This was such a wonderful experience! From the very start, this was stress free. Kristen and her team took care of every single detail and made our wedding unforgettable. The setting, food, service, vendors, and Dubsdread staff are every single thing you could wish for. I am very grateful for all they did for our day.

From beginning to end, dubsdread was NOTHING but accommodating. I'll give my negatives first because everything else was positive. Deposits and such are all non-refundable, I noted on my account to not speak to anyone but me due to security issues and that was not honored, when you visit in person and go through the ballroom side often you'll find yourself waiting for someone to greet you. The \"holding area\" is small so you need to get ready elsewhere. And the bottom tier of food isn't that great, I found food quality differed everytime I ate it so I paid to upgrade.Now to ALL of the positive. I had David as my day of coordinator and David as my day of butler. They were AMAZING. I gave David everything needed the day before to setup and it looked EXACTLY like I asked. It was raining on the day of, like, monsoon. David waited until the VERY last minute and I was able to walk down the isle that I wanted, and get married infront of the tree that I wanted, to my now husband. I did a first look with my dad and they block off everything to make sure noone sees me until the ceremony. Can I talk about my butler?! He followed me around with my mojito, and my husband's drink on a tray with apps and LITERALLY put the straw in my mouth for me. Like, he was a dream to have. The food the day of was so good, I HIGHLY recommend the salmon and the borsin stuff chicken with risotto. SO delicious. I'm glad we spent the extra. They fill your plate up huge. Even though it was buffet style it was still so formal. If I went back in time, I'd still pick this venue. The drinks were amazing. The bartender apparently did a amazing job, my family loved it. Thank you dubsdread for making our day special and our dreams come true. Please pick this venue, i don't know how I would have done it without them

Dubsdread Ballroom is such a gorgeous venue with extremely helpful staff and wonderful catering. David was a fantastic coordinator to work with and made sure we had every detail ready. Bob was assigned as our personal butler and was a godsend throughout the night! Our guests had a blast and greatly enjoyed the food.

We loved this place. They were very efficient. David was an excellent coordinator. My daughter and son in law were very happy. All the guests raved how nice it was. I am the mother of the bride and was very happy with how in tune they were with everything. Kevin took care of both the bride and groom and the loved him. Can't say enough about this place.

He was readily available, flexible for changes we made up until 3 days before the wedding (thanks COVID 😓), and they even worked with us to create a special food dish that represented my husbands Indian culture.

Beautiful venue, incredible food, and above and beyond service! We are so glad we found Dubsdread. It had everything we were looking for. Most venues you have to bring in everything but there is so much ready and available on location. It really makes for an easy planning experience. The ballroom and outdoor areas are both beautiful and allow for stunning pictures but also allows for minimal decorations because it’s so unique and beautiful on its own. Big shout out to David (our coordinator) and Bob (our designated server) for going above and beyond and saving the day by finding my misplaced family heirloom just before I walked down the aisle! We had such great service throughout the day and everything ran so smoothly. You can’t go wrong with this venue for your special day.

Special shout out to Emma for the day of coordinating and arranging all the pre-wedding meetings and food tastings. The weather was an amazing 65 degrees and the outside area is a great venue. Both the cocktail and reception rooms are very warm and cozy with a wonderful view of the golf course and outdoor ceremony area. The beverage staff kept the spirts high and the glasses full .

10/10!!! We got married the morning of 4/3/21 and the day was perfection. Bonny was our amazing coordinator and we LOVE her!!! The food was amazing, they gave us the to-go meals and even included to-go meals of the 2 guests who couldn't make it. Our personal waiter kept us fed and hydrated as soon as we walked in and even in between pictures! It was so easy to just shoot an email to update with any guest count changes, until literally right up to the day. We did a open bar until consumption tab and they sent the left over money to us within a few days. Everything about the day was incredible. The day was truly relaxing and handled so professionally. Guests are still talking about the food and how fun the wedding was which solidifies even more-so that Dubsdread was the right choice for us. As someone who didn't want a traditional wedding, I am so so glad we did because we enjoyed every single aspect of it so much!

Couldn’t imagine getting married any where else! -The venue itself is stunning! We met in Louisiana and loved how the Spanish moss on the trees in the courtyard reminded us of home. The ballroom is dark and romantic but not too dark, with a perfect balance of rustic and elegant vibes.-The food is MOUTH WATERING! When we hired our other vendors/professionals, they got so excited when they heard we were using Dubsdread because they love the food! They even gave us recommendations on their favorites. Thankfully they also have a restaurant (the Tap Room) so we can continue to eat there!-David was FANTASTIC! As someone who is constantly worrying about small details and every little thing, I was so relieved that I didn’t have to do any of that because David had everything under control. Our day ran so smoothly and was so fun and it was all thanks to David!-Pricing was very reasonable. They offer several different ceremony/catering packages to choose from so they can make pretty much any budget work! Shanna was extremely helpful with explaining all of this to us at the very beginning.For us, the venue was pretty much THE most important thing and we could not have dreamed of a better venue. Dubsdread checked all of our boxes and then went above and beyond our expectations on our actual wedding day. I’d give 10 stars if I could!

