Whether for a grand sunset reception or an intimate gathering, the Historic 1916 Sample-McDougald House offers a beautiful, one-of-a-kind backdrop for weddings and special events. This tropical setting is close proximity to downtown Fort Lauderdale and only 2.5 miles to the beach. The two-story, Georgian-style southern estate is beautifully appointed with a large sweeping front porch with large white columns. Set in a 5-acre park with pine, oak and magnolia trees, lush landscaping and a quaint heritage garden, a wedding at the Sample-McDougald House is exquisite.
