This venue was not only beautiful, but a dream to work with. Lori, our point of contact with CF, was nothing short of amazing and never made us feel like one of their many couples. We absolutely loved their outdoor courtyard for our reception. They have plenty of elegant dinnerware and tablecloth options to choose from when selecting these options. The outdoor ceremony area is already beautiful, so not much decor is needed. Their team is highly organized and professional, so less stress on the couple. We highly recommend this beautiful venue for your wedding!

We celebrated our wedding at Casa Feliz on March 16, 2025, and it was truly the best day of our lives. From the very beginning, the staff was incredibly professional and organized, and they exceeded our expectations on the big day, ensuring everything went off without a hitch. Our guests are still raving about the wedding, with the number one compliment being the food. Arthur’s Catering was absolutely phenomenal. From the appetizers to the main course, and finishing with the decadent dessert table, it was hands down one of the highlights of the day. They say brides don’t have time to eat, but I made sure to carve out time because it was that delicious! Overall, a perfect wedding day with the most incredible venue and staff. (Also shout out to Sarah Ellison for being a huge part of this review - She is incredible and Casa is lucky to have her!)

Here’s a glowing review you can use:
We had our rehearsal dinner at Casa Feliz, and it was truly a night to remember! From the moment we started planning, Lori, our event planner, was absolutely incredible. She made everything so smooth and enjoyable, handling every detail with such professionalism and warmth. The venue itself is stunning—picture-perfect with its charming historic architecture and beautiful grounds that made for the most gorgeous photos.
Arthur’s Catering provided the food, and it was simply phenomenal. Every dish was delicious, beautifully presented, and left our guests raving. The combination of a breathtaking venue, top-tier catering, and Lori’s flawless coordination made our rehearsal dinner absolutely perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Casa Feliz to anyone looking for a magical event.

My husband and I got married here in Feb 2025 and I would do it all over again. The house’s beauty speaks for itself, but the staff at Casa and Arthur’s is unbeatable. They are there for every need you have. They are kind, efficient and 100% in your corner!! Sarah is the best! She is excellent at communication and bringing your dreams to life. Attention to detail, planning, the flow of your day so that even when things don’t go to plan (high winds and rain) she can smooth it over and no one even notices that there’s been a change of plans. Highly recommend!!

Our wedding experience at Casa Feliz was truly incredible from start to finish. From the moment we inquired about a tour to our grand exit, everything exceeded our expectations. The venue, Casa Feliz, was stunning, and the entire team, particularly Lori, the wedding coordinator, made the entire process seamless. Lori was patient, supportive, and a wealth of knowledge, guiding us through every detail and ensuring that every aspect of our dream wedding came to life.
Casa Feliz was incredibly communicative, offering invaluable insights into vendors and what works best for each type of event. Their expertise helped us navigate what could have been an overwhelming process, making it feel completely manageable.
We also cannot say enough about Arthur’s Catering—the food was absolutely delicious! From the appetizers to the main courses and the bar service, everything was executed flawlessly. We received so many compliments from our guests about how flavorful and delicious the food was, and the service was impeccable.
If I had to do it all over again, I would choose Casa Feliz and Arthur’s Catering without hesitation. They truly made our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more. Thank you to everyone who made our special day so unforgettable!

We had an excellent experience at Casa Feliz for our wedding! The planning process with Lori was super smooth and enjoyable. Every tiny detail was thought of and perfectly executed on the wedding day. Having all chairs, tables, linens, etc. included in the venue price was such a dream and made our wedding a lot more affordable. The venue itself is so dreamy. It was a beautiful backdrop and the perfect setting for our intimate wedding with our closest friends and family. Highly recommend!

This venue is absolutely STUNNING! It is very well-maintained and provided a picturesque location. The space has so much natural beauty that it didn’t require many additional decorations. Casa and Arthur’s Catering offered a premium level of service, making us feel like royalty. Coupled with the excellent service, the food was absolutely incredible and had our loved ones talking about it for weeks after. We’re so happy we were able to have our wedding here!