The venue itself is beautiful . It definitely can use some upgrades , but it has a charm to it . I fell in love with this venue instantly . The food is fabulous . We had people talking about our delicious our food was the day after . Cons : you get shorted an hour than most venues . They give you a 30-45 minute cocktail “hour” and only give you about 4 hours to have your wedding . Whereas standard you usually get a full cocktail hour and 5 hours for your wedding . Also if you have a large “ rather loud bridal party” David is not going to be too impressed . He kept mentioning that after the ceremony he got better , but he definitely kept a game face on the entire time . He was wonderful and very helpful with planning and made our day run effortlessly , but definitely let’s you know he means business . Please go with your questions as most options you’ll have to ask for unless you’re okay with them being decided for you . (Example if your interested in an extra hour , moving props , what props to bring etc) We had asked to use wine barrels in our ceremony and was told an outrageous price to move them down two stairs , so we ended up renting from an outside venue . Which was a little upsetting considering the price. We added an hour to our night and it would have been nice to have those options discussed at meetings , but either way the night went on to be magical . The bridal room is teeny tiny , do not plan on getting ready in here . Ask to show up here the latest time possible . Pros : Our butler we had for the day was absolutely amazing ! He was there every second of photos , getting ready , etc . My wedding was a dream come true . It ran smoothly , it was elegant , and everyone there had the absolute best time . People were waiting on hand and foot. The staff was so prepared and as far as our planning process you don’t need to do much other than some light decor and pick out the food . For this reason I would always give dubsdread a high rating . BUT as a bride if you are worried it will feel too short ... it will . That extra hour makes all the difference . Other than that I would recommend for the ease!

Wonderful classy and beautiful venue. What sold it the most was how well everything is run and thought out. The catering is also part of the venue reservation and the food is exquisite. David was our coordinator and he is clearly an experienced professional. He knows all the ins and outs of a wedding ceremony/reception. The staff are all courteous and professional. They also provide the wedding party with their own butler who tends to your every need. I can not recommend them enough!

I don't even know where to begin! How can I say enough good things about Dubsdread? From beginning to end, the experience we had was incredible. From the very beginning of the planning process, we were met with such a welcoming feel from all the staff. After touring the venue, we immediately knew that this was where we wanted to have our big day. From the gorgeous outdoor ceremony courtyard right off the golf course with big, beautiful trees and cafe lights, to the indoor reception area with the rustic wooden beams and fireplace, the venue itself is breathtaking. We were paired with coordinator David who was wonderful from day one with not only communication but also making my husband and I feel at ease through the entire process. David was prompt with his responses and was always available when I had questions or ideas. Our original wedding date was in April, but due to Covid-19, we unfortunately had to postpone. The day we found out we reached out to David and he made the process effortless, even in such uncharted territories. We were able to postpone to a new date within a few hours. On the day of the wedding, David and the staff made us feel like royalty. We had our own personal butler, Juan, who waited on us hand and feet. Every time I turned around he had my drink of choice and food (which was wonderful for a bride who has enough to worry about and needs to eat!). Speaking of food, our friends and family are still raving about dinner! We did buffet style that included parmesan crusted chicken, salmon and a pasta bar. My entire day was stress free because I knew David and his team had it under control at all times. If I could give Dubsdread more stars I would. If you are comparing venues, take this as your sign. Dubsdread gave us the best day of our lives and we will forever cherish how beautiful it was.

Our guests were talking about the food and service a full week after the event, and they took so many precautions to keep all of our guests healthy and safe.

Dubsdread was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! From the first tour of the venue to our final send-off, we could not have asked for more. We planned our wedding from out of state which should have been more challenging but David was available to answer any question we had, scheduled tastings and meetings when we would be in Orlando, and always willing to talk ideas out on the phone. Our wedding night was spectacular - we did not worry about a thing! Everything unfolded flawlessly and we were able to enjoy our time as newlyweds and celebrate with our families and friends. The food was excellent, the service was top-notch, and the venue was beautiful. If you're looking for an amazing value and venue in the Orlando area, highly recommend Dubsdread. In fact, one of my friends booked Dubsdread for her reception later this year.

Everything about this venue is amazing. The staff, the food, the amenities provided, and everything in between. One of my favorite things they provided was a group tasting where you can request food items you would like to try and experience the food like a guest would. AMAZING. DELICIOUS. They also had a long sit down meeting with us two weeks out to go over all of the details - big and small. David was our day of coordinator and you can tell he has been doing this for a long time. He made sure everything went smoothly and if anything went wrong I didn't know about it! David was quick to respond to emails or phone calls when I had questions about absolutely anything. I didn't have to worry about a thing the day of our wedding and we were able to bring all of our decorations the day before at the rehearsal. We had Juan as our personal butler and he was SO prepared. Started to rain and he appeared with an umbrella. Saw me without a drink and he appeared with a glass of prosecco. He brought us the appetizers after our ceremony, made us plates of food during our reception, and made sure we got dessert and the late night snack. Customer service was outstanding. They think of everything! Not to mention the venue is GORGEOUS! Beautiful oak trees with string lights for the ceremony and the interior was equally as beautiful. The woodwork, stone fireplace, a gorgeous chandelier. Seriously. Everything was amazing. I don't have a single bad thing to say about Dubsdread.

