About this venue

Are you envisioning a fairy tale wedding set against a picturesque backdrop? Look no further than the Tavares Pavilion on the Lake. Serenely floating over beautiful Lake Dora, this tropical-inspired waterfront oasis is furnished with natural fibers, lovingly restored antiques, and original artwork. Tavares Pavilion consists of an 8,000-square-foot two-story event center. Both floors offer indoor ballrooms that offer floor-to-ceiling windows for a covered ceremony or reception for up to 190 guests. The Ballrooms offer elegant espresso Chiavari chairs, aircraft aluminum tables, and handcrafted artistry. Our carved, two-tier, winding wood staircase with a back glass wall overlooking the lake is a beautiful space to say your “I Do’s”. In addition, the venue has a 150-foot brick-paved pier that can be used for a stunning outdoor ceremony or a reception under the stars. Your wedding day should be nothing short of magical, and Tavares Pavilion on the Lake promises just that.

    The Tavares Pavilion On The Lake was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first connected with their team, we were impressed by their informative, responsive, and super friendly communication style. They truly curated an exceptional experience for us, going above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. The breathtaking views from their venue were the most stunning we saw in all of Central Florida, and their hardworking and fun-loving team, including Amy, Christie, Dan, Lee, and James, brought our dream wedding to life. They set up the ceremony and reception exactly to our specifications and put us completely at ease, infusing the entire day with life and joy. We couldn't have hoped for a better venue or team to celebrate our special day!

    This venue is absolutely stunning, with water views all around. It was important to my husband and I that we were able to bring the outside in, as we wanted to keep our wedding day fully indoors. The staircase and windows create such a gorgeous backdrop, and every part of the Pavilion is crafted with care. And beside all of that, their team is exceptional! We toured the site several times, and each time were met with the loveliest people who cared to answer all of our questions and provide ideas and concepts for our day. They were endlessly kind, attentive, and cooperative. Our day couldn't have run more smoothly, and we owe it all to the Tavares Pavilion on the Lake!

    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!
