America’s Seaplane City
Tavares sits on Lake Dora about 16 road miles from the shop via SR-441 and SR-19 — just past our 15-mile flat zone, so delivery prices around $67 for the whole order and the exact figure shows at checkout. The waterfront is the draw: Wooton Park hosts the city’s festivals and the seaplane fly-ins, lakefront homes along the Lake Dora shore book wedding tents, and the Royal Harbor and Lake Frances Estates communities book tables and chairs for clubhouse and backyard gatherings.
Wooton Park and the waterfront
Wooton Park is a City of Tavares facility and events there need a city permit; once yours is approved, send us the load-in window and site map and we set up inside it, with a certificate of insurance if the city asks. The waterfront takes a steady afternoon breeze off Lake Dora, so tents there — and on lakefront lawns along the shore — get extra ratchet lines as standard, and we anchor with weighted footings on the seawall-side hardscape instead of stakes.
Permits on private property
Tents up to 900 square feet are exempt from the Florida Fire Prevention Code, which covers our 20×20 and 20×40. Larger tents, or any side 30 feet or longer, need a Lake County permit and fire-protection review; we prepare the application and the flame-resistance certificate and schedule around the review. Inside city limits the City of Tavares building office is the contact — we confirm which applies to your address before you book.
What people book in Tavares
Lakefront weddings run a 20×40 high peak tent, 60-inch rounds with floor-length linens, padded resin chairs and a dark walnut dance floor. Community and clubhouse events in Royal Harbor run tables and chairs by the dozen, dropped and set. Backyard birthdays are the 20×20 with folding chairs and 8-foot tables.
A realistic Tavares order
For a 70-guest lakefront wedding: a 20×40 high peak tent, nine 60-inch rounds with floor-length linens, seventy padded resin chairs, a 12×12 dance floor, tent lighting and a skirted bar, with delivery around $67. Prices are on the catalog pages; the delivery line is the only one that changes with your address.
