Historic wedding venues are increasingly popular for couples who want a unique and unforgettable setting for their big day. These venues offer charm and character that you simply can’t find at modern wedding venues.
If you are looking for a unique and unforgettable wedding venue, look no further than Casa Feliz in Winter Park, Florida. This historic home is perfect for an intimate celebration with your closest family and friends.
Casa Feliz is the ideal setting for a romantic wedding celebration with rustic textures and stunning blue accents. The architectural details at this venue are amazing, and every detail has been carefully curated to create a truly magical atmosphere.
You and your guests will be amazed by the beauty and detail of this historic home. That’s part of the reason Ginny + Nick chose Casa Feliz. Let’s explore the venue and I can show you some of my favorite memories from their day. And don’t forget to check out their film at the end. It really captures all the feels!!
Inside Casa Feliz
The wedding party can use the upstairs of Casa Feliz as a getting-ready space before the ceremony. I met Ginny at her hotel before she came over to Casa Feliz to capture some photos before the day began. Ginny is a dancer. She is classy and exudes pure elegance; she fits right into Casa Feliz as if it were her home.
The upstairs of the house is not open to guests, so this is a great opportunity to get some stunning shots without worrying about people being in the background. Don’t worry…I wouldn’t snap a photo unless the background was perfectly clean and polished.
The Indoor Courtyard
The indoor courtyard is another beautiful space at Casa Feliz. It is surrounded by Spanish-style panels with blue accents and a small fountain, creating a romantic and intimate setting. This space is perfect for…
- The first look with your parents or spouse,
- Reading your vows privately,
- Capturing some gorgeous photos of the two of you,
- Practicing your first dance, or
- An outside bar to keep the party moving through different spaces.
I always try to keep personal moments personal and not be intrusive when you two share a private moment. But let’s be honest – I know you’re going to want the photos! My crew has longer lenses so we can stay further back and be as discrete as possible so you can have the best of both worlds!
The Foyer Credenza
One of my favorite details at Casa Feliz is the credenza space inside the foyer. This is a great spot for guests to drop off gifts as they arrive or to sign the guest book. The best part about this space is that not many people utilize it! It’s a hidden gem that I love because of its character and charm.
The Party Time
The DJ sets up in an interior room, which is a great idea because it keeps the noise level down and doesn’t impact the party. I love when couples set up a photo booth in this space too! It’s the perfect place for guests to snap some fun photos with each other. And yes, I’m going to take a few photos of them being goofballs inside the photo booth too. That’s why I’m here, right?!
And when you book with Our DJ Rocks, they have an awesome photo booth that you can add to the package.
The Outdoor Courtyard
One thing that makes Casa Feliz so special is the stunning outdoor courtyard. This space is perfect for an intimate ceremony. Ginny’s brother escorted her down the aisle since her father had passed away. To include her father in the ceremony, she did have a memorial chair set in his honor on the first row.
The courtyard is technically the front of the house; it is surrounded by beautiful blue accent panels on the house and lush greenery that separates the house from the golf course.
There are also several scenic photo opportunities around the courtyard, including a gorgeous arched doorway or overhead balcony.
The Golf Course View
The golf course is a beautiful open backdrop for the courtyard. The greenery and seclusion make it feel like you’re in your own little world!
It’s always so neat to see golfers stopping to watch the ceremony, and they are always very respectful.
While you use the edge of the golf course to complete some photos, your guests can move to cocktail hour. You have the option of hosting it outside or inside the house. Which option would you prefer?
The Reception
The patio behind the house is a great place for dinner. I love when couples use this space because it’s so beautiful and the natural light gives me such good vibes. Most couples sit on the covered lanai so they have the arches in front of them.
If you want to move your reception inside, the house can accommodate that, but it depends on your guest count. I think it would be more fun to start the party outside so you can take advantage of all the venue has to offer.
The food & beverage at Casa Feliz is provided exclusively by Arthur’s catering, and we love everything they have to offer. From the avocado bar to a tapas buffet to a shrimp ‘n grits station, they have something for everyone!
The Cake
And no, I didn’t forget about the cake. There is a separate credenza inside that you can use to cut the cake. I hear from my bakery friends they LOVE this because their wonderful buttercream creations won’t melt in this Florida heat!
Winter Park, Florida
Winter Park is a charming city located just outside of Orlando, Florida. The city is home to Rollins College and a number of beautiful parks and gardens. It is also known for its quaint shops and restaurants.
The city has a small-town feel, but it’s also close to all the attractions that Orlando has to offer. If you’re looking for a unique and beautiful setting for your wedding, Winter Park is the perfect place.
Casa Feliz is situated in the heart of this lovely city. You and your guests will love exploring all that Winter Park has to offer while you visit.
So what are you waiting for? If you’re looking for a truly unique and special place to celebrate your wedding, Casa Feliz is the perfect venue for you.
Contact me today to learn more about this beautifully historic venue. I can’t wait to help you capture memories you and your guests will never forget.
