It’s Official! Lomasi Aguilar and Reid Guhr are now Mr. & Mrs. Guhr! On Saturday, June 4th, they became the first couple to exchange vows in the new Chapel at Clermont’s Historic Village. The ceremony, performed by Pastor Brian Broadway of the Living Message Church, was attended by family members and close friends. The Chapel’s intimate size and beautiful stained-glass window provided the perfect setting for their special moment.
The Chapel is the newest addition to the Historic Village and was designed to look like the early churches in Clermont. Its white walls, antique gas lamps, authentic wood church pews, and that beautiful window allow the bride and groom to stand front and center yet be close to their loved ones in a simple, rustic environment. If you think this would be the perfect place for your wedding or vow renewal, contact the Village Manager, Roxanne Brown, at 352-242-7734 to set up an appointment to view the Chapel.
You can also rent the grounds, the pavilion, or the Depot or any combination of them for your reception or any other event you might want to host like a birthday party or baby shower. Roxanne can answer any questions you may have about renting at the Village.
