We had an amazing experiencing planning our wedding at The Manor! They have the planning timeline down to a science, and their forms, planning sessions, and messaging website made getting our dream wedding a piece of cake. The all inclusiveness of the venue took the pressure off of us to find the perfect team since The Manor already has the perfect team in Julie, Gwen, and all of the other team members! Their recommendations for any vendors not included were spot on. The whole planning process and Julie's expertise made it so we had no worries and could just appreciate the beautiful venue and enjoy our wedding day!

We couldn’t have asked for a better all-inclusive yet affordable and flexible wedding venue! Our wedding planner, Julie, worked with us to make our visions a reality while we were planning the wedding from out of state. On the day of, the decorations were exactly as we wanted them, the service was impeccable, and we truly got to enjoy our wedding day! It seems like everything was thought of in advance. 10/10.

We had a great wedding experience with The Manor on Lake Juliana. Their zoom sessions, wedding planning form, and message center made it very simple for us to plan the wedding from out of state. Julie and the other team members communicated often as needed and helped us through the whole process. The venue was excellently prepared on the day of our wedding. We were so impressed with how well the manor team worked with our photographers and videographers. If I had to sum up my experience in two words it would be impressed and thankful. We were so impressed by how well the manor on lake Juliana team worked to make our day go well and we were so thankful for the work they did. If I could give them more than five stars, I would. I recommend them to anyone needing a wedding venue.

This beautiful place is now known as The Manor on Lake Juliana, and it is truly the most magical place. When they say "all inclusive" they really do mean it-the team at the Manor helped us so much just by taking care of so many things for us, we had less things to manage and therefore really got to enjoy our planning experience and our wedding day. This venue provides not only a stunning backdrop to your wedding day, with getting ready rooms on site for both bride and groom, but also provides the food, cake, bar, DJ, day of coordinator and planner, your table linens and centerpieces and more! Even their recommended vendor list was incredible-both our photographer and videographer came from those lists and we had the BEST experience with both of them. This is truly one of the best deals in all of central FL for couples looking for an intimate, garden and lake view venue. We cannot say enough about the team at The Manor, everyone from Julie and Gwen, to the wait staff and bartenders, multiple family members and friends told us after how wonderful and attentive everyone on site was. They are superheroes over there, we cannot thank them enough for creating an amazing, memorable day for all of us!

I could not have dreamed of a more perfect venue. From the helpful staff, to the amazing food, to the the most beautiful grounds- our special day couldn't have turned out more perfect. The planning process was a breeze with the help of Nandy and Gwen, and the day of was stress-free thanks to Christine. My husband and I could not be more thankful to these amazing people. 1000% recommend.

Town Manor is a beautiful venue by the lake. I had a small wedding about 50 people, and it was perfect. Gwen and Christine were the best! The details made everything. If you want a generic wedding, you may want to move on. My wedding was personalized and reflected us as a couple.
The food was amazing! I have to say I did not go hungry at my wedding. Not only did we get a private set up of appetizers and drinks before the pictures, but we also got a private meal after the wedding incase we didn’t get a chance to eat during the reception. Our drinks were never empty. The staff are amazing and never left us wondering how to get more of something.
We did not have a traditional cake and the pastry chef on site was willing to work with our vision and it turned out amazing. I was hoping I wouldn’t have to go the traditional route and I she worked with our flavors and even created a unique display of our desserts!
The only thing I wish I had was more time, everything was perfect and flowed. Christine the day of coordinator was calm and positive throughout the day. If something went wrong or out of order, I had no idea!
I cannot thank them enough for making my day one of the best and most romantic days!
If you are looking for an all inclusive venue this is your place! We didn’t have to stress over anything until a few months before when everything was coming together and even then we had Gwen and Christine answering all our questions and guiding us every step of the way!

