The Garden Theatre is a 1935 historic cinema in downtown Winter Garden, on the west side of Orlando, restored and reimagined as one of Central Florida's most unique performance and event venues. The theater's art deco interior — original marquee, curved balcony, rich red drapes, and a restored proscenium stage — creates a cinematic atmosphere unlike any standard ballroom. Ceremonies can be staged within the theater with the couple making their entrance down the center aisle, while reception space extends into the adjacent outdoor courtyard strung with Edison lights under a canopy of live oaks. The Garden Theatre accommodates up to 250 guests and sits at the heart of Plant Street's charming restaurant and boutique district.
