About 30 to 40 minutes up US-41
Lutz and Land O’ Lakes sit on the same road as the estate. US-41 north, about 26 miles and 30 to 35 minutes from Land O’ Lakes, closer to 40 from Lutz, and you are in downtown Brooksville with three venues, an in-house team, and one price.

Is it worth the drive?
The lakefront venues around Land O’ Lakes and Odessa are the obvious choice from here, and they are good at what they do. The question is what the package includes once you read it. Saxon Manor is half an hour north on US-41, and its all-inclusive number already has the coordinator, chefs, bar and event staff, photographer, DJ, cake, and officiant inside it. There is one contract and one deposit.
The other difference is weather. Three climate-controlled venues on one estate mean the rain plan is a room you walk into, not a tent somebody sourced on Thursday. For an outdoor-minded couple in Lutz, that is the part to think about before the lake view.
Your other options
Cypress Creek Event Venue on SR 52 in Land O’ Lakes is a rustic barn with a pond that offers everything from a basic rental to all-inclusive packages. Knotted Roots on the Lake and the Barn at Crescent Lake, both a few minutes west in Odessa, are the lakefront pair: Knotted Roots with all-inclusive packages, Crescent Lake all-inclusive with catering, cake, DJ, coordination, and bar service in its packages and no public rate card. Those three are the honest local shortlist.
Where Saxon Manor differs is the list. Our base price includes the photographer and the officiant, which the all-inclusive barns in this corridor generally do not, and every venue here has its own ceremony site plus a climate-controlled reception room, so there is no flip and no tent. The Barn is $15,000 to $21,000 for up to 150, the Garden Room the same for up to 150, the BoHo $9,500 to $12,500 for up to 55. The numbers are on the pricing page, not behind a form.
Three venues, one estate
Luxury chic
Our largest space. Draped interiors, vintage detail and a private wooded setting — climate controlled, and built for a full guest list without ever feeling like a hall.
*The Barn can accommodate up to 200 guests maximum, and a $50 per person charge will be applied at any party size over 150.
Illuminated
Bright and light-filled, with garden views, an outdoor ceremony site in the butterfly garden, and enough light to photograph all afternoon.
Micro-wedding
A covered, climate-controlled corner of the estate for a smaller guest list with a bigger personality. Not a scaled-down wedding — a different one, chosen on purpose.
One number
The Barn and the Garden Room run $15,000 to $21,000 all-inclusive for up to 150 guests. The BoHo runs $9,500 to $12,500 for up to 55. Those numbers cover the ceremony site, the reception room, a coordinator, in-house chefs, bar and event staff, photographer, DJ, cake, and officiant. The full list is itemized here, and the pricing page explains where you land in the range. To see how that compares with other Florida venues, the all-inclusive comparison guide puts five side by side.
All three venues are climate controlled, and the rain plan moves your day indoors on the same estate at the same price. In Florida that is not a footnote.
Getting here
From Land O’ Lakes: US-41 north into Brooksville, about 26 miles and 31 to 34 minutes. From Lutz, add a few minutes. No tolls on this route. We are in downtown Brooksville, 45 minutes from Tampa and 90 from Orlando.
Parking is on site. Ceremony and reception are on the same grounds, so nobody drives between them. The guest planning page covers accessibility, dietary needs, and timing for people driving home in the dark.
For family staying over, the two hotels at the Suncoast Parkway and Cortez Boulevard interchange (a Holiday Inn Express and a Fairfield Inn, about eight miles west of the estate) are the ones to block for guests arriving from the west and south. Your coordinator sends current rates for your date.
Before you ask
About 40 minutes north on US-41, with no tolls. Land O’ Lakes is 26 miles and about half an hour. Both are an easy same-day round trip for guests.
The Barn and the Garden Room run $15,000 to $21,000 all-inclusive for up to 150 guests. The BoHo runs $9,500 to $12,500 for up to 55. Where you land depends on guest count and date, and you get your exact number on the tour.
Your day moves indoors on the same estate at the same price. All three venues are climate controlled and your coordinator makes the call while you are getting ready.
Florida gives you four kinds of place: the Gulf and Atlantic beaches, the Keys, the Orlando resorts, and the inland estates and ranches north of Tampa. The beaches and resorts price by the plate and depend on the weather; the inland venues are where all-inclusive packages and climate-controlled rooms live. Saxon Manor is one of those, in Brooksville, 45 minutes from Tampa, with three venues on one estate and published prices from $9,500 to $21,000.
For the building alone, yes; a $10,000 site fee is roughly a third of what the wedding ends up costing once vendors are added. For an all-inclusive package it is the low end. The BoHo at Saxon Manor is $9,500 to $12,500 for up to 55 guests with the ceremony site, reception, coordinator, chefs, bar, photographer, DJ, cake, and officiant included.
The Knot’s 2026 Real Weddings Study puts the national average at $34,200 for 117 guests, about $292 a guest, which makes roughly $29,000 the national midpoint for 100. At Saxon Manor a 100-guest wedding in the Barn or Garden Room sits inside the $15,000 to $21,000 all-inclusive range, with florals, dress, rings, and honeymoon on top.
Booking 2027 & 2028
A tour takes about an hour. You’ll see all three venues, the Bridal Suites, and leave with real pricing for your date and guest count — not a brochure.
