Saxon Manor was the perfect venue for our wedding. Their communication throughout the planning process was very easy; they were always quick to respond to emails and phone calls with a friendly and helpful attitude. The venue itself is so pretty, with beautiful gardens and architecture that made a gorgeous backdrop for our photos. It was definitely worth the money to host our reception there. The staff at Saxon Manor went above and beyond for us on our special day - they were attentive to every detail, from the setup and decor to making sure my husband and I were well taken care of. We couldn't have asked for a better venue and highly recommend Saxon Manor to any couple planning their wedding! Even the food was a huge hit.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about The Brownwood Hotel and Spa as a wedding venue! After our original venue canceled our wedding plans just two months before our big day, we were in a bit of a panic. But from the moment we connected with Katie Hendricks and the team at The Brownwood, all of our stress melted away. Katie was an absolute dream to work with — she was professional, responsive, and genuinely cared about making our day perfect. The entire staff went above and beyond to accommodate us, and it truly felt like they were invested in our happiness. The venue itself is stunning. The blend of elegance and warmth made it the perfect setting for our winter wedding in December. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, and the atmosphere was absolutely magical. Now, let’s talk about the food — WOW. Chef Daphne is an incredible talent. Every dish was beyond delicious, and our guests haven't stopped talking about how amazing the food was! From the appetizers to the main course, everything was perfectly prepared and full of flavor. It’s clear that Chef Daphne pours her heart into every dish, and it made our reception unforgettable. As for the drinks and bar service, we were equally impressed. The bartenders were friendly, efficient, and made sure everyone had exactly what they wanted. The drinks flowed smoothly all night, and our guests loved the cocktail options. I would highly recommend The Brownwood Hotel and Spa to any couple looking for a beautiful, stress-free wedding experience. The staff, the food, the drinks, and the venue itself exceeded all of our expectations. Thank you to Katie and the entire team for making our special day absolutely perfect!

I’ve been working with Golden Ocala as a Wedding DJ for over 15 years and I have to say the latest remodel is AMAZING!!! You have to see it in person to truly appreciate it’s beauty. I’ve attached a picture that I took(I’m a DJ not a photographer) of a recent Wedding. The staff is easy to work with and that translates into a happy client because we work as a team and the client is able to enjoy their event and not worry about all the details. I HIGHLY recommend you just visit Golden Ocala, and you will be so impressed that you won’t want to leave.