Town Manor was a dream come true! From day one we knew it would be amazing but honestly amazing is an understatement! Our wedding here on March 6th was absolutely incredible and breathe taking! The whole manor staff was amazing. Nandy started with us and then Gwen took over planning with us. I can not say enough nice things about them but the real MVP was Christine, she was our DOC and absolutely AMAZING! She made sure we had everything ready and got us whatever we needed. She kept us on track and told us where we needed to be. Her assistant Paula was so nice and helpful as well! The DJ Ray is the sweetest person and played my favorite songs on the dance floor! I can not say enough nice things. We enjoyed our day and have not stopped hearing from our guests how beautiful and amazing everything was. Our guest rave about the food, cake and venue. I honestly am so glad we chose Town Manor for our wedding! Maybe one day we will renew our vows there as well.

Town Manor on the Lake is seriously a hidden gem. My husband and I chose this venue not only for the absolutely STUNNING scenery, but we loved that it was all inclusive! We loved that everything was all in one: The venue for the ceremony and reception, the pastor to officiate the ceremony, chef, cake, DJ, linens, center pieces, and most of all, a WEDDING COORDINATOR!!!! Gwen made the wedding planning SO easy. She is absolutely AMAZING and made our wedding day go flawless and kept us right on track. I promise you, it is DEFINITELY worth the money because they literally take care of everything for you! You tell them what you want and they make it happen. Our experience was better than we could have ever imagined and our guests were blown away and couldn't stop saying how beautiful our day was. If you are looking for a beautiful, elegant, and stress free wedding, Town Manor is your place! They will not disappoint.

Nandy, Gwen and the Town Manor crew aka the Dream team were amazing! They helped us through so much especially during the stressful planning and dealing our crazy families. The venue was beautiful and the decor was lovely! The food was delicioussss even though we didn’t have much time to eat they packed us to go boxes for us to eat after which was super sweet of them! Our cake was also beautiful and so tasty, we got the Italian wedding cake and the red velvet and they were both so good that everybody got seconds and ate all of our cake. However Town Manor and the dream team gave us an extra top layer just for us so we can actually enjoy it for ourselves! The ceremony was wonderful and the manor magic they talk about is true. Definitely would recommend!

We just got married at this all-inclusive lakeside wedding venue and I can’t recommend it enough. Every aspect of this place was simply beautiful. We fell in love with it at first sight. Our wedding coordinator, Nandy, was amazing and so helpful the entire way through. All our expectations were met and then some.

On May 29th we were blessed to celebrate our wedding at Town Manor. It was a magical evening thanks to Nandy, Patty and the entire TM staff. Our original cruise wedding was cancelled earlier this year, but fortunately we heard about Town Manor, and they showed us a new vision that came to life without a hitch. I didn’t have to worry about being a ‘groomzilla’ because TM took care of everything. They anticipated our needs and guided us through every step of the process. Our friends and family were in awe of the lovely venue, and the pizza action station before dinner was a big hit with guests as we stepped away for photos. We ended the evening with a delicious plated dinner, dancing, and a farewell sendoff in the rumble seat of a classic model A car. We now have extra special wedding memories that would never have happened on a quick cruise ceremony. Thank you TM! So if you’re looking for a wedding venue, this is the place--you won’t be disappointed!

Just had our wedding 5.29.21 and let me just say I could not imagine getting married anywhere else that is not Town Manor on the Lake. I fell in love with the venue the moment I drove up. The grounds and house are absolutely, impeccably beautiful. I even cried during our tour!
Apart from the beauty of this perfect venue, I fell in love with the staff. Nandy, the owner, and your contact throughout the whole wedding is an absolute angel. She works with you from beginning to end. I love that woman! She was made to be in this business. The venue is an all inclusive but I promise they are worth every penny. They take care of everything from beginning to end and I could not be more happy we choose to have our wedding here. Weddings can be stressful and they make it as stress-free as possible. The venue is run by Nandy's family and they truly make you feel like family since day #1.
The day of we had an assistant wedding coordinator with us, Patty, to tend to the bride and groom's needs. Let me just say I felt like royalty all day. That woman was either holding my champagne glass or my bouquet or bringing us food. I felt like a princess and my husband felt like a king all day. She was amazing!
I cannot emphasize enough what a beautiful day we had and our experience was that much more beautiful because we chose Town Manor on the Lake. Hands down the best money ever spent!

