For an intimate outdoor elopement, the dock is a quaint outdoor wedding venue to exchange vows. This small structure is covered providing escape from the sun and any chance of rain.

In Florida the weather is always unpredictable and having a Plan B indoor wedding venue is very important. Tents can be costly and also not 100% protected from the elements.

To ensure the comfort and safety of your guests, Up the Creek Farms is prepared with a contingency plan inside the Boathouse. As opposed to having to put up a last-minute tent at other venues, our indoor space provides so much flexibility. We can make arrangements closer to your ceremony time, where we have a better forecast for the weather. As you can see, it’s a stunning plan B!

The outdoor patio on the deck of the Boathouse overlooks the lawn and provides guests with an enjoyable place to sip and see. This is the perfect outdoor venue for cocktail hour. Quench your guests’ thirst palettes with a southern-style cocktail hour serving signature drinks passed through a pulley style bar window.

We understand how important beautiful outdoor spaces are for a wedding. October through May are the best months for an outdoor wedding in Florida. When many states are snowed in, we are experiencing the most beautiful weather. However, anytime of year in Florida you’ll absolutely want to combine indoor spaces for getting ready and dining and dancing!

Atop a hill, and up the creek, sits the two-story Decklan House. Available for day-of wedding party preparation, photography or bridal accommodations, the renovated home provides clients with comfortable, unique and convenient on-site amenities. Built in 1878, this historic Farmhouse boasts character inside and out. In the spirit of the rest of the property, the home combines old and new – from hard plank-wood floors to updated decor and modern bathrooms. French doors and wide porches envelope the entire home, revealing breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.

A dressing suite with a comfortable lounge space, four hair and makeup stations, multiple mirrors, and space to hang dresses are all part of the Decklan House amenities. Upstairs in the Billiard’s loft, you’ll find a beautiful slate pool table, mini fridge, coat closet.

While we love outdoor wedding venues in Florida for beautiful ceremonies, cocktail hour, portraits, and fun, an indoor wedding reception will keep your guests comfortable. The centerpiece of the Up the Creek Farms property is the stately Boathouse, a 6,000-square-foot reception space that can accommodate up to 175 seated guests.

This classic wood-framed building features east-facing French doors to allow for a creek breeze and dramatic views of the property. The Boathouse was designed with Florida’s climate in mind, and includes all modern conveniences — air conditioning, a custom mahogany bar, grand sliding barn doors, and beautifully appointed bathrooms. An on-site commercial-grade prep kitchen is available for professional caterers and event vendors to ensure your event runs smoothie in both the front and the back of the house.

With so many beautiful spaces, Up the Creek Farms outdoor wedding venues in Central Florida are the perfect choice for your outdoor wedding.
