When you picture saying your vows, you probably imagine a setting that feels both grand and deeply personal. At Legacy at Oak Meadows in Pierson, Florida, we see couples gravitate toward our outdoor ceremony sites where old oaks draped in Spanish Moss naturally arch overhead. These trees create a canopy that feels like stepping into a cathedral without walls, one shaped by time and nature.
Spanish Moss trees create a natural, cathedral-like atmosphere for weddings by forming a canopy overhead. The moss catches the light beautifully, especially during golden hour, and the space offers a sense of reverence while remaining welcoming. This setting enhances the ceremony experience, making it both intimate and sacred without the need for additional decor.
Our property spans 300 acres, which gives you room to host a celebration that feels private while still welcoming up to 250 guests. The brick-paved ceremony site under the oaks at Legacy at Oak Meadows is the most popular space for couples who want the Spanish Moss canopy. From there, it is a short walk or golf cart ride to cocktail hour at the Sawgrass Barn by the pond or into the air-conditioned White Barn for dinner and dancing. The flow feels natural, and guests never lose the connection to the outdoors that makes this place so distinct.

The trees here are more than a backdrop. Spanish Moss catches the light in a way that frames every moment, especially during golden hour. Couples often say it gives their ceremony the sense of reverence they were hoping for without adding extra decor. Guests are seated under the canopy, and the sound carries well through the branches, almost like it does in a vaulted hall. It is a space that feels both sacred and welcoming, which is why so many couples choose Legacy at Oak Meadows for their vows.
Planning an outdoor ceremony in Florida means you also want indoor comfort nearby. The White Barn at Legacy at Oak Meadows seats 250 and is fully air-conditioned, so no matter the season, your guests are taken care of. The Bridal Bungalow offers 800 square feet with multiple makeup stations and a private porch, while the Groom’s Lounge comes with a poker table, leather seating, and even a lake to fish in right outside. We run a golf cart across the property so everyone can get from one space to the next with ease.
You are welcome to bring your own licensed caterer, and many couples enjoy that flexibility. Alcohol may be furnished by the couple but must be served by one of the bartenders from our approved list, ensuring everything runs smoothly. We also require a month of coordination from our vendor listing, so you have professional guidance in place. These policies help couples feel secure that the flow of the day is handled without limiting their choices.
Many couples choose to include our custom branding service as part of their ceremony. We heat the couple’s branding iron and they burn their design into a loft step in the White Barn, then take the iron home as a keepsake. Others make use of the skeet shooting excursion for the groom and groomsmen on the morning of the wedding, or photos with our Texas Longhorn cattle and miniature donkeys. These touches add personality and give you memories that reflect who you are together at Legacy at Oak Meadows.
The Spanish Moss trees create a setting that feels timeless, and every ceremony under them carries that sense of quiet beauty. If you want to see how this space feels in person, we invite you to book a tour at Legacy at Oak Meadows. Walk the property, stand beneath the oaks, and imagine your vows surrounded by friends, family, and the natural cathedral overhead.