From day one, Lori was responsive through email/phone to all questions my mom and I had regarding the venue. Toured the venue and fell in love with the space. Suggest a wedding planner to help with day of "flow" since space is broken up into different rooms/locations for ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. Also it is suggested that you have 100 guests or less. We invited 135 for venue that can only hold 120 (hoping not everyone would rsvp). Final count for us was 115 with a few people who did not show day of. Did not feel that it was super cramped with that many people although figuring out seating chart is a little more difficult and limited with more people. Dates are filled pretty far in advance especially for Saturday night. *Must use certain vendors if choosing this venue, Arthur's Catering is amazing and did a fantastic job and we loved our DJ, MJ, from Junction 88. It rained the entire weekend for our wedding due to some major storm that came through (rained non-stop Friday night to Monday morning). The wedding still went on and although the outdoor ceremony space is beautiful and what we had wanted, the indoor space is romantic, intimate, and better than I anticipated. I had a violin trio who played our ceremony music and the music sounded phenomenal inside. Due to rain we had a tent, highly highly suggest having a tent. We had always planned to have one for the outside courtyard space and thank goodness we did. It was one less thing to stress about knowing that we had coverage where people were eating. We last minute added sides to our tent (tent does not come with this) so that rain would not blow onto our guests while they were eating. Tent company was great although very very expensive!!! Please keep this in mind. You must use a specific size tent and it is pricey, this was most expensive vendor aside from food/alcohol. Another thing to note is the noise ordinance rules in winter park which do not allow for speakers/microphones outside at certain hours, Lori disclosed this to us at first visit to venue and this was not a big deal for us but should be noted. This is a rule that the town of Winter Park has. There is nothing I would have done differently, venue was extremely easy to work with and email communication was on point! I ultimately chose this venue because the price was right, location, quaint historic house where you do not need much "floral/decorations" to dress it up (I wanted simple but elegant vibe), and catering company.

We had our daughters wedding here over memorial day weekend and we worked with Lori. This was the best choice we could have ever made. She helped us find the most amazing Vendors and was simply the nicest sweetest person I could have asked for to work with for this event. The team at Arthur's Catering could not have been more responsive to our dairy and gluten free guests. In fact, they were treated so well at this event that they don't want to go to weddings elsewhere (their words). Lori was very responsive all of the months leading up to the event. This venue was so beautiful and all the guests were taken aback by it. My daughters dream wedding came true due to the hard work of Lori and her team at Arthurs. The food was probably the best wedding food we ever had--even better then the tasting event. It is so obvious that they all care. THANK YOU LORI, ARTHURS & CASA FELIZ

Our wedding at Casa Feliz was an absolute dream! Sarah and the Arthur's Catering staff were incredible to work with and we truly can't imagine getting married anywhere else. Sarah was super helpful the months, weeks, and days leading up to the wedding in addition to helping on the wedding day. We enjoyed our meetings and touch points with Sarah and we're sad that our wedding is over because we enjoyed working with her so much. The Arthur's staff was amazing the day of our wedding making sure my husband and I got drinks and food after our ceremony. The food was also amazing and in our opinion tasted even better than what we had at the tasting (which we didn't know would be possible). We loved loved loved having our wedding at Casa Feliz!!!

Where do I begin? Casa Feliz was the PERFECT wedding venue for us. We had been looking for something intimate and romantic. Our guests commented so many times about how beautiful it was. Lori was our main contact for Casa Feliz and Arthur's Catering. She was always quick to respond and we enjoyed working with her throughout the planning! Arthur's is hands down the best catering you could have. SO many compliments on Arthur's being the best wedding food anyone's had before. The bar staff were pleasant and efficient as well! Thank you Casa and Arthur's for the perfect day!

I can't say enough good things about Casa Feliz. The venue itself is GORGEOUS and in the perfect location - tucked away privately, yet right in the middle of Winter Park. More importantly, the Casa and Arthur's Catering teams are the best in Florida. Sarah was my contact for both and was truly amazing to work with. I can't stress enough how seamless, easy, and FUN the entire process was. Both Casa and Arthur's made us feel so special with thoughtful touches along the entire way. Their attention to detail is so appreciated and it shows in everything they do. Selecting Casa and Arthur's was the best decision we made for the wedding!!

