The Acre

This place is so special! Had my wedding there today! We did the 3 hour booking that includes the officiant and cake. The cake is to die for! Made by Sugar Buzz. .Italian buttercream. Its a 9″ round 3 layer cake. Kristen the event planner was a great help and very professional. Our wedding photographer Gian Carlo loves this venue as much as us! The small merry go round is awesome! Plenty of parking. Great sound system that we plugged our lap top into for music.

I have to say, this was the most beautiful outdoor wedding venue that I have ever been to. When we pulled up to The Acre, I was amazed at the rustic beauty of the site. There were beautiful lights strung from tree to tree and the maintenance of the property was just perfect.
I enjoyed walking around and seeing the different personal touches on this place. From the building in the front where the wedding set up their cake, to the building in the back where they had the bar — everything was so nice! Honestly, if you are looking into an outdoor event space in Orlando — you have GOT to check out The Acre. Truly an amazing space!

I visited for an Orlando Weekly pet event and was curious about this space. It is an odd property with several buildings, kind of like a camp of sorts, it had a stage and fence around it. There was not enough parking for the event so lots of people were crossing Edgewater which could be dangerous. Just consider the parking capacity if you are looking at holding an event here. Otherwise it is unique and could be interesting.

I’d never been here, never heard of it, and still don’t know exactly what it’s for, but I really liked this place.
Went here for a great interpretation of The Tempest, and though I decided it’s not my favorite play, the Howlers did a stellar job and the venue was perfect.
By the way! If it’s not too late, I highly recommend going to this weekend’s (feb. 14 – 16 2014) performance of The Tempest. Only $ 25 for two people.
One thing they do here is weddings. Wedding reception marriage ceremony nuptials party keywords galore. Enjoy.

Beautiful, green, open…
I attended Unilocal’s Bohemian Bash back in November and had a grand time!
The venue was perfecto.
Plenty of space for all of the many vendors.
Nice stage for the entertainment
Two cute houses on the property for events
This place is so versatile and rustic
A variety of events and photo shoots can take place here
CAN’T WAIT TO GO BACK!!!
LOVE IT
*Orlando’s little secret

Cute spot, lots of options for photos. Boho Bash is well worth the 10 buck donation. Great food and drinks! Lines can be rough though, break out your phone and play some games while you wait.

I’ve only been here once so far, for a Unilocal event, but this place looks like a great venue for weddings, parties, any type of outdoor event. The only issue I can see is parking — not sure how that works for big events, we biked to the Unilocal event so it was a non-​issue for us.

I attended Unilocal’s Bohemian bash here, and I have to say the venue is beautiful! Great for any outdoor event.

this is the venue orlando has been missing. perfect for a rustic whimsical outdoor wedding. I only wish this venue had existed when I was planning a wedding.

I LOVE THIS VENUE!
I attended a Unilocal event being held here my oh my was it beautiful!
So rustic and lovely. Super hipster-​esque. The BEST type of esque! Haha the area is very pretty big (one acre) and I’m sure it could have hosted 600−750+ people comfortably! The event I attended probably had around 550+ people, including staff.
But back to the venue: Lots of open space to fill with creative and simple décor as well as this adorable wooden fence surrounding the area and several big trees. A few small houses too!
Definitely a place where I would like to plan something for or just come and have a photoshoot!~

In one word WOWOWOWOWOW! I attended an event here earlier, and I was truly impressed. This place is magical.
It’s an actual acre (hence the name haha). The set-​up allows more than ample space for comfort. There were so many people at this event that I attended earlier– I was impressed that people weren’t tripping all over each other.
Perfect venue for any occasion. I’d really like to plan something or pray someone I know plans something just so I can return.

