Saxon Manor was the perfect venue for our wedding. Their communication throughout the planning process was very easy; they were always quick to respond to emails and phone calls with a friendly and helpful attitude. The venue itself is so pretty, with beautiful gardens and architecture that made a gorgeous backdrop for our photos. It was definitely worth the money to host our reception there. The staff at Saxon Manor went above and beyond for us on our special day - they were attentive to every detail, from the setup and decor to making sure my husband and I were well taken care of.

I’ve been working with Golden Ocala as a Wedding DJ for over 15 years and I have to say the latest remodel is AMAZING!!! You have to see it in person to truly appreciate it’s beauty. I’ve attached a picture that I took(I’m a DJ not a photographer) of a recent Wedding. The staff is easy to work with and that translates into a happy client because we work as a team and the client is able to enjoy their event and not worry about all the details. I HIGHLY recommend you just visit Golden Ocala, and you will be so impressed that you won’t want to leave.

Sweetwater Branch Inn (SWB) went above and BEYOND to make my wedding weekend everything I had dreamed of—and more. If I could give SWB a million out of five stars, I absolutely would! My wedding was on March 16, 2025, and originally planned as an outdoor event. The team at SWB was incredibly flexible, allowing me to get creative with the venue and hold the ceremony and dinner in a different location than they usually do which was impressive in itself! Just days before the wedding, a storm was predicted to hit. At the last minute, we ordered a tent for the gardens (something that had never been done before), completely reworked the layout we had spent over a year planning, and somehow, everything turned out perfectly! Adrienne, the event coordinator, and Angel, the food and beverage coordinator, were nothing short of incredible. Adrienne went above and beyond, dedicating extra time and effort to ensure my vision came to life, even with the last-minute changes. Every single member of the staff was truly wonderful. My close family stayed at the Inn and didn’t want to leave! Guests traveled from Canada, New York City, and even Sydney, Australia—and every single one of them raved about their stay. From the friendly and helpful staff to the elegant decor and the delicious food (both at breakfast and the wedding!), they were beyond impressed. I cannot say enough great things about Sweetwater Branch Inn and the amazing event venue they provide. They do everything with heart, which is so rare these days—and that, above all, meant the world to me and my guests.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about The Brownwood Hotel and Spa as a wedding venue! After our original venue canceled our wedding plans just two months before our big day, we were in a bit of a panic. But from the moment we connected with Katie Hendricks and the team at The Brownwood, all of our stress melted away. Katie was an absolute dream to work with — she was professional, responsive, and genuinely cared about making our day perfect. The entire staff went above and beyond to accommodate us, and it truly felt like they were invested in our happiness. The venue itself is stunning. The blend of elegance and warmth made it the perfect setting for our winter wedding in December. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, and the atmosphere was absolutely magical. Now, let’s talk about the food — WOW. Chef Daphne is an incredible talent. Every dish was beyond delicious, and our guests haven't stopped talking about how amazing the food was! From the appetizers to the main course, everything was perfectly prepared and full of flavor. It’s clear that Chef Daphne pours her heart into every dish, and it made our reception unforgettable. As for the drinks and bar service, we were equally impressed. The bartenders were friendly, efficient, and made sure everyone had exactly what they wanted. The drinks flowed smoothly all night, and our guests loved the cocktail options. I would highly recommend The Brownwood Hotel and Spa to any couple looking for a beautiful, stress-free wedding experience. The staff, the food, the drinks, and the venue itself exceeded all of our expectations. Thank you to Katie and the entire team for making our special day absolutely perfect!

Tavares Pavilion On The Lake was an absolute dream venue for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication was on point and consistent, which put our minds at ease during the planning process. When Hurricane Milton hit right before our big day, they stayed in close contact with us the entire time, doing everything in their power to ensure our wedding date remained intact. The staff went above and beyond to make our special day truly unforgettable - their kindness and attention to detail was simply breathtaking. The venue itself is stunning, and worth every penny.
