About this venue

Nestled on 300 acres of picturesque countryside in Howey-in-the-Hills, The Fort is a one-of-a-kind wedding destination located on the historic Jeppesen family estate. The property remains a working cattle farm and agritourism destination, offering couples an authentic Old Florida experience unlike any other venue in Central Florida. Surrounded by majestic oak trees draped in Spanish moss, expansive pastures, beautiful gardens, and breathtaking sunsets, The Fort seamlessly blends timeless Southern charm with modern elegance. Exchange vows beneath our oak-lined ceremony spaces, host cocktail hour on the estate home’s wraparound porch, and celebrate inside our fully air-conditioned reception venue featuring soaring ceilings, custom chandeliers, and a versatile blank-canvas design. With luxury bridal accommodations, a caterer’s kitchen, modern amenities, and unforgettable views, The Fort is where history meets happily ever after.
