About weddings in Orlando
Orlando is landlocked. No ocean, no bay, no salt water at all, and that surprises people who assume Florida means beach. What it has is hundreds of freshwater lakes and one of the best botanical wedding sites in the state: Harry P. Leu Gardens, fifty acres of old-growth camellia and live oak forest on a lake, in the middle of the city. The Grand Bohemian, the Dr. Phillips Center, the Ritz-Carlton Grande Lakes and Cypress Grove Estate House handle everything from resort mega-ballrooms to historic lakeside estates. A venue costs about $10,810, food is $117 a head, and an open bar adds $51. A 120-guest wedding runs about $44,200. If a beach ceremony is what you actually want, Cocoa Beach is about an hour east. Plenty of couples marry there and celebrate here.
