Three-and-a-half acres of manicured grounds and lakefront gardens for outdoor meetings and celebrations, including tenting capabilities.
Kim, Denise, and the rest of the Capen House/Polasek Museum crew were the most wonderful people to work with! We had a destination wedding in Florida (we are from TX) and they helped make the planning go as smooth as possible. So quick at responding to emails, providing necessary resources for us to plan our big day, and helping out as much as they could.

Kim has been the best to work with for my wedding! She made sure to make sure I have all the info I needed for the wedding and made everything easy. Unfortunately to Covid-19 I have to reschedule and again, Kim was amazing making sure things worked out for the benefit of our wedding. I highly recommend this venue!

James Seymour Capen built the Capen Home in 1885. It is the third oldest home in Winter park. At the time there were only a few pioneers in Winter park, Fl. Capen was known for his dedication to the development of Winter Park and he donated funds to bring Rollins College to Winter Park. The Capen family lived in the home until 1898 when it was then sold to human-rights advocate Amelia Weed Hopkins. The Snow family purchased the home in 1904 and in 1910 it was sold to J.F. Johnson. In 1923, Howard and Anna Durbin Sands Showalter purchased the house transforming it from a Folk Victorian Farmhouse

First off the property is absolutely beautiful. Most importantly Kim the event coordinator is absolutely wonderful. My fiancé and I toured the property with Kim and she was so helpful and genuine. Unfortunately we have decided to go with another venue but this place was definitely tied. If you want a personal experience, with a sweet genuine person ask for Kim. The property itself is amazing and Kim adds to that beauty.

A huge thank you to Kim and all of the staff at The Capen House. We held our wedding there and it could not have been a more perfect day. Kim was very communicative throughout the whole process and was so accomodating to help us get everything just right the day of. The venue itself is gorgeous...from the gardens outside with the lake as a backdrop to the interior of the house with its beautiful hardwood floors. My guests are still commenting on how lovely the venue was.
