Dragonfly Farms hosts weddings, corporate events and private parties for up to 140 guests, with a ceremony pavilion, a terrace for cocktails and a climate-controlled barn for the reception. The venue sits on a 12-acre property in Palm Bay, on Florida's Space Coast, and books only one event per day.
Seminars and company events
Beyond weddings, the venue takes corporate events, fundraisers and milestone parties such as retirements, anniversaries and birthdays. For a company, the format suits a team celebration, an awards dinner or a client evening better than a working seminar: the site lists no meeting rooms or presentation equipment. Because there is only one event a day, a group has the grounds to itself. Weekday events end by 8:00 PM and include 10 hours of access, which leaves time for setup, a program and dinner.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are the main business, and the venue presents itself as the only all-inclusive wedding venue in Palm Bay. Packages bundle the venue, coordination, catering, florals, a DJ, bar service, hair and makeup, and dessert. Couples who prefer to choose their own team can rent the venue alone and bring licensed caterers. A typical day moves from a ceremony under the white-fenced pavilion to cocktails on the paver terrace, then dinner and dancing in the barn. Micro-weddings and elopements are offered for groups under 50.
Two get-ready suites with seating and mini-fridges are included with every rental. Saturday rentals include 12 hours on site, and Friday and Saturday events may run until 10:00 PM.
Rooms and capacities
The barn holds receptions of up to 140 guests and is fully air-conditioned. The covered pavilion serves ceremonies and the terrace serves the cocktail hour, so guests move between three settings without leaving the grounds. Rentals include ceremony benches, cocktail and dining tables with white linens, chairs, a card and gift area, house decorations and signs, whiskey barrels, indoor and outdoor lighting, and a bar area. An on-site facilities team is present during the event.
Accommodation
There are no bedrooms on site. The team can share a list of nearby hotels for guests traveling in.
Catering
Catering is included in the all-inclusive packages. For venue-only rentals, licensed outside caterers are welcome with the right insurance, and they work from a dedicated preparation area with a buffet zone and a cake and dessert station. Alcohol must be served from the bar by the venue's approved bar service or by the caterer. Cash bars are not allowed, and a host liquor liability rider is required.
History and setting
The property takes its name from the dragonflies, red, blue and magenta among them, that are often seen over the grounds. The setting is rural, with landscaped lawns, string lights and parking close to the buildings. The facilities are ADA-compliant and the grounds are pet-friendly, which matters for couples who want a dog in the ceremony.
Getting there
The venue is at 750 Osmosis Drive SW in Palm Bay. It is about 15 minutes from Melbourne, 20 from Viera, 30 from Cocoa Beach and 35 from Titusville. Melbourne Orlando International Airport is the closest airport, and parking is on site, with optional parking attendants.
