Say "I do" at Mabelle Estates

At the end of a 1-mile wooded drive, you cross a bridge over a spring-fed creek and arrive at a 4,215 sq ft southern historic mansion surrounded by majestic oaks on 14 private acres. It feels like it's hidden in the woods, but it's only 7 minutes from the Gainesville airport and 10 minutes from downtown and UF.

The story behind The Villafan Suite. 🤍

As we approach José Luis Villafan’s second birthday since his passing, I’ve been thinking even more than usual about my friend and the way he lived his life.

José unexpectedly passed away at only 42 years old.

He was one of my best friends, a guy’s guy, the life of the party, and one of those rare people whose presence filled a room. He had an incredible appetite for life. Adventure, friends, laughter, celebrations—José was always ready.

His go-to phrase said everything about him:

“F**k it, I’m in.”

That was José.

His passing still haunts me. There are losses that divide your life into before and after, and losing him was one of those for me.

But when I think about him, there is one thing that gives me peace: he lived.

He didn’t spend his life waiting for the perfect moment. He made memories. He showed up. He laughed. He celebrated. He loved his people. He squeezed an incredible amount of life into 42 years.

When it came time to name the groom suite at Mabelle Estates, there was only one name that felt right.

The Villafan Suite.

I dedicate it to José because I know exactly what he would have done here. He would have poured a drink, turned up the music, made everyone laugh, and celebrated right alongside every groom and every couple who walked through these doors.

I can picture him here so clearly.

And in some small way, that means a piece of him gets to remain part of this place—part of the laughter, the friendships, the celebrations, the ridiculous stories, the nervous moments before walking down the aisle, and some of the happiest days of people’s lives.

There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of him.

Mabelle Estates will always carry his name.

The Villafan Suite — in loving memory of José Luis Villafan.

Happy heavenly birthday, my friend.

“F**k it, I’m in.” Forever. 🤍

A random Tuesday at Mabelle Estates. 🌿🦌

The creek flowing along the edge of the property, deer having breakfast outside our bathroom window, and 14 private acres quietly doing their thing.

Some days, the magic doesn’t need any staging. ✨

Where every story finds its setting.

Dreaming of saying your vows beneath a beautiful oak, with golden-hour light filtering through the branches? ✨🌳

Come walk the grounds and find your perfect spot.

How about one unforgettable exit? ✨🚘🤍

Driving away from a historic Southern mansion in a vintage car thru the woods, across a bridge and creek. Just Married plates, cans and strings trailing behind, bouquet out the window — the whole thing.

Cliché? Maybe. But at Mabelle Estates, we’re here for every bit of it. 🥂

Some traditions are classics for a reason.

Some moments deserve a grand entrance. 🤍

Walking hand in hand down the steps of our historic Southern mansion, surrounded by the people you love — the kind of moment that becomes one of those photographs you keep forever.

At Mabelle Estates, even the front steps are part of the story. ✨
