“Legacy at Oak Meadows couldn’t have been a more perfect place to have our wedding! Tera and Chad are such wonderful people and made sure our special day was everything we could have dreamed of. They were incredibly attentive, helpful, and caring, and they did everything they could to make sure every detail was in place. Their venue was absolutely beautiful, and I was so excited to have the donkeys and longhorns be a part of our wedding day! From the second we toured their venue, Tera and Chad treated us like friends rather than just customers. That truly stuck with my family and me and made us want to book with them instantly. I would also like to mention that our wedding coordinator, Janelle McClain, was so sweet and made sure I felt like a million bucks on my special day. She took so much stress off my shoulders and allowed me to enjoy every second of my wedding day. She was such a wonderful coordinator and made sure the day ran as smoothly as possible! I’m so grateful to her! Legacy at Oak Meadows is the most perfect place to have your wedding. The entire day will feel so special, and you can know for a fact that you will be taken care of. We are so grateful to Tera, Chad, and Janelle for helping make our wedding day so beautiful and unforgettable!”

“Ever After Farms Vineyard was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. From the very beginning, their communication was easy, detail-oriented, and they were on top of everything. The beautiful scenery, with the amazing barn elements, created an incredible backdrop for our special day. The bridal and groomsmen suits also looked awesome against this rustic yet elegant setting. The wedding planners were incredibly helpful, ensuring that every detail, big or small, was taken care of in a very friendly and welcoming environment.

“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.”
