The Heitman House Reviews

I can’t say enough great things about the Heitman House! Our wedding day was absolutely seamless and perfect thanks to their wonderful staff.

Everything about the Heitman House was an absolute dream. From the food, to the staff, planners, location, do not look elsewhere to have your wedding. I wish I could go back to my big day. Thank you to everyone with the Heitman who helped me along the way. You guys were amazing to work with!

The amount of effort that went into our wedding is unprecedented. A misfortunate and devastating hurricane tore Fort Myers apart just 18 days before our destination wedding. It wasn't even supposed to happen at this venue, it was supposed to happen across the street. That venue, unfortunately was pretty beat up after the storm. They assured us it would be everything we wanted and the show could go on but instead at the Alderman House, though it didn't make it unscathed either. Unbelievable! We are so grateful for the effort that went into our wedding. The venue was amazing. Shout out to Jessica, she was the best wedding coordinator! She had no preparation and neither did we. She made sure everything went smooth and the day was incredible.
This venue exceeded our expectations, the food was awesome the DJ knew how to work the people on the dance floor.
You want to do business with these people they are all in!

Thank you

Our venue helped set us up for a great wedding day. We were looking for something to host our out town guests with a unique environment, the beautiful historic house and the views over the water were perfect! Unfortunately, hurricane Ian did some damage but the staff was very communicative and renovated quickly to host all the future brides, the house turned out even better than before! The staff were all so helpful the day of! The food was AMAZING and accommodating for special diets; the guests kept talking about the food for a few days.

The heitman house is an amazing waterfront venue. The staff (especially wedding coordinator Jessica and Dj Juan) were alway available helping make sure both my husband and I were having the best day ever!! I love how the heitman house has a “package price” with the valet, Dj and catering included. All the guest could not stop complementing not only the venue but also how delicious the food was! Both bridal parties have their own suites to get ready at on wedding day, which was super helpful. I am so grateful to of been able to have our wedding at the heitman house especially after hurricane Ian. The team worked very fast with repairs. Definitely book your wedding with the heitman house! You will not regret

Our journey with The Heitman House was a wild ride. We booked in January of 2022 for our 12.3.22 wedding. We attended our tasting in May and loved every bite of the food. When Hurricane Ian devastated Fort Myers, the venue had major damage. Jeremy and his team worked day and night non stop for months to rebuild this beautiful historic home so that we could continue planning our wedding there. When the day finally arrived you would have never known there was any damage. The bridal suite is the most luxurious space I’ve ever seen for a bride. Every single one of my guests told me how fabulous the venue was and how much they loved the historic home - but the food was something that is still being talked about! Guests even took to-go boxes home! I will forever be grateful for the staff at the Heitman House for hosting our dream event!

The Heitman House was a dream wedding venue. Our guests raved all night long at how elegant and beautiful the Heitman House was! The venue went above and beyond our expectations, and it was absolutely stunning seeing it with all the finishing touches and brought to life. Cece & Jeremy are both so wonderful to work with. Cece was amazing start to finish in helping me plan and execute my dream day, and was incredible day-of ensuring all was good to go! I couldn't say enough amazing things about the Heitman House - thank you all for making my dreams come true!!!

The Heitman house is a venue we had attended a few weddings at prior to our engagement. We toured the venue with Jeremy (the owner) and decided that day that we could really picture ourselves getting married here!

We postponed our wedding due to the pandemic from January 2021 to January 2022 and they helped accommodate us flawlessly. We got married at the courthouse on our original date and The Heitman House team allowed us and our parents to come to the venue for a mini photoshoot at our empty venue which made the day so special. Once we finally had our wedding celebration is more beautiful than I ever imagined. Although it ended up being the coldest day in Fort Myers in the last 10 years, the team was able to get lots of heaters to help keep our guests warm at the last minute!

We highly recommend Heitman House for all of your wedding needs!! They have a great list of preferred vendors that were all just as amazing!

The Heitman House was the first put of 3 venues we visited & we just knew it was the perfect one! It had that nature-y vibe I loved & the water front component that my husband loved! The vintage vibes inside that historic house were so pretty & the accommodations incredible! My bridesmaids & I were able to stay the night before & it was a weight off my shoulders! We were all there together and ready at 9am to start getting ready for the big day. The groom & the groomsmen had a place to get ready on property too and it was just perfect we were all there “together”. Cece was great, she was very professional & organized and followed every single one of my requests. She took care of everything the day of & it went perfect! The Heitman House provided me a list of vendors they’ve worked with & I ended up hiring a couple of them and they were amazing too! If you’re indecisive, book a tour & you’ll see what I’m talking about!