Celebrating our wedding at Casa Feliz was a dream come true! It's an incredibly intimate, romantic, & historic spaced tucked away into a beautiful pocket of greater Orlando (Winter Park) which checked every box we created in hunting for a reception venue. Rental rates were pleasantly surprising compared to other spots we toured, & we recently learned that those fees are invested into the home for upkeep/renovations which felt very meaningful to us as it's a historic site in the area. Additionally, this venue is connected to an outstanding catering company (Arthur's)! Our guests can't stop remarking over the home's beauty & uniqueness. It brings us joy knowing that we can return to this space where we celebrated our big day for years to come.

Casa Feliz is an absolutely enchanting wedding venue that exceeded all our expectations!
We were planning our wedding from out of state, and actually ended up booking Casa Feliz prior to ever seeing it in person, which is a testament to Lori, our Event Designer at Casa Feliz, who helped us every step of the way! Lori was available for all of our questions, and gave us a FaceTime tour of the grounds (actually twice I think) which was so kind of her!
We were finally able to come down for a quick visit months later, and made plans to stop by. From the moment we stepped onto the grounds, we knew it was the perfect setting for our special day and we were so happy with our decision. The picturesque scenery provided a mesmerizing backdrop for our ceremony and reception, creating a magical atmosphere that our guests are still talking about.
The staff at the venue during our wedding were exceptional, from the event coordinators who helped us plan every detail to the onsite team who ensured everything ran seamlessly on the day. Everyone went above and beyond to make our vision a reality.
The facilities were impeccable, offering both indoor and outdoor spaces that were beautifully maintained and well decorated.
Our wedding day was truly a dream come true, thanks in large part to the incredible team at this venue.

Getting married at Casa Feliz was the best decision we made for our wedding! We worked with Lori and had an incredible experience. She was quick to reply to emails throughout wedding planning, the food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and the setting was stunning. It rained on our wedding day and we had to go with our rain contingency plan, but it was so well executed and beautiful that all our guests thought it was the original plan. Casa Feliz is a wedding venue powerhouse!

Casa Feliz was the PERFECT venue for our perfect day. It’s absolutely stunning in photos and even more beautiful in person. We worked with Lori as our event designer with Casa and Arthur’s Catering. She is an absolute gem of a person! She was professional, kind, informative, accommodating, and truly invested in making our wedding the best day of our lives. Our guests absolutely loved the venue as well! It was cozy and intimate and provided a gorgeous and romantic ambiance. Arthur’s Catering and the venue staff were incredible - very attentive and the food was FANTASTIC! I think I’ll be craving the Cocktail hour Hors d'oeuvres and reception meal we had on our wedding night forever.

Casa Feliz is such a special place! The moment I saw photos of this venue, I knew it was where we were going to get married. Our wedding was intimate (85 people) and Casa was the perfect sized-venue for our wedding. The house is absolutely gorgeous, with so many beautiful details. We didn't have to spend much on decor or flowers, considering the house as-is is so colorful and stunning. The ceremony to reception flowed perfectly with the layout of the house. We got so many compliments on how beautiful the venue was, how nice and attentive the team working there was, and on Winter Park in general. It is such a cute town, with a historic feel. We loved working with Lori so much! She helped us make our vision come to life, and was so easy to work with. I wish we could get married all over again! We will definitely visit Casa as patrons to the museum in the future and relive our special day.

If you are thinking of booking this venue just do it!! Booking Casa Feliz was the easiest decision we made during wedding planning. The location and Spanish museum are breathtaking. If you are looking for a simple and intimate wedding venue then this location is for you. Go visit and you will fall in love! We had the pleasure of working with Event Manager, Sarah for our wedding and she was the ABSOLUTE BEST! She is patient, kind, and went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect and exactly what we imagined.