From the beginning of the planning process everything was made so simple, it almost felt too easy and was worrying me for a little bit.

I cannot say enough about how fabulous the team at Dubsdread is! Our wedding coordinator, David, made the process seamless, stress-free, and incredibly fun. Like many couples, this was our first time planning a wedding and, to be frank, we had no idea how intricate the details can become. David walked us through all of the options, explaining each of them and helping us every step of the way. The food here is delicious (we nearly had to be rolled out of the tasting session) and the attention to detail immaculate. Dubsdread's team put together our tables exactly as we asked, coached us through the ceremony and reception, and made sure we didn't have to sweat the small stuff. Thanks to David and team, there was zero stress on our big day, and our \"personal butler\" Bob (he's the real MVP) made sure we had food and drinks the entire time. The value for this venue cannot be overstated. We looked at several venues and none offered this level of expertise and service for the price. Best of all, the beautiful backdrop of that big oak tree out in the courtyard and the rustic feeling inside the dining room made for a picture perfect wedding. If you're looking for somewhere to get married in Central Florida, look no further!

FLAWLESS! I can't say enough great things about this venue. We had our reception at Dubsdread about a month ago and WOW, just WOW! From the beginning of my planning to the day of the wedding, David (our coordinator at Dubs) was on top of it. First off, I truly appreciated his prompt communication when i had questions via email or phone. He was clear and precise as to where our budget was going, everything was laid out on paper for our reference. As a bride, the most frustrating thing to me from vendors was lack of communication! Not David, he was AMAZING.Fast forward to our wedding day, I was speechless when I saw how beautiful the ballroom was. Literally transformed into everything I had dreamed of. Service by the staff was A++. We had our own butler, Bob, who made sure the Bride and Groom got fed and never had an empty glass. Bob was our best friend, what a great amenity Dubsdread offers! The food was to die for, I still have guests talking about it. Even our guests that had food allergies enjoyed their meals! We went with the Gold Premium food package, a last minute upgrade that did not disappoint!Overall, we have ZERO NEGATIVE things to say about Dubsdread. They checked all the boxes for us and the venue itself is just gorgeous. Do yourself a favor and take the stress out of Venue searching, Dubsdread for the WIN!

Highland Manor was the first and only venue we looked at. The second we saw the gorgeous property, we knew this is where we wanted our wedding. Throughout our complicated international planning process, the staff was always amazing at responding to emails. And then we met Bonny, our assigned wedding coordinator (big bonus that someone like her comes with the venue). BONNY IS THE BEST. She worked with us to make our dreams come true and worked around tight schedules of time when we would be in Orlando. During the entire process, I never once felt overly stressed because as soon as something would cross my mind, I’d email Bonny and she would get back to me within a couple hours. We handed over all our decorations the day before the wedding and Bonny and HM staff brought our vision to life in a more magical way than we could ever have imagined. Our wedding day was perfect! If something went wrong, we never heard about it! Bob, our butler during the wedding, constantly made sure we had drinks and made sure we ate as well. I hear nightmares about the bride and groom starving but we never had that problem. All our guests raved about the food. The potato bar was AMAZING! It’s a must do. One thing worth mentioning is I definitely didn’t feel like an hour and a half to 2 hours before the ceremony was enough time at the venue so we paid a little extra to get into the bridal suite and grooms room an hour earlier. It was definitely worth it. Get married here. You won’t be sorry! Thank you Highland Manor and Bonny!

My husband and I chose Dubsdread for our ceremony and reception. From the booking process, to the day of our wedding everything was amazing. David, our wedding coordinator was so fantastic. He made sure everything ran smoothly from the moment we stepped foot on property until the moment we left for the night. He even helped with my bustle before the reception started! Our head server Bob was truly wonderful. We never went without drinks. He checked in constantly to make sure the food was okay and to see if we needed anything. He even brought us appetizers while we were taking photos. Our families could not stop raving about the service provided by Dubsdread. We had guests coming up to us all night and continuously telling us this was the best wedding food they'd ever had. Thank you so much to everyone at Dubsdread for making our wedding day truly special.

I got married here on March 31 this year. Venue is beautiful but the staff is difficult to work with ( you need them, they don't need you). Wedding was great until we were taking our pictures by the course, by the course not on it, when a drunk of duty employee decided to start complaining that we are taking too many pictures and holding up everyone's game! 2k an hour is what this is going to run you, you' ve been warned. Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, ours was ruined by old, nasty., bitter golfers who are bent at the world!

