Adams Estate - Lake Alfred, Florida

Sarah Norato

The Adams Estate was the absolute perfect wedding venue for us! As a previous wedding vendor, I had a long list of wants and needs when looking for my own venue and Adams Estate met all of them. Being able to stay on property with our closest friends, family, and dogs made the night before and wedding day so much easier. Waking up and enjoying the grounds and not having to leave property was such a relief. Our #1 focus for our wedding venue was a seamless Plan B for inclement weather, which is something everyone should think about no matter what time of year in Florida. The added on tent for reception is what ultimately helped us choose Adams Estate, our wedding day ended up with some rain and lots of wind so it was perfect and cozy for our reception. We worked with Eve from our first tour through our wedding day and she helped answer every question, no matter how small, and very quickly. Our whole experience was absolutely great and we would choose Adams Estate all over again 🙂

I couldn’t imagine a more perfect venue for our special day! Adams Estate offered everything we could have wanted and more. From the spacious bridal suite, groom's loft, gorgeous ceremony garden, enclosed tent for dining, guest lodging on property, and last but not least a breathtaking view! I was fortunate enough to have Sean Middlebrook as my Day of Coordinator who also is the General manager of Adams Estate. Sean made planning a breeze, he was so patient, knowledgeable, accommodating and passionate. My husband and I created memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. Adams Estate will forever have a specific plan in our heart!

The most perfect venue for a wedding! I cannot say enough good things about the Adams estate. When my husband and I were looking for a wedding venue we wanted something that felt unique and gave us options for how we wanted to utilize the space. The Adams estate met all our criteria, each space is unique and beautiful and allowed us to have the most perfect wedding day. We rented out all the cottages to keep our wedding party and family there for the weekend and it was so convenient not having to coordinate people meeting at places. The staff is amazing and easy to work with. Highly recommend!

Having our wedding at Adam’s Estate was a dream! The venue is gorgeous, the staff goes above and beyond, the property offers everything your event guests could ever need, and the sunsets on the lake are breath taking. Highly recommend!!

We’ve photographed several weddings at Adams Estate, so I can confidently say that Adams Estate is one of the best venues in central Florida. The bridal and groom suites are amazing and spacious. There are a ton of different beautiful locations for photos as well. Adams Estate is such a classic venue that will never go out of style. Plus, every time we go there it seems like they make improvements - which is amazing and not something all venues do! Highly recommend!

This is the place to get married

We could not have been happier to get married at this beautiful venue. We toured venues a little over a year before we got married and stumbled upon the Adams estate in Lake Alfred. It was everything we were looking for in a venue. The on-site accommodations were perfect for our large families and our friends coming from out of town. This venue has both a bride suite and a separate grooms boathouse so there is plenty of space for both parties to get ready and relax before the ceremony. It goes without saying, the grounds are gorgeous. We didn’t feel the need to do too much in terms of decor because the landscaping and architecture speaks for itself. The Adams estate has a 40 x 60 foot tent that stays up year round. That was a huge selling point for us as we knew we wanted an outdoor ceremony. They also added the glass paneling around the tent after we signed our contract. The tent is now air conditioned which is another perk.

The Adams estate staff continued to impress us as we planned our wedding with their responsiveness to our emails, answering our millions of questions and recommending us vendors to work with. Abbey, specifically was the one helping us as we planned our wedding and she was fantastic to work with. She communicated efficiently with us and gave us a heads up when she went on maternity leave. The Adams estate staff treated our friends and family like they were their own. Their hospitality, attention to detail and happiness to work with us on this special day was incredible. I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to plan an elegant, timeless, classic wedding with a large guest count. They will take care of you and make your day special.

This is a beautiful venue with plenty of room for dancing! The house and grounds were elegant, light, warm, and cheerful (even on a rainy day). The view of Lake Alfred from the large windows that line the building is stunning. We had a wonderful time here. ❤️

Where do I even begin with this review? It's hard to put into words how perfect this venue is. From the spaces available to you on your wedding day, to the staff you get to work with, to the onsite cottages, everything was a dream. As a bride, this place checks all my boxes and then some. I remember touring the venue in 2022, I knew this would be where we got married, I couldn't walk away from this beautiful venue, and now two years later (2/18/2024) we did it!
The estate house itself is a dream, the bridal suite and the groomsmen loft are such an amazing touch. But the onsite cottages are the icing on the cake. I would highly recommend reserving them all for your friends and family to stay in following your wedding. We had them all booked, and it was the perfect place to have everyone right there only a walk away, the celebration gets to continue without the fear of disrupting anyone. Jhoanna, the lodging manager was an absolute gem! From her communication the weeks prior, to the ease of check in with her right there making sure it all went perfectly, to her only being a text or phone call away during the entire stay was truly a blessing. She is fantastic!
Now let me tell you, as a bride there are 101 things on your to do list, from contacting and updating vendors, to trying to make sure you have everything you need, to worrying about everything under the sun. But having Debbie as my day of coordinator made my life as a bride EASY. There are no combination of words that I could string together to give enough praise to this lovely woman. She was in my corner throughout the entire things, even the weeks leading up to the wedding, she was updating vendors, organizing the timeline, checking in on our well being and so much more. She made the day flawless. I can remember feeling nothing but anxious the night before our wedding day, we were set up to meet with Debbie for our rehearsal walk through and when I tell you the moment I was able to give her a hug and she began talking my nerves disappeared. It was like you could hear the collective sigh from our wedding party and all the tension leave the room. Debbie is a gift from above when it comes to knowing exactly what to say and do at any moment.
Our wedding day happened to be extremely rainy and overcast and all around dreary. But when you ask me what I remember from my wedding day, the weather is not one of those things, the way the staff at Adam's Estate rallied around us and made sure that despite the weather our day would be perfect made it extremely easy to ignore everything outside that event tent.
Just a few hours before our wedding and a short amount of time before the guest were going to arrive I looked out the window and saw the rain and wind, I got the look of panic in my eyes and Debbie said, "You tell me what you need lady, I will get it done, this is your day, I just need to know what you need." And that she did. Her and the staff worked so fast and with no complaint to rearrange our ceremony site and move everything into the tent where weather would be no issue. This is only one out of many moments Debbie and everyone else made me feel heard and safe as a bride. I cannot thank them enough.
This venue is everything you want as a bride, I can promise you that. I wish I could relive our wedding day over and over just to be back here with all our favorite people. I cannot recommend this place enough.
