We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience at Victoria 1883. This beautifully restored historical bed and breakfast was not only the setting for our wedding weekend...
—it was truly the heart of it. From the moment we arrived, Fabiola, the incredible owner, made us feel so welcome and cared for. Her attention to detail, warmth, and thoughtfulness set the tone for what would be one of the most memorable weekends of our lives.
We stayed at Victoria 1883 for the entire weekend, and each morning we were greeted with the most stunning and delicious breakfasts—beautifully presented, fresh, and clearly made with love. On our wedding day, Fabiola went above and beyond, adding personalized touches that made everything feel extra special and meaningful. It honestly felt like she had thought of every single thing we might need or want before we even asked.
The venue itself was absolutely perfect. Every space was elegant, comfortable, and full of charm. We also hosted our rehearsal dinner there in the super cool speakeasy downstairs, which our guests are still raving about—it was such a unique and fun touch!
If you are considering Victoria 1883 for your wedding, a weekend getaway, or any special event, do not hesitate. It’s rare to find a place where history, beauty, and heartfelt hospitality come together so seamlessly. Thank you, Fabiola, for making our weekend unforgettable. We are already dreaming about coming back!

I can't imagine a better wedding venue than Victoria 1883 and I feel so fortunate I got to have my wedding here. The grounds speak for itself. It was exactly the old Florida charm ...
I was looking for. I loved that the entire wedding happened on one property but each element had it's own unique scene - ceremony on the lawn under a giant oak tree, cocktail hour in the speakeasy (which blew guests minds) and reception in the courtyard under a tent with special lighting to create the ultimate party spot. My favorite part of the venue is that our entire wedding party was able to stay onsite all weekend long at the B&B. It create a special moment for all our besties to spend time together and make beautiful new memories. The daily breakfast is amazing (do the avocado toast!!!) and the rooms are cozy. The entire Victoria 1883 staff is very kind and accommodating. While weddings are always a beautiful time, I think what makes Victoria 1883 so special is that you spend three days here, surrounded by your favorite people, and truly feel at home. Thank you, Fabiola and team, for creating a special wedding weekend for us. We can't wait to be back for anniversary trips!
