My fiancé and I toured over 30 venues in 5 different states looking for that one venue where we would get butterflies and could imagine ourselves getting married there. The minute I got out of my car for our tour. I knew this was the place and my now husband had the same feeling. I honestly wished we would have found it sooner so we didn’t waste so much time touring all of those other places. Sterling Event Venue is a little slice of perfection just 30 minutes outside of hectic and chaotic Orlando and all of the theme park chaos! When you are out at Sterling, it doesn’t feel like Florida. The property is breathtakingly gorgeous. The outside ceremony space was not only beautiful but it made the perfect backdrop for photos and the indoor reception space is also beautiful and can be with or without decor! On top of it being the most beautiful place to get married, the staff deserves to be noted in this review because despite how perfect a venue looks, the staff can make or break the whole experience and I cannot rave enough about the team at Sterling. I had so many questions being that I never planned a wedding before in the year leading up to my wedding and they answered every phone call and email in a kind and very timely manner. It took a lot of the stress off of the planning! Two things to note that did not bother us but is maybe worth mentioning: 1. Depending on time of year (we got married in May) the outdoor ceremony seating is mostly in the direct sunlight for guests so it can be very hot for your guests. We provided hand fans so that helped. The bridal party is covered by the Ceremony covering so you don’t have to worry about that. 2. The only bathrooms for guests are inside the reception hall so if you wanted the reception space to be a surprise or wanted to do a room reveal it isn’t the easiest option. Neither of these should be deal breakers for you but again just thought it would be worth noting. This place definitely speaks for itself but if you wanted to read an honest review in the case you were unsure, CHOOSE STERLING. You won’t regret it.

Awarded Best of Zola
As the mother of the groom, I can say that everything was communicated perfectly by Steve and Jessica at La Hacienda on Snow Hill. They were an absolute delight to work with. The venue itself was elegant, picturesque, and had an old-world, unique luxury feel. The clear covering over the pool for dancing was a huge hit, and the terrace overlooking the rolling countryside felt like we were in the hills of Tuscany - just magical! I would 100% recommend La Hacienda to anyone looking for a special, elegant and unique wedding experience, as Jessica will make sure every detail is taken care of.

We specialize in micro-weddings and elopements, typically hosting celebrations of up to 50 guests, allowing you to stay deeply connected to the people who matter most while enjoying a relaxed, unhurried experience. What makes Chateau Mariposa especially unique is that your wedding becomes a celebration weekend, not just a single event. All weddings and elopements are hosted alongside a two-night stay on the property, giving you space to breathe, gather, celebrate, and truly be present. Our approach is intentionally simple and flexible. We provide a beautiful, thoughtfully designed setting that allows couples the freedom to personalize their celebration with vendors, décor, and moments that reflect who they truly are. Many couples choose Mariposa because it doesn’t feel like a venue - it feels like a place where love naturally belongs.

Chateau Mariposa was beyond great. I had a very intimate micro wedding, only 12 guests total, and finding this place was a sign that it was meant to be, from the moment I booked Carmen answered questions, accommodated our needs, and was beyond helpful. We’ll remember Chateau Mariposa with the warmest hearts. From the moment we checked in, we had our names and a welcome message on the mirror, as well as fresh flowers and a letter from them wishing us the best in our marriage. So much care and thought goes into your stay there, believe me, you’ll feel it until the check-out day, and you’ll wish you could stay longer. We thank you, and we will be back!

We couldn't have asked for a better experience at The Crimson Sky Ranch for our daughter's wedding. Bill and Devora made planning so easy by answering every question we had and helping us coordinate with vendors to stay organized. They were genuinely kind people who guided us through the entire process and made us feel supported from day one. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, and the pricing was fair with plenty of perks included that made it an incredible value. Our daughter had the best wedding day there, and we have Bill and Devora to thank for making it all come together so smoothly.

The second we stepped foot on the property I knew it was the one!! Everything was perfect! I can’t get over it. My only complaint is that the coordinators almost missed arranging my bouquet toss and had to do it in 5 minutes at the end. I was also sad that I wasted money on a bubble machine that I was not allowed to use. And my last complaint is that we only got one little piece of our food we spent 4.5k on for catering. I was hoping that someone packed us a box up to eat. We literally got back to the hotel starving. But other than these things it’s a wonderful venue!
