Casa Feliz Historic Home Museum is a 1933 Spanish farmhouse designed by architect James Gamble Rogers II, relocated from its original site to Mead Garden in Winter Park and meticulously restored as a historic event venue. The home's hand-hewn cypress ceiling beams, Mediterranean tile work, arched doorways, and wide shaded verandas give it a warmth and architectural character impossible to replicate. Ceremonies are held on the botanical garden grounds surrounding the house, while the great room and veranda accommodate seated receptions of up to 100 guests. As a nonprofit, Casa Feliz directs event proceeds toward ongoing preservation, making a wedding here an investment in Winter Park's living history.

Sunset times are calculated for this venue's coordinates, shown in EDT for the 15th of each month in 2026. Golden hour is the 60 minutes before sunset. The ceremony start is my rule of thumb — about 2 hours before sunset, so a short ceremony and family photos still leave the two of you in golden light. Adjust it to your own timeline. Average temperatures and rainfall are NOAA 1991–2020 normals from ORLANDO EXECUTIVE AP, 3.5 miles away.