I planned my couples Destination Wedding to Florida at the Town Manor on the Lake. I worked with Nandy Town to create their special day. We had several changes including a covid wedding date change. Nandy was as accommodating and understanding as possible. She went above and beyond to make the day, (when it finally came) as special for our couple as possible. The day was perfect and all I had to do was get the bridal party there, Nandy and team did everything property.

The staff at Town Manor is second to none. From our first phone conversation, I felt heard and looked after. They are very professional and will do their best to make your dream a reality. We had some very unique and special (to us) touches that they brought off without a hitch. It was so stress-free during the planning stages that I was shocked! Our wedding day was amazing. I felt very well taken care of and I didn’t have to do a thing but marry my love and enjoy our friends and family. The staff at Town Manor took care of everything from the timing of it all to a bowl of ice for my swollen fingers! I will recommend them to anyone and plan on using them for our vow renewal in a few years. My husband and I stayed the wedding night in the bridal suite and we just couldn’t stop talking about how perfect the day was. Hire them! You won’t regret it!!

We had an amazing experience with the Town Manor Dream Team. Nandy and her staff are extremely professional and supportive. We loved that it was a family run local operation. We had to move our wedding due to Covid and they worked with us the entire way through. I cannot say enough good things about our wedding. The setting is absolutely gorgeous. We got so many compliments on the venue, and Nandy and her staff made planning a breeze. I really appreciated how much was included with the venue. I didn't have to stress over finding multiple vendors and keeping them all organized. The food was phenomenal - we heard from quite a few Guests that it was the best wedding food they had ever had. And our to go cake tasting was delicious and made for a very sweet at home date night. It's clear from beginning to end that this team loves what they do, and that positive energy is contagious. Do not hesitate to book with Town Manor!

It has taken me some time to write this but that is not for a lack of wonderful things to say. From the moment I contacted Town Manor, they were nothing but wonderful, warm and inviting. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things.
When my now husband and I decided to use Town Manor, we did not fully understand what we were getting – we were being accepted and welcomed into a new family, with open arms.
The moment I began to plan, and stress over the details, Town Manor stepped in, like the amazing people they are, to alleviate that stress. Any time I had a question, they were there to respond. Any time I was stuck or needed to meet in person, Nandy and Emily were available to help me and to walk me through the planning. They made the process so easy and stress free which made me able to worry about other things. From an allergy free menu to a custom play list, they made it happen. Anything I needed; they were there for. If you are on the fence about Town Manor, let me help you with a decision. For the price, you will get perfection. For the price, you will have a dedicated team that will be there for you and help you along the way. For the price, you will have peace of mind and an amazing experience that I know other vendors cannot match. I met and spoke with at least 30 other places and options before I found Town Manor and I am so glad I found them! Their price was better than everyone else’s and they made me feel welcome, loved and appreciated – like I mattered – from the very first conversation. Above all, you will be welcomed in to a wonderful, loving family of some of the best humans I have ever met in my life – I am grateful to Town Manor and to Nandy, Don and Emily, to which I say, thank you.
Side note: the food is seriously amazing and the cake was the best I have ever had in my life.

