Covington Farm Weddings and Events

had to terminate services with an outside wedding planner. In a panic, I contacted Barbara who immediately jumped right in and took control, she did more in three weeks than the original wedding planner did in ten months! Her responsiveness and communication, even while she was on vacation, was exceptional! She immediately met with us and listened to the vision my daughter & son-in-law had for the venue and worked magic! Barbara, Lisa, Crystal & Maria brought together every elegant detail they had envisioned. November 21st, wedding day, Barbara and Maria had everything under control and I was able to to enjoy the "getting ready" process with my daughter and bridal party. Having the bridal suite for the girls to stay after rehearsal and get ready the next morning was amazing! There was plenty of room for all the festivities and the elevator was nice for the grandparents to come up and visit. It was time to head downstairs for the wedding, the wedding party was blown away at how elegant and beautiful the reception area looked. Our amazement of Covington Farms continued as the doors opened and we saw the stunning ceremony area! Barbara had attended to every detail. The ceremony was stunning! During the cocktail hour, guests strolled the property in awe of its beauty. They loved the sandhill cranes, sunset over the lake and of course the outdoor bar, hors d'oeuvres, games and music. When it came time for the grand reveal of the reception area, guests were awestruck! The tables, flowers, mantel, lighting, drapery, was more than we imagined and every guest raved at the beauty of the venue. Simply elegant! The party quickly got started after an amazing dinner and the night slipped away much too quick! When the guests left and the lights came on, Barbara and Maria's work carried on. I tried to help with cleanup when Barbara came up to me and told me to go relax, we've got this momma. This unforgettably perfect day was only due to Barbara, she pours her heart into making your wedding what you dreamed it would be!

to life. The food, DJ, bar tenders, and overall service was amazing!! It comes as an all inclusive price but you’re able to customize your options which I loved. This also included access to the grounds for an additional photoshoot such as engagement or boudoir session (which I highly recommend in the bridal suite/bathroom!). Our day was truly seamless. Mandolin worked her butt off beforehand and day off, and everything worked out beyond expectation. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing!!! Matter of fact, I wish I could relive our day just one more time!

aking. Barbara and her team were absolutely amazing. She was always available to answer any questions I had. Our wedding was truly a dream. I highly recommend having your wedding at Covington Farm.

to the big day! She would meet with me whenever I needed to come up, and helped with any questions I had! Also, decorated the venue so beautifully based on my style! :) Crystal was a Rockstar helping me with the vendors and coordinating making sure everything ran smoothly! Also big kudos to Kelsey the other coordinator as well who helped the day of and ran my rehearsal! They made the planning and day of stress free for me! I can't thank them enough. Also the addition of the camper was so cute for cocktail hour, and Terri set that up for me and decorated it beautifully! Highly recommend this venue, such an amazing team they have! <3 Thank you all for making my day so special.

ize to your style as well. The Bridal suite and Grooms suite are gorgeous and a great size for the wedding party to get ready. I love that they allow you to start set up for your event a couple days ahead in order to make sure you have enough time to get everything done. My wedding was so beautiful and we received so many compliments on how gorgeous and fun it was from our guests. The barn is amazing and we had over 250 guests that fit perfectly. Definitely recommend this wedding barn!

s venue not only offers amazing views, but the beautiful oversized barn has a gourmet kitchen, bridal suite, plenty of restrooms, tons of seating options and most important to me AC! I could go on, but truly, go see for yourself, they won’t disappoint!!

to the bridal & groomsmen suites. Absolutely amazing! Our dream wedding was brought to life by Barbara and Lisa and we could not be more grateful. We had a perfect wedding on a perfect day at a perfect venue!

of the venue or the decor package that we had already purchased. We were told we had to wash any extra dishes we used and that we had to sweep and mop the kitchen after the night was done, and if that wasn’t done we wouldn’t get our deposit back. The owner scolded us at the thought of us wanting to use silk flowers. As a bride that was looking forward to the wedding experience they made the entire process more stressful, we felt so unwelcome the entire time. They want to be a “up scale” venue but treat paying customers like garbage. Despite all of the BS we had to deal with, the wedding ended up being beautiful and very enjoyable!

y. Barbara and Lisa always went above and beyond in meeting with us, explaining the process and allowing additional visits to show family and bridal party, and add extra special touches for our wedding day :) We are so grateful! The numerous compliments further reinstated that we couldn't have picked a better place for our wedding day! It rained all day leading up to the ceremony, and as I walked down the aisle...the sun peaked in between the trees, and the beauty was UNREAL! My wedding photos are the most beautiful memories at the most amazing venue that we will cherish forever. Covington Farm offers EVERYTHING, and we would pick this venue over and over again, and we wish we could! We want to relive this day every day of our lives, and we are so thankful to Covington Farm and their staff!

th bridal suite and groomsmen suite, just incredible. Not to mention Lisa is so helpful and we cannot be more grateful for all of her help. If you are looking to get married in the greater Tampa area, Covington is by far the best!! Thank you again!!

hout the whole planning process and sat with us many times to make sure our day was perfect. Covington lets you personalize your wedding and have your own dream, it can be as laid back or as extravagant as you want. We had so many compliments on how beautiful it was from our wedding guests. One of my favorite things was the getting ready space upstairs, this is also where my husband and I stayed the night of our wedding. I would definitely recommend this venue!

