Weddings

The perfect way to say I do

In the Orlando, Florida area, downtown Winter Park is the perfect location for a wedding and reception. Before your event, stroll the avenue, play a game of golf, eat and drink at the sidewalk cafes, or cruise on the lakes. At The University Club of Winter Park your wedding/reception will be on North Park Avenue, only two blocks from downtown. No other Winter Park wedding-reception venue has the location, on-site parking for up to 100 cars, and the elegant facility for wedding parties of up to 100 for a buffet and dancing, 120 for a sit-down dinner, or up to 200 for a cocktail style wedding reception.

The beauty of a Florida wedding is the ability to have outdoor activities. At The University Club of Winter Park you could have your wedding ceremony in our gazebo under a tall oak tree, and you would be only a few steps from the indoor banquet hall.

One corner room opens into our “gallery” area that can be used for overflow or a buffet area. There is a stage for a DJ or small band, and our honey oak flooring is great for dancing. We also have a baby grand piano available for rental.