Lori at Casa Feliz was a godsend to work with. Communication with her was always quick and easy. Everytime I had a question for her, Lori would answer with friendliness and all the necessary details I needed. Her level of professionalism is exceptional and never wavering. It's something that all vendors should have and the fact that Lori has that in spades made me love working with her, because I never had to worry that my vendor wasn't doing a good job; she was always on top of things.
When I first booked my tour with Lori, last year, I fell in love with Casa Feliz. I knew it was THE VENUE that I wanted to have my wedding at when I first saw the pictures here on The Knot. The aesthetic of Casa Feliz was exactly what I was looking for, in that Spanish Mediterranean architecture, and it was a small venue within my budget. The historic home is so well maintained and so gorgeous inside and outside that any pictures your photographer takes will automatically be exquisite. This venue really doesn't need any decorations, it is a statement of its own, and I would know, since I only had centerpieces and three other floral pieces that weren't that big. It also didn't hurt that Casa Feliz has an exclusive vendor contract with Arthur's Catering, which made me feel like I was getting a 2-in-1 package deal for this venue. When it got closer to my wedding date my husband and I had a menu tasting that was absolutely phenomenal. We tried everything they had to offer and it was all so delicious. When it came time to the wedding, the food was served and prepared exactly like at the Chef's Open House. Many of my guests went up for seconds and thirds, there were no complaints.

We held our wedding this past weekend at Casa Feliz and I can not speak highly enough of the team and staff. Many people say their wedding day was perfect but this team truly went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make that statement true. We chose to do family style and Lori and the team happily accommodated our request. They also allowed us to bring in a niche beer from a small brewery to be served. All of the staff at Arthurs are truly incredible - but I do want to give a quick shout out to Tami. Tami approached us after the ceremony while we were getting our photos taken with water & the drinks of our choice. Our planners coordinated with them ahead of time so they knew what we would be drinking all night. There were many times through the night that Tami would just show up seemingly out of thin air with a freshly refilled drink. The highlight of my night was Tami dancing her way to us with glasses of water while we were on the dance floor. She danced away just as fast as she had arrived.
This venue and this team is SECOND TO NONE. I can not recommend them enough. They should charge more for the services they provide because it truly truly was a perfect evening.
Oh and don't get me started with the food! Incredible!

My wife and I recently got married (05-04-23) at Casa Feliz and couldn't be happier that we did. First off, the place is oozing with character and romantic ambiance that you don't get most places. The staff you deal with preparing for the event are very helpful. The staff during the event are friendly and attentive. My wife and I had a dedicated server that was on top of making sure we had everything we needed. That was an incredible touch that I was not expecting. The food was extremely good which wasn't a surprise as Arthur's catering is known to be one of the best in the Orlando area. The value was good for a Thursday wedding. I would highly recommend Casa Feliz to anyone looking for a wedding venue. I would also highly recommend Arthur's Catering.

Casa Feliz is everything I dreamt my wedding to be! Casa is so incredibly beautiful, both inside and outside. I really loved the upstairs where my bridesmaids and I were able to get ready. It was a nice private space that we could all share together. The courtyard created the most beautiful “first look” pictures, and the arch made for gorgeous pictures with my husband and wedding party. I can’t say enough about how gorgeous this venue is, and how amazing the staff are. Lori was fantastic with communication, and truly helped make my wedding perfect. You won’t be disappointed by choosing Casa Feliz as your wedding venue.

Our wedding at Casa Feliz was on 12/17/22, and we could not have asked for a better wedding venue. We worked with Lori for over a year planning our wedding, and she was always incredibly kind and responsive. Arthur's Catering was phenomenal, and all of our guests raved about the food. The venue was beautiful and the staff was very attentive and there was a strong attention to detail.
A tip for future couples: the outdoor part of the venue is uncovered, and you have a hire a separate tent company if you want a tent. I was convinced that I didn't want a tent and would risk the chances with our wedding being in the dry season of December. Naturally, a rain storm became predicted right when our wedding was scheduled. I ended up booking a tent company last-minute only 2 days before the wedding, and my advice for future couples is: save yourself the panic and stress, and just book the tent well in advance. You never know what will happen, and it is NOT worth the anxiety.

