having our wedding at the Edison and Ford Winter Estates was the absolute best decision we made for our wedding. The entire team was incredible from start to finish, the venue was GORGEOUS, and our guests have told us multiple times that this was the best wedding and most beautiful venue they've attended.
Seriously, we cannot praise or thank the team enough for all they did to make our day extra special!
The Edison Ford Winter Estates was the perfect setting for my destination wedding. I had a wonderful experience working with the event team, Maisen and Lindsey. They were responsive, professional, and have meticulous attention to detail. Even though I was planning my day from the other side of the country, Maisen was always an email or phone call away-- I was never left with an unanswered question. My wedding had a lot of moving pieces-- 83 guests, live music, plated dinner, potential bad weather etc. I was able to truly enjoy the whole day, and didn't have to worry about a thing knowing that I have Maisen and Lindsey in my corner. Their hard work really shined, and I can confidently say that to me, it was a perfect day. Thank you!!
Our wedding with 55 guests was held at sundown on the bank of the Caloosahatchee River at the Estates. The event staff coordinated all our vendors and made sure everything was in place and on time. They also stepped in for the florist who no-showed. Everything about the Estates added to the beauty of the wedding. The botanicals, the river, the sunset...it was magical!
The Edison & Ford Estates are so beautiful and we were so happy with our ceremony there. We booked the Moonlight Garden and Maisen, our site coordinator, was fantastic.
Our wedding at the Edison and Ford Winter Estates was more perfect than we imagined! It would not have been possible without support from Edison and Ford's day-of coordinator, Maisen. We planned our wedding from out-of-state which can be a bit tough, but Maisen helped make it easy and was very approachable. She also worked with all of our vendors to ensure things ran smoothly. After Hurricane Ian, we didn't think we would be able to still have our wedding. Maisen was transparent with everything that was going on - we were very impressed with how Edison and Ford worked to make their facilities quickly operational. We are amazed and very fortunate that we still had our wedding despite the devastation, which we attribute to Edison and Ford - several guests have commented on how our wedding was one of the most beautiful they've been to. Lastly, on the day-of, Maisen was like an additional bridesmaid - she helped bustle my dress, drove us around in a golf cart to make sure we got photos in all the places we wanted, and acted as great moral support. We cannot say enough great things about having an event at Edison and Ford Winter Estates, & highly recommend this venue to anyone considering it!
Maisen and Lindsey were beyond helpful planning our big day! Being from out of state, Maisen did a live video tour for us. She also worked with all of our vendors to make sure everything went flawlessly!!!
The Edison Home was the perfect spot for our wedding. Everything was decorated for Christmas and it looked so beautiful with the lights. Our guests raved about the venue all night. Cori, the event coordinator, was amazing. She organized everything and was there to help whenever I needed it. Amazing venue and staff.
Edison & Ford (and especially Cori!) are amazing and made all my wedding dreams come true! Cori was super responsive and on top of everything, and even made time to check in with me to just see how I was feeling. The day of the wedding, some unexpected issues with other vendors came up and we unfortunately hired a wedding planner that didn’t really know what they were doing, but Cori swooped in to fix any issue as they came up. I honestly can’t say enough nice things about how thoughtful and professional the team at Edison & Ford are. The location is absolutely perfect. I’m almost sad the wedding is over because I don’t get to chat with Cori as much!
Cori and Kasey were awesome! The helped me stayed calm all the way up to wedding day and contacted all my vendors to make sure the day of the wedding everything went smoothly. And everything came out wonderful!!! They make the best team! AND the location is absolutely beautiful!
I honestly cannot say enough about the Edison and Ford Winter Estates! Not only did our wedding photos turn out absolutely stunning, Cori and her team made sure that our day was perfect. Every little detail was taken care of and thought of and we honestly could not have been happier with how our day turned out. Thank you so much for helping make this day so special!
We love the history behind the Edison and Ford Winter Estates, and we loved being able to celebrate our marriage here! The site was beautiful and the staff was more than helpful. It ended up raining the day of our ceremony (it's good luck they say lol), but they were more than accommodating with umbrellas and enclosed golf carts to help keep the wedding party and guests dry.
Tori from the estates was great to work with, she was so helpful with planning the ceremony and getting everything taken care of the day of. This was a splurge in my budget but I would not trade it for anything!
The place is amazing for photography, accommodating for weather changes and staff are helpful and really made our day special.... Tori especially.
We paid to have two hours on the grounds to have our pictures done, best money spent! The staff was great and helped us come up with ideas for the pictures and as always the grounds were beautiful