Nandy, Emily & Don are the best!! From the moment we walked into the venue, we truly felt at home. We felt so comfortable with them, that we actually changed our wedding date because our date was already taken.
If you’re looking for a place that truly does it all (makeup/hair, photographer/videographer,flowers & transportation not included, but they provide recommendations) and treats you like family, look no further. They are great about responding to your emails and or texts quickly. Also, you’re able to customize the decor and menu when you pick the diamond package. Don the DJ, also works with you to create whatever music you want for the cocktail hour, ceremony and reception.
Our wedding day was absolutely amazing, just wish it didn’t go by so fast. We’d love to relive that day again and again!!
Advice for future brides - take a deep breath and enjoy every minute because it truly goes by in the blink of an eye. I feel like it lasted a min & wish I relaxed more, but I felt like I needed to mingle with all guests. I should’ve enjoyed my hubby and food more lol.
We created so many beautiful memories @ Town Manor!! Thank you so much guys :)
Lots of love

After 2 years of touring venues in the Central Florida area, the minute we stepped foot on The Town Manor we knew this was it! What other venues were lacking, the Town Manor has it all. We didn’t have to compromise a single thing on our special day. Not only does the property look pristine every time you visit, in our eyes and even our guests, it is magical in every way.
Meeting Nandy and her professional staff we knew we were in exceptional hands. Every step of the way we were guided in the process. As a couple that wanted to have a 1920’s / Art Deco / Great Gatsby themed wedding, the Town Manor had the vintage flare we wanted and allowed what we were envisioning to make happen! Our guests were blown away!
The owners make enhancements year after year to have the property be even more special for years to come for Brides and Grooms! We were able to enjoy and utilize the newly installed brick oven for one of our action stations. That’s right, our guests enjoyed handmade pizzas throughout the night! They were also gluten free. Even the updated terrace by the pool we were able to utilize as the perfect spot for our jack black tables we rented for our guests.
Worried about dietary needs? Don’t be! The dream team and chef accommodated our wishes to have a shellfish and gluten free menu. Don’t want a sit down dinner or deal with a seating chart? You don’t have to! The Town Manor has a flowing reception option, which is totally what we wanted to have for our wedding and our guests loved it! The price packages can work within your budget. You can add and subtract items as needed. Want to ride away in a 1920's car? The town Manor has that too! The list goes on and on.
I could go on and on with so much more! All the other reviews will shine light on how special the staff and venue is. When you decide to make the time to tour the venue you will see why brides & grooms gush over it! It's the best kept secret venue in Central Florida!
Our wedding was truly a dream come true, it only went by too fast! All the prep, planning, decision making, every detail, it all came together for a one of a kind bride and groom that wanted a fabulous flapper & dapper 1920’s themed wedding!
Thank you Town Manor for all the dedication and passion that went into our wedding and all the fun and special surprises that happened along the way! ;)
I would 200% recommend The Town Manor is the place to get married to any bride & groom looking to be married in the Central Florida area. After all, every couple is one of a kind so why not have a one of a kind wedding that will hands down have all your wants and desires in one place that can make it all happen! That place is called THE TOWN MANOR!!! <3

You will want to book this venue!! It’s basically a one-stop shop and the whole place is too gorgeous to put into words. Nandy and Emily are with you from day one. They answer all your questions, ease your mind, take special requests and really understand how to make you feel happy and satisfied. Nandy even made sure to keep track of our 6-month old’s feeding schedule so we could continue to have a good time. The food is amazing. We picked a flowing tapas style reception, and it worked out perfectly. All our guests complimented the food and couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful the venue is. Don, the DJ played exactly what we wanted - all we had to do was tell him a genre and a few artists and he took it and ran, in a really good way. I was worried about “the gates open at ‘such and such’ time” but it wasn’t an issue. We had a lot of out of town guests and a lot of early arrivals. No one gets turned away, they just have a gathering area out front. It was not a problem like I thought it would be. I also thought that we’d want to add on extra time and was concerned it would be too short, but 4 hours is exactly the right amount of time, even if you don’t think so, it works out so well!! Get married here! They’re the best and made our perfect day actually perfect

I cannot express how magical our wedding was. The venue had every element I wanted, ie: a luscious Florida garden, a vintage vibe, a cool breeze sweeping off of a private lake AND hasstle free planning! They have wedding planning a science, yet they incorporate absolutely any and every special detail you ask for. They are truly professionals. The venue is so unique and special. This is the opposite of cookie a cutter ballroom wedding. I am so thankful we found Town Manor and their amazing team!

