The Bar Exchange, LLC 

5.0

Alachua, FL
  • Bar services & beverages
  • Starts at $750

Born and raised in the North Central Florida area, I’ve been in the event bartending business going on five years. My go-to drink is a Moscow Mule, but I do love making a mean Margarita or Cold Brew Martini! When I’m not slinging drinks, you can catch me with my husband and three dogs (see picture) hanging out at the house, or being around some body of water when the weather is right!

The Bar Exchange, LLC was an excellent choice for our wedding bar services and beverages. Their communication style was quick, understanding, and detailed throughout the planning process. The quality of their work and value was extremely reliable, they have a strong sense of integrity, and they were highly professional. On the day of our wedding, they showed up on time and helped open the door for my grand entrance, which was a nice personal touch. Additionally, our bartender Madison was amazing - she provided excellent customer service to all our guests, had drinks ready on hand, and was a key detail that contributed to the success of our special day. I would highly recommend The Bar Exchange, LLC for any couple's wedding bar needs. Madison couldn’t have made my day better as she was one out of all my vendors who did not show up late and the rest did but she saved the day during cocktail hour!

Bobby is THE person to have on your wedding team. He works incredibly hard to make sure every detail is perfect. The decor warehouse is everything you could ever want. The food is delicious.

We got married here on one of the glass bottom boats (Chief Potackee, the ADA one) and it was incredible. I did all my communication with them (Mackenzie) thru email as this was a destination "elopement" style minimony for us. Communication was incredible, all my questions were answered promptly, the boat was lovely and they were super accommodating the entire day. Captain Bill was also super amazing and accommodating the day of the rehearsal. The boat ceremony was very untraditional which was super us and we loved- however I will note that if you're looking for the traditional aisle walk, with ceremony starting immediately afterwards, the boat may not be what you're looking for. There technically is a "bridal room" for getting ready, but it's only included if you also book the ballroom reception space. I got a hotel room at the Holiday Inn across the street and got ready there- which was totally fine. Bride, groom & all guests/vendors are requested to get there 30 mins early, to get everyone on the boat. Then bride (and father/whoever) walks to the boat. No music (wasn't a problem for us, probably could have been done if you're creative about it tho). There is a bit (10 - 15min) of a boat ride to the ceremony "staging" area, in which you cannot stand because the boat is moving. Once you get to the staging area, you can stand and the ceremony starts. When the ceremony is over, you sit again and have whatever time left of the hour to do a mini boat tour. I would 1000% recommend this experience to anyone looking for a nontraditional ceremony experience.

The venue is absolutely gorgeous and dreamlike!! They help you set up and clean up (clean up is extra). They have so many different locations within the venue to have the ceremony, and nice that they have one option inside just in case of rain. Also have a golf cart to help shuttle people from parking or the bridal party from the dressing domes. I had to call about a few questions and someone picked up immediately.

I first realized that I loved photography back in 2011 when a couple friends and I went to Jacksonville beach. That is where I took my first favorite photo on the beach. My friend made a joke saying she found her personal photographer because the photo was so good. I was always the friend that love taking the photos, getting all the crazy angles laying on the ground, standing on top of things doing everything to get that perfect shot.

Had a blast shooting for Tray! Always an easy recommendation !

I had checked out many venues prior to seeing True Heart Ranch. One look and meeting was all it took…absolutely stunning location from an incredible all wood barn, beautiful pastures with horses, to a ceremony under a gorgeous twin oak tree with a falling sunset as a backdrop. Cindy and family made everything easy. They were honest, exceedingly helpful, and so much fun! There were no hidden fees and information was upfront and well outlined and affordable. I’ve been to many weddings and although this was mine I must say it was perfect and all our guests raved about it and how beautiful and fun it was. We went for an elegant look keeping the charm of the rustic feel and it was beautiful! I highly recommend True Heart Ranch! My daughter is already planning to have her wedding here when it’s time. A true gem and I’m so thankful we chose to celebrate here.

In the past decade and a hald I have been blessed to travel near and far to work with amazing couples and tell their love stories through my captured images.

I can't recommend Sweet Serendipity enough. As a wedding planner, when I hear my couple is working with Jaime, I automatically know they are in great hands.

Working with Bailey and The Top Secret Events team to have our wedding at The Wooly was amazing and so easy! If we were to do it all over again we would without a doubt choose this team and this venue for our wedding! Bailey was responsive and flexible throughout the process which is such a luxury when wedding planning. The Wooly is such a unique venue and Bailey was more than willing to help us make it our own for the special day. The set up that they have is perfect for small, medium or larger events. The catering and bar staff were INCREDIBLE - so kind and helpful! From the venue, to the catering, and even the lighting, the team ensures that your priorities are their priorities. I HIGHLY recommend having your wedding at The Wooly and working with The Top Secret Events for all things wedding related!!

Hi, I'm Britt! I’m based in Ocala, FL but also love to travel. I have been a professional photographer since 2013 & I love telling stories with my camera. I photographed my first wedding in 2014 and I have been in love with weddings ever since. I pour my heart & soul into my work & I am incredibly thankful to do what I do! Getting to capture other people's love, joy, & unique style on camera as an career has been a dream come true. I am so thankful for the opportunities & people I've been able to meet! I am a wife, girl mom of two, homeschool mama, book nerd, thriftaholic, love paddleboarding & generally am happiest outside.

From the moment we connected with Eighteenth Hour Photography, we knew we had found the perfect photographers for our wedding day. Britt was immediately warm and inviting - they felt like old friends we had known for years. Britt and her assistant were sweet, patient, and had a great sense of humor that put us at ease throughout the entire process. Her quality of work was simply phenomenal - the photos she captured were elegant and ethereal, perfectly encapsulating the magic of our special day. They never felt intrusive, always seemed to be in the right place at the right time, and were just genuinely fun to have around. We're thrilled with the beautiful memories she was able to preserve for us, and we cannot recommend Eighteenth Hour Photography highly enough to any couple planning their wedding.

Keith Carson Weddings

  • Officiant
  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $169
  • Serves Alachua, FL

Whether you’re looking to elope, for a small intimate sunset beach wedding on the Atlantic Ocean or Gulf of Mexico, a commitment ceremony, a ceremony at a large fancy venue, or anything in between, I can help create what you most desire for your day — a perfect, memorable celebration that you, your family, your wedding party, and your guests will truly enjoy. Nobody really wants to attend a wedding they’ve been to time and time again. They want to experience your story and your style in every aspect of your ceremony. That’s why I believe in creating a ceremony from a blank canvas and turn it into an extraordinary ceremony.

Keith Carson Weddings provided exceptional communication throughout the wedding planning process. They were quick to respond to all our questions and provided thorough guidance every step of the way. Their officiating services were meaningful, beautiful, and truly captured the essence of our relationship. We are so grateful to have had Keith Carson Weddings as our wedding officiants and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a personalized, thoughtful ceremony.
