Are you still looking for the perfect Orlando Hotel Wedding Venue to say your “I Dos” at? Well, we have a solution for you! Located in the heart of quaint Winter Park, Florida, The Alfond Inn is a luxury boutique hotel experience for you & your guests. We love working with their team and can’t wait for you to stop by!
This newer property has already outgrown its original space and they are building an addition next door, set to open soon! Owned by Rollins College, The Alfond Inn was partially funded by a grant from the Harold Alfond Foundation and its profits are used to endow a scholarship fund at the school. The hotel is on the former site of the Langford Inn, which hosted high-profile guests including Eleanor Roosevelt, June Carter Cash, and Nancy and Ronald Reagan, who celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary there. Even though the building is newer, it is so cool to know that there is some history to the land too! Our favorite part of this property is the art around the lobby, that often double as photo opportunities.
If you have searched or toured other Orlando Hotel Wedding Venues in the past, you know that they come in all shapes and sizes. Some are vast and can hold thousands of guests in multiple areas of the property, and some are small and unique. The Alfond Inn falls in the latter category. They use the term boutique quite often, in every sense of the word. There are 112 guest rooms on property, an award-winning restaurant and pool for you & your guests to enjoy during your stay. When booking your wedding at this property, you can expect a very personalized experience. Again, smaller property means a smaller team to be available to you! As planners, we love knowing who we will be working with throughout the entire planning process.
The Alfond Inn has a gorgeous event lawn for ceremonies, a stunning conservatory for cocktail hour (or any smaller event or indoor ceremony), and a spacious ballroom for large receptions! They are able to provide food, beverage, tables, chairs, linens, etc to pull off the perfect wedding day. They do have pre-set packages that you can customize if needed, depending on your desired date. Their extensive menu options are sure to please your pallet, while giving tasty options to your guests for your cocktail hour and reception. With our guidance, we can assist with picking out the rest of your wedding needs to include floral, photography, videography, entertainment and beauty.
If you’ve been following along with us for a while, you know we love to ask our preferred vendors about trends! The team at The Alfond Inn says their favorite trend right now is “less is more”, and we couldn’t agree. Trends come and go, and you never want to over-do it on a space. This advice goes perfectly with the aesthetic of this Orlando Hotel Wedding Venue, too. The neutral color scheme throughout the property is the perfect backdrop for any couple’s vision.
Lastly, the team also offers the advice of hiring a good planner and having a budget in place. As you know, these are two very important steps to take in the beginning of the planning process, before you can even secure a venue! Take this advice with you while you search for your Orlando Hotel Wedding Venue.
