The Palm Mansion

The Palm Mansion is a historic wedding venue in Umatilla, Florida, set in a restored 1904 estate built by citrus grower Robert Lee Collins. Its preserved architectural details, including Heart of Pine floors, decorative woodwork and broad verandas, give the property a distinctive Old Florida character. Mature palm trees and landscaped gardens add to the setting for ceremonies and celebrations.

The venue offers several ways to shape an event across the estate. Couples can choose from three outdoor ceremony locations, five spaces for cocktails and three dinner reception areas. The Collins Conservatory, a glass ballroom, provides an indoor reception option for up to 150 guests. The grounds also include a garden amphitheatre, a courtyard with a vintage fountain and a brick dance floor. For wedding preparations, the mansion has a private bridal suite and dressing room, as well as a lounge for groomsmen.

Weekend venue hire is listed as a 12-hour rental. Included provisions feature ceremony and reception chairs, a choice of table styles, cocktail tables, set-up and on-site parking. An in-house venue manager assists with venue details, while the team also provides access to a preferred vendor list and wedding planning support. Couples can explore an elite catering option with menu and décor selections, or discuss their plans with the venue team. The property is suited to organisers seeking a characterful setting for a wedding ceremony, reception or other special celebration, with indoor and outdoor spaces available for different parts of the day.
