If you are on the quest for the ultimate wedding venue that boasts breathtaking scenery and a team of attentive, caring, and downright amazing staff, let me tell you, you've just struck gold – and I seriously mean the jackpot! Without a shadow of a doubt, I wholeheartedly recommend Ever After Farms (EAF), with a special nod to the Vineyard Barn.
My journey began with an engagement in February 2021, leading up to my magical wedding day on December 29, 2023. In my pursuit of the perfect venue that ticked all the boxes – affordability, stellar reviews, jaw-dropping scenery, an outdoor ceremony site, friendly and professional staff, vendor recommendations, catering flexibility, and more – Ever After Farms Vineyard Barn not only checked off these essentials but exceeded my wildest expectations.
Picture this: two outdoor ceremony sites, a majestic 200-year-old oak tree draped in hanging moss, grape vines embracing the property, and a plethora of decor options ranging from backdrops, ceremony site decor, table decor (including charger plates, candles, greenery, flowers, vases, lanterns, candelabra centerpieces, etc.) drapery options, couches, tables and chairs – the list is honestly endless. Regardless of your style or vision, Ever After Farms effortlessly caters to every bride's dream.
But the magic doesn't stop there. Enter Wedding Day Management – a game-changer that elevated my wedding day to unprecedented heights. Moriya and Cameron, the dynamic duo behind the scenes, were not just attentive, professional, and friendly; they were the architects of my dream wedding. As an anxious bride, entrusting them to bring my vision to life was a leap of faith, but one that paid off tenfold. After our first meeting with the wedding day management team, I knew that I was in good hands. Moriya was extremely detail oriented, thorough, and confident. I told my (now) husband that after that meeting, I was 100% sure that Moriya and her team would be able to handle whatever came their way and she gained all of my trust in that instant.
The day before the wedding, amidst family stress and last-minute preparations, Moriya, Amy, and Cameron sensed my anxiety and ensured I left the rehearsal stress-free. They reminded me that this is a celebration of my husband and I so they would handle everything and to let them handle all preparations. Amy, the Ever After Farms Team Lead, was an absolute delight to talk to and her soothing presence allowed me to melt away the stress I had on the rehearsal day and the morning of my wedding. On the wedding day, their expertise shone through, delivering a seriously stress-free wedding. They shielded me from unnecessary distractions, handling everything with absolute trust and precision. From dawn to dusk, my wedding day unfolded like a dream, all thanks to Ever After Farms.
Guests described it as a scene from a movie, and some even joked about us getting married again just to celebrate at this enchanted venue. Every aspect of my wedding exceeded my wildest dreams, and I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have chosen Ever After Farms, especially with their Wedding Day Management option. I want to especially thank Moriya from the bottom of my heart.
Their vendor recommendations were a treasure trove – from a dreamlike hair artist (Jackie at Mane Event Artistry) to a out of this world talented makeup artist (Ashley at Beauty by Ashley) and a photographer (A&S PhotoFilm) whose sneak peeks left us breathless. And I can’t forget to mention the energetic and extremely quick serving bartending service from Toast with Cocktails.
And a special mention to the energetic bilingual DJ, Edwin from Win Show Events, who is not yet on their preferred vendor list but whom we found through social media posts of other brides who have used him at their venue. He truly deserves to be on that list as well!
If I could turn back time and plan my wedding again, Ever After Farms Vineyard Barn would undoubtedly be my top choice. For those seeking venues in different parts of Florida, don’t worry! – Ever After Farms has several locations, ensuring your dream wedding is within reach, no matter where you envision tying the knot. My HIGHEST recommendation and a MILLION+ stars go to this venue and their exceptional staff. Trust me, your dream wedding awaits when you choose Ever After Farms.