When touring venues I was so impressed with the level of professionalism and organization of Dubsdread. I viewed several of the sites their catering department works with and ultimately decided on Dubsdread Ballroom for our ceremony and reception - I fell in love with the beautiful rustic decor in the ballroom. Working with them was so easy - they were responsive, informative, and the tasting they hosted for their couples was so much fun. David was our coordinator and our meetings with him were efficient and incredibly thorough - and usually fun. They left absolutely no detail unplanned and we were confident our wedding day would go smoothly - which it did. Right before our ceremony, the Florida rain was threatening to move us inside, but Dubsdread handled it so efficiently and waited until the last minute to call it so that we got to get married outside. For the reception, David had told us we’d have a personal butler for the event but we weren’t prepared for the VIP treatment - we had drinks and food handed to us all night and Jim took care of our every need so that we could just relax and have fun. The service was so incredible, the food was amazing, and the space was perfect for our wedding of about 88 people. There were probably snafus I don’t even know about that the staff just handled. We could not be happier and our guests absolutely loved every minute - cannot recommend it highly enough to anyone looking for a wedding venue in Orlando!Other notes: -Parking is plentiful and free-They handled allergies/special dietary needs like pros-The outdoor and indoor spaces are both beautiful - it was difficult to find an indoor ceremony option in Florida that didn’t feel like a second rate plan B, but I’d have been happy to get married either inside or out at DubsdreadThe only tiny downsides to Dubsdread:-The area for getting ready for the women is just a small room off the bathroom. We did a first look so didn’t even need it, but it definitely lacks the facilities of some other venues-if it rains, photo opps are a bit more limited since you only really have the ballroom, but we did ours in there and they turned out well

Where can I even begin? Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, and the Dubsdread team was a huge reason why!! From the beginning, the Dubsdread team was so helpful - they answered my (multiple) questions immediately and were incredibly flexible with any changes. We had Bonny as our coordinator and she was perfect. I had DIY centerpieces, since we had a small wedding and I wanted to keep everything as low cost as possible, and she took all of the decor I brought with me and made everything look even more gorgeous than I could have ever imagined! I was seriously amazed by how she arranged everything! She is magic! She even tried to bustle my dress by herself (my dress turned out to be incredibly complicated, but she tried!). I was also so impressed with our butler, Richard. He went above and beyond for the entire day, helping not just me and my husband, but our parents and the entire bridal party as well. As we were taking our bride and groom portraits after the ceremony, Richard was there with a tray of drinks in one hand and carrying my train with the other!! He was always quick to refill our drinks and make sure we had everything we needed, and he even joined us on the dance floor for a few minutes at the end of the night! He was truly amazing and we were so thankful to both him and Bonny!I truly had a perfect wedding day. Everything went so smoothly, the food was absolutely delicious, and above all, I felt truly cared for. The Dubsdread team does a wonderful job of making sure every one of your needs is taken care of. They even sent us off with two huge takeout boxes of food (and cake!) and had all of our things packed up and loaded into the car within 15 minutes after the reception was over. I am so incredibly happy we chose to get married at Highland Manor!

I can't even begin to explain how amazing our wedding was at Highland Manor. From the day we happened to stop in when they happened to be giving tours, to the day of, Bonny and her team were AMAZING. They treated us like VIP's and made the planning process so much easier. Gion (sp?), was our \"butler\" for the day of the wedding and he was OUTSTANDING! He was genuinely friendly, personable, and willing to do whatever we needed to make our day easy and special. The food was top notch (especially the mini-chicken cordon bleu appetizers!), and our buffet was a hit. I didn't hire a wedding planner and certainly didn't need one--Bonny was creative and did an AMAZING job with our decorations. All I had to do was drop them off the day of the rehearsal, and she created magic. They even treated our pooch like a gentleman!Highland Manor is clean, regal, and the perfect venue if you want old charm and beauty. There is magic at that place--it even held off the 60% chance of rain and potential heat and humidity during the ceremony under the live oak tree.I recommend Dubsdread Catering for any even, large or small!

Yes, yes, yes, yes YES! We had our cocktail hour and reception at Dubsdread on April 22 - we could not have been happier. First, the service they provide while planning the event is top notch. We wanted to add our own \"flavor\" to our reception, and David and the team worked with us to create a custom menu - we were so thankful. They worked with us to get the menu perfect, and it was! The food was delicious and they were so open to all of our ideas. David and team made planning SO EASY. We used all three areas, Florida room and outside were perfect for the cocktail hour. We set up cornhole on the patio and guests loved it. David made the wedding so stress free for me! From the pre-wedding planning, the drop of right before, and the night of the event. They were overly accommodating and worked within our budget to help us create the perfect event. You cannot go wrong working with the people - they do not nickle and dime you, and they make the experience SO FUN! The night of the event was flawless. They were so attentive to us as the bride and groom, and the guests raved about the service. And of course... the venue itself is so beautiful! I liked to call it Rustic Chic and also casually elegant. It was outstanding. I can't recommend this venue enough. We even opted out of a cake, and Dubsdread was ok with us bringing the Jeremiah's Ice Cream truck on premise - it was a hit! The day of coordination is incredible, and they took care of all of the clean up. The food is outstanding. The venue is gorgeous. But use Dubsdread because of their service!! Take it from a type-A, high strung bride.... this is the place for you!

