Host Your Wedding Reception with Ease at The Whitewood Ranch's Flexible Spaces
The Whitewood Ranch in De Leon Springs provides reception spaces designed to simplify your celebration. Our glasshouse venue handles the logistics while you enjoy time with guests. From the moment your ceremony ends to your final dance, our team manages setup, coordination, and breakdown. You focus on celebrating while we handle the details.
A wedding reception can be hosted with ease by using a flexible glasshouse space that accommodates up to 200 guests, includes tables and seating, and offers multiple layout options. Coordinators handle timelines, vendors, setup, and breakdown. The full-day rental allows time for preparation, celebration, and cleanup without rushing.
Reception Hall With Panoramic Views
Our main reception space holds up to 200 guests in a modern glasshouse setting. Wide windows bring in panoramic landscape views, and stone pillars add architectural interest without overwhelming the clean design. The open floor plan works with rectangular farmhouse tables and wooden cross-back chairs included in your package. Natural lighting throughout the day means your reception photos capture the atmosphere without requiring extra equipment.
Flexible Reception Layout Options
The Grand Verre adapts to different reception flows. You can host your ceremony elsewhere on the property and move guests into the reception hall, or flip the same space from ceremony to reception with an extended cocktail hour. Our coordination team handles furniture placement for either approach. The rectangular farmhouse tables are arranged in various configurations, and we manage all setup so your reception space is ready when guests arrive.
Coordination Makes Reception Effortless
Your package includes a coordinator who manages the reception timeline and vendor flow. We conduct a 30-day venue walkthrough to finalize table placement, the ceremony arbor you select from our four options, and personal décor items you bring. On your wedding day, up to two coordinators stay for 10 hours to set up your items, direct vendors, and collect everything at the end. You receive comprehensive event files showing your reception floorplan and detailed schedule. This hands-on management means you experience your reception as a guest, not an organizer.
Everything Included for Reception Success
We include white padded Chiavari chairs for ceremonies and wooden cross-back chairs for receptions. Our signature farmhouse tables seat your guests, and the setup and breakdown of all furniture happens without any effort from you. A licensed and insured bartender works your reception, whether you stock your own bar or select a package. Two three hour photoshoot sessions come with your booking for engagement or other pre-wedding photos. All taxes and fees are included in the pricing, which is split into three payments.

This timeframe gives you a full day to prepare in our bridal and groom suites, host your ceremony, and celebrate your reception without feeling rushed.
