I'll start off by stating that I've been in the events industry for over 8 years and have seen dozens of venues. Walton House is the perfect garden/tropic/boho/fairytale outdoor venue in South Florida! This is not just a pretty location - it's an experience for your guests! From the beautiful cottage style bridal suite, to their huge lagoon with swans and the many birds and wildlife (including flamingoes and lemurs). My event was fully outdoor and the intimate reception under their trees was magical with string lights all around (included). They also include a bonfire with seating. Frank was very easy to work with and the venue offers a lot of flexibility in terms of hours and use of the property. Our day was a dream!

The most beautiful romantic breathtaking venue! The Historic Walton House is beyond everything a bride and groom dream of for their wedding day. This venue has beautiful and well-kept greenery around the entire property; it has gorgeous flowers, exotic animals and the perfect landscape to capture the most unique photos. The bridal suite is one of a kind, with its historical and chic decorations- it feels like something out of a movie. Everyone that attended the wedding was in awe and amazed with the entire venue. We kept getting complimented on how beautiful and unique the venue was- definitely a memorable wedding. My husband and I both wanted an outdoor/indoor wedding and The Historic Walton House was everything we dreamed of. We had never seen a venue like this in South Florida. We did our ceremony outdoors under a beautiful crafted arch already installed in the property. The greenery and the flowers around it made it look so magical. Our reception was held half outdoors and the ... Read moredancing was done indoors in their stunning farmhouse. I loved that the venue has both outdoor and indoor options. There are so many beautiful areas of the venue to choose from and so much for the guests to enjoy! Our guests were entertained the entire time! My wedding day was a dream come true! My husband and I are so thankful for Frank, the owner of Walton House. He made us feel welcomed and greeted us with so much love. From the moment we met Frank, we were so moved by his story, the history of this venue and we immediately fell in love with the property. He was very attentive and available to answer any questions at all times. We met Frank through an organization called Wish Upon a Wedding- It grants weddings and vow renewals to couples facing serious illnesses or life altering health circumstances. I have been battling brain cancer the past 2 years and having a wedding at this venue was a wish come true. It everything I always dreamed of. Frank was contacted by the organization and he immediately jumped on board and allowed us to host our wedding at his gorgeous venue. He has an enormous heart and we are so thankful that he opened up this gem for us to celebrate with family and friends. We are forever grateful!

Wow just got back from seeing this amazing place. I was born and raised in Florida but this place made me feel like I was in another planet! Also met Frank, Frank is super friendly such a great guy can’t wait to see this spot again!

Let me start by saying that my husband and I were extremely blessed and actually won an all inclusive micro-wedding in which the Historic Walton House was the chosen venue. And OMG am I lucky that it was! Frank at The Historic Walton was such a pleasure to work with. Was always asking what he could do to help or just offering us cold refreshments. Now, the venue itself was out of this world. there isn't a bad angle in the entire place. The nature and beauty of it is so peaceful and serene. And the bridal suite makes for some lovely vintage chic photos. It is big enough to host a large wedding or something intimate and romantic such as my own. If I had to do it all over again even without the contest, I would with out a doubt! Highly highly recommend!

Frank IS one of the nicest people I’ve ever encountered to do business with in Miami. I’ve visited a lot of garden style venues around Miami and couldn’t decide which was the best until I visited Historic Walton House. It was love at first sight — I immediately fell in love with this magical place. There are monkeys, flamingos, peacocks, swans, parrots and many many animals here. You can forget anything bad that’s happening in your life once you step your feet into HWH because it’s truly a paradise. And as animal lovers, my husband and I couldn’t appreciate more about how Frank rescued a lot of animals. But what really made me pick HWH was Frank — when he toured us, you just could tell he was not just doing business but he devoted his passion and love to HWH. He loves his place and his animals wholeheartedly and I knew it’s a blessing to do business with such a genuine person. And I was not wrong. Frank has always been helpful, responsive, attentive, and very very swe... Read moreet. I just can’t seem to find enough good words to describe his attitude towards his business. We visited HWH in Dec 2019 and our wedding was scheduled in May 2020. Unfortunately COVID-19 happened in March and we were forced to reschedule our wedding. Because of our personal reasons, we still wanted to have our wedding ASAP instead of postponing to next year but there were a lot of uncertainties going on especially in Miami-dade county. The venue had to close and reopen and face another “reclose” as the indoor dining was not allowed by the county. When I almost lost my hope of having my July Wedding, despite all the hardship, Frank tried his hardest to contact local officer and made our wedding happen. He complied with COVID-19 guidance by preparing masks, hand sanitizers and limiting guest counts. It was during such a hard time that the Frank’s attitude and integrity really shined through — he never refused to help but has always been there to try to help us. The wedding was so beautiful, it was definitely the best memory in my whole life. I just couldn’t appreciate more. Moreover, Frank’s sister Matie was also a very sweet lady. She owns the Airbnb next door, so if you are looking for a place to stay after the wedding, definitely consider her Airbnb. It was so clean, organize and spacious. Frank’s mom makes really good coffee too! His whole family is just so welcoming and sweet. If you are looking for a tropical garden style venue, look no further, because you won’t regret a tiny bit to do business with Frank and have a unforgettable wedding here.

