Historic Walton House

wans, flamingos... As a veterinarian, my husband and I wanted to include our love for animals on our wedding day. All the guests can't stop raving about all the animals and how beautiful the venue is. If you are looking for an outdoor garden venue, this is it! Thank you Frank for making our dream wedding come true!

en” with the lush greenery and beautiful birds (and monkeys!). Your guests will love the setting and your photographer will capture the most unreal pictures. I cannot say enough about the natural beauty of this hidden gem in South Florida.

om start to finish it met and surpassed all my expectations. The bridal suit was gorgeous, it felt like being in a real life doll house and it was spacious enough for everyone to get ready for the big day! There was iced water, champagne, and orange juice waiting for us when we arrived and later in the afternoon they even brought us the most delicious coffee ever in these cute little mugs! All throughout the day the made the entire experience as stress free as possible and my guest could not stop raving about how beautiful the venue was from the gorgeous old Florida landscaping to the amazing animals! I even had guest ask me for information for their own weddings!! All in all We were more than happy with our decision to have our big day at the Walton house and I would like to give Frank, his mom, and his staff a huge thank you for helping us make this special day that much better and making us feel like part of your beautiful family!! I look forward to having future events at the walton house and making this gorgeous place a family tradition!

ere having our make-up and hair done. We knew this venue was "THE" venue the moment we drive onto the property. Now we're part of the family! I can't wait to see our pictures and take our album back to share with the Blancos. There aren't enough words to say how absolutely amazing our fairy tale wedding at The Walton House was!! The details and memories are far too many and it just doesn't do it justice. Our friends and family can't stop talking about how incredible and exotic the grounds were...and of course Toby, the capuchin monkey that brought our rings down the aisle :)

ocation and the landscape and lighting make for a magical experience. We received so many compliments from our guests about what a beautiful location it was. The animals were a bonus, and our guests loved interacting with them during the cocktail hour (we had little bags of fish food for kids to feed the koi during the cocktail hour which was especially fun). Frank and his team were very easy to work with. They made sure every detail was perfect and they work hard to keep the area clean and ready for the big day. Our wedding day was so amazing and I am so happy that we chose this venue.

itself is gorgeous and as for the rest of Walton House, well, it's a tropical dream land! Our pictures looked unreal. There's an endless amount of stunning backdrops for your photos. It's a unique and magical place. Frank also makes sure the property is sparkling and well lit throughout the evening. It rained during our ceremony but the converted stables made for a beautiful alternative venue. I love this place!

and that would accommodate all of the vendors we had already booked and paid deposits for. And, let's face it, the new venue had to be at least as amazing as our first venue, which took our breath away. I found the Walton House online and loved it. Because I am originally from FL and my fiance's family is British, the combination of the tropical grounds and the English-style cottage seemed like a dream come true. I asked my parents to visit to make sure the pictures didn't mislead and they assured me it was even better in person! Unfortunately I personally wasn't able to visit prior to the wedding, but the Walton House worked closely with my parents and my vendors to make everything perfect. They accommodated our every request, including multiple site visits, and were so friendly and responsive. So, again, I didn't get to see the place until the day before the wedding. After everything my parents had described, I was confident, but still nervous. Well, I was blown away. It's like stepping into a magical rain forest! The foliage is so lush and tropical, there are beautiful birds everywhere, including free-running peacocks, and the lighting at night is so elegant! My bridesmaids and I got ready in the bridal suite, which was very comfortable. Being able to prep onsite was great and reduced a lot of our stress. My vendors were given plenty of time to set up. It was raining on and off, but we were able to easily move the ceremony into the gorgeously converted stables while keeping the original plan of dining outside near the stables and hosting cocktail hour in the tiki hut. The guests could not stop raving about how beautiful the Walton House was. They were mostly from up North and were so impressed by how tropical everything was. They said that even the passing rain sprinkles added to the ambience and the magic. We had so much fun, and we owe so much of our wedding's success to the wonderful owners of the property and to the beauty of the venue. I highly recommend the Walton House to any bride!

to be the most serendipitous thing that could happen. As we scrambled to find alternatives on short notice, my daughter discovered The Walton House in the Redland, near Homestead, Florida. The location was near enough to the hotel we were using for our guests (the Harbor Bay Marriott Resort in Key Largo) so no changes were needed for that arrangement. We visited and were immediately enchanted with not only this spectacular venue, but with the owners, Frank and Magali. They were very understanding of our predicament and received us warmly. After a tour of their amazing property we booked immediately. A huge plus was their easy accommodation of our requests and we were able to use the caterer and DJ we had already lined up. One of the greatest features of The Walton House is the ability to have a multiple number of options for where to have the ceremony and reception. The weather leading up to the wedding day had been rainy, so during rehearsal the night before we decided to move the ceremony to the main entrance from the lawn. On the day of the wedding, with the forecast still questionable, we moved the ceremony to the beautifully converted stable. This kind of versatility at The Walton House has a very calming and confidence inspiring effect. Further, the grounds offer unique paths through lush tropical grounds that take you and your guests to new discoveries, like the tiki hut and deck overlooking a delightful pond complete with beautiful swans. Exotic birds, including flamingos enhance the experience. Most of our guests were from northern US, Canada and England. All of them were absolutely raving about this venue and the wedding. It was nothing short of magical. Learning about the change in our original venue choice was disappointing, but it turned out to be the best thing that could happen. The Walton House turned out to be more beautiful, exotic and memorable making us completely forget we ever picked a different venue. It was a true blessing. If you are planning a destination wedding or any wedding or event in the Keys or South Florida, there is no better place with nicer more professional people than The Walton House. We know, we checked into dozens of different spots and these people are the best. They are dedicated to making your wedding the most memorable occasion possible. I strongly recommend The Walton House if you are looking for a unique and memorable wedding for you and your guests.
