So if you are in the market to have a wedding/celebration in Florida and you are not thinking about booking Simpson Lakes - you are making a huge mistake and to be frank settling going elsewhere. This venue is beyond magical. From the way they ...designed it, the property and the rental items they offer, this place has it all. The first time we visited I instantly knew we needed to book simply on the initial 'wow' factor this venue has. You feel like you are no longer in Dade City when you visit this venue. The venue itself just has so many things that just make so much sense that many other venues were missing. There is a small rental house on the property which is beautifully decorated and fits a standard bridesmaid/groomsmen group easily and also intimate enough to accommodate newly weds. I am so glad we booked that house - so if you have the option and it's available, DO IT.
Also, I just need to give a quick shout out to the team at Simpson Lakes - Caroline and the rest of the team are just sincerely the most professional, well-coordinated, helpful, and responsive group. That group works like a well-oiled machine. I can't tell you how many questions I asked Caroline and team during the preparation for our wedding (possibly too many questions) and they were always there to provide a timely response which lets be real, that's all you want in venue contacts! And they are beyond helpful and just make you feel like your wedding day/celebration is just as important to them as it is to you. They are not trying to just push you out the door and move on to the next event. Also, the vendor choices that Simpson Lakes recommends are on point and we had a great experience with every vendor we booked. I was not stressed at all the day of because I felt like the Simpson Lakes team along with my coordinator had our backs during the whole day.
This is going to be a moment you have with you and your guests for the rest of your life. Do yourself a huge favor and do not settle by looking elsewhere. This venue has it all and I cannot tell you how many compliments we got on the venue alone. Our guests were just as in awe as we were and that was just the cherry on top of the cake for us.
For your next celebration (birthday/wedding/just for fun), please put Simpson Lakes as your number one consideration. You will not regret it.
