I'm trying to find the right venue in Orlando. I want an indoor ceremony and reception at the same place. We are dancers and we have a lot of dancers coming to the wedding, so we need a sizeable dance floor. We were hoping to have a mid afternoon wedding so we would serve heavy hors'd'ovres instead of a sit down dinner. Is there anywhere you all can suggest? We do NOT want to get married at Disney or any of the resorts they have.
Re: Venues in Orlando?
I also want to mention, don't just assume that places are out of your budget until you ask them what they can do. When I first went to my venue I had calculated their cost to be about $7000 more than what I could possibly spend on them. When I went there I just said "here is what I can spend, here is what I want, are you able to help me?" They went out of their way to literally slash their prices almost in half for us. We still got everything we wanted.. full open bar.. multiple butler passed hor'dearves, full buffet dinner with 3 options.. the only good thing about this darn recession is wedding vendors need your business! Its always good to ask.. worst they can say is no!!
Best of luck!!!

By the way, this is just a sample. They can do anything for any budget....trust me!
Winter Park Civic Center is nice, they have an outdoors area for the ceremony, patio for cocktail hour, and inside for reception. The rental includes the venue from 11a - midnight
