The Highland Manor

There are not enough words to express how wonderful it was to work with the staff at Highland Manor to create our wedding vision. From day one, we knew Highland Manor was where we wanted to have our special day. Throughout the planning, the team was super responsive to all of our requests and questions. We were so blessed to have Kristen as our coordinator. She was genuinely excited for us. Her organization, thoughtfulness, suggestions, and willingness to accommodate our requests, made our experience stress-free. Our day was magical and flawless, despite being between two hurricanes, thanks to Kristen, Omar and Juan - our team. They were at our beck and call with graciousness. And, the food was so good! Our guests raved about it. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We highly recommend Highland Manor and its team of professionals. The BEST day ever!

The planning was very easy with this venue and it is tucked away in Apopka to create a beautiful spot. Everything went so smoothly. My day-of coordinator David was very organized and helpful! I highly recommend this venue.

Highland manor was such a beautiful and accommodating menu. Everyone on staff was so kind and helpful. The entire wedding went so smoothly. I couldn’t have asked for a better planning experience either!

My husband and I were having a tough time finding a wedding venue that really matched our vision, until we found The Highland Manor! The manor is beautiful, inside and out. The huge tree that you get married under is stunning. It is literally 20 feet from the Hilton Garden Inn Apopka City Center, which we found very convenient and safe for anyone having a few drinks to walk on over and spend the night. The Highland Manor is a well oiled machine, from your first tour until cleanup on the wedding night. And if you are doing their complimentary food tasting after booking with them, I cannot stress this enough, come HUNGRY because they give you SO much food to try. The person I want to highlight the most is Kristen, who was our day-of coordinator. From the moment Kristen was assigned to be our coordinator, she was absolutely amazing. She answered all of my detailed questions that I emailed, she corralled my wedding party like a champ during the rehearsal, and she made my life incredibly easy on the day of the wedding. She was super responsive anytime I texted her that the decorations or desserts or what-have-you were on their way, and she made my vision for the decorations come to life with basically no direction to go on because I failed to provide her pictures LOL. We can't thank Kristen enough. I also want to highlight Juan, who was our butler for the evening. Juan was absolutely perfect and so helpful. Before and after your ceremony, you are provided complimentary beverages by your assigned butler, and Juan made sure we were constantly taken care of! He also held my bouquet and train of my dress while I enjoyed a few moments of eating appetizers and having some sips of champagne in between all the pictures after the ceremony. As someone who stresses a lot and did not decide to have a wedding planner, I know we made the perfect choice with The Highland Manor for our ceremony and reception. They are the true professionals and made sure we had nothing to worry about from day one through even after the wedding day. One final thing - there is a peacock that roams the grounds named Frank (or Mark). You might just be lucky enough to see him on your big day!

Where do I begin?? The venue itself is beautiful and Dubs is a pro at weddings. I am so grateful this venue provided a wedding coordinator and it made the world's difference. I was in good hands from beginning to end. The planning process was organized, and easy, and our coordinator Kristen was great at giving input. The tasting, food, and drink were delicious! The entire day was so smooth thanks to Dubs and Highland Manor. I cannot say enough positive things!

We fell in love with the Highland Manor during our first visit. What stood out to us was the homely feel, the wood detailing, and the beautiful Christmas trees and decor. The staff was extremely professional and made our day run seamlessly. Kristen, our venue coordinator was very helpful and accommodating. The food is excellent! Our guests loved it. Best wedding venue in town!

The venue is breathtakingly beatiful. I had a classic, clean vision for my wedding, and the venue had all of the 18-19th century charm I adore. From older funiture and classice decorations, to wooden bars, this place is rustic and old world beautiful. I thought my dream of a classic wedding was impossible in FL, and then I found this place! Communication was unreal. Within an hour or two I could get all of my many questions answered. They were great at making changes where needed, and were a dream to work with. They have their own catering company, so there is one less vendor to find- Dubsdread Catering. When you book the venue, you are assigned a day of coordinator, which is built into the price. David was very knowledgable, and very easy going. He was fun to work with. Day of he knew exactly what I wanted, and didn’t bother me at all. He stayed on time day of, despite my family trying to make us late, and adapted the time-lime on the fly when we wanted to spend a few more minutes chatting with everyone. The venue and staff are friendly, hard working, and professional. They truly made our day beautiful! I will gladly use them for my celebration needs in the future.

