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.

Our wedding was 2/1/25 and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Grace River Island was the perfect backdrop for our wedding celebration. From the moment we first contacted them, the team was attentive, helpful, and responsive in every way. Skye, the venue coordinator, made sure all the details were taken care of so we could truly enjoy our special day. The venue itself is beautifully maintained, with a stunning natural setting that was ideal for our ceremony. Our family stayed on the island for 4 days and found the resort had all the amenities we needed, including a gorgeous bridal suite. The sunsets over the water were truly breathtaking.

Bridge Street Bistro made our wedding the most magical day of my life. Jennifer made every wish come true. Coming from Michigan, communication was imperative. My many questions and requests via e-mail were answered and fulfilled quickly. Although she remained the utmost professional, she gave me the sense that she truly cared about my wedding day. She worked with us to get exactly what we needed. We opted to rent out the 2nd-floor restaurant. The atmosphere was intimate in a very classic decor. And that view! What a breathtaking sunset! The dinner options our guests were allowed to choose from provided for a wide variety of tastes. The sea bass with its buttery texture was one of the favorites. Jennifer also aided me in finding our entertainment for the evening. She made everything so easy. We continue to visit Bridge Street Bistro every year on our anniversary, and Jennifer along with the staff make us feel as special as we did on our wedding day.

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 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.

Melissa is the best and made the wedding planning process so easy from our initial tour of the venue to the day of the wedding. She is kind, professional, and prompt with responding to all of our questions throughout the year leading up to the wedding. She helped us to find a lot of of the vendors we ended up hiring, as well.

Tween Waters was an absolute dream. We had our wedding on the beach (5:30 PM) and reception (6:00-10:00 PM) in the Wakefield Room. Logistically, it was so nice to have everything, including lodging, on the same property. It cut down transportation time between venues like other weddings I've been to. We structured our wedding day so that the entire morning, we spent time with our loved ones at the beach, and got meals with family on site which was so relaxing and fun. We wanted our wedding to feel like a family vacation and Tween helped us achieve everything. We worked with Debra who is beyond amazing. She made sure we had everything we needed and worked above and beyond to ensure our day was incredible. All of the guests raved about the food and desserts. We opted to get a spread of Tween's desserts instead of a wedding cake because we love having options and are so glad we went that route. Tween is also extremely detail-oriented, especially if you have guests with food allergies. Our guests who stayed on the property had an absolute blast, and many of them now want to make Tween a part of their family vacations. Tween has many different package options that are customizable depending on your guest count and preferences. Getting ready in an ocean-facing cottage was out of this world amazing and relaxing. Staying on the property allowed flexibility in my outfit change and was able to rinse the sand off our feet before the reception. We were also able to get amazing sunset photographs in my second outfit. Our only regret is that we wish we had extended our stay by a few days after the wedding. We didn't want to leave!

The Poynter Institute was absolutely perfect for our wedding day! So much is included for such a fantastic price! The space is so incredibly beautiful, we did not feel the need to do much in the way of decor. Additionally, its location in downtown St Pete and proximity to hotels, restaurants, bars, and more, was absolutely perfect for our guests, since the majority were from out of town. Everyone was so friendly, helpful, and incredibly responsive! It was great to support a local nonprofit organization that also does a lot for our local community.

Ryan & I knew we wanted a beach wedding, but where? My husband had been to St. Pete Beach one other time for a work event, so that’s how we settled with the beach. Picking the venue seemed like a daunting task all the way from Nebraska, but once we found Tradewinds and met Hannah, their wedding coordinator, we knew instantly. We flew down one time before our wedding, so I really trusted Hannah and our planner and they knocked it out of the park. The hotel room was perfect size for my wedding party and I to get ready and with the natural light from the beautiful room views our makeup artist was in heaven! The guys spent the day enjoying an amazing lunch at the Flying Bridge, playing mini-putt and hanging out at the lobby bar while they waited. The photo backdrops you can find around the property made for magical wedding photos. Our ceremony was on the beach and the set up was perfect! The reception was in the courtyard and it was the best spot. We go visit the courtyard each time we come back to visit! The food was 10/10! I wish they had a restaurant on their property that served the same food that was served that night because we would eat there constantly! Their chef is truly so skilled! You don’t hear many people talk about wedding food, but 2 1/2 years later and our guests still rave about it; specifically the corn chowder! Yum! I really can’t thank Hannah, Tradewinds, and our planner enough. I didn’t feel an ounce of stress planning our wedding because of them. Tradewinds has really become our home away from home and it is all because of the amazing work they did for the biggest day of our life!
