Here, attendees can be part of a gourmet experience while tasting top-notch food that’s cooked and served by professional chefs in a theater-style kitchen.

Throw a party for your animal-loving group at Flamingo Gardens’ tropical paradise, a sanctuary where birds of prey, reptiles, and mammals feel at home. Your group can dance the night away under a canopy of live oaks or have a barbecue at the covered picnic area while surrounded by plants native to the area.

Looking for a space filled with history? Check out the Bonnet House Museum & Gardens. Be magically transported to the beginning of the 20th century and the days of gracious living, charm and whimsy when Florida was one of the nation's last frontier outposts. The tranquility of the courtyard fountain and garden setting in the main house makes for a lovely arrival. The adjacent waterfront veranda or Bonnet House Beach is the perfect location to celebrate surrounded by timeless beauty.