David and CJ were amazing. My wife and I had our wedding here and things couldn't have gone better. A lot of people have horror stories or talk about things that went wrong on their wedding day, but we have none of those and that's thanks in large part to our two wedding coordinators and this great venue they work for. We had a bit of a destination wedding having lived in Orlando before, but now living in New York, but David went above and beyond in helping make things easy for us. He took care of everything we needed in one face-to-face meeting and one final phone call. That's it. In that short amount of time he managed to get everything he needed to make our wedding flawless. CJ deserves a special shout out for being the \"day of\" MVP. Whether it was finding one of our readers she had never met, or holding a fan under my wife's dress to give her a bit of relief from the Florida heat, CJ came through every time we put another difficult or...interesting task on her plate. I think the best part about working with Dubsdread is their relationship with vendors. Anyone we booked, they had worked with before and knew exactly what information we needed to get to them to make things go well. We followed David's instructions and put our trust in the same vendors they trusted, and had nothing to worry about all day long. If there is one critique I have of the whole experience it would be the lighting. While the strands of lights they have in the rafters of the main reception room are beautiful - and come free with booking the venue! - they were not enough to thoroughly light the reception. We had a little uplighting around the room, but the reception overall was a little dark because of this. It didn't matter much since most of the evening was dancing and no one needs light for that, but dinner was done in fairly dark circumstances. But that's it! One very minor critique that I had to really think about in order to give a little balance to the glowing praise I have for Dubsdread, David, and CJ. If you're considering Dubsdread, definitely give it a visit. If you visit and you like it, book it. You will not regret it. My wife and I got the wedding of our dreams with zero stress because of this place and these people. I can not possibly thank them enough.

Dubsdread is beautiful and our wedding day was absolutely PERFECT. Unfortunately we did not have the greatest experience with the team at Dubsdread leading up to our special day. During the first few months of our planning we were shuffled around to a different coordinator 3 times. Group tastings are held throughout the year and we were told that we would be contacted about the date, in which they forgot to include us. The coordinator gave us the option of a private tasting where we could choose to sample 10 items from the menu, which was very disappointing, since we had an h'ordeurves wedding package with 7 items for our wedding. They corrected the error by putting together a group tasting and giving us a private tasting as well. Everything wasgoing much better at the time. I was pretty much fed up when a week before my wedding, my wedding planner informed me that the Dubsdread team contacted her and told her the vendors, who were scheduled to arrive at 12pm to set up, could not come until 1pm because they accidentally double booked our wedding day with an earlier event. Our contract stated that we had a guaranteed 2 hours before the wedding to set up. I was floored. Not only was it a week until our wedding, but they never bothered to contact my mother or I personally! It was a breech of contract and was handled very poorly by the Dubsdread team. So bad, that my then fiance sent an email to Dubsdread, which then prompted the owner of Dubsdread to contact me personally. He assured me that the wedding would be perfect. At the time I was so upset that I did not even want to get married there. But, 1 week out, how was I to change my wedding location after the invitations went out? We had to just let it go and leave it all on Dubsdread to come through with their promise. They did! Our wedding day was absolutely beautiful and perfect! I do still feel that if I could go back to the day we signed the contract, I would not have gone with Dubsdread. Even though the day was perfect, I would have chosen a different location because of the all the stress that it caused in the months leading up to the big day.

Not only are the house and the grounds a complete dream come true, but the staff there is unreal. Bonnie is the best coordinator you will ever meet-- she knows her stuff, is always cool and confident, and is basically a fairy godmother. Our \"butler\" for the day was \"G,\" who I pretty much want to be my best friend. He knew how to do anything I needed, from bustling my dress to magically producing eyelash glue from his pocket. I really am at a loss for words as I try to write a review that does the staff and venue justice. And the FOOD! We had breakfast for dinner, and every single person at my wedding stopped to tell us that it was THE BEST breakfast they had ever had in their lives. The Highland Manor made all of my wedding dreams come true, and then some. I was never stressed, never worried that something wouldn't go just right, and I was never disappointed.

I cannot recommend Dubsdread highly enough. A big part of the reason we chose this venue (other than the fact that it’s GORGEOUS) was the endless reviews of their amazing customer service, so we came in with super high expectations. The Dubsdread staff still managed to BLOW US AWAY. I could write an entire separate review on just how amazing our coordinator Christine was to work with—she was friendly and helpful all throughout our planning process, our meetings often ran over just because we were having so much fun chatting with her, and she did a perfect job on our day of making sure everything ran perfectly. Even when we had to defect to a rain plan she handled it wonderfully—working as hard as she could to keep the outside option open and keep me involved in the decision, and then once the decision was made taking everything else out of my hands and taking the initiative to get creative with our reception decorations to make the indoor ceremony so beautiful that most people assumed we planned it that way. Every other member of Dubsdread’s staff was just as incredible—attentive to our needs, helpful to our guests, and just so flipping friendly. The food was fantastic (we know, because our amazing head waiter packed to go boxes for us so we could actually eat it later) and all of our guests had an incredible time.

