How many people can your venue accommodate?
All of our Venues, (Blueberry, Citrus, Flower, Lemon Lime, Ranch, Stockyard, Tropical Grove and Vineyard) can comfortably accommodate 200 people in the fully air conditioned/heated barn, except our Peach Venue, which can accommodate up to 80 people and is ideal for smaller, more intimate events and micro weddings.
How much do you charge per table and chair?
We don’t! Our affordable inclusive pricing includes tables, chairs, decorations, and much more at no additional charge, which saves you thousands of dollars. Optional enhancements include our Photo Booths, Wedding Day Management, Photography and Videography. A recent bride called us, “Crazy Affordable!”
Are decorations included in your pricing?
Absolutely! We provide a tremendous array of decorations to help you save time and money. We have several different options for table centerpieces, including floral arrangements, table numbers, lanterns, and LED candles. We also have many “Pinterest Worthy” signs like our seating chart and wedding schedule. Our ceremony decorations include 1st Corinthians 13:4-8 signs, hanging mason jars, and so much more.

Do you allow more than one wedding at the same venue on the same day?
No. Only one wedding per day per venue.
Who sets up the tables, chairs and decorations that the venue provides?
We do! Our set up team will follow the layout you designed and will set up any of our tables, chairs or decorations. You and your wedding party are only responsible for setting up any additional decorations that you are bringing. If it is our stuff, we will set it up!
What is the deposit for booking a date?
It’s only $500!
What is the payment schedule?
We’re also very flexible with the payments so when you tour, our team can customize a plan for you.
Do you have a list of recommended vendors?
We have lists of the very best of the best vendors, one for each region of Florida. They have been crowned worthy of being an Ever After Farms Preferred Vendor.
Do you have an Open Vendor Policy?
While we strongly recommend that you select Vendors from our Preferred Vendors List, we have an Open Vendor Policy to provide you the flexibility to choose your vendors, with two exceptions; (1) the Vendor is not on our blacklist (but you wouldn’t want to hire such a vendor on your big day anyways), and (2) if alcohol will be served at your event, for the safety of you and your guests, we require that only a bartender from our Preferred Vendors List can serve the alcohol. Also, all vendors that perform services on our farms must provide evidence of liability insurance. And, if you hire a vendor that is not on our Preferred Vendors List, there is an outside vendor accommodation fee for their use of our facilities, utilities, trash service, supplies, staff’s time, etc, in the amounts; $300 (Caterers), $100 (Florists, DJs/Entertainment, Planners, Photographers, Videographers), $50 (every other vendor).
When can vendors arrive for setup?
When you book, you have the venue for 10 hours. Your vendors can arrive as early as 12PM on the day of the event for setup.
