Ever After Farms Citrus was the perfect venue for our wedding day. The communication from the staff was amazing - attentive, descriptive, and kept me feeling calm and prepared, especially when we were figuring out backup plans for potential rain. The modern barn has a beautiful spacious layout with indoor and outdoor areas that created the perfect backdrop. I loved working with the decorator who helped with all the little details - she had long black hair and such a sweet demeanor. Another standout was Desiree who helped ensure everything ran smoothly. At one point when I forgot my bouquet, someone raced to grab it so I didn't walk down the aisle empty handed! It's clear this team truly cares. Between the gorgeous venue and thoughtful staff, Ever After Farms Citrus really contributed to making our wedding day special.

Book this venue. My wife and I looked at a handful of places in the greater Orlando area, and nothing matched our vibe until we were fortunate enough to witness this stunning property. It’s unlike anything else in the area. The property offers several ceremony options, both outdoor and indoor, a beautiful outdoor & indoor option for reception, and an amazing array of bonus options - including on site AirBnBs for family or wedding party. We got compliments all evening on how beautiful the space was. Erik, the owner was great, knowledgable, and friendly. We didn’t see much as for photos or reviews online, but once we walked the space we knew it instantly. 10/10 would recommend.
