Tucked away here in Orange County, The Pavilion on Lakeland Farm has quickly become one of the region’s favorite wedding venues — and for good reason. With gardens, ponds, and rolling farmland as a backdrop, couples find plenty of picture-perfect spots for their big day. Inside, the spacious banquet hall seats up to 250 guests under tall ceilings, pewter chandeliers, and skylights that bring in natural light. A built-in stage and wide dance floor make it easy to go from heartfelt vows to lively celebration. Brides and grooms also appreciate the private dressing areas and on-site suites that keep the entire wedding day in one convenient place.

But weddings are only part of the story. The Pavilion has also earned a reputation as a go-to spot for holiday parties, civic banquets, fundraisers, and conferences. From themed Christmas gatherings to milestone anniversaries, the venue transforms to fit the occasion. Upstairs conference rooms offer space for planning sessions or quiet prep, while the grounds provide guests with sweeping farm views, grazing cattle, and the chance to spot local wildlife.

Adding to the charm is the fact that Lakeland is still a working farm. Black angus cattle graze the fields, hay bales dot the pastures, and horses greet guests along the drive. It’s not unusual to catch sight of deer by the ponds or geese flying overhead — small reminders of Orange County’s agricultural roots that make the setting feel authentic and unique.

What makes The Pavilion stand out is its balance of elegance and comfort. Janet and Steve Sedwick, who designed the venue to reflect the original 1800s farmhouse, take pride in creating a space where families, businesses, and community groups feel welcome. Whether it’s a black-tie wedding, a civic awards banquet, or a holiday party with twinkling lights, The Pavilion delivers a setting where memories are made.

Hi! I’m Jennifer Bailey and I partner with entrepreneurs who have massive ideas that could change the world. Most marketing is meaningless. Filled with empty promises, its only job is to bring in new traffic, new leads, and new customers. But I’ve drawn a line in the sand, and I’ve learned that marketing can do so much more than reach business goals and build profit. My methods give businesses the fire and soul they need to reach the right people, set the groundwork for sustainable relationships, and offer true value to the people on both the giving and receiving ends of marketing.
