A park wedding runs on park rules, so set expectations accordingly: you reserve through the city's parks department, the city doesn't publish the reservation fee on the park's page, and everything beyond the setting — officiant, chairs if any, the celebration afterwards — is yours to arrange. What you get for that effort is a setting money genuinely can't improve on much, at what is usually the lowest venue cost in any city: a municipal reservation.
For a 12-person ceremony at golden hour followed by dinner on Park Avenue, it's hard to beat. Confirm the current reservation process and fee with the city, and ask specifically about chairs, amplified sound and rain — parks have rules about all three.
The rest of the region is on the Orlando & Central Florida page; the full census is in the Florida guide. And when the venue math starts, what a Florida wedding venue actually costs and what a wedding photographer costs will save you from the usual surprises.
