Anyone know of Leu Gardens or Kraft Azalea Gardens in Orlando?

[elgerber]

Hi there, I posted this on the community board, but I thought I'd try here too...

A co-worker of mine is getting married in Orlando. She is having a very small private ceremony and is deciding between these two places. She asked me if I knew of them, since we go to Orlando often, but I do not. I told her I'd check here as I figured somebody here would know something. Anyone been here? She wants to know which one is nicer, it's hard to tell from the pictures she's seen.

Thanks!

We were at a wedding about 6 years ago at Leu Gardens. It was beautiful as I recall though we were all pretty focused on the sweltering heat and if the very pregnant bridesmaid would pass out. (She should keep in mind the extreme temperature depending on time of year and lack of shade at the location that we attended)

Sorry can't help with the other location.

We tentatively have a vow renewal planned for April 15th at Kraft Azalea Gardens. I just contacted Rev. Tim about the possibility of Leu Gardens being available. I don't know much about either except that you cannot book Kraft Azalea, it is first come, first served. But free however. And inclimate weather is an issue there also. Leu Gardens does have many buildings as back-up locations.
I will find out on Monday if Leu Gardens has an opening. They have areas for both larger and small weddings. Since we are doing a vow renewal for just my husband and I, and our immediate family(3 kids), we can choose from 4 different times- 9:00 AM, 11:30 AM, 1:00 PM or 3:30 PM and from 3 locations-The White Garden, South Woods Gazebo or Trellis.
Fee for these locations is $175.00 for 1 hour and they accomodate up to 25 guests. Not sure about the larger weddings.
I will post when I get more info.