Dubsdread offers a range of value too. You can have a lavish evening reception or a casual morning brunch. I opted for the second and saved money big time! Having a morning wedding reduced the venue rental cost by $1,000, saved us hundreds on liquor, and allowed for a brunch buffet, which was a big hit and affordable.Every wedding gets a Coordinator who manages the staff and handles so many of the details the day of. Andrew did a great job taking care of us. He knows weddings back-and-front, and he knew OUR wedding. He kept everything on schedule, made sure important details weren't overlooked, had back-up plans for the back-up plans, and helped us through every emergency (ex: I dropped a strawberry leaving red stains on my and my mother's dresses, and Andrew had instant stain removal wipes at the ready). We had unexpected stormy weather, and the Dubsdread expertly moved our ceremony from the Courtyard to the Florida Room as if the ceremony were always planned to be in there. They managed a flawless transition to the reception in the Ballroom. Andrew and the staff worked hard to create an impeccable experience for guests.I do want to mention a problem we had. We selected the Pork Loin with Cinnamon Apple Raisin Reduction to be the main course after loving it at a tasting event. Somehow, there was miscommunication, and a completely different pork loin was served. Our guests didn't notice, but we were still disappointed. When it came to Andrew's notice, he had the kitchen prepare the cinnamon reduction for guests and offered us $100 back.Reasons to book Dubsdread: Beautiful venue, great food and many options, good value, flawless experience for guests, well-prepared staffAdvice: Make sure coordinator checks every detail with the kitchen staff

we are so happy we chose Dubsdread for our wedding venue, not only is it a beautiful location and looks awesome inside the ballroom but the service was outstanding. we met with our coordinator at Dubsdread, David several times before the big day to ask questions and go over details. by the way, we loved having him as a coordinator. we had no need to even hire a day of planner which can get pricey. we brought all of our decorations there the day before at our rehearsal and voila everything was set up just perfectly even though we didn't tell him where everything was supposed to go. it was my one day to be a princess and I felt like one! we had our own personal head waiter who was amazing he made sure we were good on our drinks of choice (we told them what they were at one of our meetings) and even made sure we got some appetizers during the photo shoot! when I was dancing at the reception doing the twist, one of my cap sleeves came unstitched and one of the employees saw it happen and motioned me over to her and she saved me by grabbing a safety pin to pin it back to the dress so I could keep on going. I have nothing but good things to say about Dubsdread and both my husband and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a venue and we were both completely if not overly satisfied. we also liked the fact that the food was made right on site and it was flawless. the first dance finished, our officiant said a prayer and bam the salads were there, they had enough staff so that all the tables received their food at the same time (we did a plated dinner) I was so impressed. at the end of the night they were super quick to pack everything up and get the stuff into my moms car. no one attending our wedding as a guest had to clean anything up which was super worth it too. our event was a Sunday night and we extended it an extra hour (I would recommend not doing that on a Sunday night because most people leave early for work the next day) and so we ended up ending the event early and our coordinator David contacted our getaway vehicle company and got them to come early so it was totally stress free. thank you so much Dubsdread for making the wedding of our dreams!

I recently just had a wedding here and it was amazing. We had the ceremony outside, and used the Florida Room and Ballroom for the reception area. It really was a magical experience. The staff were on top of everything the whole night and my guests were treated great (doors held for them, etc). I had Christine as my planner and she was perfect. Everything went smoothly and there really aren't enough words to express how much I would recommend this venue. Also, the food (dubsdread catering) was awesome! I am still receiving compliments on it when I talk to people that attended. I also suggest getting the bridal suite and taking the long entrance by the restaurant to walk down the aisle. If you want a rustic chic/fairytale wedding, this is the place! THANK YOU for the great time. I wish I could rate more than 5 stars.

He was always there when I needed him but not overbearing at all. I have received so many compliments about the food from our wedding, some saying it was the best wedding food they have ever had!

We instantly fell in love with Dubsdread when we toured, and knew we didn’t have to look anywhere else. From the lovely tree where we had our ceremony, to the rich wood interior and stone fireplace, we had the perfect ambience for our intimate fall wedding.\r\rThe food (hit or miss at most weddings) was very good. We got the upgraded buffet option, and there was so much food! We received compliments on it from many of our guests, including most of our parents’ friends. \r\rFrom the moment we put our deposit down, to the final goodbyes on the night of the wedding, we felt like royalty whenever we had to deal with the staff. The staff remembered us and the details of our wedding at all meetings, our questions were answered in a timely manner, and we never got hassled or the feeling that things would be forgotten/neglected. We knew we were in good hands. \r\rThe day of the wedding, we each had a staff member assigned to us to make sure we had food, drink, or anything else we needed to make things go smoothly. We will never forget the waiter following us around with a portable tray of appetizers and drinks on the golf course while we took pictures! Little details like that made the night memorable.\r\rSo many friends and family have commented that our wedding was one of the best they’ve been to, and I think that’s in large part due to the quality and professionalism of the staff and the absolutely beautiful venue at the Dubsdread. We could not have picked a better location, and we will definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a venue for any special event.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Dubsdread Ballroom. We had our ceremony and reception in the ballroom. We worked with the same coordinator, David, throughout the process and he made everything so simple, but took extra time to make it personalized to us and special. This team answers your questions next day. The best part is that they take care of food, set-up and day-of coordination and it is all included in the price. This was great for us since we did not have a wedding planner and made most of the décor ourselves. We met several times before our wedding so we always felt comfortable with the planning. The rehearsal was a breeze, we dropped off our décor with a list of placement instructions that day and the day-of the ballroom looked even better than we imagined! David was there the whole day, making sure we were informed and were enjoying ourselves. There was an issue with our cake getting there late, but David did not let us worry ourselves with that. He took care of everything! Also, they provide the bride and groom with a specialized server to take care of our needs the whole day which was wonderful. No standing in line at the bar or waiting for food. Anything we needed, they took care of. Everyone commented on how delicious our breakfast buffet was (Oaks brunch). This entire team obviously cares about what they do and are extremely creative at planning. We had 50 people and they made it feel so intimate and special. They came up with ideas for us to re-purpose items throughout the day, which saved us money. As a bonus, we had an estimate for our cash bar that we did not hit and they REFUNDED us the extra money that our Guests did not drink. Refreshing to have a team of wedding experts try to SAVE you money. We would highly recommend this venue and team to everyone. You will have the most special and relaxed day of your lives.