We got married at Casa Feliz on 12/9/2022. I have loved this venue ever since I laid eyes on it years ago! We only looked at one venue for our wedding day and we are so happy with our choice! Our ceremony was at 4:30, cocktail hour at 5 and dinner at 6:30. The lighting and weather worked out beautifully. Cocktail hour on the driveway near the beautiful archway at sunset was stunning! The intimate setting was exactly what we had envisioned. Lori helped us leading up to the wedding day and Sarah was there on our day. Both of them were very helpful!

When I first laid my eyes on Casa Feliz I just knew it was my wedding venue. We tried to “browse” other venues but when I was describing my dream venue it was Casa Feliz (which I had no idea even existed).
The perfect location right in the heart of Winter Park with so much parking available which is hard to come by in this area. They recently started working with the golf course next to the venue on their shared parking lot and that was amazing.
Lori and her team are amazing to help get your day set up at Casa Feliz. They have so many customizable options for your entire day. Getting ready, ceremony, & reception.
The historical house is so beautiful with the exposed brick and indoor atrium.
All of our guests had an amazing time, everyone raved about it being “the most beautiful wedding they’ve ever been to”. I can’t recommend this place enough it’s truly so beautiful.
It is a smaller venue, we had roughly 65 people attend our wedding so if you have a bigger guest list some people may not be able to witness everything since it is a house and not a big open reception hall. But the way the house flows very nicely from room to room so it never feels like you’re claustrophobic. Again would maybe not recommend if you’re thinking of 120 people we just about fit 65 people but the venue and staff were absolutely amazing.

We had our first date just 7 minutes from Casa Feliz, and we found this venue while reminiscing, so it seemed like fate to stumble upon such a beautiful spot for our wedding. We reached out to Lori, Casa Feliz's brilliant events coordinator, and after our FaceTime chat we knew it was the perfect place for our ceremony and reception.
Lori was truly amazing, she answered ALL of my emails (and there were lots of them), always super helpful, always coming up with solutions or suggestions, always felt like speaking to a friend. From there, we had our taste testing with Arthur's Catering (the exclusive catering for Casa): if the beauty of Casa doesn't do it for you, the food with Arthur's will!!! We got raving comments on the food, the mushroom ravioli was the silent hit of the night, the avocado bar blew everyone's mind, and my personal favorite - the bacon-wrapped scallops OMG!!!
The day we got to do our rehearsal at Casa was also incredible. We got to see the whole space and the layout of it flows perfectly for what we had in mind. This is THE spot for your dream wedding. We cannot thank Lori, the team at Arthurs (shoutout to the wonderful Lorraine) and all of Casa Feliz enough <3

Casa Feliz was a dream venue, and Sarah with Arthur’s was fantastic to work with! It was the perfect backdrop for our perfect day - the building and grounds are gorgeous inside and out. While we initially dreamed of having our wedding outdoors, we ended up moving it inside due to rain. That said, the team at Casa (Arthur’s) didn’t miss a beat, and it ended up being even more gorgeous than I could have imagined (part of why we picked Casa was because we felt comfortable with the indoor option and with the unpredictability of FL weather that’s a very real thing to take into account!). Our guests were in awe of the venue, and we absolutely love looking back at our wedding photos!

Casa Feliz was the perfect venue for our wedding day to bring our simple Tuscan inspired vision to life. We had both our ceremony and reception here and it was the most beautiful and perfect day! From the very beginning, Sarah was absolutely incredible to work with. She helped us plan every detail to create our perfect day. Unfortunately, the weekend of our wedding, the area was hit with an unexpected tropical storm and we made the difficult decision to move the ceremony indoors. Casa Feliz was super accommodating and flexible despite this last minute change. They did so seamlessly and alleviated so much extra stress for both myself and my now husband. Moving the ceremony indoors ended up being the best decision we could have ever made because it was so much more of an intimate and meaningful experience. A huge thank you to Sarah and the entire Casa Feliz team, you guys are amazing!

