The Capen House is a meticulously restored 1885 Queen Anne Victorian home on the shores of Lake Osceola in downtown Winter Park, one of the oldest and best-preserved private residences in the Orlando area. Its wraparound porch, ornate gingerbread trim, original heart-pine floors, and lakeside croquet lawn combine Victorian elegance with natural Florida beauty. Ceremonies on the lakeside lawn overlook Lake Osceola's calm water and the graceful arc of the Winter Park Chain of Lakes, while the interior parlor rooms provide intimate reception space for up to 50 guests. The Capen House is available for exclusive-use private events and elopements, offering one of the most genuinely personal and architecturally distinctive settings in Central Florida.