He was fun, professional and really took our vision and brought it to life. And the food! Oh my god.

We chose Dubsdread for the historic look of the venue and the ability to have part of it indoors and part out, with a perfect rain plan if needed. But what I didn't expect is how Dubsdread would make planning my daughter's wedding from 7 hrs away sooo much easier! Their entire team works so well together and if you email or call, you will receive a response that day. They were so helpful in recommending good vendors, so organized and accommodating to my extensive list of decorations that we transported by U-Haul, and open to my ideas. Chef Dano knocked it out of the park with ALL of the food, (we offered 3 entree choices) especially the gluten free needs of the bride and 5 family members. David, our day of coordinator, was such a pleasure to work with and saved the day when red wine was spilled all the way down my daughters dress and he brought in a basket of Shout Wipes that made it completely disappear. Then when our ring bearer left his gift there and cried himself to sleep, David immediately found it and mailed it to him the next day. Pros are endless, cons - zero. The entire wedding was relaxing and went off without a hitch!

I recently got married at Highland Manor, which let me say is unbelievably beautiful! All of the pictures were gorgeous and my head server blew me away with his dedicated service. However, after speaking with SEVERAL guests following our honey moon we learned of many careless errors on Highland Manors part. One for example included the guests not having water at their table until very late in the evening. A few tables were skipped for appetizers and were then delivered to them in the middle of the entree. Also, we were never informed of the \"quality\" of the food would be so poor for the main dish which included pasta and small pieces of chicken cut up in it. At our food tasting we were blown away with the spectacular foods they had to offer. We knew what types of the food we were getting and the food at the wedding was no where close to what we sampled at the tasting. \rI will say the appetizers were fantastic but that doesn't make up for the fact that I didn't even eat our own food because it was such low quality. \rI was under the impression that we were not special enough to receive the type \"service\" that is promised to you at your initial meeting. \rIt's sad that we have heard how disappointed many guests were with the food including our family whom paid a ridiculous amount of money for this venue.

My rehearsal dinner was held at \"The Taproom at Dubsdread\" on the outside veranda/patio. \rPros:The food was delicious, and the location was beautiful. They had a set menu that include items such as: Burgers, Chicken sandwiches, Fish and chips, Fish tacos, Apple almond chicken salad, Caesar salad w/ grilled chicken, Alpine chicken (bride's choice!), and all entrees included coffee, tea, soda or one beer/house wine. Each person received a pre-printed menu with the bride and groom's name and food selections.\rCons: Poor service!!! The restaurant arranged the tables so that members of the party were separated into tables of 4, with the bride and groom placed away from the rest of the wedding party. As the bride, I asked for the tables to be re-arranged (we reserved the ENTIRE patio and there was plenty of room), but the server and asst. manager refused to move the tables together. When the groomsmen began rearranging the tables, the staff scolded them and made the tables be moved back. Also, the beverage selections weren't clear about alcohol on the pre-printed menus, so I asked the server if refills on alcohol were included in the price. I was told yes. The information the server supplied the wedding party with was incorrect, and I found out after the wedding that my in-laws were stuck paying a bar tab for 25 people. \r\rI would recommend this vendor for the food quality and location, but beware the service staff.

I got married at the Dubsdread Ballroom and Golf Course in Florida. They were all really helpful and help me decide the best options for my wedding. After reviewing many places, this was the best due to location, pricing, and it is simply a very pretty ballroom. They always called me back when I needed them and responded to my emails. I got a little anxious and wanted help on certain details and they were able to help me with those too. \rAt the wedding, they were all there helping me, overseeing that everything worked correctly, and I can say they were a great help, cause getting married is pretty chaotic. Unfortunately, I could not have my wedding outside (rain) and things got a little disorganized when I wanted to take pictures with only family outside, but I guess it is normal, so I don't complain on that to them, it was out of their control.\rOne of the negatives I should say was that the wine they offer is not a great brand, we had them give us a better one but it wasn't available the whole night, I heard some of my guests saying that the bar did not have any more red wine... \r\rOther than that, the decoration was flawless, they were all great and David, who I worked with the most was phenomenal!\r