I was looking for a venue that said “old style Florida” and this fit it perfectly, with the gorgeous lake, beautiful garden and vintage bridal suite. The grounds are gorgeous, the food and cake was delicious (and they easily made it dairy free, since I’m allergic!) and they made my wedding day so easy. With Nandy and Emily’s hard work, I just showed up on my wedding day and EVERYTHING was arranged. No having to worry about catering, the flowers, the DJ, the cake; they took care of it all.
I had a very small wedding, less than 10 people were there. It felt gorgeously intimate and special and my husband and I felt so special. Their enthusiasm for making our day the perfect one really made everything go above and beyond, from arrival to our departure in the Town Manor’s vintage car and breakfast the next morning.
Stop your search for a venue, because this is it.

My husband and I both chose Town Manor on the Lake before either of us even knew what the other had in mind for the perfect wedding venue. Traveling all the way there sealed the deal for us as the manor’s charm and elegance stood out unlike any other. Nandy and her team made us feel more than welcome as we personalized our special day and were always ready with whatever we needed and took the weight of stress right off our shoulders. Our special day was absolutely breathtaking as we chose to do our ceremony in the afternoon the sun was setting exactly as I walked down the aisle with my father at my side. I couldn’t have dreamt up such a magical day and all the while everyone had fun and enjoyed the exquisite food that the manor served. It was a spectacular location to have and be photographed. I am so glad and most grateful I had the chance to have my dream wedding and so thankful to have such a wonderful team at town manor on the lake to make it happen! And let me just say, the cake was divine (chocolate all the way!) A big thank you to everyone at town manor and I can’t wait to plan something with you guys again!
Lots of Love,
Yasmin & Wei-Chun

Emily and Nandy were very involved in the planning of our wedding, which took away alot of minuscule decisions we didn't have to make! There is a website to make your selections on food, cake and linens which was not hard to navigate. They contacted us when deadlines needed to be met and how we could complete them. So preplanning with Town Manor was easy and stress-free.
The day of the wedding was perfect. The cake was done by them (part of the planning) and since we didn't need a special cake, what we got was spot on. The hors d'oeuvres (also done on the website) came out perfectly and per our choice. Music was great and appropriate to the flowing reception we chose. Couldn't have made a better decision that to pick Town Manor and the beautiful environs for a wedding!

Nandy and her team truly blew us away from the moment we toured the property. From the moment we stepped on the property, we instantly knew this was the venue for us. It had the best of both worlds — a garden and gazebo along with water views (without having a beach wedding). It was everything we were imagining and more! During the planning process, Nandy and Emily were always helpful and willing to answer all my questions (and there was a lot!). I loved being able to communicate easily and efficiently — it helped the planning process move smoothly, which any bride loves! I also loved how accommodating they were with my requests as well as the hauls of decor I brought to the manor! Our wedding was so beautiful and everything came together so wonderfully! As a bride, it was everything I dreamed of and so much more! The gazebo, the water views, the dinner, the cake, the staff — everything was impeccable! More importantly, the dream team is up for anything. They will move mountains to make your special day even more memorable! Plus, your guests will always be raving about the property by the end of the night. Ours are still talking about it! With that being said, we are so thankful to have gotten married at the manor, and honestly, we couldn’t have picked a better venue even if we tried!

I got married at Town Manor B&B on Friday 10/18/19 and it was more beautiful than words can describe. Nandy and Emily handled everything and made it so that the process of planning a wedding was stress free! My whole family kept talking about how stunning the wedding was and how perfect everything looked. Every step of the way Nandy was there for me to help any way I needed. I wish I could go back and experience it all over again because it was that wonderful. If you are looking for a gorgeous venue that’s all inclusive, then look no further! Nandy has your back!