Ps. The food they served was exquisite! Our guests had nothing but good compliments on it!

The Heitman House was absolutely wonderful! We enjoyed every minute of our special day! The wedding coordinator CeCe was fabulous! She was so good at her job and made me feel at ease! Jeremy the owner was so awesome! He answered every question I had with responsivness and polietness. We were treated so wonderfully by the staff! Dennis the chef made fantastic food! We had a pasta bar and it was delicious! I am so grateful my parents provided for me to enjoy my wedding day at the best venue in town. I am still beaming with joy reminiscing on the day and every special moment that was created! I did not feel stressed that day, now leading up to it was a differant story lol. Seriously though this team is awesome and I would HIGHLY recommend using The Heitman House for your special day too!

Working with Jeremy felt just like we were planning our wedding with a friend. He explained everything really well and genuinely had our best interest in mind and worked with us to make sure we were able to get what we needed. I can't even begin to explain HOW incredible it is to have so many vendors in one. Saves so much time and stress.

We had originally planned a destination wedding and was cancelled due to covid. This was apparently the best thing that could have happned to us.
A week after we cancelled we found the Heitman house. This venue is not only historic and beautiful, but from start to finish you get the best wedding experience you could ever ask for. Jeremy, Cici, and Lexi have really gone out of their way to throw dream wedding. We would do it again it was that great. They were flexible with our needs, they had fun ideas for us to add to the wedding, and they really take care of a lot of the event in house; ceremony setup, food, reception setup, scheduling and detailing, they can do it all.
We recommend going to one of their events and meetings all the vendors, we had help from everyone we met there. Limilu photography captured great shots. Lhegend officiated a great wedding ceremony. Juan Gomez was the best dj, not only did he play great music, but helped with getting my wife and I drinks, food, and any song we requested. Something Bloomed floral is better than the photos, send them ideas and they will get it done. The food is all good, get the skirt steak and tortellini, you will not regret it.
Overall we want to thank Jeremy and Lexi for working so hard to help us get everything done. This is something they really take a lot of pride in, and you will not regret it having your wedding with them.

Jeremy, Lexi, and Cece were all so helpful in making my big day absolutely perfect. Lexi in particular was so easy to get along with and worked so hard to make my wedding day flow smoothly. It was really difficult planning my wedding from 2000 miles away but they made it better than I could have ever imagined!! Will definitely recommend them to anybody looking to get married in Fort Myers!

The team at the Heitman House are an absolute dream to work with! They went above and beyond what was asked of them, especially Cece, Lexi and Jeremy. They definitely put my mind at ease the day of the wedding. They took care of everything! They definitely love what they do and it shows. Just hire them! You won't regret it!

The Heitman House is hands down one of the best event venues in Fort Myers. It was important for my husband & I to have an inclusive venue where we didn’t have to coordinate with a ton of other vendors. Jeremy, Cece, Lexi and staff are amazing. They go above and beyond to accommodate all of their brides wishes. They go out of their way to ensure the day is exactly as planned. Two weeks later my guests still talk about how smooth everything went & it was one of the most beautiful weddings they’ve attended! In particular, guests have said the food was the best wedding food they’ve had & the DJ was so much fun! Thank you Heitman staff for making my wedding weekend better than I could imagine. Will continue to highly recommend to friends & family!

Jose and Larry were great to me. I will always have good things to say about them. If you decide on this venue, you will be surprised with how beautiful it is and how great the service is. They really work with you no matter what your budget is. They have great professionalism and I'm so happy that I booked them. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Jeremy, CeCe, Lexi and staff are all absolutely amazing! Our wedding was absolutely perfect and above and beyond what we ever imagined it could be. They were so great even through changes due to COVID, guest list changes, etc. The food was DELICIOUS. And we even got to eat a full meal at our own wedding thanks to their staff! I can’t say enough good things about them. Thank you so much for making our day so special.

This place was so perfect for our small wedding. The house is beautiful and getting married right on the water was gorgeous. Our wedding was a destination wedding on a Monday so cheaper than on the weekend so made it very affordable. We did not hire a DJ so just played music from our phone on their speaker which worked great. The speaker was on the porch and could hear music all the way to waterfront.

