Welcome to Haus 820—a shining example of a modern wedding venue in Florida, where community, art, and celebration meet. In the lobby, guests are greeted by the breathtaking mural created by Lakeland-based artist Gillian Fazio (learn more on her site). Gillian’s signature “new-age flora & fauna” style emerges here with vibrant florals, graceful butterflies, and richly saturated colors, inviting visitors to pause and connect with nature in an intimate, indoor setting (gfazioart.com).
Inspiration & Artistic Journey
Gillian draws her inspiration from natural patterns and the symbiotic balance between flora and fauna—she describes them as “divinely designed patterns that serve a function and purpose, combined with purely aesthetic patterns” (gfazioart.com). Her process typically starts with photographic references, which she reinterprets through whimsical, color-rich compositions. For Fazio, murals are about accessible art—brightening public spaces and making gallery-caliber work available to everyone (gfazioart.com).
A Perfect Picture & Photo Op
Just steps from the lobby mural lies another favorite photo backdrop: the colorful abstract wall by Jujmo, ideal for chic bridal party portraits or fun guest selfies. Between these two artful backdrops, Haus 820 offers dynamic photo opportunities that capture both intimacy and flair—personal moments and grand announcements alike.
Why Haus 820 Stands Out
At Haus 820, your wedding is woven into the fabric of Lakeland’s vibrant art scene. Surrounded by local murals, you’re celebrating not just your union but the creative spirit that fuels our community. Guests experience art, joy, and connection—all in one beautifully designed space.
Experience the charm of a modern wedding venue in Florida that values creativity, community, and unforgettable memories. Book your date and bring your story to life at Haus 820.
