First, this venue does have a bit of history. If you’re familiar with Winter Park, you for sure know Rollins College and all its beauty. Let’s start with the stunning Knowles Memorial Chapel on this campus, which was built in 1932 and on the National Registry of Historical Places. It features breathtaking stained-glass above the altar, incredibly detailed high-ceilings, a large organ, and more. Their reception space, the Rice Family Pavilion, was originally built in 1942 and has since been repurposed as a banquet hall. While maintaining its nostalgic charm, the pavilion features a glorious arched ceiling and large windows that flood the space with natural light.
We have worked with this team to create couples’ special days, and their passion speaks for itself. They are devoted to make everything having to do with venue inclusion, food & beverage perfect for you and your guests! It’s always helpful for us to have a dedicated team we can work with through all aspects of the planning.
This Rollins College Venue offers the facility itself with basic tables and chairs which they set up. You also get variety when choosing your caterer, as they allow you to choose from three exclusive catering partners. These options allow you to customize this great space to fit your needs for your budget and design. We will say that lighting in the space really highlights the arches even more!
You know that we’re always asking about trends! This Rollins College venue says that their favorite wedding trend right now is English Garden Florals, and we love this too! There’s something about the soft colors that can go well in any season, especially in Florida. We are seeing a lot of ‘ground gardens’ when it comes to floral, meaning they have a more organic look as if they are growing out of the ground, surrounding you at your ceremony.
Lastly, the advice that this Rollins College team offers couples when looking for their perfect venue is to do your research, especially on Instagram. Their tagged photos really show what other people are tagging and you want to make sure that it fits the vibe and aesthetic you’re wanting for your special day!
