Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Rooted in stewardship to the land, this working 40-acre citrus farm was purchased by "Papa Joe" and his wife to create a lasting foundation for their family. Now, you can begin your own loving foundation here, set among organically grown blackberries, peaches, figs, and elderberries—just a short distance from the heart of Central Florida but with a worlds-away feel.
- A stone paver patio on a verdant lawn sets the stage for your "I do"s, backed by lush citrus groves, which are at their height in December and January. Receptions follow the open-air covered pole barn, where a dance floor, chandelier and market lighting, a DJ setup, and ceiling-mounted fans offer just about everything you need for a fabulous party, and the versatile breeziness of the space is especially well-suited to mild Florida evenings.
- Transparent, all-day packages take the stress out of planning, with generous inclusions like coordination services, dressing rooms, a rehearsal, and tables & chairs. Small weddings and elopements are also welcome, and have the option to select a truly dreamy ceremony site: a magical peach orchard, which bursts into bloom with pristine pink flowers every February.
