Umatilla is Lake County — rolling, for Florida, and an hour northwest of Orlando — and Lakeview Gardens is a garden venue that holds up to 150 people but keeps a Garden Gazebo for smaller ceremonies of up to 70 and sells elopement and micro-wedding packages without publishing a guest cap for them.
What makes its page is one sentence of policy: bring your own vendors; you're never required to use an in-house-only vendor. In wedding-venue language that's a genuine position. Most venues monetize the vendor list — their caterer, their DJ, their florist, at their markup. A venue that lets your cousin shoot the photos and your favorite restaurant cater is giving up that money, and it tends to be the single biggest cost lever a small wedding has.

The trade-off
The trade-off is on the same page: no prices are published at all. No package numbers, no rental figure. So this is a shortlist-and-email venue — the policy earns it the email, and your first question should be the full price list for a micro wedding at your guest count, in writing, before a tour. Gardens photograph beautifully on tours; get the numbers first anyway.
Three questions worth an email
- What are the elopement and micro-wedding package prices at 10, 20 and 30 guests?
- Is there a guest cap on the micro-wedding package?
- Are there any vendor categories where you do require your own people?
