Bakers Ranch is a team of informed wedding professionals who are experts in the unique art of weddings. Our wedding day felt like pure magic, and it is truly thanks to the incredible team at this wedding venue. Our guests were in awe of the space, and we received so many compliments regarding the décor, drinks, food, photographer and overall experience. My husband and I put a lot of time and research into finding the right wedding venue for us, and we walked away from our wedding day with a feeling of pride for our selection, and gratitude for the support we received. We looked at venues across three states. It was a little overwhelming and emotional, knowing that the venue would dictate so much of our time as an engaged couple and ultimately, our one wedding day. Bakers Ranch immediately stood out to us, it was an all-inclusive wedding venue that would eliminate some stress of planning. It had a gorgeous green backdrop of ancient oaks and rich foliage. It had Jeremy, a wedding planner that was calm, reassuring, honest and unlike any wedding professional we had met in our search. We booked the first available Saturday the following year almost immediately. I was also an extremely detail-oriented bride, straight down to the plates, the handmade table cards, and a personal note for each attendee. But it was all perfect. The decor, the flowers, the cocktails, the food, the week before, the day before, the day of, were all a dream. Everything that I communicated was heard. The vision that I had planned for was achieved. It was even better than what we could have imagined. We are extremely grateful to Baker’s Ranch for their incredible work.

My hubby and I got engaged June of 2022 and had our dream venue booked not too long after. Our wedding day was 11/11/23. We had looked at a couple other venues in the area but wanted to use some place that our friends hadn’t used yet. I stumbled upon The Worthington while we were out to eat at AMOB with family, I booked a tour the next day. Once my husband and I were shown around the property, we immediately both knew we had found our dream venue. The entire team is super helpful. Our ceremony took place outside in front of the giant oak tree as a beautiful focal point AND the pond in the background. We were lucky enough to be the first couple to use the outdoor wall to separate our guests from seeing me before I walked down the aisle! Catlyn exceeded what we were thinking it was going to look like! Talk about being blown away. Our cocktail and reception area also looked amazing. Seeing every detail we had planned come to life because of these ladies and their hard work made us feel so taken care of. Whether you’re dealing with Angella, Catlyn or Lisa you’ll be in the absolute BEST hands! They're all so communicative, quick to reply and triple check everything is just as you want it. I would come back over and over again for the venue itself and the ladies in charge. You all made our night so perfect. Our guests all kept saying it was the best wedding they had been to.

We had the perfect dinner and reception at Bridge Street Bistro following our beach wedding on Anna Maria Island. The food was outstanding, and we heard from many guests that it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. We also came down and did a food tasting about a year in advance so that we knew what choices would be best for us. We had a few specific requests on the menu based on our tasting experience and that was no problem for the chef. We even requested the same server for our reception, and they made that happen for us. We worked with Jennifer during all stages of the planning, and she was wonderful – very quick to reply and communicate with, and she provided recommendations for so many things to make our day perfect. She even sent me recommendations for bands with descriptions and sent links to their websites/Facebook pages. This was so helpful! Mojo Filter was a perfect wedding band for our style too! Planning a destination wedding from a different state has it’s challenges, but Jennifer was very accommodating and we appreciated all of the recommendations. We had a fairly large group for our wedding – 65 people so we rented the 3rd floor. This space was perfect for our group. I worked with Jennifer to create the floor plan and seating chart, she had sent multiple options so we could make sure we had the right set up. The band played softly during our arrival and dinner; they were set back in an alcove which worked perfectly – we moved a few tables for the dance floor following dinner. The food and drinks were outstanding, as was the service and decorations. This was one of the most affordable dinner/reception options that we got quotes for, and it was an exceptional choice. I wish that I had more pictures to share!

We were so lucky with weather and the sunset, the night was absolutely amazing! Our wedding date was November 12. We had the ceremony on the beach and then the reception was under the pavilion. We decorated mainly with string lights and the vibe was everything I wanted for an island beach wedding. Molly helped us plan and Jess was our day of coordinator, both did an excellent job. Nothing major went wrong and Jess helped keep everything on track. The only real downside was the guests have to use the bathrooms that are inside the restaurant.