I have never seen a wedding venue quite like Covington, and every time I visit I find more things I love. The owner and coordinator, Barbara and Lisa, are absolutely fantastic. They make every effort to make each and every wedding perfect for that couple. They are dedicated to putting the bride first, patient and fair with all vendors and guests, and devoted to continually making Covington a bride's dream venue. Little effort with decorating is needed for the bride/family because everything is so well thought out and beautiful there already, beautiful and spacious upstairs rooms for bridal party to get ready in, great location, easy to work with owners/workers. I cannot thank them enough for going above and beyond and will always have a special place for Covington in my heart.

e recommended also did not disappoint. Amazing food!

e head when creating this fairytale rustic setting- lake, oak trees, fields, barn, suite and so much more. Covington Farm was perfect, and this wedding venue created the wedding of my dreams. For the whole week I was able to create the inside to what I had envisioned for my big day which was one of my favorite parts of my wedding week, I was a DIY bride that wanted to be hands on. Barb and Lisa were a wonderful help with great ideas and creative inspiration. I can not say enough positive things about this wonderful venue and if any future brides are looking for a classy rustic barn this is where you should book your wedding.

pful and thoughtful people you will meet. Thank you, Covington Farm, for making our dream come true!

any compliments from my guest that it was the most beautiful wedding they have been to. The peaceful scenery is just surreal. You will not be disappointed here!

of to get ready and the night of the wedding. Adorable honeymoon suite! The hair and makeup artists loved all the space they had to use. Would highly recommend booking because they are becoming more and more known and popular so get in while you can!

ful. Barbara is excellent to work with, very kind, thoughtful. She really cares that your day is one you and your guests will never forget. She goes above and beyond, and makes you feel like family. The upstairs bride and groom suites are amazing. Having this large and beautiful space to get ready is the icing on the cake. Kitchen facilities are amazing. Every touch in this venue has been carefully thought out and expertly done. Thank you! Thank you Barbara for creating and providing such a dream maker

l, we canceled all of our other venue tours because we knew right away that Covington Farm was THE ONE! Upon arrival, we were in awe of how beautiful the surrounding areas were- the dirt road entrance, the rolling hills, open fields, pretty lakes, just everything... and then we went inside the barn and it was even more beautiful than the pictures could have ever portrayed. We had an immediate LOVE for Covington and we knew that is where we would end up spending the best day of our lives. Getting to know Barbara, Bud, and Lisa was probably the best part besides our actually wedding day. The love that these amazing people have for their venue and their work is unbelievable. They were there for every step of the way. Barbara was just a phone call or a text message away with ANY question we could think of. She helped us think out ideas and think out EVERY SINGLE detail of our special day. Every time we came into contact with Barbara, Bud, or Lisa, it felt like we were talking to a friend or family member. They really do treat you as if you are just that. September 15, 2018-- This was a beautiful, perfect day for a wedding. The bride and her bridesmaids woke up to gorgeous views as they stayed upstairs in Covington Farm's bridal suite. The day was finally here, and she felt relaxed and as if everything was complete. That morning, Barbara and Lisa were finishing up the last minute touches on the tables and ceremony decor. Bud was using the tractor moving the pews and chairs for the ceremony. Everything was coming together...and oh it looked so perfect. Barbara and Lisa also did the bouquets and boutineers for our wedding. They came upstairs and all the girls were stunned how gorgeous they came out. (The bride even cried!) The day continued to be PERFECT. The ceremony was stunning...the breeze and the shade from the big oak trees helped! The cocktail hour was when a lot of guests took pictures and strolled around in awe of the beautiful property that Bud and Barbara have. When the grand reveal of the barn came for the all the guests to see, they entered in astonishment! Once the party got started, it all flowed so fast and flawlessly. Nobody wanted the night to end! As you can tell, Covington Farm did a wonderful job for our wedding day. Our friends and family still talk about our day and this venue very often. Billy and Rachael will always be in debt to Barbara, Bud, and Lisa for the glorious event that they provided. We walk away married, but we also walk away with 3 more people we are blessed to call our friends. Thank you for everything Covington Farm. We will be back for family photo sessions for year and years to come! (babies are the next step!)

nt above and beyond to make sure our day was exactly what we envisioned. You won’t find a more hard working couple with the biggest hearts you’ve ever seen. Covington Farm was more wonderful than we ever imagined, I just wish there was a replay button! ❤️

f the most talented people I have ever met! She has such an eye for detail. Our wedding was a Fairytale. We can’t thank you enough, Covington Farm, for making our special day so amazing!! And to everyone reading, I promise you will never see anything as beautiful as what is waiting at the bottom of that hill. This place is truly breathtaking!

awe! We first fell in love with his location in the summer of 2017, when there was only an "illusion" of the barn that was to come. With only the concrete slab, framing and blueprints to go off of, we booked our event at Covington Farm on our first visit. This may seem crazy to some, but if you meet with the owner, Barbara, you will understand how in the world we felt so confident that our day would be absolutely beautiful. Her creative ideas, flair for design & passion for making your event as magical and special as you could ever imagine, was reason enough for us. We had our "Save the Date" photos taken at the venue and visited often to watch the progress of the venue transform from our first visit. We grew to love Barbara and her husband and soon felt them to no longer just be "the owners of our ceremony & reception site" but just like family. It's not often you find business owners these days that take a general interest in your happiness and making your vision come true as opposed to how many dollars they can add to the bottom line. Aside from a gorgeous ceremony & reception site, the barn also provides a jaw dropping grooms suite that my husband LOVED being able to use to relax with his guys before the ceremony, a beautiful bridal suite that was not only perfect for getting ready with my girls but also perfect for gorgeous photo ops! I am so pleased with the turn out of our wedding and love this venue so much, I am looking forward to coming back for all of our new families monumental photo shoots, which Covington Farm is also growing well known for!
