Please be aware that the Town of Windermere is currently in the process of proposing enhancements and repairs to the Town Hall. As such, the availability of the Town Hall may be subject to change.
Any event dates or rentals during this time will be provided with 60 days’ notice of any changes.
Thank you for inquiring about the Windermere Town Hall as your event venue. Complete the rental form below to get started. Town Staff are unable to assist with rental requests if they are not in receipt of this form.
The Town Hall is available for rental on a first-come, first-served basis with Town-sponsored events taking precedence. To reserve your date, a deposit of $250 (money order or check made payable to The Town of Windermere; we do not accept cash) and a completed Rental Agreement are required. All deposits are processed as/are a separate charge from the rental fee. A reimbursement check will be mailed to you after Public Works has completed your exit report.
The Windermere Town Hall is on the National Historic Registry. Please carefully review the rules and regulations contained within the Rental Agreement ensure that you do not forfeit part or all of your deposit.

*Resident is defined as dwelling within the incorporated limits of Windermere. As Windermere is approximately 2.2 square miles, not every “Windermere” address is actually incorporated; ex: Summerport, Casabella, Belmere, Keenes’s Pointe, and many others are not within Windermere, and therefore would pay the non-resident rates. Please contact our front desk at 407-876-2563 to determine whether your address falls within the incorporated boundaries of Windermere, or visit the Orange County Property Appraiser’s Website; incorporated addresses will show municipality as “Windermere,” while un-incorporated addresses will show “un-incorporated.”
**Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are billed as full-days regardless of how long a renter will utilize Town Hall. We do not book more than one rental per weekend day. For a full day rental, access to Town Hall begins at 7:00am the day of the event. Early entry to set up is not permitted. All trash, personal decorations, food, rental furniture, etc. must be removed by 1:00am the following morning.
