Why Gaylord Palms

A resort built for big celebrations

Gaylord Palms is made for a multi-day Indian wedding. Everything happens under one roof: a vast glass-roofed atrium filled with palms and Spanish-style architecture, courtyards for an outdoor-feeling ceremony, and ballrooms big enough for a full Sangeet and reception, with your guests staying just steps away.

It’s also an easy destination. Family flying in from around the world lands in Orlando and never needs to leave the resort all weekend.

“Aarsh and Astha’s wedding was a true celebration of love and culture, with over 300 guests coming together from all over the world.”

Soft daylight through the glass roof, palms and fountains, and grand architecture in every direction. It feels like an outdoor shoot, without the Florida heat.

Stone arches & grotto

Rough stone walls and dark arches that make ivory and gold outfits glow. Our go-to spot for bridal party photos.
