Harry P. Leu Gardens is a 50-acre botanical garden in the heart of Orlando, offering some of the most lush and photogenic ceremony settings in Central Florida. The Rose Garden, with its heritage roses climbing trellises around a central fountain, is the signature ceremony site, while the Camellia Garden and tropical hammock provide alternative settings throughout the property. The historic Leu House, a nineteenth-century farmhouse listed on the National Register of Historic Places, provides intimate indoor reception space for up to 75 guests. Full-garden buyout packages allow couples exclusive use of the entire property for evening events, with ambient lighting transforming the gardens into a magical twilight landscape.
