La Venture Grove is a historical home and Citrus grove nestled in the heart of Switzerland, Florida. The six acre property sits on the east side of the St. Johns river promising breathtaking waterfront sunsets. There are beautiful 500+ year old oak trees draped in Spanish moss scattered amongst the property. The home was built in 1880 by the Moremen family and still boasts its original siding, flooring, windows, and doors. It features a luxurious bridal suite and an old smoke room style groom suite. Adjacent to the house, you will find a brand new 2,000 square foot pole barn style pavilion. We provide many amenities including hand made farm-style tables, whisky barrel cocktail tables, a handmade arbor, and much more. Schedule a tour today to book your next wedding or event!

“A uniquely classic and elegant venue for an outdoor wedding. I swear this place twinkles when the sun shines through the trees! It is absolutely surreal! It is a beautiful place to get married as the sun sets over the St Johns River. Brooke works so hard to help all your visions come true- she was literally foraging the property for the perfect accents for my centerpieces the day of the wedding! She is a very busy woman and can sometimes be challenging get a hold of, but as my wedding approached, she became much more available. I also did not realize she offers a coordinating service until late in my planning, but I would DEFINATELY recommend it. I never felt pushed or pressured to change my vision, always met with "we can make that happen." I started my day with yoga on the porch, married my best friend, and sailed away from the dock into married life. Pure magic. The venue and vegetation is decoration enough (did I mention a 1000+ year old oak tree and orange trees of the original grove?), and the history of the grove and the St. Johns Rive is quite interesting as well. Huge thank you to Brooke and her team!”

“It’s hard to find the words that appropriately describe this venue. Gorgeous, magical, and very unique are words that hit my mind. It is filled with lush Florida greenery and old orange groves with southern oaks draping the property with Spanish moss. This property turned my dream wedding into reality but it wouldn’t have been what it was without the staff at LaVenture Grove. I decided to get the coordination packages that comes with the one of the packages. This included the help of Brooke and Kendall who both had a huge hand in making my wedding day what it was. Everything ran so smoothly from the day I signed the contract until I made my exit after the reception. There’s always the option to hire outside coordination, However, I felt that hiring the staff at LaVenture would make things a lot easier- and it did. I’m so happy with LaVenture Grove and I would recommend any one wanting a beautiful Florida wedding to spend it here. I still have friends and family raving about how beautiful this place was. My bridesmaid, who is now engaged, just signed her contract with them as well. Don’t sleep on this place!!!”

My wedding went off without a hitch and I didn’t have to stress about a single thing. Beautiful venue makes for STUNNING videos and photos. Highly recommend this venue to anyone getting married!”

“There are not enough words to describe what an amazing place La Venture Grove is! The moment my husband and I pulled up I knew it was the place I had to be and after spending time with Brooke and her family I knew there was no other place I would even consider. My heart was set on that dreamy venue! They were so much help leading up to the wedding and I had Brooke be my wedding coordinator without hesitation. I couldn’t have done it without her help and just having her presence made me feel like nothing could go wrong! The wedding was absolute perfection and to this day everyone who came still talks about how glorious the location was. Just let me spend everyday roaming around La Venture Grove and with the family behind it!”

“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ This place will blow you away! The setting is absolutely stunning with beautiful landscaping and a breathtaking views. The rustic/vintage decor inside the farmhouse includes unique antiques and it’s beautifully decorated. Having a wedding here is like having a wedding at a family members house. The family here is more than accommodating, they go above and beyond to make sure your day is perfect. We can’t say enough wonderful things and will always highly recommend this amazing venue for any occasion. Our wedding was absolutely perfect!!”
