About 45 minutes from New Port Richey
New Port Richey couples have the Gulf. What they usually do not have is a venue where the weather is somebody else’s problem. Saxon Manor is about 34 miles and 45 minutes inland, with three climate-controlled rooms and a rain plan that is a room, not a tent.

Is it worth the drive?
West Pasco weddings tend to start with the water and end with a weather conversation. A coastal venue is a beautiful idea for eight months of the year and a gamble for the other four. The estate is 45 minutes east, and the trade you make for the drive is a day that does not depend on the forecast: three air-conditioned venues, ceremony sites under the oaks, and a coordinator who makes the indoor call while you are getting ready.
Guests from New Port Richey, Port Richey, Hudson, and Trinity all make the drive in under an hour and get home the same night. The ceremony and reception are on the same grounds, parking is on site, and the price you are quoted already includes the team.
Your other options
Spartan Manor on Massachusetts Avenue is the one most West Pasco couples have been to: a banquet venue with an outdoor ceremony spot and indoor ballrooms, in business 40-plus years, with no venue fee and a WeddingWire price range of $6,000 to $9,000 for 100 guests. The Hacienda, the century-old hotel downtown, lists weddings from $5,950 depending on services. Luxxe Weddings and Events Hall in Port Richey is a newer draped event hall. All three are indoor rooms, which is the right instinct in Florida; the difference is what comes with the room.
A $6,000 to $9,000 banquet package for 100 covers the room and the food. Photographer, DJ, officiant, cake, and a coordinator for the whole engagement are typically yours to hire. The Garden Room at Saxon Manor is $15,000 to $21,000 for up to 150 with all of them included, and the BoHo is $9,500 to $12,500 for up to 55. Add the five missing vendors to the banquet number before you decide the drive is not worth it.
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 New Port Richey: Ridge Road to the Suncoast Parkway (SR 589, tolled) north to SR 50, then east into Brooksville, about 34 miles and 45 minutes. The toll-free route is US-19 north to SR 50 east, a few minutes longer. 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
Weather and the inclusion list. Three climate-controlled venues on one estate mean the rain plan costs nothing. And the all-inclusive number already covers the photographer, DJ, officiant, cake, and coordinator that a banquet package in New Port Richey usually leaves out.
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.
Generally the months venues are asked for least: in Florida that tends to be the hot, wet stretch from July through September, plus January outside the holidays. At Saxon Manor the range works the same way: a smaller guest list on a less-requested date sits at the low end, and you get the exact number for your date on the tour.
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.