Let me start off by saying that The Acre is an INCREDIBLE venue with an INCREDIBLE owner who goes above and beyond for his brides.
That being said, we originally had a contract with The Summerlin House (before it was taken over by The Neighborhood Rogue). We gave our $ 1000 deposit to the person we believed to be the owner/​manager of the property only to find out she was illegally living at the property and had been told to vacate the property only a week prior. She kept seeing brides, taking their money and drawing up fake contracts.
The new owner was so gracious and honored our contract and saved our date. Unfortunately, it just didn’t work out because we knew we were going to have a VERY DIY wedding due to our budget.
We began our search for a new venue and that is when a friend suggested The Acre. We were IN LOVE from the minute we stepped on the property. It was beautiful, it was unique… it was everything we wanted and more in a wedding venue.
The venue is whimsical, a blank slate. It’s perfect for anyone who has a vision and wants to execute it in their own manner. There is not an area on the property that isn’t visually stunning.
The only reason I gave The Acre a 4 out of 5 is because of the professionalism and it has NOTHING to do with the property owner… he is INCREDIBLE. Everything that needed to be fixed was done almost immediately.
The property manager on the other hand was inefficient, very unclear of the terms and prices and not such a pleasure to encounter. Not only was she this way with me but to several other brides who I know are getting married there. She gave every bride I know a different price and it really made me worry that our terms would change from day to day. She was not relatable whatsoever with her brides.
Luckily, the property OWNER realized how uncomfortable we were with her and made sure we weren’t dealing with her after a certain point. Had we not dealt with this woman at all, I would have given this place 5 out of 5 for everything.
If you want your run of the mill wedding, book somewhere else. If you are looking for a unique, beautiful and dreamy wedding venue… book here!

Oh my lord, I want to live here.
Guys, this place is glorious. So rustic, romantic and electric all at the same time. I can’t wait for everyone to uncover it just as I have. I found out about it from some local photographers and after seeing it with my own eyes, I can see why photographers love it so much; such an open, fun canvas!
This is an acre (yes, nifty name) of property that is right off of Edgewater/​Fairbanks and if you blink, you will think it’s just someones land. Actually, if you stare you will also think it’s just someones land but… trust me, enter, it’s more than land, it’s a magical venue that can make people come alive.
There are so many cool things to describe, let’s see if I can do it any justice with words. The entrance alone is cool, iron gate with a small walkway leading to the main «house» and everything is just lush with greenery. The main house has a utility kitchen for small prep including sinks and a location for warming food. There is a room above on the second floor in the house that is set for events and bride prep etc. It’s really event friendly.
Right outside of that main house is a small fishpond that really adds to the amazingness and natural, rustic feel of this place and of course, there is a fire pit right next to it with benches. Perfection. This walkway leads to another house that has built in audio and lighting and an adorable vintage bar. There are speakers on the outside too so if there is someone playing inside, you can hear it outside as well.
Then you head to another house that is all open, various windows and doors, all white washed wood inside with hanging lanterns and a working fireplace. It was a literal photo defining Shabby chic — seriously would makes Rachel Ashwell’s knees grow weak.
There is also an outdoor stage that is about 2 feet off the ground and a pretty large platform, a really great spot for setting up a band, a wedding, a table setting, really a blank canvas like the entire place.
They have an annual Localtopia fest with tons of live music, vendors and fun, it’s coming this October, check it out.
I could sit here and continue on trying to explain the electricity of this location but I would be wasting your time because you really have to experience it for yourself. So, do yourself a favor, go… now!

Wow. We went to an event here last night. This place is magical. If you want a McWedding, then stick to your generic hotel ballroom or country club, but if you want something different, amazing, and special, look into The Acre.
Words can’t really describe it… there are various buildings, one with vines growing over the walls and no roof, where the open ceiling is strung with twinkle lights that look like a celestial spider web. There is a fire pit and koi ponds, and a stage for a band, and the buildings are all open and you wander through, discovering little secret spots as you go.
It isn’t pristine and antiseptic, but it’s like a fairyland. I told my husband that I need to think of an excuse for a party, just so we can have it at The Acre.
There is just no way to convey how incredibly different and special it is here. Look into it with an open mind and an open heart, and be prepared to let magic happen.
