Lavender on the Lake

This venue is not completed currently but it's beautiful and the vision they have for it is great. I fell in love with this place as soon as I went to tour it. I originally planned to have a 2 day Indian wedding at this venue. If you are looking to book this unit, I would say there are a few concerns as there are a lot of promises of getting things done on time which seem close to impossible in a little over 2 months (June 1st is their first wedding). The biggest reason I did not go with this venue is the Owner's Wife Shelley. She was very sweet during the tour, but she is frazzled very easily. She was not open to sending a contract for review before giving a verbal yes, she provided incorrect information regarding the ability to bring home cooked food for the Hindu ceremony and did not mention the day of coordinator requirement that is in their contract. Although these might seem minor, the situation that caused me to run in the opposite direction of this venue is Shelley's comments. I had sent an email regarding possibly having only one of my events at their venue and asked if the pricing provided was dependent on doing both days. She then called me, so I asked her the question and her response were "Yes" and then later said "No." That caused confusion so I asked the question again. She then responded with, "I will not be bullied into an answer." That statement threw me completely off and was extremely uncalled for and rude. It's her job to be able to provide those answers or state she will get back to me. At that point on, I asked for a sit-down meeting to also ask a few other questions and she stated I had to email so she could consult with an attorney. That seems very extreme regarding basic questions around the venue and contract. In all, I DO NOT recommend booking them as they created added stress around something that should be exciting as an engaged couple. If she acted like this prior to booking, I could only imagine the hardships I would have if I booked the venue.

This view….BREATHTAKING!!!!! I heard we were going to celebrate a friend’s birthday at this wedding venue and didn’t know what to expect. Once we arrived, there were twinkling lights, little table tents, lavender and land galore for what seemed liked miles, and a beautiful quaint dock that sat on the lake where all were gathered with the most gorgeous sunset behind everyone. I was captivated by the beauty of it all…neglected my birthday friend completely! 🥰🤭 But then the wedding venue itself. Still not completely finished but I was taken back by how enormous this venue was. Every little detail, these owners have thought of. The large windows that open up to that view I was referring to earlier…just HEAVENLY!!!! I have been to many outdoor weddings in the last 24 years and I have NEVER seen anything like this in Florida. It is a hidden gem that will be booked quickly and completely years in advance. If you have the chance to take a tour, DO IT!!! You will not regret it! You will 100% will book and be competing with every bride and groom on which date is available! Lavender on the Farm!!!! I can’t wait to attend an event when all is complete m. I’ve never seen anything so BEAUTIFUL!!