I absolutely love the Historic Walton House. The venue is stunning to say the least and it really does have a magical aspect to it. It feels like you are in a different place and not in Miami and that is just the venue. The owners of this place are beyond nice and extremely helpful. I would always recommend this venue to anyone having a celebration.

From the very beginning, my husband and I knew that we wanted an outdoor wedding. Me being from the Caribbean and him being from Miami, it only made sense to us to celebrate our union in an outdoor atmosphere. We started looking for venues that could accommodate a large wedding and the Walton House was the first that we visited. It was love at first sight! I’m an island girl so I basically grew up in paradise, and it was very important to me that we could find a venue that had a taste of home. The Walton House provided exactly that :) A beautiful and spacious tropical oasis with so much to offer, from their lush and gorgeous gardens, plants and flowers, to the number of exotic animals they shelter all over the estate. As we visited it, we could picture where each part of our big day would take place and we loved the fact that we could host our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception each in a different, charming and unique space! We wanted to provide an amazing experience to our guests... Read more, especially since many of them traveled quite far to celebrate with us. The Walton House is an attraction in itself, and we knew that our guests would have a wonderful time just by walking around this vast estate. To top it all, Frank, the owner, is delightful to work with! He was always very accommodating recommended us the best caterer ever :) We did our due diligence and visited the other venues we had short listed, but in the end we knew we had found the perfect place. We highly recommend this beautiful venue to any couples out there looking to celebrate their union in paradise!

This place is magical. From the tropical setting to the incredible animals, this is literally a one-of-a-king place. Frank is the absolute sweetest and such a pleasure to work with. It’s hard to even call this a “venue” because it is so much more. We will be coming back to visit as often as we can! Thank you Frank!!

When searching for a venue Historic Walton House sent all of their information over right away!

Frank made the experience so incredibly enjoyable. We had the wedding of our dreams at the Walton House on 4/20/19. The venue was pristine.. truly magical like something out of a fairytale. The venue was pretty far south from our home base, but worth every second of travel. Our guests could not believe the venue’s beauty. It seems like behind every corner, you find breathtaking nooks and crannies. So many commented that it seemed to be a “hidden gem”. Frank was so helpful every step of the way. He was always available to us. He was so patient and kind. We cannot say enough good things about this place, Frank, his family, his staff.. Bravo! We urge anyone who is thinking about this space for an event to ABSOLUTELY DO IT. The best decision of our entire wedding!! Thank you, Frank!

We love the Walton House! The moment we visited the venue my husband and I instantly fell in love. The venue is so charming and whimsical. We really like how lush the property was for the perfect backdrop. The animals are a great touch for your wedding guests. Frank and his team were very helpful leading up to the wedding. They were kind enough to make us coffee the morning of the wedding and gift us champagne to enjoy. They cleaned the venue beforehand and made sure the animals were "party ready!" Everyone could not stop talking about how different the venue was and nothing like they've ever seen. Our little secret garden! I totally recommend the venue for your upcoming event.

When me and my mom went looking at venues for my wedding, we just couldn't stop comparing all the other venues to The Historic Walton House. It wasn't just its whimsical charm that got us, but the owner was so genuine and accommodating. At the end of our tour, he was so willing to help with vendors that he even said, "Even if you dont choose us as your venue, I'll give you my preferred vendor list and I hope it turns out just the way you want it." That gesture alone won us over. We cant thank Frank enough for accommodating us. We cant wait for our wedding!

The Historic Walton House was the first venue we went to see when venue shopping and we instantly fell in love with this magical place. We then went on to see 11 more places and ended up coming back to the Walton house and booking our dream venue. We loved this place so much we were willing to splurge a little more for it. Frank and his mom are great and very accommodating. Every single guest loved this place as much as we did =)

My fiancee' and I reserved a date for our wedding at The Walton House, but had to cancel shortly after for specific reasons. We don't live in Miami, so we decided to fly down to speak to Frank personally regarding our decision. He mentioned he would return a portion of our deposit since we were cancelling way in advance and that "no other venue or company does this". (which is false.). Since then, he has refused to do so and has completely ignored all calls and emails. He was very helpful during the beginning to show off his property and quick to reply via email when collecting money - but, when the role is reversed, he disappears. We put down a lot of money, and as a business owner, it's sad that he has decided to simply pocket it instead of return it as he mentioned - knowing he has done nothing, aside form showing us the venue and providing a pamphlet with preferred vendors. We've been extremely nice, even when ignored- but, we've had enough and leaving this review is to express our... Read more frustration. Unfortunately, this exact situation has occurred to another mutual couple and after several emails and calls ignored, they have decided to stop trying.