My wedding went really well. We had some technical issues (our fault not the venue. They tried to help fix the issue.) Everything went off without a hitch the day of. Communication was easy. They respond to my emails in a timely manner. There was plenty of space to get ready if we were to have gotten ready at the venue. Plenty of space for our guests to hang out before the wedding. Very beautiful property and wonderful staff. They have options to get married outside or inside. We chose outside. The outside spot has a big tree the couple can get married under. Inside is a big ball room. We were able to sneak inside and see the reception hall before the guest got to see it. This made for such a magical moment.

Listen… if you don’t get married here, you’re doing yourself a disservice. The Highland Manor staff was AMAZING to work with! My fiancée and I had THE PERFECT wedding. Kristen and Jose were the most phenomenal human beings to ever exist - they did a beautiful job at coordinating and making sure my husband and I were provided for. We didn’t lift a finger or worry about a single thing! I CANNOT recommend this venue enough. The Hilton being built directly onsite is perfect for family that is commuting. The food is amazing! The photos are gorgeous! I wish I could live this day over and over again. PLEASE book here you won’t regret it!

I cannot say enough great things about The Highland Manor. The venue itself is absolutely stunning from the large oak tree for the ceremony, to the porch for beautiful pictures, to the entryway for a bubble filled send off, to the beautiful cocktail hour area and bar, to the stunning and large bridal suite, and the spacious reception area with a neat bar. But the beauty of the venue is only a small part of why we were so thrilled with The Highland Manor. From the beginning we were assigned a coordinator, David, who was organized, friendly, responsive, and made our day completely stress free and easy. The day of, we had a wonderful butler, Juan, who made sure we had food, drinks, and anything else we needed. Their food is also absolutely delicious. Many of our guests said it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. We are so pleased with our decision to have our wedding at the Highland Manor.

We absolutely loved this venue! Michelle, our day of coordinator, ensured everything flowed seamlessly, both in the preparation stages, and on the day of our wedding. Our ceremony under the giant tree was beautiful, and the space inside for the cocktail hour and reception were gorgeous. We really appreciated that the venue/Michelle worked with us on each step of the way to ensure that the final touches matched our vision entirely. Michelle ensured that everything went smoothly with our vendors -- I felt like I didn't need to check on anything at all the day of! -- and was present during the reception ensuring that all of our guests with dietary restrictions were getting their correct meals, directing the flow of everything in a discreet manner. We had the best day!!

Highland Manor on and leading up to our wedding day was extremely professional, over the top, friendly and accommodating.We had around 120 people attend our wedding. From the day we first toured this venue to the day of our wedding everything we hoped for was executed in a way that shows the level of talent and experience that Bonny and Juan have. Bonny made it her mission to give us a wedding we would never forgot. The attention to detail and her overall leadership made us know we were in great hands. Juan was there for us every step of the way and we can't thank him enough for making sure we had everything we needed throughout the day/night. They are truly an incredible crew. Of course we can't forget to mention the culinary team! They knocked it out of the park with the food cooked that night. Our friends still talk about how great their meal was and how it was "the best steak dinner they have ever experienced." The venue was stunning. The staff was family for the night. We couldn't have asked for anything more.

I highly recommend this venue! We got married in November and had the greatest experience with the venue and coordinator, Michelle. The venue has really great and affordable packages for food and alcohol and the food was AMAZING! From start to finish our coordinator was helpful, responsive and constantly provided support for any questions or concerns I had. The day of the wedding everything was so well organized. The venue provides you with a butler, ours was Juan, and he was the most attentive, kind and helpful person. He made sure the whole wedding party was always taken care of and I have to say their attention to detail and support was beyond impressive. If I could do it all over again I would book this venue/Dubsdread every time. They made every part of the process easy and we had an amazing time because of their staff.

The Highland Manor was an absolute dream as far as wedding venues go. The staff was amazing!! The food was amazing! Most of all our coordinator Bonny was the best. She was organized and had everything planned out to a tee. Which is the way I like it lol. I would definitely hold another event at this location.

