  • Lovely October Wedding!

    My daughter and son-in-law got married at Casani in October 2023. The facility was lovely and Carmen was easy to work with. The enclosed pavilion was perfect! The air conditioning kept us all comfortable on this beautiful property. The gazebo, the bride house, the decks and patio were all used for a variety of different picture backdrops. The sunset pictures were amazing! We could not have been more pleased with the choice to have the wedding at Casani!

    A dream come true. The scenery is peaceful, tranquil, simply STUNNING. It’s so beautiful you hardly need much to decorate it, I made all our decorations by hand. The wide open layout, the sky, the sunset, the reflection of it on the water, incredible. That’s just the tip on the iceberg. Carmen was so flexible and helpful throughout our journey of putting together a wedding within six months, she had vendor recommendations that were game changing. Not only that, but she married us herself! She did it in such a tender and magical way. Carmen went above and beyond to make us feel at home! Major TIP: Julia Vivian is the BEST day of coordinator you could imagine, she’s genius. We got married during golden hour, took photos during sunset, and danced during the cool night time after sunset. We cherish and so deeply appreciate every moment. Our wedding day was just dreamy, goofy and comfy, unbelievable. You can not find a better place to make the best memories of a lifetime with your love, especially with Carmen at the head of it all.

  • The Best Experience Ever!!

    Looking for the PERFECT wedding venue? Look no further!!! Casani Estates in Groveland, FL is definitely where you want to host your next event. I had my wedding here in September and it was the best experience ever!! For starters, Mrs. Carmen the owner was absolutely amazing! She is very professional and personably. Once I booked with her she was literally there through the entire ride with me. She will assist in finding vendors if needed and will help in anyway she possibly can. The venue is absolutely gorgeous! For a better choice of words it’s BREATHTAKING, and that’s exactly why I canceled my first venue I found a couple of months prior to stumbling upon this gem !! Every inch of the property is perfect for photos. I highly recommend a company with a drone, to get great shots of the scenery. I loved how the property had cabins available for a little extra (totally worth it) to accommodate the wedding couple and any guest who may need to stay. I can literally go on and on, but you catch the drift! Book you a tour to see it for yourself, and don’t hesitate to Book your event! Again, thanks Carmen and the Casani estates fam for hosting my wedding!

    Literally my favorite place on Earth! I got married here in February of 2023. I book it the spring before (maybe April) so I had about 10 mos of wedding planning. During that time, I had countless conversations about literally everything with the fabulous Carmen and about 3 or 4 visits to the venue not including the initial tour for various parts of planning. From the moment we toured the venue, we knew it was THE ONE. Every single inch of the property is just stunning inside and out. Carmen was beyond sweet, knowledgeable, caring, helpful and fun! She danced at my wedding and I even have pictures of her and her husband in the photo booth. Speaking of her hubby, Mike is super awesome as well! The day of my wedding he checked on me to see if there was anything I needed and to see how I was doing. Every time I visited the venue he was hard at work making things more and more perfect. Any time I needed guidance or talked off a ledge, Carmen had a solution. I had a fantastic wedding planner but Carmen was the real MVP. Fast forward to my wedding weekend.. I got married on a Sunday but I stayed the night before and the night of in one of the super adorable cabins on the property (I wish I was still there). It was just absolutely peaceful and the perfect way to spend my weekend. I woke up my wedding morning and had a great massage in a beautiful setting then had the best day of my life. Everyone at Casani worked really hard and made sure everything was perfect and went off without a hitch. We were taken great care of starting with wine and charcuterie and then sent away with two Casani toasting glasses as a keepsake as well as a million wonderful memories and two new family members. We love Carmen, Mike and Casani so much that 1. we waited in line to see them at a wedding expo even though we already had them booked, 2. I keep trying to get a job there so I can hang out there with them literally all the time lol and 3. I'm trying to come up with an annual event excuse just so I can go back and do this all over again. If you are thinking of going for a tour or booking an event DO IT (and invite me)!!!! You will not regret it. I relive that weekend over and over every single day. This is not a paid endorsement, I'm just really that obsessed. I will take payment in quality time at Casani however haha!
