Get everything in writing before you sign!!! The venue is perfect, It will win your heart over! I’d give it 5 stars but the communication and manager would say one thing then change it. She was very nice initially but became unprofessional at times. The day of the wedding she never came to say hello or congrats..nothing to my new husband or I. That is why it is a 3. Recommendation: getting a day of coordinator to help you because she didn’t even bring in enough staff to fill the 2nd bar so my DOC and her assist had to run it!!! Catering and liquor have to go through the venue, she was well aware of the money that was paid to provide that service. Overall if you have someone willing to help professionally to advocate for you, and you communicate all via email you will have a wonderful time.

We had the wedding of our dreams at the Halifax! Cara made the process so seamless with her endless help. The grounds are stunning and many guests have told us it was the most beautiful venue they’ve ever been to! (We have to agree!) we felt comfortable with over 150 guests, even with the dance floor packed all night! Our wedding photos are gorgeous thanks to the expansive and picturesque grounds. Can’t recommend the Estate enough!!!

Stunning venue. Everywhere we went was absolutely gorgeous. The staff was super helpful and friendly. We went for a wedding and I told my husband, if we renew our vows, this is an awesome place to do it!

Words cannot express how absolutely stunning this property is, I could not have chosen a better wedding venue. Not only is it much larger than the pictures look, but there are multiple places to say your vows outside, or inside the wedding chapel. Unlike most outdoor venues, if it rains, there is an option to use the chapel, which takes away a ton of stress in itself. The best part is the whole wedding can take place at one venue, from getting ready, to the ceremony, to the reception, and even to a place to spend the first night as husband and wife. And each part of the property is immaculate and worthy of being put on the cover of a high end wedding magazine. Cara went above and beyond as well to make our special day absolutely magical and she was very patient with someone like me who had no idea where to even begin wedding planning. She explained this property belonged to her family for many generations which makes it even more special. Catering, alcohol, chairs and tables were included in this package as well and made the process so much less stressful. The best part is it was much cheaper than the many other venues we checked out and much more extravagant. If you want to feel like a prince and princess on your special day, you have to check out this gem! I've had numerous guest tell me they have been to much more expensive weddings and they weren't as nice as ours because of this incredible venue! Thank you Cara, and family, for opening up your beloved family property and helping coordinate such a special day!!!

This venue was beyond what I expected. The staff was on top of everything making sure the guests were happy and acknowledged. We were to have an outdoor wedding but Mother Nature had different plans. There was no issue in moving it to the church instead of making us wait the weather to pass. I loved the bridal had there own building as to make sure the bride and bridesmaids were comfortable and checking in to make sure there was nothing that was need. The groom and groomsmen had there own spot, I can only think of as the front of the train. It was so cute but pretty small for all the groomsmen. The location has so much beautiful grounds that no matter where the pictures were taken it was a great backdrop. If you're trying to find a venue I HIGHLY recommend this perfect venue to use.

I have used this venue for several life event celebrations. Cara is the most conscientious -- responsive and professional individual I have dealt with in my life. She goes above and beyond. She offers exceptional ideas too. She is in constant contact - night or day- to ensure all the details are perfect for the special day.

5 enthusiastic stars. I have had many life events on these grounds. Cara is the most professional and responsive person I have ever had the pleasure of working with. She always goes above and beyond to help and even provide great suggestions. I can't recommend a venue more

We got married here this past November and loved every aspect of this venue. We currently live in Kissimmee but we're willing to travel to Daytona for our wedding ONLY because of this venue. It is beautiful, and the amount you get for your money is better than all other venues in our budget. Cara was fantastic to work with and very responsive. The day of, everything was perfect. The venue staff even helped us clean up at the end of the night which was more than my coordinator did. We made jokes the whole planning process that even if we won the lottery, we'd still choose this venue.

My wife and I got married here 20 years ago. It is just as beautiful today. Highly recommend it as a wedding venue. The old church is a cozy spot to exchange vows and the grounds are spectacular for wedding photos.

Had my wedding here this weekend and it was absolutely perfect. The venue is beyond beautiful. Cara and her team were so professional… it’s a well oiled machine. I have zero complaints or critiques. It was all just amazing.

I don't even know where to start because 5 STARS and the word amazing does not do the Estate on the Halifax and team enough justice!! After watching the youtube tour of the Estate I thought, I need to go see this place now! In all honesty seeing it in person will blow you away, because the video tour was great, but in person it is actually a thousand times better!! We got married on 9.10.22 at The Estate, and it was BEYOND PERFECT! Not only is the venue one of the most beautifully manicured places I’ve ever been to for an event, Cara and her team/family are PHENOMINAL!! I wish I could give more than 5 stars because they deserve ALL THE STARS!! This location has all the charm! From the beautifully landscaped gardens, to the ornate on-site locations for day of wedding party prep, it was all so over the top!! This venue literally has it all!! I looked all over Florida for the perfect venue for our wedding, and nothing compares to this Estate! The gardens, the warm glow of the reception hall, the fun train car / man cave, the oh so sweet Agatha’s house with all the vintage charm, the whimsical oak trees, the lush greenery, a fun Snow White Cottage in the garden, the ponds, the statues… it literally checks ALL the boxes!! On top of the great things I just mentioned; the process was made so seamless! From our first chat at the open house on the Estate, to the contract, easy payment options, helping answer any questions quickly, then the meeting before the event, Cara was so on point and made it so easy on me!! She really was on top of everything, and anything I was worried about, she took care of it all!! You are wonderful and so appreciated!!!

We attended a wedding at this venue last weekend, and it was so beautiful! Unfortunately we had a rainy day, but you would never know we experienced the “Plan B” version. All staff members were extremely positive and helpful, the food was delicious, bartenders so friendly (even when a long line of eager customers), and the venue itself stunning. We had a wonderful time and feel lucky to have been guests to have had this experience!

We could not have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding. Cara and staff were excellent and I highly recommend trusting their judgement and going with the vendors on their list. We used Katherine Bloom Company for coordination (12/10 recommend if you're debating getting a coordinator DO IT), Arthur's Catering, Rachel Kasie Design for Florals, and Emotive Photo for photography.

What an amazing location to get married at! Stunning backdrops at every corner for beautiful photos and the atmosphere is heavenly. The reception hall is so cozy and perfect, to me it was the best wedding location I’ve ever been to. Absolutely perfect.
