The Capen House at the Polasek

g just right the day of. The venue itself is gorgeous...from the gardens outside with the lake as a backdrop to the interior of the house with its beautiful hardwood floors. My guests are still commenting on how lovely the venue was.

touring, like I said totally fine! We show up at our appointment time and stand outside for 20 minutes past our appointment time, another couple arrived at the same time as us and was standing outside with us, after 20-25 minutes the girl doing the tour came out and apologized saying her tour before us ran over, then she asked names and realized it was our appointment time that got ran into and the other couple was supposed to be after us and showed up 30 minutes early to their appointment, then in front of this other couple asks me if they can “join our tour” and make it a double tour… this rubbed me the wrong way after we were told we could not arrive early because someone else was touring but this other couple could. It was a very awkward tour. In my opinion if they can’t even have viewing tours run smooth what are the chances they can have your wedding run smooth, also it’s so much cheaper than other venues because literally nothing is included (no chairs, lights, tables, etc) and after the tour nobody reached out, nobody said anything. Out of all the venues we toured this had to be the worse one with professionalism.

tiful, and their preferred vendors are also phenomenal. If I could relive my wedding every day, I would!

work with on the day of. This venue has everything we wanted, an open feeling for our guests, beautiful grounds to explore, intimate dancing and the perfect lake view during dinner. You truly cannot find a better venue in Orlando for your big day.

Love love this venue and highly recommended

artners when I needed help. She is also incredibly knowledgeable! What I like about Capen is that you can lay out your ceremony and reception areas pretty much however you like and use your own/your team’s creativity! The only thing we had to be mindful of was the sound ordinance outside and getting our guests off premise by 9pm. So be mindful for your wedding start time so that you have plenty of time to celebrate! Thank you again Capen for a beautiful setting to a perfect day.

at at answering questions and being there for you leading up to and on your big day. The venue is gorgeous with so many options for reception, cocktail hour, ceremony, etc. It fit our needs perfectly!

on point from start to finish which is a big thing for me! Plus, all of their preferred vendors wonderful to work with as well.

. We couldn’t be happier that we chose to say “I do” at Capen House.

ctures and I get excited all over again. Capen House family thank you for everything!

onding to emails, providing necessary resources for us to plan our big day, and helping out as much as they could. To anyone even considering this as an option, I recommend it 10/10!

oable and is SO worth it! Our photographers kept commenting that every inch of this property made for a beautiful shot - it’s gorgeous here! The location also can’t be beat - our guests loved spending the weekend in winter park, and we were able to book a trolley for a short ride to our after party on park Avenue. The required vendors for catering and rentals are lovely options and we had no issues working within this parameters. All in all, would highly recommend this venue!

ebrating our wedding there. Kim was flexible and offered help to us with each of our vendors. The only note to be aware of is that you can only use acoustic music (no speakers) outdoors- this worked perfectly for us and wasn't an issue whatsoever. Thank you to Kim and her team!

at indoor and outdoor options) was having the Scenic Boat Tour that could pick guests up from the dock and show off historic Winter Park! The staff was so sweet and helpful and worked with us on everything we needed. We also love that the funds go towards maintaining this beautiful, historic Florida house. Such a unique and fun venue!

ut answering any of my questions and making sure everything went off without a hitch! We wanted to have our ceremony outside and the staff were very flexible with my last minute changes. The pictures turned out beautifully! The Capen house has a bridal sweet and an area where the groom and groomsmen can hang out with plenty of bathrooms. They also have a kitchen with a fridge to put water, soda, and champagne in. The venue does have a required vendor list for rented items, which didn't bother us since we were only having the ceremony there and we just needed chairs and a tent. Overall, I would highly recommend The Capen House at a spectacular venue for your future ceremony!

grounds are beautiful with all the sculptures to look at and overlooking the lake. The Capen House is gorgeous! The history behind the home, and the grounds of the museum, is what sold us on this venue. Denise, who coordinated and worked my wedding, was just absolutely amazing. She not only worked with the DJ to make sure everything was on time but she also made sure I was okay at all time. She was such a joy to talk to and made me feel so secure about my wedding. When it was my turn to walk down the aisle, I started to cry and get nervous. She gave me the words I needed to hear and the courage to get down to the alter. I would consider her an angel and the perfect person to work my wedding. My wedding was more than I could have ever expected because of this venue and my guests were in awe. Highly recommend this venue for wedding and corporate events.

We booked a tent to go over the brick patio so that our guests could be in the shade and as a back-up plan in case of rain. We couldn't have been more pleased with our choice of venue! The setting is absolutely gorgeous, the garden was in full bloom and it felt a world away from everything around it. The Capen House is a beautifully restored historic home - it was so elegant and comfortable. There is a parlour with attached bathroom in the house that was the perfect place for my bridesmaids and me to get ready beforehand. Kim, the event planner, was very kind and easy to work with and the Polasek's day-of coordinator and staff were so incredibly helpful and cheery. All of our guests are still talking about how beautiful the setting was!

thank you the museum gave my husband and me a one year membership to return as often as we would like. Note: The museum doesn't have a place for the bride to get ready on site. We hired a limo for transportation and to have an air conditioned place for the ladies to relax in before the ceremony. Also, they have a strict list of vendors to choose from. I suggest Levan's Catering from the list for your catering and rental needs.

because of the insurance involved with working around their art. The event manager changed three times since I put my deposit down. I felt like they had strict rules but no one knew what they were and essentially let us break them. I was not crazy about their service. Their ever person, Kim, was supposed to be there the day of the wedding but she wasn't. She sent her friend in here place. There isn't much of a staging area for the bride. They told me I could just wait by the bathrooms. Luckily one of the volunteers went to high school with a bridesmaid and let us sit in the chapel but reminded us that he would probably get in trouble for it a few times. Overall I was not satisfied with the service but loved the location.

impressed.
