Yes! We want you to have the freedom to design the wedding of your dreams. Choosing your own vendors is a huge part of that. We require each vendor to be licensed and to provide liability insurance listing Ocala Estate as an additional insured. We also offer you a preferred vendor list if you need some assistance with finding options for your big day.

Absolutely! You will be greeted by an onsite concierge and will have access to the property manager during your entire visit on Ocala Estate. They can show you around and offer insight on the details such as Wi-Fi connection, etc. Unfortunately, the property manager is unable to assist with wedding details. We ask that these tasks remain with the wedding coordinator you hire.

Yes! We have dedicated space for parking in the rear of the property, out of site of the beautiful grounds. We offer valet service as an add on as well.

A non-refundable deposit and a signed contract are required to hold your date. This deposit is counted towards your outstanding balance. We have designed a payment plan for anyone who prefers to break up their payments. This includes a fully refundable security deposit.

The security deposit serves to protect our estate from damages that may occur during the use of the property. Once the property is inspected after your event is held the deposit will be returned to you if the property is returned back to its original state.

Your wedding can go until midnight and then we charge an additional fee for every hour after. It's a celebration, have fun!

Of course! A one-hour design meeting is included in your rental price. At that time our property manager will review the property layout and walk your vendors through the space to help plan the details of your event. If you require additional design meetings we will happily accommodate you for a small fee that can be added to your remaining balance.

We do allow the use of candles on the property as long as you adhere to the fire department regulations outlined in your contract.

You are allowed to serve alcohol as long as it is compliant with state and local alcohol laws. Serving alcohol to minors is always prohibited.

Permission can be granted upon your design meeting for the rearranging of any existing décor and/ or furniture. This must be specified at that time so arrangements can be made to safely move/ store any valuable pieces.

We are proud to showcase our beautiful Bridal Suite in the main house for the Bride and her Bridesmaids. It includes a full bathroom and powder room with makeup lights. The guest house, playfully called the Men’s Den, is a separate building in the back of the main house. It is the perfect spot for the men to hang out and get ready. It features a kitchenette, bar & a bathroom.

You are allotted more than 2 days for the rental. Check in starts as early as 9am on Friday and check out is at noon on Sunday. You can easily extend your time with prior approval for a fee.

Of course! We ask that all children under the age of 13 are supervised by an adult or designated babysitter at all times.

Our maximum capacity at the moment is 350 guests.

We ask that events are brought to a close each night no later than 11:30. If you are not contracted for overnight accommodations, we kindly as that everyone exits the property shortly after this time each night.

We are big animal lovers here at Ocala, and we would love to accomodate your pets to be apart of your ceremony. Please inform one of the property managers of your request to have your pet on site for the celebration during your ceremony. 

Yes! All indoor, lower level accommodations are wheelchair accessable. Since this is an outdoor venue, the majority of the grounds are grass.

We require a non-refundable deposit before we officially book your dates on our calendar. Any payments after this are also non-refundable except for the damage deposit. We will do our best to work with you to switch your dates around but a new deposit must be paid for the new booking.

Of course! We have a number of outdoor patio heaters available for your cooler weather events. Should it rain on your special day we offer umbrellas for the wedding party as well as guests.  Be sure to mention this to our staff if you are interested.

We are ready and prepared to be on site for your event in case of any extra accommodations needed.