We had our ceremony and reception at Casa Feliz, as the name suggests it was a happy and wonderful day for us, our friends and family, Lori was phenomenal helping us coordinating all the details, we really appreciated her help with the planning of the food tasting, since my husband travels a lot she was able to find a time that was functional for us. Our guests were happy with the food and drinks served by Artur's catering, the entire team was professional and helpful. Part of my family is Latina and Lori managed to set up a server in Spanish to make everything easier. If I had to describe the day and the venue in one word it would be PERFECT! Thank you Casa Feliz team for everything!

Casa Feliz was nothing short of perfect for the happiest day of our lives! Our search for a wedding venue initially included locations all over Florida and several other states. We looked at a LOT of options. However, once we came across Casa Feliz, nothing could beat it. It was the one for us!
Casa Feliz is the most beautiful venue. This was a destination wedding, and finally being there on our wedding day was nothing short of magical. We were married outside the house, where the ornate antique door was perfectly framed by our wedding arch. There's a build in brick path to walk down the aisle on. The building is not only beautiful but was also very spacious for our group of 65 people. We had dinner in the courtyard, and the ambiance was just what we wanted. We got lots of comments from our wedding guests about how beautiful the venue was, and we couldn't agree more.
Lori and her team were nothing but patient and helpful to us throughout the entire year-long process of planning our wedding and reception. I cannot thank Lori and the Arthur's team enough for all the effort they put in to make sure we were happy with our wedding day.
Best wedding venue ever.

Casa Feliz was truly the perfect venue! It provided a gorgeous backdrop for our intimate ceremony, and just about every guest wanted to know how we found such a perfect spot. Lori was great with her responsiveness and was very attentive to our needs on our special day - we highly recommend looking into Casa if you want a venue that's not only beautiful but has history!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about our wedding at Casa Feliz this past weekend. From our very first visit, we knew it was the perfect venue for us. The beautiful house and grounds are so inviting. Everything is wonderfully maintained. The private upstairs suites are perfect for getting ready (we loved that there are two spaces, so both my partner and I could finish getting ready at the venue - it’s not as easy as you’d think to find on-site suites for both partners!)
We rescheduled our wedding twice due to COVID, and could not have asked for a more accommodating and understanding team. Lori is so kind and super responsive - she was so quick to respond to my questions, and always incredibly helpful and fun to work with.
The Arthur’s team (the caterer operating Casa Feliz) is second to none. Every other vendor we worked with told us how they were so excited for an Arthur’s wedding; I can’t count how many times we heard that we were in for a treat, and boy were they all right. Not only was the food and drink delicious, but the service was absolutely impeccable. We never lifted a finger or needed to ask for a single thing - they anticipated our every need and were on top of it all. You’ll hear you won’t eat at your own wedding, but it couldn’t be farther from the truth with Arthur’s. They made sure we got to try a bit of everything and had as much as we needed, as well as lots of leftovers sent back to our hotel.
All of our guests kept telling us how beautiful the venue was and how great the food was. Everything was just absolutely perfect. I can’t recommend Casa Feliz and Arthur’s enough. If you’re considering, book now!

We got married at Casa Feliz on 3/19. Everything was absolutely perfect. From the first meetings (via Zoom due to Covid), to the tour, tasting, and all other decision making events throughout the process, everything was super smooth. Lori was always timely in answering my (many) questions.
The day of, the entire night was so incredibly smooth and me and my husband had the best time. My biggest worry was actually enjoying myself at my own wedding, and we both had a blast!
Arthur's staff was incredible the entire night. They made sure my husband and I got to eat the appetizers and always had a drink, and at the end of the night gave us to-go boxes with each meal and our cake leftovers wrapped up. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful wedding and I would recommend anyone to work with the staff at Casa Feliz and Arthur's.

