The city of Lake Mary, which is ranked the No. 1 small town in Florida by CNN/Money Magazine, is a peaceful residential community with some diverse resources to help you with the wedding planning process.

Timacuan Golf & Country Club is a great place to host weddings, as it features elegant banquet halls and verandas with scenic views, a rooftop garden where you can have cocktails, and a spacious grand ballroom for dancing.

Another one of Lake Mary's popular wedding venues, the Lake Mary Events Center, is located on the shores of West Crystal Lake and offers a beautiful event lawn with waterfront views, a fountain patio area, and indoor ceremony sites in case of poor weather.

Lake Mary has plenty of things for you to enjoy during your free time and is near major Florida attractions, as it considered part of the Orlando metropolitan statistical area, so you might want to consider planning an extended wedding weekend in the city in order to take advantage of everything it has to offer.

To start, you can picnic and play in Lake Mary's parks, including Liberty Park, Central Park, and Splash Park, go fishing on the St. Johns River, go golfing at Magnolia Plantation Golf Club, or take a day trip to visit the attractions in Orlando, such as the Walt Disney World theme parks and the Kennedy Space Center.
