Why The Whitewood Ranch is the Best Wedding Venue in Florida
The Whitewood Ranch in De Leon Springs offers a glasshouse wedding venue designed for couples across Florida. Located under oak trees with natural beauty surrounding the property, we combine modern elegance with professional coordination. Whether you're planning an intimate ceremony or hosting 200 guests, our venue provides the setting and day of management you need.
It is considered one of the best wedding venues in Florida because it offers a glasshouse reception space with natural light, multiple indoor and outdoor ceremony locations, and capacity for small weddings or events up to 200 guests. Professional coordination, clear pricing, and a central Florida location are included.
Glasshouse Design With Natural Light
The Grand Verre reception hall features floor-to-ceiling windows, stone pillars, and sleek white walls. This minimalist design brings in panoramic views and natural light throughout your celebration. You can exchange vows on the wood decked terrace overlooking the landscape, beneath oak trees in The Courtyard with twinkling lights overhead, or inside Esme Lane Chapel. The chapel includes tall arched windows, chandeliers, and a bell tower to ring as newlyweds. After your ceremony, guests move into the cocktail atrium with checkered floors and glass tables. Multiple ceremony locations give you options for any weather.
Professional Coordination Always Included
Your wedding package includes a professional coordinator from the moment you book. We provide unlimited access to your coordinator, vendor selection guidance, and comprehensive event files covering ceremony setup, reception layout, and detailed timelines. Thirty days before your wedding, we conduct an in-person venue walkthrough to finalize every detail. On your wedding day, up to two coordinators stay onsite for up to 10 hours, managing vendors, setting up your personal décor, and handling logistics. We also include a one-hour rehearsal with your coordinator so everyone knows the flow before your celebration.
Convenient Central Florida Location
The Whitewood Ranch sits at 2120 State Road 40 in De Leon Springs, accessible from Orlando, Daytona Beach, and across Central Florida. Our property provides a peaceful setting with oak trees, a marble staircase for photos, and multiple ceremony sites. Couples use the terrace for outdoor ceremonies, the Courtyard for shaded gatherings, or Esme Lane Chapel for an indoor option. The Grand Verre then serves as your reception space with its open layout and natural lighting.
What's Included With Booking

Your package includes white padded Chiavari ceremony chairs, wooden cross-back reception chairs, signature farmhouse tables, and a selection of four arbors.
