We got married here on one of the glass bottom boats (Chief Potackee, the ADA one) and it was incredible. I did all my communication with them (Mackenzie) thru email as this was a destination "elopement" style minimony for us. Communication was incredible, all my questions were answered promptly, the boat was lovely and they were super accommodating the entire day. Captain Bill was also super amazing and accommodating the day of the rehearsal. The boat ceremony was very untraditional which was super us and we loved- however I will note that if you're looking for the traditional aisle walk, with ceremony starting immediately afterwards, the boat may not be what you're looking for. There technically is a "bridal room" for getting ready, but it's only included if you also book the ballroom reception space. I got a hotel room at the Holiday Inn across the street and got ready there- which was totally fine. Bride, groom & all guests/vendors are requested to get there 30 mins early, to get everyone on the boat. Then bride (and father/whoever) walks to the boat. No music (wasn't a problem for us, probably could have been done if you're creative about it tho). There is a bit (10 - 15min) of a boat ride to the ceremony "staging" area, in which you cannot stand because the boat is moving. Once you get to the staging area, you can stand and the ceremony starts. When the ceremony is over, you sit again and have whatever time left of the hour to do a mini boat tour. I would 1000% recommend this experience to anyone looking for a nontraditional ceremony experience.

From the moment we booked Casani Estates for our wedding, the communication with the staff was always clear, timely, and thorough. They were incredibly flexible and accommodating to all of our requests, helping to make our special day perfect. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with multiple options for the ceremony location that allowed us to create the exact atmosphere we were going for. The size was perfect for our 80 guest wedding, and the owners were even present during the event to ensure everything ran smoothly - they helped with parking and other logistical details that took the stress off us and they worked well with our wedding planner. We are so grateful for their responsiveness and dedication to making our wedding day exactly as we had envisioned. We would very highly recommend Casani Estates to any couple looking for a gorgeous, flexible, and well-run wedding venue, especially if looking for a "one-stop shop" place - we had our ceremony and reception here. Casani worked well with all of our vendors.

The Tavares Pavilion On The Lake was an incredible venue for our wedding. The Pavilion had fast response times and did not mind my billions of questions - they answered them all! They even had a bunch of patience awaiting my responses back to them. The venue is very spacious and worth every penny. They lit the outside of their building up as pink for me with no extra charge, which made for such a special touch. The Tavares Pavilion On The Lake truly gave us the most unforgettable day!

Hands down the best choice we could have made! Ty & Craig were both so wonderful and helpful through the whole process. The venue is drop dead gorgeous. My wedding day was perfect because of them! They host several open houses throughout the year which helped me pick all my other vendors. Ty is so kind and wonderful, and has built really good friendships with a lot of other people in the industry. The inclusive package is wayyy worth it. We saved so much getting the Rose package! The getting ready suites were spotless when we arrived. Perfect areas for getting ready photos. Literally the whole property is a dream and they have done a lot of work over the last year making it even better! I will never stop recommending them!!
