Mission Inn Resort & Club

and the golf lovers in our group loved playing the courses before the wedding! We even had a huge scramble with the guests. Paige was extremely responsive and helped us out for months leading up to the wedding. We could not have done it without her. We had multiple events on site including a welcome party, reception, ceremony, and after party! Shuttles were provided and transportation was easy. The guests would not stop talking about how beautiful the venue was. If you’re looking for the ‘old Florida’ feel, the Mission Inn is perfect! Highly recommended, we did not have a single issue on wedding day! Thanks Mission Inn team and Paige for an unforgettable weekend!

ppointed.

ht one out and did a great job with follow-ups! While the Mission Inn's facilities may be slightly dated, their team did an incredible job transforming every space we had reserved during our wedding weekend. The big selling point for my wife and I was the ability for our guests to stay on property after the wedding. Wow - Did this pay off! We had such an incredible time during the reception, but we ended up pouring over into La Margarita that became a bar where our guests could purchase their own drinks. Our guests definitely stayed in that bar until close. The day of our rehearsal dinner, the men played golf. Paige was incredible and she was able to reserve us 3 tee times at a discounted rate! The course was incredible! The greens are wildly fast gentlemen. While we were golfing the ladies took advantage of a little spa day. After our separate activities, the entire wedding party met at the pool for a little get together and we pretty much took over the entire pool deck because this was a Thursday afternoon, so there were not too many other guests around during this time. Unfortunately, because this was a Thursday afternoon with lower occupancy rates, they did not have a bartender by the pool while we were hanging out before the rehearsal dinner.

dfather when he was younger. We decided to take a tour, after struggling with finding a venue. We met Jessica, and we fell in love! She showed us the multiple venues that are available for weddings, and we chose the Legends Courtyard. A secluded, quiet, gorgeous spot overlooking the golf course. Not only did we find the perfect wedding venue, we found the best wedding planning team! The all-inclusive package made wedding planning so smooth, and made our decisions much easier. Paige was our event manager, and she made sure we were happy with all aspects of our special day. She was very responsive, organized, and so kind to us. She’s got a busy job, but she made us feel like we were her only couple. And on the day of, she checked in on us throughout the day, and all through the night to make sure we were satisfied. Our wedding day was the best day of our lives, and we will forever be thankful to Mission Inn for being such an integral part of that.

nner, spa bachelorette party, bachelor game room, hotel stays, rehearsal dinner, and a guest golf tournament as well as the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Nelson, the Food and Drink Director, worked with us the entire weekend to make sure we had all the treats we desired! We would highly recommend the All-Inclusive Package to anyone considering Mission Inn as their wedding location. It was so convenient and easy because they did all the contracting with the vendors. So much was included in this package which saved us a lot of stress! Kerry and Jessica were such great resources every step of the way! We are so grateful to them and the Mission Inn staff in general!!!

ne in between made it feel like a home away from home. I’m so sad my wedding is over, but we will be back soon just to relax. Highly highly recommend getting married here.

fell in love with La Hacienda and Plaza de las Palmas but always dreamed of an oak tree for our ceremony. Jessica made sure that dream came true. Our ceremony was a bit off the beaten path and could not have been more perfect for us. Kerry was our catering manager and she went above and beyond for us. She answered any and all questions and helped guide us every step of the way. I can’t say enough how thankful we are for her. Our wedding felt like a fairytale and all the little details were flawless. If there were hiccups, I was blissfully unaware of them because of how well managed everything was. We loved that our guests could stay on property when our reception went on into the night and we loved even more that we could do the same. Mission Inn’s team made sure we had champagne, food, and cake waiting for us in our room with a surprise gift to end the perfect night. We can’t wait to go back and celebrate our anniversary at our favorite place.

rehearsal, to the day itself. In less than 30 minutes we were able to transform our outdoor ceremony into an indoor affair with the help of Kerry and her Mission Inn Staff (due to weather). The resort was able to comfortably accommodate both our families, and everyone was impressed with the hotel accommodations and amenities (including golf). Let me say this - having a brunch wedding was in no way less elegant nor fun as an evening wedding. The food and drinks for our cocktail hour and brunch reception were incredible. Guests were able to enjoy the day together, eat and drink their fill, and then head home safely. After all the fun, we were able to clean up, pack away our things, and head to our honeymoon suite for a well-deserved nap.