This venue is so beautiful that we knew almost as soon as we got there it was the one. We had both our ceremony and reception at Highland Manor and everything went so smoothly. We liked that they handled the catering because it was one less vendor to find and the food was amazing. Any time we had a question we'd always get a quick reply from someone on the staff and Ari our coordinator did a great job. We had such an amazing wedding day and are so happy we chose this venue.

If I could give 6 Stars I would! The Highland Manor was an excellent venue run by an extremely knowledgeable staff. Our day of coordinator, David, did a fantastic job keeping everything organized and running smoothly especially when one of our younger more excitable guests decided to pull the fire alarm. We ended up getting a great photo with the firetruck. Regardless I could not speak more highly of him. Our butler, Juan, was very attentive and kept the bridal party cups full and food plentiful. Many of our friends we spoke too always told us they were not able to fully enjoy the food at their wedding, but that was not the case for us. Both David and Juan kept guard to allow us time to eat and enjoy a little down time before the reception really kicked off. David and Juan did a fantastic job, but the food! The food was incredible. Dubsdread really has a great cooking and waiting staff. Deciding the menu was easy with the tasting offered prior to our wedding day. The Chef was very accommodating when we asked for them to prepare a special cultural dish. Overall we had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend The Highland Manor for anyone to celebrate their special day. We hope in the future we can come back as guest to enjoy this place again.

I cannot recommend using one of their facilities enough. We had Bonnie as our coordinator and she can walk the walk and talk the talk. She helped make sure my celiac issue was a priority along with the other diet restrictions we had. It was such a smooth process picking them. They are the caterers as well as the facility so everything including alcohol and drinks is in your package. No searching and taste testing a dozen different food vendors! Also, the facility was A+++ beautiful.

This venue was amazing! From the food to the service everything was amazing! My wedding day was perfect because we chose this as the venue. David was so great to work with as a day of coordinator and Bob was our butler for the day and made sure our drinks never ran dry! Truly a great team and great location!

We had a wonderful experience with our wedding at Highland Manor! The venue is very beautiful and full of vintage, antique details perfect for someone who wants something unique but won't break the bank. The bridal suite rooms are a huge plus - we had to do a lot of our photos indoors due to rain, and they turned out beautiful with the various rooms throughout the venue. Our coordinator David was a super hero, ensuring everything went off without a hitch, including switching over our florals from the ceremony to reception. It was terrible weather all afternoon, but David found the one 20-minute window where the skies cleared so we could have our ceremony outdoors as planned and we will forever be grateful to the whole team's commitment to making our ceremony happen under the oak tree as we had envisioned. The service is excellent, and whatever you do...get the spinach and artichoke mushrooms!

BOOK THIS VENUE! It is so much more gorgeous in person than in the photos. This was the first venue we saw and we compared all others to this one and could not get it off our minds. We are so glad we did because everything was amazing. We decided to do the ceremony and reception indoors (it was July so that was a no-brainer) and everyone did an amazing job transforming the ballroom. Shanna was our DOC and she did such an amazing job! She is very knowledgeable and listened to everything we wanted. Bob was the best ever!! He made sure we were taken care of and had enough to eat and drink. Highly recommend this venue!

We had an amazing wedding at the Highland Manor! The Highland Manor is located in Apopka and features a beautiful Oak Tree for the ceremony and a beautiful building & ballroom for the reception. Highland Manor has a brand new Hilton Garden Inn next door which makes it easy for guests to stay in one location for the weekend. David did a great job as our coordinator and made sure we were happy every step of the way. David took the time to sit down with us, answering questions, and making sure our day was special. Highland Manor also provides a butler for the couple and they did a fantastic job of making sure we were fed and had a drink in our hands at all times. The staff at Dubsdread Catering were very responsive and helpful when we had questions. Overall we would recommend Highland Manor but will warn that prices may change without notice (even after you sign paperwork). Additionally they changed their policy last minute and started charging a credit card fee which was not part of the original contract.

The Highland Manor is such a beautiful and well organized location! David, our coordinator, was pure perfection and made the day go so smoothly! The venue features a beautiful Oak Tree for your ceremony and a wonderful space for your reception inside featuring wooden bars and gorgeous chandeliers! My guests were in love with the space!

