Historic Palm Lodge is a stunning wedding venue in Redland, FL. This beautiful house and tropical gardens are an Old Florida Wood Frame Vernacular House that boasts originality in every corner. This two-story building features an expansive porch, high ceilings, wooden panel ceilings, and white wicker furniture.
Historic Palm Lodge is home to over 8,000 specimens of tropical trees and plants, growing the most incredible fruits and flowers. Many of these foliage are not found anywhere else in America. Colonel Henry Johnston Wallace is to thank for cultivating these specimens and creating the magical gardens on the site. The gardens were restored in 2022 by local horticulturist Andy Blanco, who honored the Old Florida style and maintained the various environments in each area surrounding the house. The Banyan Jungle is a stunning location for breathtaking wedding photographs, with a seashell walkway adorned with ivy and palms. Henry’s Hideaway lies on the other side, a shaded tropical courtyard ideal for outdoor dining or an intimate ceremony. The enclosed area dawns a gazebo for poolside drinks and a new sound system for entertainment throughout the event. Couples can use these scenes for photoshoots or as a backdrop to their special day. Inside, décor from Old Florida was a strong inspiration at the Historic Palm Lodge. The interior decorating combines the original dark wood furniture left behind on the property and more modern additions. The tropical color pallet beautifully complements the white wicker accents throughout. Three bedrooms are available in the main house, with two additional rooms in the cottage.
Newlyweds can avail of Historic Palm Lodge for small intimate weddings or grand events. The interior doors make great use of the space, allowing the venue to open up to larger crowds or close the area into a more secluded space. The bedrooms are available for wedding suites in preparation for the big day, as well as overnight accommodation. The location also offers an extensive outdoor function area under a covered pavilion, which includes an outdoor bar, dining, and lounging options. An on-site prep kitchen is available for catering possibilities.

Elizabeth’s inspiration was to find a property in Miami that would serve as the perfect backdrop to create a memorable and transportive experience. Palm Lodge offered a magical story that combined the fabulous Kentucky Colonel and the magnificent 100 year old garden that he planted. As soon as she stepped foot on the property she knew that it was the perfect property to achieve what she wanted. The majestic canopy of trees surrounding the property create a cool and special breeze that is best enjoyed on the expansive Southern Porch.

We couldn’t recommend enough Historic Palm Lodge.
Planning a wedding from the other side of the world is not a piece of cake, but thanks to the support and dedication of Elizabeth and Michelle, our dream celebration became a reality with no dramas. Despite the miles between us, communication was seamless, and they accommodate to our multiple zoom meeting requests and video calls, giving us peace of mind and comfort when we most needed it.
They provided invaluable insights, suggesting local vendors and unique touches that helped us to add an extra layer of charm to our celebration. One of the standout features of their service was their flexibility in all aspects of the process, specially when they opened their doors for us on unconventional timing and days, allowing us to craft our wedding celebration at our own pace. This level of accommodation not only made the planning process stress-free but also created an atmosphere of warmth and understanding at a human level that we hardly encounter while looking for wedding venues.
The venue! The magical, charming, and gorgeous Historic Palm Lodge!
This place went above and beyond, since we saw the place on pictures, we knew it was special, but we never magnify the incredible energy we encounter the day we set foot on this place for the first time! I can only say please go and stand under the banyan trees, our ceremony couldn’t have been in a better place, the level of intimacy and how nature sheltered our ceremony it was just magical!
This place will carry one of the most special moments of our lives and we are eternally grateful because we couldn’t have a better experience, an experience that you only live once.
Gracias Totales!

A long over due review! But when you’re having the time of your life with your husband after your AMAZING and MAGICAL wedding…. Who can blame me!?
First I want to thank Elizabeth for having us, it truly was an honor and she’s the best. Along with her beautiful team Michele and Paty who helped bring our vision and dream come true.
After a 5 month search for the perfect venue, my sister and I finally came across this wonderful house through a friend. As soon as we walked in, we immediately fell in love! This venue is by far the most PERFECT “Backyard Wedding” house. It gave all the classic Barbie dream house vibes along with an old French, rustic, vintage feel. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our special day, it truly was amazing. This home will always have a place in my heart and will most definitely be back for future celebrations!

This venue is truly magical and the owner and her family are such a pleasure to work with.
Once inside the property, you feel whisked away into an enchanted garden filled with magical areas to explore.
The main house is playful and pretty in pink-the updates perfectly meld old world charm with modern amenities.
The carriage house is the perfect backdrop for pre-event cocktails, a ceremony or a dance party. The entire property is so versatile-the options are endless.
The vibe is Celerie Kemble meets tropical jungle, wrapped up into a charming historic home/estate.