Casa Feliz was the first and only venue we looked at for our wedding this past Friday. Once we saw it, we knew it was the place for us. We cannot say enough great things about the venue and the whole experience. Our guests all loved the venue and thought it was so beautiful and unique. A HUGE thank you to Sarah, who answered all of our questions, helped make our wedding go smoothly and everything in between. Arthur's Catering has the BEST wedding food we have ever had. All of our guests couldn't stop talking about how great the food was. Especially the flaming donuts! The bartenders were amazing, our server Alyssa was amazing and all the rest of the staff were impeccable! I would recommend Casa Feliz to anyone looking for a venue in Central Florida!

We had the most amazing and memorable wedding at Casa Feliz in March 2022, and it was due to our planner at Casa Feliz and the staff at Arthur’s. Everything was impeccable - the service was on point - and we had no stress, since our team handled everything before we even knew there were issues! We knew that our venue would be one of the most beautiful places in Central Florida, but we were so thrilled to also have an extremely responsive planning team and a day-of team that really cared about making our dream wedding a reality. We loved that the venue included chairs, linens and a getting ready area. Our guests were thrilled with the food and drink selections - we held a cocktail style reception and everyone loved the poke station in particular! Huge thank you to Lori and Sarah with Casa Feliz and to Ann with Arthur’s.

Casa Feliz is the most beautiful venue! The brick and colored accents on the property are so unique. It is the perfect mix of vintage and modern. I really didn't have to do much as far as decoration because the venue itself was so gorgeous. We worked with Lori to set everything up and she was so amazing- professional, kind, and so helpful all the months leading up to the wedding.

We got married at Casa Feliz a few days ago and we all had the most magical time. Lori and her wonderful team made our wedding one to remember. She was always available to answer any questions we had and her attention to detail was impeccable. Everyone who came to our wedding loved the romantic atmosphere of the venue. We were able to do our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all in one place, which was great. They also LOVED the food. Arthur's Catering was amazing and all of the food was delicious. We told Lori our drinks of choice and every time I turned around there was a fresh drink in my hand! Little things like that is what made our wedding day more than I could have imagined. We were so lucky to be able to have our wedding at Casa Feliz and would not change one thing. It was truly a day to remember forever!

We had our wedding ceremony & reception at Casa Feliz on 2/12/22 and it was PERFECT. All of their staff go above & beyond to make your day amazing. The venue is truly gorgeous & unique. The pricing is also very fair - especially for Winter Park! I loved that catering & alcohol were already taken care of & included - one less thing to worry about.
Lori is so nice & always responded so quickly. When a couple of our vendors did a less than stellar job on our wedding day, she was super sweet & stepped in to help even though it wasnt necessarily in her job description.
The food is delicious. All of our guests kept raving about it! They have a range of options for cocktail hour appetizers. We had the empanadas, ahi tuna, and pesto flatbread pizza - all three were yummy & our guests raved about it. The salad and entrees were delicious as well. We also added on the flaming doughnut bar which was unique, delicious & a big hit with all our guests!
The getting ready area offered pre wedding is a fair amount of space. We had four bridesmaids & four groomsmen. We also had mothers, grandmothers, fathers & grandfathers in the getting ready rooms prior to the ceremony & had more than enough room.
The venue itself is gorgeous. We had a band play on the balcony during the ceremony - which looked amazing. The wooden chairs go with Casa Felizs rustic look. The cocktail hour on the side of the house is nice as well, plenty of room for guests to mix & mingle. The outdoor space for the reception is gorgeous. We had a clear tent with twinkly lights & roughly 90 guests. There was plenty of room for everyone to get around. Inside, we had the cakes, gift table, dance floor with DJ and photobooth - there was more than enough space for everting. We did our first look in the courtyard & had the bar & flaming donuts there during the reception. It is so gorgeous - especially with the tile.
All the staff went above & beyond. They checked in frequently to see if we needed anything. They greeted us with drinks after the ceremony. While we took pictures during cocktail hour, they brought us our own plates of appetizers and drinks as needed.
I cant say enough good thing about Casa Feliz and would highly recommend this venue for your wedding!