When my husband and I started looking for venues in Florida this was the first one we saw and my heart fell in love. We looked around at different venues but this one always stuck out. When we went to go and view the venue for the first time I was sold. Emily led us around the venue and it was a magical experience. You could feel the romance and magic in the air. When our big day finally came, it was more than I had ever expected. Nandy, Emily, and all of the staff were phenomenal. My husband and I felt like royalty for the day. I will never forget this magical experience. If you are planning on having a wedding in central Florida you NEED to check out this venue. You will not regret it!

TOTAL WOW! A luxury experience. We wanted a place that felt warm, inviting, and intimate, unlike a hotel conference hall. Town Manor delivered. It is charming and beautiful, drawing a lot of praise from our guests who gushed about what a special place it is. One friend told me she wanted to redo her wedding there. Nandy and her team want you to be happy, and anything we asked for was met with a cheerful yes. I can’t imagine wedding planning being any easier - they do it all for you. Most everything is handled in house (cake, DJ, bar, delicious food, decor, etc), and it's delightful that you only need to book one or two vendors. Truly there wasn’t one thing missing from our entire experience, thanks to this stellar team. Our wedding day was incredibly magical.

Town manor truly is wow. Me and my husband flew all the way from Scotland to have our wedding at town manor. My husband is Canadian so we had a good mix at our wedding. From start to finish the whole service was first class. We felt so relaxed and at ease as we didn’t need to do anything. We just went where we were told and everything ran like clockwork. All the staff were amazing. Nandy, Emily, Dan the Dj, our photographer and videographer spot on. Everyone truly made our day one we will treasure in our memories forever. I truly wish we could rewind and do it all again. Here’s hoping we can do a renewal in years to come and head back to the stunning, magical setting of town manor.

When Nandy and her team say all your dreams will come true, they are not kidding! Everything was perfect, more that we could ever ask for. From the moment we arrived to tour the venue, we knew that we didn't have to look any further. Every detail was executed to perfection without hardly any work on our part. The fact that everything is included made planning so much easier and less stressful! From the amazing landscape outside, the gorgeous arch into the garden, blooming trees, the beautiful sunset on the lake, everything was just perfect. We timed the ceremony for 90 minutes before sunset and the lighting was absolutely perfect to have sunset pictures on the dock after the ceremony. The food and cake were delicious and our guests had so much fun on the dance floor! We absolutely loved getting married at Town Manor and our guests were absolutely stunned with how amazing and beautiful the venue was! Everyone has been raving about our wedding!

We could not have imagined a more beautiful place. We loved that everything was truly included and decorated to perfection based on the information we sent in. It also was so helpful to have access to all of the vendors used in the past, no stress on the wedding day!! The only thing we would change is the time frame. If we could go back in time we would have paid for the extra hour to stay longer (which says a lot!!!)

Our wedding on November 30, 2018 at Town Manor was hands down the best day ever. Town Manor on the Lake was the first and only venue we visited. From the second I stepped on the property I fell in love. It was December 2017 and was beautifully decorated with festive Christmas décor and so beautiful. After giving the down payment I had some concerns that maybe we decided too quickly or acted on emotion and should have looked into more places, but I have absolutely no regrets about our decision to have our special day here. Working with Nandy and Emily was an absolute breeze. The days leading up to the wedding were 100% stress free, which was actually stressing me out. I thought I should be so overwhelmed right now, somethings not right! I had my doubts that something, anything would go wrong the day of the wedding. Everything from the weather to the food and guests were perfect and magical. When they say the take care of everything, they mean they take care of everything! I am still in awe about how magical our day was. I would recommend this place 100 times over and over again! Thank you to all of the staff at Town Manor for the perfect day! I cannot wait to see our beautiful photos from the wedding.