My husband and I just got married here this past Friday and we truly believe we picked the best venue. The entire planning process with the team has been so helpful. They are in contact with you with any questions you may have, all the time. The service was immaculate. My guests kept telling us that our venue was so so beautiful and got many compliments on our wedding Our coordinator Bonny was the real MVP. She was there from start to finish the entire wedding day. We can't thank her enough! 10/10 recommend this venue!!

Highland Manor was such a good choice for our wedding for many reasons. The ceremony oak was undeniably breath-taking. The service from both the staff and day-of-coordinator was quick, efficient, and helpful. David, our coordinator, was quick to respond to the many email questions I sent before the big day. You can trust them because they know how to plan a wedding! The only inconvenience was that since they do have multiple events the same day, we were only allowed on site 2 hours before the ceremony started. So as a bride, this was not nearly enough time to get ready in or even enjoy the bridal suite before having to take pictures. I ended up having to pay for a couple nights for the hotel suite next door so I and my bridal party could have a place for hair and makeup to set up the morning of the wedding. Having the hotel next door, however, was a huge perk for us and our guests loved it. The bridal butler (also named David) was very attentive (we were told it never happens, but we actually got to eat at our wedding!!!). The food was fantastic! Several of our guests are in the culinary world and they were a bit annoyed that the venue's food was better than their own cooking, which is a HUGE compliment coming from them.

This was my dream wedding venue. It was gorgeous and the staff was 100% on point. I had nothing to worry about day-of because everything was already completed and if I needed anything at all it was brought to me immediately. The food was also fantastic. If I had to do it all over again I would choose this venue in an instant.

What an unbelievably stunning venue for a wedding. The Manor was everything we dreamed of and more. From getting ready and spending time in the bridal suite (also a super fun groom’s room for the guys), to saying vows under the oak, to dancing the night away in the ballroom, complete with breathtaking crystal chandeliers…it was just a dream come true. The catering team did a wonderful job with our food, and everything just went very smoothly. Minor hiccups were handled promptly and overall our day was just perfect. Thanks to Michelle, Juan, and the entire team.

Highland Manor was such a dream wedding venue!! From the moment we left our venue tour here, my husband and I knew that this was the one and the perfect place for us to get married. The newly built Hilton hotel right next to the venue really sealed the deal too! The whole venue is gorgeous inside and out, I especially loved the bridal suite room and the pool table for the groomsmen. And that ceremony oak tree is so pretty!! My guests were raving about how much they loved the venue and how unique it was, which made me so happy. They also raved about the quality of the food, it was soo good! I loved that the catering was built in to the venue cost, so that we didn't have to hire an outside food vendor. Our personal server on the wedding day, Juan, was incredible- always right there for anything we needed and ready to offer food and drinks, which was great because it's so easy to forget to eat on your wedding! Bonny and her whole team really did such an incredible job helping our wedding vision come to life. Can't reccomend Highland Manor enough! :)

What a perfect venue! So beautiful!!! Our day could not have gone any better! A huge thank you to Bonny and the entire team! Our Butler I believe his name was Juan? Was amazing! Food and drinks were perfect! No complaints about anything, perfect place for our wedding!

Highland Manor was the most perfect place to get married! The entire staff was amazing! I didn't have to worry about a single thing the day of my wedding. They were complete professionals! I worked with Bonny and she kept everything running smoothly. I was out of state while planning and they worked with me to show me the property, plan the details of my wedding, and schedule the tasting to when I was in town. 100% would recommend this venue!

I knew a few people that worked with Dubdread - my now husband, saw Highland Manor and immediately knew that was where we were getting married. I had been a bridesmaid in a wedding there so I knew it was beautiful. After meeting with the venue and talking with Michelle - we already knew this was a fit for us. The venue has a lot included and is very professional. We were lucky to get Bonny as our coordinator for the event - and she took all my words and ideas coupled with the different boxes of decorations/pictures and it was all perfect and breathtaking. She had my vision down to a T. As our tasting we met Juan, he and my now husband hit it off as if old friends, he was with us on our day and he made us feel well taken care of. The whole staff there are knowledgeable about the planning so you feel everyone is ready to help. This is a definite win. We had nothing to worry about and enjoyed our day.