kept us on track. We had the rehearsal dinner at Marina Del Ray. It was before for an evening dinner and very spacious. They provided shuttles to and from the venue for our quests. We had our wedding in the plaza and it was beautiful. The reception in La Hacienda was also a dream. We had 55 people and they staged it perfectly for our smaller wedding. The food was sour of this world! Every guest was obsessed with the beef and brandy cream sauce. Also, we had a medical issue with a guest during the reception and the staff handled it with efficiency and kindness. The hotel rooms on site are perfect, as we had mostly our of town guests and the many options for restaurants is wonderful. I would 100% recommend looking to have your wedding here! And ask for Kerry if you can :)

resort as our venue, but they blew everyone else out of the water. They had many venue locations for us to look at and ended up falling in love with the Courtyard area at Legends. We were blown away by their packages and offers; it was the best of what we had seen offered out of all the other venues in Central FL we had looked at. We had also gone in December and were given a Black Friday deal where they provided the DJ. We booked in December 2019 for a March 2021 wedding. Of course, Covid had other plans, and we ended up deciding to push back our date to 2022. They were extremely helpful in getting us rebooked, it was fairly painless. We mainly worked with Helen R. She was fantastic! She saw to all of our needs and she made sure all of our questions and concerns were addressed. She was very communicative with us and gave us brilliant suggestions of vendors when we ended up having to move the date (as some of our previously selected vendors were not available on the new date). Helen really spent a lot of time going over the details of our wedding and making sure we were happy with the arrangements. We were hesitant to book a place that was going to provide the catering without having tried some of the food. We looked up other reviews about the Mission Inn and in nearly all of them; I mentioned that the food was great, so that won us over. So here's another review to attest to that! THE FOOD WAS AMAZING! We absolutely loved the food for our rehearsal dinner and for our reception! I am looking forward to being able to eat there for our future anniversaries! We enjoyed our honeymoon suite and our wedding guests said they liked their rooms. We really enjoyed relaxing by the pool. Our stay was overall really pleasant. My advice would be if you end up booking, have your guest book rooms EARLY for your wedding date! Each vendor we booked made comments about how they enjoyed working with the Mission Inn; almost like it was a relief to them we had booked Mission Inn for our venue. So that was comforting to know that as we were planning everything. Sure enough, there were no issues between the Mission Inn and our other vendors. The Mission Inn is -very- good at managing their weddings. While checking in the day before our wedding, I overheard a conversation where one of the staff informed a guest that there were SEVEN weddings happening that weekend. I was a little worried when I heard that, but really it was all fine; I saw hints that other weddings were going on, but never did I feel like I was sharing space with another bride, nor did our parties overlap at all. I can confidently say, based on our experience, that booking with the Mission Inn is a solid decision. It's going to make your planning so much easier and you will have a fantastic day. We loved our wedding! We wish we could do it all over again. We loved it so much! Thank you to all the Mission Inn staff for making it a truly amazing day for us!!!

