    It was a dream

    Mission Inn has become our home away from home. My husband and I went to so many venues around Florida; name a town, we looked. None of them felt right until we drove onto Mission Inn’s property. Everyone was so welcoming and accommodating. We fell in love with La Hacienda and Plaza de Palmas but always dreamed of an oak tree for our ceremony. Jessica made sure that dream came true. Our ceremony was a bit off the beaten path and could not have been more perfect for us. Kerry was our catering manager and she went above and beyond for us. She answered any and all questions and helped guide us every step of the way. I can’t say enough how thankful we are for her. Our wedding felt like a fairytale and all the little details were flawless. If there were hiccups, I was blissfully unaware of them because of how well managed everything was. We loved that our guests could stay on property when our reception went on into the night and we loved even more that we could do the same. Mission Inn’s team made sure we had champagne, food, and cake waiting for us in our room with a surprise gift to end the perfect night. We can’t wait to go back and celebrate our anniversary at our favorite place.

    The Mission Inn is a dream to work with!!

    The best choice we made while planning our wedding was choosing to have it at the Mission Inn. My mother suggested we have a look at the venue, as it was nearby another one we were touring. We really weren't thinking we'd end up choosing a golf resort as our venue, but they blew everyone else out of the water. They had many venue locations for us to look at and ended up falling in love with the Courtyard area at Legends. We were blown away by their packages and offers; it was the best of what we had seen offered out of all the other venues in Central FL we had looked at. We had also gone in December and were given a Black Friday deal where they provided the DJ. We booked in December 2019 for a March 2021 wedding. Of course, Covid had other plans, and we ended up deciding to push back our date to 2022. They were extremely helpful in getting us rebooked, it was fairly painless.

    We mainly worked with Helen R. She was fantastic! She saw to all of our needs and she made sure all of our questions and concerns were addressed. She was very communicative with us and gave us brilliant suggestions of vendors when we ended up having to move the date (as some of our previously selected vendors were not available on the new date). Helen really spent a lot of time going over the details of our wedding and making sure we were happy with the arrangements.

    We were hesitant to book a place that was going to provide the catering without having tried some of the food. We looked up other reviews about the Mission Inn and in nearly all of them; I mentioned that the food was great, so that won us over. So here's another review to attest to that! THE FOOD WAS AMAZING! We absolutely loved the food for our rehearsal dinner and for our reception! I am looking forward to being able to eat there for our future anniversaries!

    We enjoyed our honeymoon suite and our wedding guests said they liked their rooms. We really enjoyed relaxing by the pool. Our stay was overall really pleasant. My advice would be if you end up booking, have your guest book rooms EARLY for your wedding date!


    Each vendor we booked made comments about how they enjoyed working with the Mission Inn; almost like it was a relief to them we had booked Mission Inn for our venue. So that was comforting to know that as we were planning everything. Sure enough, there were no issues between the Mission Inn and our other vendors. The Mission Inn is -very- good at managing their weddings. While checking in the day before our wedding, I overheard a conversation where one of the staff informed a guest that there were SEVEN weddings happening that weekend. I was a little worried when I heard that, but really it was all fine; I saw hints that other weddings were going on, but never did I feel like I was sharing space with another bride, nor did our parties overlap at all.

    I can confidently say based on our experience, that booking with the Mission Inn is a solid decision. It's going to make your planning so much easier and you will have a fantastic day. We loved our wedding! We wish we could do it all over again. We loved it so much! Thank you to all the Mission Inn staff for making it a truly amazing day for us!!!