My wife fell in love with this venue very early on and our wedding planning process, and I have to say that we could not have been more happy with how our wedding day turned out after working with their team. Bonny made planning all of the details seamless, and combined with the delicious food prepared by their catering team, it made for an absolutely amazing day that we will never forget. Thank you!

Beautiful location, delicious food, and perfect execution. A bride couldn't ask for more on her wedding day! My now husband is from Apopka and always wanted to get married at this venue. They made the entire process seemless. The in-house catering and coordination is perfect, and their list of preferred vendors is spot on. We were able to find the best cake baker, DJ, and beauty in the area through them. If I were to do it all over again, I would happily still choose Highland Manor and Dubsdread Catering!

Where can I start? The venue may not look like much on photos, but let me tell you once you walk in and see that amazing tree by the lake and the ballroom, you just fall in love. In all honesty I had looked at this place a while before I actually scheduled a tour, and to be honest it was not on my top 5, but when we got there and saw it with our own eyes, we both knew this was the place. The venue is spectacular, the staff is amazing! Please please ask for JUAN, he will make your night an even better one, He was there for us at every second, he helped with my dress, veil and we never had an empty glass. Brian is an amazing and fun bartender too, and I am sure your guest will love him just as much as you will. David was our coordinator, he was the perfect wedding planner. He was knowledgeable, responsive, organized and he just knew how to make our vision come to life. Go by the venue, trust me you will not regret it.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! This venue is so absolutely beautiful and the staff is so helpful and attentive. They are dedicated to helping your day run smoothly and making sure that you have the wedding of your dreams! Bonny, our coordinator was so helpful and made us feel at ease every step of the way. Seeing the way they made the vision of our day come to life brought me to tears! We are so happy we made the choice to have our wedding here and would not have changed a thing!

Highland Manor was the perfect wedding location. Bonny and the Highland Manor team gave us our dream wedding. The location was gorgeous, the food was delicious, and the staff was amazing. The only thing I would suggest is more "crowd control". When we did our first look guests were wondering around the house and instead of it being a private moment we had an audience. Other than that things were perfect. We would recommend Highland Manor without doubt.

We had such a beautiful wedding and reception. As soon as we saw the Highland Manor venue, we knew it was the one! My dream was always to get married a large oak tree. Although it began raining right when our ceremony was to begin and we had to do our ceremony inside, it was still perfect. The vintage look was awesome! FYI, they have sales frequently so take a look at their Instagram page if you are booking in advance and wait for 50% off booking or other discounts!

This venue is AMAZING. We knew from the moment we toured here that it was the venue for us. Everything throughout the entire planning process was a breeze. Wedding planning can be so challenging but the team at Highland Manor make it easy. They communicate with you every step of the way, taking care of everything. We trusted them 100% the day of and they didn't disappoint. They took SUCH amazing care of us that our wedding day went smooth without a single road block. (and even if there was...we didn't know and it was handled!) Cannot recommend a better venue! Plus, if you have guests from out of town, the hotel being steps away is IDEAL!

