“Tavares Pavilion On The Lake was the perfect venue for our Annual Company Christmas Party. The communication with Amy and Lee throughout the planning process was excellent, both via email and in person meetings. Their attention to detail and friendly staff ensured all the final details came together seamlessly. The building itself was absolutely stunning, with plenty of space for all of our employees and spouses. All the employees were super helpful and accommodating, going above and beyond to make sure our special day was everything we had hoped for. We are so grateful to the team at Tavares Pavilion On The Lake for their excellence in service and for helping to make our company Christmas party truly unforgettable. We will be back for sure next year!”

“I recently had the pleasure to work with Mulberry Estates. I was in the hunt for a venue to have a surprise gender reveal/baby shower for my best friend. Right when I was about to give up I came upon Mulberry through google search. I immediately fall in love without seeing it in person. I contacted the venue and was in contact with Melanie since. Due to the fact I lived in a different city all the planning was done vie phone calls and text messages. Melanie’s impeccable service from day one made the day truly memorable. On the day of the event, I must say, I felled in loved even more. The guest loved it and most importantly my best friend and husband loved it. The venue definitely exceeded our expectations! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was welcoming and vibrant. Melanie was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure every guest felt comfortable and well taken care of. The venue itself is beautifully designed, with a perfect blend of modern and cozy elements. Thank you so much again Melanie for all your time and patience with me through the planning since they one until the event date. Thank you once again for an outstanding experience. We look forward to working with you again in the future.”
