CELEBRATE YOUR LOVE STORY AT CYPRESS LODGE

Where Timeless Elegance Meets Southern Charm

There’s a hush that falls over Cypress Lodge when love fills the air. Maybe it’s the way the sunlight filters through the palmeria, or how the breeze from Lake Okeechobee whispers across the veranda. Whatever it is, it’s magic — the kind that can only be found in a place where history and heart meet.

Built in 1936 and lovingly restored, Cypress Lodge offers a wedding experience steeped in Southern grace and authenticity. The white-columned veranda, gleaming wood floors, and soft glow of the sunset create a setting that feels both elegant and deeply personal — a place where every moment slows down just enough to be remembered.

A Setting Steeped in Romance

Imagine saying your vows beneath the shade of the cypress trees, surrounded by family, friends, and the soft fragrance of Palmeria carried on the breeze. The sound of laughter drifts across the wide porch, where teak rocking chairs invite quiet moments and heartfelt conversation.

As the celebration unfolds, guests gather beneath the tented garden, where twinkling lights and the beauty of nature create an evening filled with warmth and joy. Every space at Cypress Lodge tells a story — from the charm of its 1936 architecture to the serenity of its open grounds.

Whether you’re planning a small, heartfelt ceremony, a relaxed garden reception, or an elegant tented celebration, Cypress Lodge offers a setting that feels timeless, personal, and deeply romantic — a place where your love story naturally belongs.
