"We could not have wished for a better venue. Despite the devastation hurricane Ian caused, Jeremy and his team pulled off an amazing turnaround. Within a few months they turned the venue around to continue with our wedding on 12/26/22. The venue looks beautiful. We also enjoyed the food tasting event, which helped a ton. The professionalism of the coordinators throughout the year, and day of made everything super easy, and flowed smoothly. DJ Juan Gomez was wonderful. I also want to mention how amazing chef Renee is. She pulled off an AMAZING dinner, she had not cooked our specific dish before, and we had MANY compliments. Thank you Heitman crew! ❤️"
"I was lucky enough to watch my brother walk down the aisle here, and I gotta say this place was amazing, despite everything that it (and the town) has gone through the past year. To start, the valet parking was spot on, and free! The interior is really rustic but beautiful. It has multiple sections and rooms to accommodate what you might need for your event. Out back is a very large brick and stone area for a dance floor, dining, etc. And it goes out right up to the water, which makes for amazing views! The staff went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable and having a good time. To catering, valet, prep and cleanup, (and at one point a Medic!) everyone deserves a huge thank you and love for making a special day that much more. They also let us stay later than most places and were very courteous to not rush us as we had what mustve been 100-150 people. Thank you all again!"
"Heitman House truly made our wedding dreams come true! Our previous venue was destroyed in the hurricane and the Heitman House team went absolutely above and beyond to support us and help make our wedding happen. As soon as we stepped foot on the property we knew we wanted to get married there and everything we saw and experienced after that kept confirming that fact over and over. The staff was so accommodating throughout the entire process and we cannot thank Jeremy and Jessica enough for being so caring. The team stepped up for SO many couples that were effected by the hurricane and they truly have been an absolute blessing for the Fort Myers and wedding community. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, with a newly renovated DREAM bridal suite (all the natural light, so much room and spots for pictures, absolutely beautiful), a separate groom suite, the beautiful home itself, and the amazing backstory of this home being built as a wedding present from husband to wife! Our absolute favorite was the back of the property-- the most beautiful lights, view, palm trees, space for dancing/tables and just overall breathtaking beauty. Our guests were absolutely amazed this was our 'backup' venue and we ourselves wished we would have seem this venue originally so we could have booked it. We can't imagine our wedding anywhere else and we are truly grateful to have had the Heitman House and their team host our wedding. (photos courtesy of Taylor Shea Photography)"
"Our wedding day at Heitman House was absolutely perfect. Every detail was taken care of, and we were free to enjoy our special day without the slightest worry or stress. We had to reschedule our wedding due to covid, and the team was so wonderful during the whole process of finding a new date. During our planning process, my husband and I relocated to Scotland, but the team at Heitman House was incredible about staying in touch, working with our different time schedule for calls, and making sure that everything was exactly what we wanted even though we were planning from so far away. When we flew back to the States for the wedding, I knew everything was already taken care of and perfectly organized. The venue is absolutely gorgeous, the bridal suite and groom's suite are the perfect spaces for getting ready on the wedding day, and not having to worry about a separate vendor for our DJ or catering was a blessing. The waterfront ceremony was gorgeous, and the entire house and grounds make for beautiful photos. Our food was amazing (especially the tortellini and the bruschetta) and everything on our menu was able to be tailored to our tastes. We were also able to request two custom cocktails at our bar for our guests, both of which were a huge hit with our guests. Our DJ was great about working with us on our music throughout the day, from the walk down the aisle to the music playing while we cut our cake. My husband and I honestly can't say enough good things about Heitman House, and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone planning their wedding."
"From the moment we toured the venue up to our wedding day, we felt like family. Jeremy, Lexi, Cece and everyone else were the absolute greatest to work with! The venue is stunning and well kept, the food is to die for, the open bar was a hit (with an Italian family, that is necessary lol), the DJ was amazing, the list goes on. We seriously can not thank each and every one of them for all of their help on our big day! Everything was absolutely perfect and we had such a great time!"