We had our wedding at Casa Feliz in January 2022 and worked with Lori Strickland from Arthur’s Catering for all the details. Our wedding was amazing; Lori was there to answer all of our questions leading up to the wedding; the venue was gorgeous, and the attention to our guests and service was amazing.

Getting married at Casa was the most amazing experience! The staff are so welcoming and treat you like the royalty that you should be on your wedding day. I was able to contact them for any question no matter how large or small snd always had a prompt response. They have suggestions for vendors which come in handy if you are from out of town. If anything went wrong I was not aware on my wedding day. The food is beyond DELICIOUS! You cannot go wrong with the food, staff, venue, and town of Winter Park. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. The worst part is that my wedding day is over and the party has ended.

Casa Feliz was a fairytale for us from the moment we viewed the venue through the week after our special day! We particularly like Casa for its Beauty and location. What we didn’t know we would like so much is that the venue provided so much that our planning workload shrunk! It was a one stop shop for all our needs and the staff were so seasoned they made every choice we made look incredible. Lori was our venue manager and when we say she was incredible we mean incredible! She made the whole planning process with casa painless and easy! Explaining everything so clearly, we couldn’t help but feel we picked the right location. Because the venue is so beautiful, we didn’t have to dress the place up and spend money on things to enhance the venue. Lastly Lori and Casa Feliz went above and beyond for us in every way, even moving our wedding date from 2020 to 2021 with little pain. On the day of our wedding, Lori and her staff were like family, helping in every way they could to make sure everything was perfect. In the end the guests and ourselves couldn’t stop raving about Casa Feliz! It;s now over a month later and we are still getting calls and texts saying how “Beautiful”, “Perfect”, “Like a movie” or wedding was and it was all in huge part to Lori and the amazing staff / Venue that is Casa Feliz!

We are so thankful to have had our wedding at Casa Feliz! We truly feel like this venue gives you the most bang for your buck! The house itself is absolutely gorgeous. We got married here December 2021, and the Christmas decor put up by the venue was truly stunning. Our friends and family were all in awe too with just how beautiful the venue was. Our event coordinator, Lori, was also SO amazing! She was always very responsive and was there to help when needed. She did such a wonderful job in helping create our special day!

Casa Feliz was the first venue I looked at and I immediately fell in love. All you have to do is step foot on the property and you'll see what I mean. Lori, our event planner, was a pleasure to work with and the Arthur's catering staff was also phenomenal. Our wedding felt like a dream. We received so many compliments on the venue and the food and the overall vibe that Casa provided for us-- I will never forget our special day. The natural beauty of the house combined with the classy decor at Christmas time was something from a movie. I'm so thankful to have chosen Casa as our reception venue and I wouldn't have changed a thing.

I'm not typically one to leave reviews but I wanted to take the time to acknowledge Casa Feliz. My husband and I had the best wedding at Casa Feliz. A huge part of our wedding's success was because of Lori, our event designer. Lori was the most kind and patient person we came across during our entire wedding planning process. My husband and I experienced unforeseen and unfortunate things happen while planning and Lori was the most flexible and accommodating. She was highly professional and communicated in a timely manner. She did whatever she could to make sure our wedding day was everything we wanted. Lori was reliable and efficient as well. She always had solutions and eased our worries. I had no doubt that we were in the best hands and would HIGHLY recommend Casa and Arthur's Catering.

Lori was amazing to work with since the beginning. Casa was the first venue we saw and kept searching. But my husband fell in love with Casa since our visit and we decided we needed to do our ceremony here. It matched our theme and was so perfect! We can’t thank you enough Lori!!

We had our wedding at Casa last month & it was TRULY PERFECT. We worked with Lori for the months leading up to the wedding, and she was always very responsive, professional, helpful, and super nice!! The day of, the team at Casa was extremely helpful and organized, since there's so much happening I wasn't fully aware of all the things that needed to be done/be on top of etc. They handled it all and I literally had no stress! We made a game time decision for inside or outside dinner as it was potentially raining, and Lori really helped me figure it out and make it all work. The guests had so much fun and I couldn't have asked for a better, more beautiful venue & company to work with for our wedding.
