Bridal Party Celebrates in Luxury and Old Florida Charm at
Steinhatchee Landing Resort
STEINHATCHEE, Fla. (Year 2009) – Standing tall amid the moss-draped oaks and
soaring pines of Steinhatchee Landing Resort, the Gothic-style Dancing Waters’ Chapel
greets guests at the Resort’s front entrance.
This 2,000-square-foot structure seats 125 persons and features 12-foot tall
stained glass windows, vaulted ceilings, bride and groom dressing areas, and superb
acoustics. Antique wood derived from an 1800s Georgian Hotel is incorporated into the
doors, windows and interior walls. A ledge surrounding the interior reflects plates
engraved with the names of those married here. Dancing Waters’ Chapel provides a
classic romantic setting for the most memorable of days.
Not far from the chapel is the Resort’s outdoor gazebo. Surrounded by a
sprawling lawn, water garden and lush greenery, the gazebo is perfect for smaller
weddings, vow renewals and anniversary observances. The setting is also ideal for live
entertainment and catered events.
An on-site wedding coordinator is assigned to assist the couple with every detail
of their big day, from catering and flowers to reception festivities and photography. The
perfect reception locale may be found in the Landing’s Georgian-style Conference
Center or on the croquet lawn along the Steinhatchee River. Steinhatchee Landing
provides outstanding catering services, with menus customized for the individual group
and budget.
The Landing’s new Magnolia Room provides an additional 900 square feet of
entertaining space for receptions. Connected to the Conference Center by a covered
walkway and wrapped in a bright white exterior, the Magnolia Room stands out amid the
property’s lush natural landscape. Constructed in the Landing’s signature vernacularstyle with large windows, the octagonal space has a tin roof, shaker accents, and
hardwood floors, perfect for dancing the night away. The Magnolia Room can easily
accommodate 40 persons and provides a serving kitchen. A unique outdoor area
adjoins the two buildings, featuring an ornate fountain covered in glass tiles to capture
the light, and an 8-person table for additional seating.

-2The Resort’s magnificent honeymoon cottages offer the bride and groom an
elegant beginning to their lives together. Nestled in the peaceful woods near the
Resort’s main office, the one-bedroom cottages line a private gravel drive hugged by
natural Florida landscape. A spacious front porch welcomes guests into luxuriously
decorated villa-style accommodations that rival the most elegant five-star resort. As in
the Landing’s other cottages, fresh flowers greet each guest upon arrival in the large
main room featuring a bedroom area and sitting/dining area appointed with rich, French
country-style furniture and décor, a 32” television with VCR, and stereo with CD player.
Solid wood nightstands embrace king-sized beds complete with down comforters and
exquisite linens. Rich, solid wood floors are covered with hand-chosen area rugs, and
the rafters and hearth contain antique wood accents taken from a Georgian hotel built in
1836. Dimmable lighting and a large, glass-enclosed gas fireplace add a touch of
romance and warmth to the main room. Situated in the wall separating the main room
and spacious bathroom, the fireplace can also be enjoyed while soaking in the oversized
spa tub with twin-heated backrests. The state-of-the-art, Ultra Thermo Masseur tubs are
surrounded by lavish Italian marble and feature separate hand-held and rain-head
showers. Each bath contains a TV set into the wall and comes complete with oversized
towels, luxurious bathrobes and Gilchrist & Soames deluxe bath and spa products.
Like Steinhatchee Landing’s other accommodations, each of the Honeymoon
Cottages features a fully equipped kitchen, complete with a refrigerator, dishwasher,
small stove and washer/dryer. The kitchen area leads to the rear of each unit and opens
to an outdoor patio with a grill. Three of the units overlook the creek and feature a
screened-in back porch.
The Resort’s many amenities are available to all cottage guests, including
complimentary continental breakfast daily, pool, fitness center, indoor swim spa and
sauna and outdoor Jacuzzi. Steinhatchee Landing can also arrange fishing trips, scallop
trips (in season), off-property canoe adventures and guided nature excursions for bird
watching and hiking. Several restaurants are located just minutes from the Resort,
serving up the finest in Florida seafood.
