From “Yes” to “I Do”

Planning a wedding comes with a long list: the venue, flowers, food, rings, hair, photos, gifts, and all the little details in between. Luckily, you don’t have to go far to find them.

From the moment you say “yes” to the wedding weekend itself, Ivanhoe Village has an impressive collection of businesses that can help make the celebration personal and local.

Start With the Big Day

DoubleTree by Hilton Orlando Downtown can make wedding planning especially convenient, with a venue, guest accommodations, event space and catering all in one place. For couples looking for a venue with a distinctly Orlando setting, Loch Haven Cultural Park is home to cultural institutions including the Orlando Science Center, Orlando Ballet, Orlando Museum of Art, Mennello Museum, and Orlando Shakes, each of which offers its own unique setting for weddings and special events. 

From Rings to Getting Ready

For the engagement and wedding jewelry, Dora Mae Jewelry offers custom pieces and heirloom redesigns, along with permanent jewelry that can make a fun keepsake for the wedding party.

When it’s time to get wedding-ready, Salon Dulay, Mosaic Hair Studio, Veracity Salon, In Bloom Salon, and Tres Ivanhoe Salon offer hair and beauty services, while Mosaic ReFresh, Inside Out IV Hydration, and other wellness businesses provide opportunities for a little pre-wedding relaxation and rejuvenation.

Flowers, Food, and Photos

For flowers, couples can turn to The Golden Bee Fleurs, Leaf & Blossom or Kelly Shannon Floral for everything from bouquets and boutonnieres to centerpieces.

John Michael Catering and Pearson’s Catering can handle the food, while neighborhood restaurants like Russell’s on Lake Ivanhoe, The Pinery, Santiago’s Bodega, The Imperial and Tim’s Wine Market can become part of the wedding weekend through rehearsal dinners, welcome drinks, brunches and celebrations.

And, of course, you’ll want to capture it all. Calen J Herb Photography can document the moments leading up to and on the big day. 

Don’t Forget the Details

Wedding party gifts, favors and something special for the new home? Miscellaneous Market, Maffrey’s, Yay! Tiny Shop, Rare Earth Gift, House on Lang, and Gold Dust Home offer plenty of options. Parisian Cleaners can take care of the less glamorous, but very necessary, task of keeping wedding attire looking its best.

And that’s really the beauty of an Ivanhoe Village wedding: it doesn’t have to be just one day.

Your guests can stay nearby, explore the neighborhood, shop, dine, and be entertained. Your wedding party can get pampered, your family can gather for dinner, and you can find everything from flowers to jewelry to gifts.

So if you’re newly engaged,or helping someone who is, consider this your sign to celebrate local and say “I do” to doing it in Ivanhoe Village.