ing our views for our wedding and answering any question we could think of along the way. Jessica was personable and professional the entire time, and we could feel her love for Mission Inn on our tour! We went to the Legends ceremony and reception site last, and I quickly knew this was where I wanted to marry my person. Jessica sat with us for quite a while after the tour was complete to further discuss our wedding vision and to introduce the all-inclusive vendor package. My then-fiance and I made that decision official before we got to the car to leave; we would do the all-inclusive package and get married at Legends! We emailed Jessica the next day to let her know the happy news. From there, we were assigned Helen as our catering manager and were provided the list of vendors who were included in the all-inclusive package so we could start choosing who we wanted for our big day. There were a wide variety of vendors who offered everything we wanted and more! We also worked closely with Helen (who is amazing, by the way) to choose every detail of our ceremony space and reception. The catering team was able to make my decade-long dream of having a late night mashed potato bar come true, as well as ensure my then-fiancé was able to show his love for chicken tenders by having it as an appetizer. Literally any time we said "Hey Helen, we were thinking of doing X," she was completely on board and found a way to make it happen. She's like a wedding wizard! After thirteen months of planning, the day finally arrived. It was so stormy in the morning, but then the clouds parted and I think I literally heard angels singing. Our ceremony space was beautiful, and our upgrade choices (like white gloved service and passed champagne after the ceremony on the way to cocktail hour) were executed perfectly. Every staff member we interacted with was an absolute pleasure, and it seemed they all tried to bend over backwards to ensure my husband and I had the best time. The reception continued in the same manner, and everything was beautiful. The vendors we had carefully chosen from the all-inclusive list were exceptional, and truly helped us have the absolute best day and night of our lives. But it didn't stop there! When my husband and I got back to our room, we found desserts from our wedding along with a sweet note and a bottle of champagne. We enjoyed an amazing brunch at La Hacienda the next morning (I am still dreaming about the Prime Rib) before departing. It is now nearly three weeks after the big day, and we still have guests contacting us to tell us what an amazing time they had at our wedding. They compliment the beautiful grounds and warm staff, as well as the amazing food and overall atmosphere. I am very sad that our wedding day is over, and wish we could relive it many more times to come! We will be returning to Mission Inn in the future to revel in the memories we made on our big day. I would not hesitate to recommend Mission Inn to any future couples considering getting married here, and we highly recommend the ease of the all-inclusive package. DO IT, you will not regret it! Our wedding far surpassed our wildest dreams, and we credit that to the staff and vendors recommended by Mission Inn!

dicated, professional and passionate! I don’t have enough words to describe how AWESOME THEY ARE!!!! Thanks to everyone that made my friends day a very special one! Live u guys

I want to give a special shoutout to Helen Ronchetti it was an absolute pleasure working with you. Thank you to the entire staff and Mission Inn for making our wedding a dream come true.

process. It was absolutely wonderful! Kerry Bosela was our planning point of reference, and we just can’t say enough wonderful things about her. She is cool, calm, organized, and just who you need by your side on your special day. Her communication with us was superb! The all-inclusive package really narrowed down for us who we wanted to be a part of our day. It was nice to have top of the line options for all of the necessary components of a wedding/reception. As far as the venue, I couldn’t believe we were still in Florida! It’s a beautiful historic, Mediterranean feel with romantic vibes everywhere you turn. It was literally dreamy. We had to contend with winter storm Izzy on the day of our wedding, and weren’t sure we would even be able to have our wedding outside. Kerry walked through other indoor options with us up until the very last possible minute just in case changes were needed. Thankfully, Izzy blew over, and our fairytale continued! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

and the guidance you receive from the Sales Team + your personal Catering Manager is what I felt made my wedding planning experience top notch! When selecting the Mission Inn Resort, we fell in love with Plaza Fontana for our ceremony and the resort side ballroom for our reception. I had the best of both worlds with having a stunning outside ceremony on Plaza Fontana and then my enchanted forest wedding inside the ballroom. It was everything I hoped it would be on wedding day and more! Jessica, the Director of Wedding Sales, was my first contact at Mission Inn. She helped create a customize package that met my needs. She was so easy to talk to and made the booking process smooth! After saying “I Do” to Mission Inn, I was assigned my personal Catering Manager, Helen. Helen is the Director of Conference Services and was very helpful in the planning process. If I ever needed a second opinion she was a perfect person to ask. She worked with me on creating a custom menu for our wedding reception and was a huge asset on wedding day, by directing the vendors so I could enjoy being a bride all while knowing my wedding was being taken care of. She was also extremely detailed and quick to send me my event details once we finalized our options. Nelson, our Banquet Captain, took care of us all the way back at our menu tasting and throughout our wedding weekend. He took the time to get to know our families at our rehearsal dinner and took extra special care of us at each event. Always ready with a new glass of wine and making sure we had time to eat after mingling with our guests. Everyone needs a Nelson on their wedding day, he was the best! The food was phenomenal! We added on a Short Rib to our dual plated entrée and our guests couldn’t stop talking about it. Chef Krystal and her team absolutely nailed it! Tony was our Bartender for both our Rehearsal Dinner and Wedding. As soon as my husband and I entered the event space, he took care of us immediately. He tended to us diligently and was more than accommodating throughout the night. I had my wedding vision in my head for so long now and it honestly was better than I could have ever imagined. The Mission Inn Staff, from setup, banquets, the kitchen and conference services, all went above and beyond for our day. I truly feel like I received the best experience a bride could have ever asked for on her wedding day.

