“We live in Massachusetts but my husband is from Sarasota so we wanted to get married in Florida. Bakers Ranch made everything so easy especially since we were from out of town. The entire planning process was relatively stress free because they include and help with so much. The fact that I had someone to email with and ask questions the entire year of planning was huge. Missy was our day of coordinator and she made sure everything ran smoothly. It really took away stress on the wedding day. They provide almost all vendors but you still get a choice (shout out to DJ Rafael with Grant Hemond, Blue Water Catering & Tampa Bay Cake Co). While we wished there was an additional dinner catering option (there were only 2) we were still very happy with Blue Water. They can also help with outside vendors and give recommendations. I highly recommend this venue and it felt like the best bang for our buck!”

“We chose Ever After Farms Lemon Lime Wedding Venue for our big day and we're so glad we did. From our first conversation, Savannah made us feel welcomed and genuinely cared about making our wedding special. She listened to what we wanted and helped us picture exactly how our day would look, answering every question we threw at her without hesitation. The venue itself is stunning with tons of space that feels warm and inviting, perfect for all our guests to celebrate with us. The value is incredible—we got so much for our money and felt like we were getting a five-star experience.
