We highly recommend Tavares Pavilion on the Lake!

We had 60 guests and with social distancing we felt very comfortable in the space, people weren’t having to climb over each other to do anything and the room had a lovely flow. I will say if you are looking for a huge dance floor this space may...
be a little tight or you may want to opt to have dancing downstairs. Pictures do not do justice to this space! There is a warmth that is lost (but that may be the staff!) and it has a wonderful atmosphere without any excess decorations , but let any additional decorations shine. The bridal suite and grooms area were perfect, enough space to get dressed and relax. The pier is beautiful and the Stereo system in the space provides great ambiance. The team at the pavilion was warm, thoughtful and helpful as we navigated through a pandemic delay to our original date. The concern that they shared was genuine and made us feel like our day was special to them as well. This was the first and only venue that we looked at because it is perfect in every way! The surrounding area has a nice restaurant selection so if you are up there for your weekend you won’t be stuck without food! It has a decent nightlife in the surrounding area, but the pavilion is a stand-alone in terms of the peace and elegance.

ons, and thought of things we hadn’t even thought of. Amy was fantastic with working out all of our payments and didn’t put any pressure or rush us into anything. Since the town is small, it does have a sound ordinance, so if you want to party all night long, there’s bars you can head to after to continue the party, which is what we did! The town is so cute, everyone is so kind, and we looked at a lot of places, but knew automatically that this was the one.

Incredible. "So totally you guys." Just a few comments I heard from our guests (regarding the venue specifically) after the wedding! The whole experience was amazing, but the location is the foundation of the event - and this one knocked it out of the park! And if anyone is hesitant due to the distance from Orlando, it's worth it. No one had any complaints, and the experience they helped to provide us at the pavilion far outweighed any distance to drive.

I were married on September 21st, and every single part of our day was perfect thanks to the beautiful Pavilion and the amazing people who work there! Amy was our main point of contact, from our very first email inquiry to last minute emails on the morning of the wedding when I needed to request an extra chair at one our dinner tables. Throughout the entire planning process, Amy was simply incredible!!! She was very quick to respond to our emails, was super friendly and sweet, had great suggestions on how to plan out the flow of our day, and never made me feel silly for asking lots of questions. Carrie also helped me several times and was lovely. We also LOVED Michael! I didn't meet him until our rehearsal, and I wish I would've met him sooner! He was calm and reassuring and pleasant - definitely great for stressed out brides. He even greeted me on wedding day at the end of the pier with an umbrella for shade since it was so hot and escorted me to the door. The Pavilion itself is so gorgeous - we love the ambiance and the antiques and the existing decor. We had a "Florida" vibe to our wedding and we used a lot of citrus and greenery and we didn't need to add a lot of extra floral or props due to the elegance of the venue itself. Our Guests were mostly from New England and the Midwest and were extremely impressed - they could not get ENOUGH of the Pavilion and are still raving to us about how beautiful it was! Friends of ours who got married at other venues in Central Florida mentioned that they wish they would have known about the Pavilion so they could have gotten married there instead! Planning our wedding here was stress free, straightforward, and easy. I wish we could rate more than 5 stars. Simply amazing.

The venue is city-owned and therefore has some strict rules (no sparklers on the pier, caterer must be chosen from the Pavillion-approved list, etc.), however this did not impact my planning negatively, it simply changed a few of our choices for the big day. I truly believe there is not a better venue in the area for this price-range! Simply the best.

They truly care that your event goes off without a hitch, and did an incredible job working with all our vendors too. This place is also one of the most beautiful venues I've seen and needs so little in terms of decoration. Simply the existing decor with the addition of our flower arrangements was all we needed, the venue has so much natural beauty that it doesn't take much to make everything insanely gorgeous. If you're looking for an incredible venue with even better staff, the Tavares Pavilion on the Lake will not disappoint!

I would say, parking had me stressed a bit, since there was no parking lot right outside, however, the hotels are literally right down the road (just a short walk away) and not one my guests complained! Everything went great and I appreciate Amy and all of the staff doing everything to make sure I had a great event.

We were never made to feel as though our needs were anything less than priority, and every detail was met with action - as an example, when we noted the litter at the base of the pier during a pre-walk (from the park nearby), the team went above and beyond to make sure it was removed, which not only impressed me, but improved the environment on Lake Dora!

However, the Pavilion staff were AMAZING at getting a small caravan of cars together, finding them parking near by, and shuttling them back. I really liked that touch. This venue really is amazing, but I found the communication very frustrating. I had to go back and forth on the phone for a week or so to have them take our money for the deposit. There was always a lot of back and forth to get site visits arranged. Our final walk-through, the representative didn't even show up until after we had gone through the venue ourselves - 50 minutes after the start time. I mention this because it was our reality - and sometimes the frustration - of booking this venue. No one was unkind, rude, or unprofessional... just sometimes delayed (possibly too busy?) to respond in a timely manner. Business here is booming these days! That being said, everything was PERFECT the day of our event, and perhaps the strain in communication was just part of the process.I would highly recommend others to check it out as an option, just know that my experience with the organization could have been better.