The Town Manor on the Lake was the absolute perfect venue. I was blown away at just how amazing the crew at the Town Manor is. Working with Nandy and crew was honestly a stress-free and easy going experience. We expected wedding planning to be a rough and overwhelming experience, but this was a lot easier going than we expected. The venue itself is honestly the most perfect place I can think of. The ceremony happened just before the sun was getting ready to set and this led to us having some truly spectacular photos. After the ceremony and photos came the food which I should mention we got plenty of (the crew will be bringing the bride + groom food the whole time). There was plenty of food and it was phenomenal (we primarily had Asian dishes, but we also had the Pizza from their brick oven outside). The venue also gave plenty of space for those who wanted to dance and party (dance floor) and also those who wanted a more relaxing setting (outside or at the tables inside). Overall, I honestly can't say I've been to a more perfect venue with such a great group of hosts. They'll truly made it a night to remember and I would highly recommend you plan your special night with the Town Manor on the Lake!

First off, I'd like to say that I couldn't have had a better, more beautiful day thanks to Nandy and Emily. The service was perfect, from planning to executing the day of. The food was delicious according to guests, but I wished food was packed up as saved for the bride and groom to take home! With all the socializing and dancing, I never got a chance to sit down (not fair!). The cake was beautiful and tasted delicious, and the signature champagne was to die for. My only complaints were the music and time. I wish my playlist was taken into consideration more, and for the cost, I wish you had longer time at the venue! All in all, my wedding day was perfect and I wouldn't have had it anywhere else.
Vendor response 11/09/2018
We are so glad you and Conrad had such a great time at your wedding! I’m sorry your guests...
stole you away from your dinner, you were definitely the celebrities of the day! You were so much fun to watch tearing up the dance floor, you really did create an awesome playlist. Our DJ is very good at reading the crowd so he did play a few songs that were not on your list to bring guests back to the dance floor when there was a bit of a lull. I understand not wanting your wedding day to end. Our packages start at four hours but you are able to add time to your event at your discretion. We are so very happy you chose Town Manor for your special day and all of your personal touches made it unique and special for all of us as well. We are all so glad you had such a perfect start to your happily ever after!

Fairytale wedding!
My husband and I planned our dream wedding all the way from Newfoundland, Canada. Nandy was great with helping us with the planning process and was quick to provide answers to any questions we had!
Up until we arrived in Florida we had only seen pictures of the Town Manor and were already in love with it. Well, the pictures do not do this place justice at all! The venue is absolutely breathtaking. From the ceremony area with the grand gazebo, to the reception area, the terrace and the secret garden- it’s all so elegant and intimate. The trees and greenery are absolutely gorgeous - as is the dock on the lake.
The service we received from the town manor team was second to none. The food was delicious- all of our guests were raving about it. The cake looked amazing and was so tasty too! The attention to detail definitely didn’t go unnoticed by us and our guests. They were also extremely accommodating to our daughter, Sarah, who uses a wheelchair. They made sure we had everything we needed for her - she felt so comfortable and had the best day ever!
Our day went so smoothly. It was perfect! We can’t wait to visit the next trip we take to Florida!

My (now) husband and I got married on 8.18.18 and we began our venue searched over a year prior. I found Town Manor on The Knot and immediately reached out to schedule a venue tour. From the moment we entered the proper we found overselves in a dream land. The landscape is breathtaking and Nandy is truly a gift from above! Let's just say we signed our contract and made our deposit the same day. Nandy and her team and just so special. Nandy and I communicated the majority of the year through email and assured me all tasks would be taken care of...and they were! My wedding day was honestly just perfect and all credit goes to Nandy and the Dream Team! Nandy's daughter, Emily, was my right hand man and helped calm my nerves and assisted me with my dress all throughout the night. Our wedding guests to this day still rave about how amazing the venue, food and staff were! Manor magic is real!