This Venue is GORGEOUS! It has the best food in town, the most beautiful setting, with a team that caters to you, and makes you feel like royalty! From your wedding coordinator, a butler, a chef, a team of servers, and bartenders to make your day, they ensure it is spectacular, whether a small event or large wedding, it will be absolutely perfect! Let me share a bit about my wedding coordinator, they provided us. On May 17, 2021, Bonny made every detail of the wedding at Highland Manor in Apopka perfect, for my daughter! Since I was putting together a surprise wedding of sorts for my daughter who lives out of state, Bonny was there each step of the way... I had so many questions, and emailed her day and night. Bonny was patient with me, answering and providing great advice. At the food tasting, we met Bonny in person. She was full of energy, and delightful! She made some great suggestions for the food. She helped with the contract a few times as I made changes, and she was happy to accommodate my requests. Bonny ensured all our needs were met, and every time we changed the menu she was patient and accommodating. Bonny helped us with all the vendors, and I chose the best DJ ever at her recommendation. The wedding day was absolutely perfect. Bonny made the wedding party, and guests, feel so special! If we needed anything at all, Bonny was there making it all come together! She helped me with every detail down to the seating, number of tables for the reception room, colors to choose for the table cloths, and she took down the names of the wedding party and the order of entrance for the ceremony and how the bride & groom would make the grand ballroom entrance, and made certain it all went exactly as planned! I brought many decorative items in for set-up, the day before the wedding. Bonny took the items, and placed them absolutely perfectly in the venue, just as we wanted. What an amazing decorator she is too! When it came time to see the reception room prior to guests going in, it was the most amazing WOW moment ever! Bonny ensured the lighting, cake set-up, tables, flowers, and linens were placed absolutely perfectly! She even insisted the DJ up light with pin lights, so the cake was glowing, when I had not asked for that. But Bonny knew this was needed. This made all the difference in the world. The cake table looked magical! Bonny ensured the timing of the ceremony, to the guests making their way to the ballroom for dinner, to the grand finale of sparklers was timed exactly as needed, to ensure the DJ, and photographers were at the right spot at the right time. At the end of the night, all the items we brought and flowers from the wedding were sent up to my hotel room. Bonny and crew from Highland Manor helped us to pack up all the hair, make-up and clothing from the area the bride and girls were dressing, so this was just fantastic! Bonny made the entire day so wonderfully easy, that I am still talking about it, a month later! I highly recommend Highland Manor as your venue. No matter how small or large your wedding is, Highland Manor is the place to have your special event. I promise it will be magical! On a last note, I want to thank Michelle, another coordinator at Highland Manor who helped out too, and all those folks behind the scenes whose names I do not know, that handle the cooking, cleaning, and making this venue just beautiful for each event.

AMAZING VENUE!! You do not realize how much you deserve to be pampered as the couple but they definitely take care of that. Juan followed us everywhere we went with snacks and beverages and we never went thirsty. Bonny was amazing at making our decor look amazing and bringing it all to life. She was great had handling all the stress I had and how nit picky I was. She handled my family and bridal party well and was always there when we needed her. Also the food that Dubsdread Catering provided was better than most restaurants I’ve been to. The portions were amazing and they were able to add on amazing options for my bridal party at the last minute. I have no regrets choosing this venue for my special day!

Don't look any further, this is the venue for you! We reviewed many other venues before choosing The Highland Manor. I loved the house, the wooden stairs, old school home feel and its beautiful bar structure. The story behind the house was very interesting being it was so old . The history was all there and we loved it all! The Oak Tree outside took our breath away. I knew we had to get married here! Michelle was so kind in allowing us to visit several times to show it off to our wedding party. We loved the building, location and the hotel next door made it a plus! Simply beautiful dream wedding we had! We are in love with our wedding day, and lets talk about the food. My wedding was a hit with the food. There caterer was amazing. They catered to us and our spanish style needs. There food was delicious and our guest still talk about it! Bonny was simply an amazing person to have as a coordinator, she really knows her stuff! Having our wedding postponed due to Covid-19, she didn't make us feel bad but rather understood and had us rebook our wedding with no issues. We have been working with her for 3 years, if you count how long we been planning this wedding. Bonny is very personable , caring and patient. She responses fairly quickly and is very reasonable. She was amazing with our large wedding party, getting everyone where they needed to be on time. She had things lined out , prepared and held us accountable for items that I wanted displayed. She was a blessing to have as a coordinator! If your looking for skilled and patient, don't look any further. I highly recommend Highland Manor and its entire staff for your future dream wedding.

Once we saw The Highland Manor there was no need to look anywhere else. It’s embodied the rustic and elegant feel we both wanted to an unparalleled compromise for the both of us. It is such a beautiful venue. From the beginning of planning, the entire staff was extremely helpful and patient with me and some of my last minute additions and changes, thank you all for that. Bonny and her crew did a phenomenal job. I didn’t have to worry about any little thing, she had it handled. From the rehearsal to the morning after breakfast, it was all perfect. On our wedding day we had a butler who they said would take care of us. That was the biggest understatement I have ever heard. Jose, you are absolutely WONDERFUL!!!! Not only did Jose make sure we ate, drank and had fun, he was two steps ahead of us and one step behind the entire night. He knew what we needed before we even knew we did. He truly made our wedding magical. The entire team did, thank you all. If I could do it all over, I would not change a thing.
