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.

BOTTOM LINE – EVERY COUPLE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA SHOULD GET MARRIED HERE!! Hurricane Milton struck THREE DAYS before our wedding and what could’ve been the most stressful situation ever was a total breeze thanks to the clear communication and hard work of the Venue 1902 team (including the owner, Lisa, who PERSONALLY called me to give me updates on our venue IN THE MIDDLE OF A HURRICANE – talk about above and beyond!!) Weeks later, we and our guests are still absolutely gushing over Venue 1902. Not only was it the perfect venue for our wedding, but the staff and the amenities provided are truly unmatched. Venue 1902 has it ALL, from phenomenal staff to luxurious facilities to a top-notch preferred vendor list that made wedding planning a breeze. We could not have asked for better! They truly make you feel like a VIP throughout the entire planning process and especially on the day of the wedding. Special shout outs to Adriana (we love you!!), Madison, Leah, Aleshia, and Lisa – you guys are absolute rockstars and we wish we could get married again and again to be with your incredible team! We hosted our ceremony outside in the courtyard, cocktail hour was split between the downstairs bar area and a gorgeous outdoor bar and lounge, then the reception was upstairs in the ballroom. Guests were in awe of the entire space (we also lucked out with perfect weather after SUCH a horrific storm) and how every detail was perfectly executed. (To quote my now-mother-in-law, “Every wedding has at least one major hiccup, but yours didn’t at ALL. It was the perfect day!”) We could not recommend Venue 1902 enough and we want to express our deepest gratitude to the entire team for making our wedding the most beautiful and magical day of our lives. Thank you, Venue 1902!!
