Venue Spotlight – The Highland Manor

Nestled on secluded grounds in Apopka, The Highland Manor is surrounded by ancient oaks and steeped in 110 years of history. Once a grand private home, the Apopka landmark has become one of Central Florida’s premier event venues exclusively available through Dubsdread Catering. Come visit us and find yourself on our sweeping veranda looking out over ancient oaks, rolling scenic vistas, and gracious spaces all providing a classic and stunning backdrop for your special Central Florida wedding or event. A great location with plenty of options for events of all sizes and has three different spaces within the facility to select from, or combine, to accommodate groups large and small.

Hosting Your Wedding or Event at  The Highland Manor

The Highland Manor features distinguished details you won’t find anywhere else. The large, rambling house with its metal roof and native woodwork is charming and authentic. The Crystal Ballroom and Oak Room are perfect for ceremonies or receptions and the Verandah with its many glass windows is the perfect stage for buffets. The large bar area is grand and provides plenty of room for intimate cocktail functions.

The rolling oak-shaded lawn offers stunning natural backdrops for wedding photos and videos. Many wedding ceremonies take place under one of the grand oak trees for those looking for a gorgeous natural setting.

We are able to accommodate parties of 20 to 250 for a full dinner service and cocktail-style receptions for up to 600 guests, when utilizing all banquet areas. 

The Highland Manor has been voted the best wedding venue in Central Florida by readers of The Knot nine years in a row. .