I’ll begin with, if you’re in search of a wedding venue, look no further! The Heitman House made all of our wedding dreams come true and then some! Not only is the property absolutely stunning all on its own, but the owner and staff played such a MASSIVE role in what made our day better than we could have ever imagined! Plus, they were so easy to work with, timely responses, and beyond knowledgeable, which made the wedding planning A LOT less stressful! And if your someone who likes to make sure your money is going to a business that is run by genuinely good and hard working people- The Heitman is it!!
My now husband and I were set to get married on May 24, 2020. Then... Covid. We were in the midst of trying to figure out what the best decision would be for us, our family and friends, as this was set to be a destination wedding. We had been hearing all of the nightmares other brides were going through during this time with venues and vendors not willing to work with them, offering no other options or refunds. Stressed was an understatement. I would like to give a huge shout out to the owner, Jeremy. Jeremy took the time to not only keep us informed with the latest restrictions, Covid cases, etc., but also made time to give my husband and I his full attention to talk out how we were feeling about everything. What seemed to us like such a hard decision pondering all the “what if’s”, to postpone or keep as planned, Jeremy made so simple. It became clear that May 24th was just a day and what was important was having our loved ones around and safe. Jeremy did not make us feel pressured to keep the wedding in May or guilty about contemplating postponing the wedding. Even thought this was his business and livelihood also being caught in a whirlwind, he truly made us feel like he put our special day first and we were going to figure it out together. Jeremy took such a huge load of stress off of our shoulders and we cannot thank him enough for just simply understanding and doing whatever he could to make sure we still had a perfect day! And perfect it was!!!
Our wedding day coordinator was Cece and she was AMAZING!! She manages people well and also helped with some last minute decor/set up ideas!
I hate to admit that when we were planning, the food didn’t much matter to me because I thought “no one ever really talks about the food...” Thankfully, my husband took charge of what we chose for appetizers and dinner, and THE PEOPLE TALKED!! We still have people tell us how amazing the steak was! And they didn’t just talk about the entrées, but the appetizers were also incredible!

Again, we cannot thank the Heitman House enough for making all of our wedding day dreams come true. The Heitman House and the staff will always hold a special place in our hearts. Cheers to you all!

We had our wedding at the Heitman House and it was great! Jeremy, Cece, and Lexi were all wonderful in ensuring our day was how we envisioned it. The venue itself is gorgeous, with many white lights hanging over the patio, and the porch was recently expanded, thus making it a HUGE area for guests to mingle. Gorgeous sunset views and waterfront. The food was very good, especially the skirt steak (upcharge, but worth it!). Our guests raved about the gorgeous location and the good food. They also are very well connected with other photographers, DJs, etc., so they were able to recommend all wonderful vendors who were very familiar with the Heitman House and did a phenomenal job as well.

So far I have had the greatest time planning our wedding. I am really glad my fiancee and I will be spending our special day at this beautiful venue. It is worth the price. I can also say that the majority of our stress was relieved once we booked.

We can’t brag enough about the Heitman house !! From the moment we stepped into the house and met Jeremy we knew this is hands down where we were going to get married ! The venue itself is so incredibly beautiful and on the water . They truly have it all figured out at this venue and they think of everything. They’re so easy to work with and they mad everything so easy . From our food tasting that was an event put on by the venue and invited all of the brides and Grooms to taste all the food was epic ! It felt like we were at a wedding and it was a glimpse of what our wedding Would be like . My bridesmaids and I had the whole house to get ready in with lots of rooms
And good lighting for hair and make up and getting dressed . My husband and all of his grooms men had a separate house to spend the day in with a full kitchen and bedroom and hangout room to be comfortable before the wedding . Their customers service is outstanding! Everyone that works there is so kind and helpful and professional! The food was amazing and the skirt steak was a HUGE HIT! People won’t stop talking about that steak. Cece was so incredible with handling everything and making sure everything was going smoothly and perfect .
They worked with us on so many things and they’re such understanding people. Getting married at the Heitman house was a dream come true ! Everything was first class and everything turned out better than I could have ever imagined! Thank you for everything you guys did for us ! Our wedding day was magical !

Jeremy, Cece and their team were absolutely amazing from start to finish! My wedding was 1920s/Prohibition/Speakeasy themed and they did such a great job with the decor and really creating a speakeasy atmosphere. The food was fantastic, the bartenders were friendly and quick. Overall my wedding was truly a dream. The Heitman is the PERFECT venue.

They deserve 10000 stars! Jeremy, Cece and the team are incredible! My wedding was perfection from start to finish! I wouldn’t change a thing! My guests had an amazing time and are still talking about the delicious FOOD! I loved that they offer so much unlike other venues who nickel and dime you for everything!! They even included a DJ who was amazing! At the heitman house you aren’t just another bride and groom! They treat you like family and make your day perfect! I want to redo my wedding everyday! Don’t look anywhere else! The Heitman house will check all your boxes and then some! Best day ever!
