Amanda & Nicholas-Hollis Garden-Lakeland, FL
Amanda and Nicholas tied the knot at Hollis Garden, in Lakeland, Florida.  This is a favorite wedding location, in Lakeland.  For a fee, one can reserve this spot for a given time, but you will need to book
early, as it stays very busy.
The Marinos-Hollis Garden-Lakeland, FL
Jane & Steve's ceremony was at the grotto, in Hollis Gardens.
For smaller ceremonies at Hollis Garden, we can just meet
and have your ceremony,at no cost for use of the garden.
It's a free public garden.  Of course we always respect
others who may have rented the central location,but there are
many nice spots to use, without interfering with anyone.
The Warrens-Floridays Resort-Orlando, FL
The Warrens had a beautiful ceremony at the Floridays Resort,
in Orlando, FL.  For them, it was a destination wedding,
vacation and the blending of two families, all in one!
The concierge did a great job of setting up for their
simple, yet elegant event!
The Kenders-Weeki Wachee Springs, Florida
The Kenders had a combination family reunion
and wedding in the ballroom of the Best Western
Motel, in Weeki Wachee Springs, Florida.

well worth the effort,  to go there.
