Tavares Pavilion On The Lake was the perfect venue for our Annual Company Christmas Party. The communication with Amy and Lee throughout the planning process was excellent, both via email and in person meetings. Their attention to detail and friendly staff ensured all the final details came together seamlessly.

All the employees were super helpful and accommodating, going above and beyond to make sure our special day was everything we had hoped for.

The Carriage House at Vedder Farms was my dream come true. We could not have asked for a better venue for our wedding. The most gorgeous views, the sweetest team and the most incredible experience. The venue itself is gorgeous, the Rose Cottage for the gals and the Pine Cabin for the guys are both amazing. You can feel the love that was put into the build of these places as soon as you cross the threshold. The team of people that I worked with are the reason I would choose this venue 100 times over. Jessica, Terri, Savannah - truly feel like family at this point. They answered every phone call, responded to every email, every text. They soothed all of the anxieties I came up with to worry about, lol. From deciding on colors, signage, seat layout, food/drink vendors, EVERYTHING. We planned our wedding from Georgia with my mother in law visiting in person for us. We were never made to feel less than even though we couldn’t do a ton of visits and had to do the majority of things remotely. They made this process so easy to do. From vendor suggestions to all of the wedding guidance under the sun. I truly wish we could get remarried every single day just to be at The Carriage House again. I cannot put into words the way this team shows up for you as a couple. If you’re on the fence about your decision, you will not regret choosing The Carriage House at Vedder Farms.

We recently got married at Cypress Creek Farmhouse, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. When we visited for the first time, we knew it was the perfect location for our special day. Cypress Creek Farmhouse offers so many beautiful, greenery-filled backdrops for pictures. The outdoor ceremony area is stunning, has a lake behind it, and has a pergola you can decorate with flowers. The indoor reception area is wonderful as well, and there was plenty of space for our needs. The getting ready suites were amazing and offered more than enough space for everyone to get ready comfortably. Additionally, we greatly appreciated that we were able to utilize things like charger plates, linens, and decor that Cypress had on hand instead of having to buy them ourselves. On the day of the event, the whole Cypress Creek Farmhouse team ensured that everything ran smoothly, allowing us to relax and enjoy the day with our loved ones. What makes this place so special are the owners, who also live on the property. From the moment we first met, Ty and Craig always made us feel welcome. Throughout the planning process, Ty was wonderful. She is attentive, professional, and accommodating. From our initial inquiry to the day of the wedding, she was always available to answer questions and offer guidance. Overall, our experience at Cypress Creek Farmhouse was nothing short of exceptional. From the beautiful surroundings to the wonderful owners (Ty and Craig), every aspect of our wedding exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Cypress Creek Farmhouse to anyone in search of the perfect wedding venue! Thank you Ty, Craig, and the rest of the Cypress Creek Farmhouse team, for being a part of our special day! :)

I met Beth and Steve when they first opened their wedding venue, and I immediately could see their passion and committment to give me the best wedding of my life. My one dream that very rare if any venues offer was to extend my hours and have the after party be in the same location as the reception. Beth and Steve made this dream come true and the night was absolutely epic. Not to mention unforgetable, the day of my weather Orlando was having 35 mph winds and it was freezing. Beth and Steve spent days putting up walls and tents to accomodate our party. I truly trusted in them and they didn't let me down. We had the best night, 10 hours of memory making, dancing, and celebrating love. Thank you so much!

I recently had the pleasure to work with Mulberry Estates. I was in the hunt for a venue to have a surprise gender reveal/baby shower for my best friend. Right when I was about to give up I came upon Mulberry through google search. I immediately fall in love without seeing it in person. I contacted the venue and was in contact with Melanie since. Due to the fact I lived in a different city all the planning was done vie phone calls and text messages. Melanie’s impeccable service from day one made the day truly memorable. On the day of the event, I must say, I felled in loved even more. The guest loved it and most importantly my best friend and husband loved it. The venue definitely exceeded our expectations! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was welcoming and vibrant. Melanie was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure every guest felt comfortable and well taken care of. The venue itself is beautifully designed, with a perfect blend of modern and cozy elements. Thank you so much again Melanie for all your time and patience with me through the planning since they one until the event date. Thank you once again for an outstanding experience. We look forward to working with you again in the future.