ould accommodate the day we wanted. They could, and not only that they had an all-inclusive package that allowed us to easily plan everything in less than 2 months! In just a short amount of time, the Mission Inn and the vendors that I chose through them put everything together seamlessly for me. I actually ended up liking the venue more than the original venue that I had to cancel. It is an absolutely gorgeous place to have a wedding (unfortunately for us it rained for our ceremony so we had to move inside), with three different locations to choose from. The rooms where we got ready were SPECTACULAR- especially for the men! The food and restaurant staff were incredible. The vendors were some of the best in the industry. Not only that, but they give the couple two free nights at the resort and a really sweet surprise in the room after the wedding (I don't want to give it away so I won't say!). Even though I was pretty down about the weather that night, I can honestly say that Mission Inn exceeded my expectations, and I was very happy that everything worked out the way it did so I could have my wedding there. Helen and Haley were awesome and so helpful. I kept changing details at the last minute, and Helen worked hard to accommodate everything. If you're looking for a venue in Central Florida I highly recommend the Mission Inn.

edding day. Thanks Mission Inn Alexandra Eppler

this venue as it is worth it.

d we had a lot!). We got married at Legends, and it was absolutely perfect.

dding day. Thank you Helen and Mission Inn for the wedding of our dreams!

and our story, showed us all around the property, and answered our endless list of questions. The venue is so beautiful and huge! They had lots of options for ceremony and reception spaces for all different guests counts. Plus it is a resort, so all of our out of town guests had a place to spend the weekend comfortably. We decided to sign a contract for April 4, 2020. We worked with Helen Ronchetti, our assigned catering manager at the Mission Inn over the next year. She was very accommodating and made everything very easy, even though we lived out of state! She even helped us schedule our menu tasting/planning meeting while we were visiting for the holidays. Just 3 weeks prior to our wedding, we had to reschedule due to COVID. Luckily, Jessica quickly helped us find a new date, October 17, 2020. She transferred everything exactly how it was to the new date, without any issues or complaints. We ended up having significantly less guests than we originally planned for but the Mission Inn was able to work with us so all of the money we paid wouldn't be wasted. The wedding weekend was absolutely flawless! We had our rehearsal dinner on Friday night at Legends. It was set up beautifully and executed smoothly by Nelson. He was so professional and friendly, we were glad to have him the next night at the reception! The food was delicious, the staff was amazing, and everyone had a great time! We continued the celebration at the La Margarita Lounge - our guests loved the outdoor patio area with fire pits. Our wedding day was spectacular. The entire day ran so smoothly and my husband and I didn't have to worry about a single thing. The ceremony was in Plaza de la Fontana and was the perfect backdrop. The cocktail hour was in Plaza de las Palmas, which basically looks like a garden and has market lighting strung throughout. We had our reception in the Grande Ballroom - which was decorated perfectly and looked so elegant. The staff was absolutely incredible. So many of our guests kept telling us how amazing the service was - all the servers, bartenders, and wedding team. They even made sure that my husband and I got to have some of our cocktail hour appetizers since we were away taking photos and that we always had cocktails. Our pictures turned out amazing - the property has so many wonderful and completely different places to take photos. It's definitely not your typical golf course/resort! Everything at the Mission Inn far exceeded our expectations - our wedding really was a dream come true!

