Tavares Pavilion On The Lake was an absolute dream venue for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication was on point and consistent, which put our minds at ease during the planning process. When Hurricane Milton hit right before our big day, they stayed in close contact with us the entire time, doing everything in their power to ensure our wedding date remained intact. The staff went above and beyond to make our special day truly unforgettable - their kindness and attention to detail was simply breathtaking. The venue itself is stunning, and worth every penny. We could not have asked for a more perfect setting to celebrate our love. We are so grateful to the entire Tavares Pavilion team for making our wedding dreams a reality.

The most important things to begin with is that Cypress Creek Farmhouse will provide you everything that you are look for as far as phenomenal location, and that the owners Tay and Craig and their staff are Amazing, Kind, Authentic, professionals, who have a true passion for the amazing job they do. All of these qualities are matched by their true interest in making sure that you have the event and location and day of your dreams. Cypress Creek Farmhouse was our first pick out of many locations from the very beginning simply based on the pictures on the website due to the gorgeous natural beauty of the location and the classy features of the buildings, which in every way meets and exceed the needs for each aspect of our wedding. The location provides options for how and where you would want your events to take place. After a conversation with Tay who from the very start showed true enthusiasm, kindness and in-depth knowledge of every aspect of wedding planning, we met to view Cypress Creek Farmhouse . This is when we were able to see and feel that this was the location for our special day as soon as we saw the stunningly beautiful premises. During the whirlwind 3 month process, Tay and her staff took time on a frequent basis to provide us with recommendations, reminders, and made accommodations to make the wedding planning and wedding day a seamless and perfect one. Tay, Craig and Joyce and their team were able to provide multiple suggestions for wedding planning details that we may not have thought of and that met our budget. They all provided constant encouragement and a calm understanding of what our vision was. My wife Tessa and I can honestly say that the owners and location Cypress Creek Farmhouse exceeded all of our wedding dreams. We recommend you make your memories as beautiful and sweet as ours have your events at Cypress Creek Farmhouse. Thank you Tay, Craig and Joyce and the rest of the amazing staff at this Gorgeous location.

We got married on April 26, 2025, and could not have chosen a better venue! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how gorgeous the property was! It truly feels like you're not in Florida. The setting created such a magical backdrop for both our ceremony and reception. My mom suggested this venue. It was one of the last venues we toured. I was feeling discouraged because many other venues make you use their vendors, and the time is limited for the wedding day. Having access to the venue for the entire day made our wedding so much smoother and less stressful. We were able to take our time, enjoy every moment, and not feel rushed. The reception space was beautiful and spacious. There were plenty of bathrooms (a small but important detail!), and everything was clean and well-maintained. One of the biggest perks was being able to use our own vendors, which gave us so much freedom to personalize our day exactly how we envisioned it. There are Airbnbs nearby for guests who want a more private stay, as well as hotels in Clermont and Howey-in-the-Hills, so it was very convenient for everyone. We truly loved this wedding venue and highly recommend it to any couple looking for a beautiful, flexible, and stress-free place to get married!

As proprietors of Maria's Arrangements, a budding flower shop dedicated to crafting beauty and elegance through floral design, we had the immense pleasure of attending the grand opening of Pegasus Manor, a truly remarkable wedding venue that we wholeheartedly recommend to all the beautiful couples planning their engagement celebrations. From the moment we stepped foot into Pegasus Manor, we were enveloped in an atmosphere of magic and enchantment. The grand opening was an experience beyond compare, with an impressive array of vendors showcasing their talents and services. What truly set this event apart, however, was the warmth and hospitality extended by Ms. Beth, the consummate hostess of Pegasus Manor. Ms. Beth's genuine warmth and attentiveness made us feel not only welcomed but truly valued as guests. Throughout the event, she ensured that everyone in attendance was enjoying themselves and had everything they needed to make the most of the festivities. Her dedication to creating a memorable experience for all was truly commendable. One highlight of the grand opening was the interactive giveaway for future couples, which added an extra layer of excitement and joy to the event. It was heartwarming to see the happiness on the faces of the participants, further emphasizing the sense of community fostered by Pegasus Manor. As newcomers to the floral design scene, we were particularly grateful for Ms. Beth's support and guidance. She took the time to offer valuable insights and advice based on her extensive experience, helping us navigate the early stages of our business with confidence and grace. In conclusion, Pegasus Manor is not just a venue; it's a place where dreams are brought to life. With its breathtaking beauty, exceptional hospitality, and unwavering support for small businesses like ours, it's the perfect choice for couples seeking a truly magical setting for their special day.

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.
