Orlando is home to so many incredible wedding venues, but there’s something timeless about saying “I do” at Rollins Memorial Chapel followed by a reception at the Alfond Inn in Winter Park. This wedding day was a beautiful blend of heartfelt tradition, modern elegance, and stylish celebration. From the intimate chapel ceremony to the chic ballroom reception, their day showcased everything couples love about hosting a wedding in Central Florida.
Getting Ready at the Alfond Inn
The morning began at the Alfond Inn, where the bridal party got ready in the hotel’s bright, art-filled suites. With its boutique luxury feel and proximity to the chapel, it’s the perfect place for both wedding parties to relax before the ceremony – making logistics seamless and stress-free.
A Classic Ceremony at Rollins Memorial Chapel
Located on the Rollins College campus, Rollins Memorial Chapel is a favorite Orlando wedding ceremony location for its historic architecture, warm natural light, and traditional yet romantic setting. The couple exchanged vows beneath the soaring stained glass windows as family and friends looked on. The chapel’s timeless beauty created the perfect backdrop for both the ceremony and those emotional just-married portraits.
Portraits Around Rollins & Winter Park
After the ceremony, we took full advantage of the gorgeous grounds at Rollins College and the charming streets of Winter Park for portraits. The tree-lined walkways, Mediterranean-inspired architecture, and lakeside views make this area a photographer’s dream. These romantic moments were some of the couple’s favorites, capturing their joy in a setting that feels quintessentially Winter Park.
Elegant Reception at the Alfond Inn
The celebration continued at the Alfond Inn, a luxury boutique hotel in the heart of Winter Park known for its stunning ballroom and elevated service. The reception space was transformed with gorgeous floral arrangements, soft candlelight, and personal touches that reflected the couple’s style. Guests enjoyed a night of dinner, dancing, and heartfelt toasts before sending the newlyweds off in style.
