Ever After Farms Blueberry Barn

p of he aisle that truly matters! We know you will find the most perfect venue and honored to have made it on the list! Best wishes!!

ure why you would cite our lack of communication in the days following the hurricane because we have text records that prove the opposite of what you wrote? Ian was one of the most destructive hurricanes in Florida history and our team worked non-stop and sacrificed so much so that our farm would be ready for you on that day. And while the storm did shift our ceremony tree temporarily, we were able to get it moved back in place well before your event. In fact, Ian actually turned out to be a blessing for you because we added new lights to the tree and new ceremony backdrops for you to choose from, which you did took full advantage of by using our new Hexagon. You arrived at 11:33AM but you didn't pay for early arrival so we were under no obligation to allow you to access the Bridal Suite. We kindly and graciously allowed you to start getting ready early, even without charging you, but per your contract, our tours could view that space up until 12PM. That final tour had exited the Barn prior to 12PM. You did not purchase Wedding Day Management and yet we provided several of those services to you for free, from holding your dress to making plates of food. We had nothing to do with your guests leaving early. Your DJ stopped at 9:30 and started packing up his equipment and that's why your guests started leaving. One of the other services of our Wedding Day Management is to make sure you haven't left anything at the end of the night. We made it clear to you that you had to assign that responsibility to someone in your party. We made a quick scan but nothing thorough. Whoever you assigned that task to is the one that dropped that ball. We found the bottom layer of your cake the next morning and at 9:30AM, we reached out to you and your response was, "No, that's okay. If you guys want to keep it and have it for a snack later that's totally okay by us. Thank you so much again for everything last night." Therefore, we feel that we went above and beyond, from overcoming a hurricane to providing several different services for free. And the moral of this story is that Wedding Day Management is so important, whether you hire us to provide that service or you hire a third party vendor to do it. There are just too many details on your wedding day that you need an extremely experienced person to be there to handle them. Again, we appreciate you having your wedding with us and may you and your husband live happily ever after.

both! We wish you a lifetime of health and happiness <3

lt it too! ❤️ Wishing you a lifetime of love, laughter, and happily ever after! 🫐

We're wishing you a lifetime of love, laughter and happily ever after!

eriod, though? You signed a document that spelled out the details; specially that during the early access 2 hour period, we hold tours for potential couples wanting to book with us and our staff is focused and dedicated to those specific appointments. Once the standard period begins at 12PM, our staff turns its attention to your event, to assist with any venue related issues (such as putting out the correct décor) or questions your vendors may have. Once again, it was our pleasure to host your special day and we wish y’all all the best in the future!

erry farming is extremely sentimental to our family too. The low chill blueberry cultivar varieties planted in our C Block were only supposed to survive about 10 years. We were able to keep those bushes alive and flourishing even longer than that; but despite our best efforts, mother nature was more powerful and those bushes began dying rapidly in early 2020. We first tried to replace the dying ones with mature plants but that too was unsuccessful. As spring began and leaves began to emerge, it became clear just how bad the die off was in our C Block. We had to make the hard decision to either have a graveyard of dying bushes in that back section of the farm or completely replant that section. We opted to replant in the spring of 2020. And those young plants need water, hence the sprinklers. One small consolation prize for that decision is that we replanted with varieties that are evergreen and won't lose their leaves in winter. In a perfect world, we wouldn't have had to make that hard decision. Also, by the way, this beautiful bride was able to take pictures with mature plants in the front two sections of the farm but unfortunately the area closest to the barn has those newer plants. And if you are planning your wedding now, keep in mind too that those new plants will be huge by mid 2021 because they grow very rapidly. (2) The Mother of the Bride told us at the end of the night that we were absolutely flawless and how incredibly happy she was with how great our team was throughout the entire experience. She then posted a message confirming her praise for how well we did with her daughter's wedding and even said that she has another daughter planning a wedding right now and would definitely go with us again. (3) This bride's caterer asked our staff to eat some of the food because there was so much extra left over and they were just going to throw it out at the end of the night. We apologized to the bride for not asking her for permission too but we didn't want to bother her with something that we thought was so trivial in the middle of her big night. (4) Our decor is sourced from a variety of retailers as well as some items are made in house by our very talented staff. Other couples have complemented us for having decor from high end retailers like Kirkland's and Pier One. It's hard to please everyone but we try our best to provide the best decor we possibly can. Our website provides specific details on decor options and you also can see first hand what they look like when you book your tour to see one of our barns. (5) Couples that research other barn venues in Florida will tell you that Ever After Farms is the best bargain that exists in the marketplace. We don't ever use the phrase "all" in our pricing because there are certain things that we don't provide, such as catering, bartending, photography or wedding planning. But we are constantly told that our Affordable Inclusive Pricing is the best around and we are thanked over and over and over by the parents of the couples for not nickel and diming like most venues and including so much for such a reasonable price. We encourage our couples to price shop and to do their research. If they can find a more beautiful venue, at a better price, that provides more than we do, then they need to look there. We're not perfect but we strive to be. We hope this wonderful bride's comments along with our response helps you make the right decision for your big day.

ul life together!

ly!