Villages. I made a list of all of the venues in The Villages, Orlando, and other areas to visit and Mission Inn was added. I had always heard wonderful things about this location so I figured it could not hurt. We probably visited roughly 8 locations in The Villages before visiting Mission Inn. As soon as we entered the property we quickly realized how special it felt. You know the saying "When you know you know". Well after meeting Jess and visiting Legends it hit us! It was everything that we had imagined, and my parents could not agree more. That day I canceled all other venue visits I had scheduled. Jess was wonderful and answered all of my one million questions, you think I am exaggerating but I am not. I was as prepared as I could be because I was ready to make a decision that day and Jess graciously took her time answering every question in detail. She even had a welcome gift for me as a bride which was the first of any visit, it made me feel special right off the bat. Once we decided to book, unfortunately, that was what we thought would be the last of our interaction with Jess, but about a few months later we were elated to find out that she would be our catering manager! Then COVID hit, I can not even begin to describe the stress, but if you are reading this now you are also planning your wedding during a pandemic and understand. Jess was so wonderful. She helped relieve some of my stress and kept reminding me of how perfect the day will be despite it possibly looking a bit different than my original vision. She was a huge reason I didn't lose my mind during this pandemic. My husband is a chef so the food was extremely important to us. We had a specific vision of what we wanted our food to be, and they exceeded every expectation that we had. All of our guests have said it was the best wedding food they had ever had! Jess was with us through every step of the process and Chef Mark made sure our vision came to life! The day of the wedding was a dream! I know I keep saying it but Jess was amazing and made sure that we were stress-free on our day!  When you talk about someone going above and beyond, Jess and Bri take the cake! When my matron of honor was MIA to bustle my dress the team stepped up. My planner and Jess worked on bustling my dress, while Bri stood in front of me with a silver platter of appetizers to make sure I ate. I wish that photo was captured because it was a true behind the scenes moment. This is just a small example of how they made my husband and I feel like the most important people in the world. Every interaction I had with Mission Inn and their staff made me feel special. Above all else, they made sure we were safe and their staff made sure to work with extra precaution to keep our guests safe. Mission Inn is working extra hard to make sure they create wedding memories while following strict health guidelines. Not once did I feel unsafe or at risk during the entire weekend. If you are considering visiting DO IT! I guarantee you will not be disappointed with not only their professionalism but also with how you will feel after visiting Mission Inn Resort. My husband and I already have talked about visiting yearly, because they will forever be considered Family!

rom). She is fantastic and made the booking process seamless. After we booked, we then got to work with Helen to plan every detail of the special day. Helen is a gem. She is so personable and so comforting, that even when I felt stressed or worried, she was there to calm me down and assure me that everything would work out. She gave her input and expertise when warranted, and helped accommodate every weird and special request I asked for. Even during Covid, she was able to make our food tasting a fun experience. Helen made coordination the day of a breeze, so that I really didn't have to worry about anything. I knew I was in good hands. All of my guests raved about the food. I know sometimes tastings can be much better than day of, but my day of food was just as good, if not better. And it really does help when you can tell guests there are rooms to stay in that night so they can let loose at your wedding at not have to worry about driving home. Really, Mission Inn is just a top notch venue of the highest quality with the greatest staff I could have asked for.

My Future husband an I showed up without an appointment just to see this magnificent place. Here's the kicker (I am 70 and he is 77) this was not our first rodeo. Even though we wanted it to be special I just wasn't sure what I wanted. That all changed when we met Bri Mabais in Wedding sales. WOW this women really took care of us. Bri, was patient, understanding that we wanted something simple and elegant. With her guidance, an ability to listen an visualize our ideas with a few added an correct suggestions we knew we made the right choice. Bri stayed in contact with us or was reachable when I had a question. The day came. I can not believe how much time an effort Bri gave us. I was treated like it was a MIllion Dollar wedding for our very small wedding. The vendors she suggested were wonderful and she double checked everything. So if your looking you really need to take a look at Mission Inn for you wedding or any special day. I forgot to mention the Honeymoon Suite...just WOW! If you do I am sure you will be happy. Thank you Bri and Mission Inn for the fantastic experience. Patty and Paul D

y wedding in less than 4 months. Everything on the day off ran so smoothly I couldn’t believe it. Jessica was great in the planning process, making sure everything I wanted was available; from serving my favorite meal of tacos during the rehearsal dinner, to making sure every liquor I loved was available for the reception, to a printed photo of me and my husband from the wedding night in our room waiting for us with cake when we got back after the reception .....everything was perfect. I would do it all over again.
