I cannot say enough wonderful things about The Brownwood Hotel and Spa as a wedding venue! After our original venue canceled our wedding plans just two months before our big day, we were in a bit of a panic. But from the moment we connected with Katie Hendricks and the team at The Brownwood, all of our stress melted away. Katie was an absolute dream to work with — she was professional, responsive, and genuinely cared about making our day perfect. The entire staff went above and beyond to accommodate us, and it truly felt like they were invested in our happiness. The venue itself is stunning. The blend of elegance and warmth made it the perfect setting for our winter wedding in December. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, and the atmosphere was absolutely magical. Now, let’s talk about the food — WOW. Chef Daphne is an incredible talent. Every dish was beyond delicious, and our guests haven't stopped talking about how amazing the food was! From the appetizers to the main course, everything was perfectly prepared and full of flavor. It’s clear that Chef Daphne pours her heart into every dish, and it made our reception unforgettable. As for the drinks and bar service, we were equally impressed. The bartenders were friendly, efficient, and made sure everyone had exactly what they wanted. The drinks flowed smoothly all night, and our guests loved the cocktail options. I would highly recommend The Brownwood Hotel and Spa to any couple looking for a beautiful, stress-free wedding experience. The staff, the food, the drinks, and the venue itself exceeded all of our expectations. Thank you to Katie and the entire team for making our special day absolutely perfect!

Where to start... We had our wedding at Wildwood Vineyard and Events 3/4/23. From the moment we stepped foot on the property, the first handshake with Keisha, I knew this is where we were meant to get married. That first day 6/24/22, my now husband and I, sat down with Keisha and her husband, Phil. We had the entire wedding planned in 4 hours. The food, dj, photography, colors, decorations, the bar. This is not your typical "pick a package" venue. Keisha makes your dream wedding come true around YOUR budget. She does the leg work. You tell her what you want, and she makes it happen. I felt like I was working with family the entire time, as if we've known them forever and this was the first time meeting. Keisha and I talked almost every day after that. The day of the wedding was flawless. Not one thing went wrong. They surprised me with my wedding song, sung live. They were active the entire night. Whatever we needed, they were there. I could not have asked for better. It was a dream come true. The property is beautiful, well kept, and decorated. They have games and gorgeous, caged in fire places. Not only do they do weddings, but they also host events and are open to the public. We are so blessed to have come across this amazing couple. They really do it all, and we are forever thankful for them!!

We absolutely loved our venue. It was gorgeous inside and out. We had endless compliments from our guest. The vendors were awesome to work with all of our pictures that I’ve seen have been beautiful. The communication with the owner was also great! The only thing I can complain about is in the bridal suite where the see-through domes are were beautiful for pictures, but when we went back after the wedding to clean up, there was no lighting in there. Nothing was lit up. We had to scurry to try to put some of the lamps on and use flashlights. I don’t know why the lights were not plugged in and no one was in sight to help. Due to that we are still missing a lot of the things from the suite from shoes to makeup. One of my bridesmaids is still missing an entire bag of jewelry and perfumes. We are 3 hours away and while they did find some of our things it wasn’t till we left the area. It was very chaotic trying to pack up in the dark other than that the venue is gorgeous. I’m sure it was just a problem and I didn’t have anyone to contact at the time but just a heads up to make sure your organized before you leave the suite!

Gainesville wedding photographer serving North Central and Central Florida. I create natural, true-to-life images that feel timeless and real, focused on moments, emotion, and clean editorial portraits. From intimate courthouse “I do’s” to vibrant South Asian celebrations, I photograph every wedding with calm direction, clear communication, and a smooth, stress-free experience. Expect a curated gallery that lets you relive the day with all the love and energy you felt.

We could not have asked for a better photographer than Shan from Weddings by Photohead. From the very first conversation, he was professional, kind, and genuinely invested in our wedding day. He took the time to understand our vision and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, which was huge for us. On the wedding day, Shan was calm, organized, and so easy to work with. He blended in seamlessly, captured the big emotional moments, and somehow caught all the little candid details we didn’t even realize were happening. Nothing felt forced or rushed, and his guidance during portraits made everything feel natural and fun. When we received our photos, we were absolutely blown away. The images were timeless, emotional, and beautifully edited. Every time we look at them, we feel like we’re reliving the day all over again. Friends and family have not stopped complimenting our photos. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who is talented, reliable, and truly cares about telling your story, we cannot recommend Weddings by Photohead enough. Hiring Shan was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day.

He truly makes your event unforgettable!!! If you are looking for value- he’s got it, he will work with you and your budget. Punctuality is also a huge thing for him, he will be there way before your event starts, to set up and make sure that everything is in working order. Communication is clear and he responds quickly. He will consult with you about making any edits/suggestions to the playlist. He takes the time to get to know you and what you want for your event. Working with him not only is the music, but also the uplighting. He does such a great job of keeping the appropriate amount of strobe lights, flashing lights, and all of the light work. He is attentive to what is going on out on the dance floor and listens to the request of the event planners. I cannot emphasize how polite, nice and accommodating he is. He makes you feel confident that you are going to have the best night(or day) of your life. Highly recommend DJ Ray Ray and his upbeat and cheerful personality!

Wayne’S World Entertainment 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,390
  • Serves The Villages, FL

I’ve been a DJ in Gainesville and the surrounding communities for over 20 years. I worked for the largest DJ company in the area for over 8 years, gaining valuable experience in working all sorts of weddings, parties and special events. After earning the reputation as one of the most respected DJs in the business, I decided to venture out on my own and create Wayne’s World.

We originally thought we would just create a playlist on our phone and make do for the wedding reception music, but as the date approached, we realized we wanted a professional DJ to keep the flow of the evening, make announcements, open the floor for toasts, and start the bouquet and garter toss, in addition to playing the music. We are so glad we made the decision to hire Wayne's World Entertainment as it took a huge weight off of our shoulders during the reception. The consultation was thorough and helpful, and he asked questions we hadn't even considered. Plus, he was one of the most affordable DJs we looked into, and we can't imagine what more expensive DJs could possibly provide that he didn't. He exceeded our expectations and then some!
