Paradise Cove is a true tropical oasis right in the midst of the hustle and bustle of Orlando. The venue is tucked into the shores of Lake Bryan, which is also home to the owners’ partner company, Buena Vista Water Sports. In fact, Paradise Cove began as a popular private water sports attraction back in 1993. Twenty years later, they converted part of the property to the gorgeous Paradise Cove wedding venue, quickly receiving acclaim as one of Orlando’s top venues. They were even rated the 4th Most Breathtaking View in the World by the Venue Report!
As soon as you turn onto the street and through the gates of the Paradise Cove wedding venue, you’ll know you’re somewhere special. Instantly, a newfound serenity greets you as you enter a tropical oasis designed specifically to host gorgeous and fun events.
