    Historic Venue 1902 was an amazing choice for our wedding. From the beginning, their communication was very professional and understanding. They were quick to respond to all of our questions and concerns. The venue itself is a huge, beautiful space and was extremely affordable, which was important to us. Due to a hurricane just a few days before our big day, they called to update us on everything and were extremely flexible as we didn't know the final guest count since many couldn't make it out. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was perfect despite the weather challenges. We are so grateful to Historic Venue 1902 for making our wedding dreams a reality!

    The best decision you can make is to get married at Venue 1902! I followed them even before I was engaged and I'm so happy I did because they are the absolute BEST venue. The space is beautiful and unique in the best way, and has so many different special areas that you can utilize for your big day. We had so many compliments about the venue and how wonderful it was. In addition to a beautiful space they have a WONDERFUL staff who were incredible in assisting our coordinator with flipping our ceremony space into our reception space. They are responsive and have wonderful coordinator recommendations so be sure to utilize every resource they offer! I will forever be thankful that we were able to have our wedding here and this space will forever hold a special place in my heart. If you're looking for a beautiful, unique, and diverse wedding venue, book Venue 1902!

    BOTTOM LINE – EVERY COUPLE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA SHOULD GET MARRIED HERE!! Hurricane Milton struck THREE DAYS before our wedding and what could’ve been the most stressful situation ever was a total breeze thanks to the clear communication and hard work of the Venue 1902 team (including the owner, Lisa, who PERSONALLY called me to give me updates on our venue IN THE MIDDLE OF A HURRICANE – talk about above and beyond!!) Weeks later, we and our guests are still absolutely gushing over Venue 1902. Not only was it the perfect venue for our wedding, but the staff and the amenities provided are truly unmatched. Venue 1902 has it ALL, from phenomenal staff to luxurious facilities to a top-notch preferred vendor list that made wedding planning a breeze. We could not have asked for better! They truly make you feel like a VIP throughout the entire planning process and especially on the day of the wedding. Special shout outs to Adriana (we love you!!), Madison, Leah, Aleshia, and Lisa – you guys are absolute rockstars and we wish we could get married again and again to be with your incredible team! We hosted our ceremony outside in the courtyard, cocktail hour was split between the downstairs bar area and a gorgeous outdoor bar and lounge, then the reception was upstairs in the ballroom. Guests were in awe of the entire space (we also lucked out with perfect weather after SUCH a horrific storm) and how every detail was perfectly executed. (To quote my now-mother-in-law, “Every wedding has at least one major hiccup, but yours didn’t at ALL. It was the perfect day!”) We could not recommend Venue 1902 enough and we want to express our deepest gratitude to the entire team for making our wedding the most beautiful and magical day of our lives. Thank you, Venue 1902!!

    Venue 1902 is the perfect wedding venue for a beautiful, stress-free day! From the first tour and meeting with Aleshia, everyone we met with or spoke to from the venue was so kind, patient, and they truly cared about making our big day special. Our day-of coordinators (Adriana, Ady, and Haley) were incredibly kind and so well-organized. We supplied our own decor and had vendors dropping off floral/favors/cake- everything from load-in and set-up of the decor to teardown and load-out went seamlessly. If any issues arose, they were solved and I didn’t know and had no stress on my wedding day. In addition to the incredible people working to ensure your wedding is perfect, the venue itself is beautiful. The bridal suite is perfect for getting-ready photos, the courtyard is wonderful for first looks and family portraits, and the whole space is bright and airy. We highly recommend getting married at Venue 1902!
