“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.”