Highland Manor—A++\rWow! What can I say about Highland Manor except that they were truly exceptional. When we were searching for a wedding reception venue, I was overwhelmed with the costs for wedding receptions in Orlando. My daughter did not want the typical hotel reception, so many venues were ruled out because of that. We had narrowed it down to Art Museum, History Center, Maison Jarden, and Dubsdread. On the recommendation of a wedding planner we checked out Highland Manor and chose it because it offered a reasonable package, could accommodate the number of guests, and we had the venue to ourselves during the reception. It also met her criteria for a “Victorian Rustic” themed wedding.\r\rWe were assigned David as our planner at the final tasting. He worked hard to meet Katelyn's budget needs suggesting items to add or take away as needed to meet her criteria.\r\rAfter meeting with David and Corey, I don’t think they realized how detailed oriented Katelyn and I were, but on our final walk through he understood how important it was to the two of us (we have been doing prom for our high school for over 10 years and to her details were very important). When we arrived for dropping off the 17ft truck full of wedding décor, table cloths, etc, I think I overwhelmed him again but when he realized how everything was organized, he was pleased and looked forward to seeing it on Saturday night but I still worried that I should have paid someone to do all the details But alas, I couldn’t be two places at once so I left it in David’s hands. \r\rWhen we arrived at Highland Manor on Saturday at 5 p.m. for cocktail hour, I was immediately met by David and given a tour of every little detail. IT WAS PERFECTION to the MAX. He understood Katelyn’s vision and it was perfect. Katelyn and Ryan arrived a few minutes after David and I were talking and she was overjoyed! She was so excited….her vision of pink was perfect! They even finished directional chalkboard signs that I ran out of time to do. They paid attention to all the details that were there and made sure they were perfect.\r\rWe booked an extra hour with Highland Manor, with the option of going an additional hour if needed. I think the extra hour was definitely needed. We could have easily used the additional hour, but since transportation had been arranged we decided to only go the five hours. \r\rWe were told that Katelyn and Ryan would have their own waiter throughout the evening…..and they did. He was so attentive to their every need, making sure they had a drink at all times….made sure they ate dinner, and even tied Katelyn sash to her dress when she needed fixed. The packed a box of food for them for the hotel, including their wedding cake, grooms cake, cookies from their cookie bar and candy from their candy bar. The details to them were just as important to them as they were to us.\r\rThe wedding reception food was excellent, the guests were well served and enjoyed their experience. The bar service was excellent and the servers were outstanding. \r\rSo now I had over 60 boxes to be loaded back into the truck, their staff boxed everything up, loaded into the truck with an hour after the end of the reception, it was ready to go. \r\rOutstanding service, friendly and courteous staff and my husband, Katelyn and Ryan and myself could not be more pleased with Highland Manor. I would highly recommend Highland Manor for any event.

We had our wedding here in April and everything went 100% perfect. I can't imagine feeling more comfortable with all my plans, and David, our day of coordinator, really knew exactly what he was doing. The food was awesome, the price was right, and everything went without a hitch. Highly recommend!

Dubsdread is the perfect place to get married in Orlando, if you don't want that Hotel look. David, our day of coordinator, took care of everything for us. It rained, we even had hail and a tornado watch, but I didn't know anything about it. They took care of it all and I had the time of my life. My wedding was absolutely perfect because of them.

We decided on Dubsdread after touring a number of venues (and even having put a deposit on another one.) I am SO glad that we went with them because they made sure everything was absolutely perfect for our wedding. The entire staff was responsive to all of my questions leading up to the wedding no matter how trivial they may have been (Christiana was super helpful!) \r\rThe food is nothing short of SPECTACULAR. We had a hard time deciding on what to serve after the tasting because everything was just so good! Everyone loved our food and are still talking about it weeks later! \r\rMost of all though, I have to mention our coordinator, David. He was assigned to us about a month before the wedding and I enjoyed working with him for our final meeting and during the rehearsal. However; I had no idea how valuable he would truly be until the wedding day itself. David made sure that everything ran smoothly (if there was a problem, I certainly never knew about it) and he was just perfect! He was there when I needed him, but not in an intrusive way. He genuinely cared about my happiness and made sure that my special day went off without a hitch! \r\rI would recommend Dubsdread to ANY bride. They are reasonable from a cost perspective (more so than most of the other venues we looked at) but more importantly, they helped make my dream wedding a reality. A huge thanks to the whole Dubsdread team, and especially David!

I couldn't ask for more! Cathie and the entire staff were always responsive and always made me feel like they listened and cared about my wedding as if it was the only wedding! I didn't feel like they were churning out a ton of weddings day in and day out and I was just another number - I felt like this at many other places we visited before choosing Dubsdread. My event coordinator, David, was always nice and helpful as well and was able to make me feel at ease when the wedding stress set in. My day was absolutely perfect thanks to them! The food is fabulous too and not over priced. Everything was hot, fresh and out on time. I couldn't be a happier Mrs.! Thank you!
