Florida Rustic Barn Weddings — Attraction in Plant City

Review

10 out 10: Loved my experience and would recommend them to anyone looking to have the best day ever.

Before signing the contract:

I knew as soon as I walked through the tall brown fence that we had the perfect venue. A gorgeous property that immediately captured my senses and set the bar for all other tours that day. We were greeted in the barn by our tour guide, who gave us all of the information we would need to make our venue decision. I believe we booked our dates within the week of touring, we signed the contract, all before Covid.

Before the wedding:

We worked with a team that coordinated efforts to help us plan our big day. We had a in person design and floral consultation, a cake and catering tasting. Everything went well, the team was flexible, kind, and professional.

During wedding:

Man, I loved how they handled everything! The rehearsal was quick, simple and organized. The wedding was perfect, the team handled everything with class. Professional, organized, experienced. The Dj was excellent, you can feel the synergy amongst the team member and the experience in coordinating weddings.

After wedding:

This is where if I could give them an 11 out of 10 I would. There was a team member who kindly helped one of our guest back to the hotel after they locked themselves out of their cars. It was very kind of them to do so. The wedding kept replaying in my head, it was the perfect day. I feel like they handled everything perfectly.

Staff:

Simon, our photographer: Excellent photographer. Simon will be the person we go to for any photoshoot. He is experienced, kind, and personable. He won’t get mad at you unless you leave your wife’s side when you shouldn’t. He is intimately familiar with the property, knows the best places and best lighting spots. Simon was also our videographer - We have not received our wedding pictures yet but we have no doubt that they will be awesome. We did our engagement shoot with Cy (his nickname, short for Simon) months before the wedding and we had a great time. We use a lot of the shots from Cy and love giving them as gifts.

Becky, the owner, initial tour guide, is AWESOME. She was calm, cool and collected. Never panicked, knowledgeable project manager, and above all a kind spirit. She gave us all the information we needed, she was with us the entire wedding planning. Led the staff to perfection, she is Cy’s better half and he is lucky to have her. They call her Becky with blue eyes and that’s because…

Becky, the ceremony coordinator: I only met her at the rehearsal, excellent people manager, kind and flexible. Understood everything we were trying to accomplish and helped us achieve our vision. She was great, and I believe she and Cy play good cop bad cop at times however the dynamic is never awkward. They make you feel like you are in a movie with a comedic all star class.

Catering by the family, for drinks and food. Guava pork will change your life, professional service. I liked them 10/10

Dessert table was EXCELLENT 11/10

Bonus: "King" Jacob, a staffer, who stayed after the wedding to clean up the venue, was kind enough to give one of our guests a ride back to their hotel because they had locked their...

This was the wedding of my dreams. The staff here is FANTASTIC from start to finish. They took care of almost EVERYTHING. Their packages cover the decorations, flowers, dj, cake and desserts, organization,... Everything except the caterers, photographer, and bartenders. Even so, they have people they recommend who also deliver top notch service! This is run by a close knit group of family and well respected business owners who enjoy their work and it shows! Staff aside, the location is gorgeous and well kept! I had my wedding in March and don't think I felt a single mosquito. They also allowed me to bring my two (big) fur babies into the mix. What wowed me the most was the organization of it all. I will admit, I threw a couple curve balls a day or two before the wedding and they still knocked it out of the park! For my particular wedding I was able to include a bubble station, s'mores for the campfire, my own succulent wedding favors, and a "wish you were here" table. As long as I supplied the extras, they took it and displayed it beautifully. Al, our officiate, is a sweet older man, who took our ceremony request to include a planting of the tree and tying "God's knot" and performed it wonderfully, with some laughs and some tears. I am honored to know him personally and can't express the joy it was to be wed by him! He is charasmatic, professional, and loving to us and our guests! The DJ, who is also included in the package, really knew the importance of reading a room and keeping us on time. He took all of my requests and worked it well! Him, and the rest of the staff were also working hard to make sure my ceremony was right on the dot at 4:20 ;) I must include, when looking your photographer, just don't. TAKE THEIR RECOMMENDATION FOR SIMON SHAKESPEARE!! You will not regret it! He is a magician with the camera and a marvelous character. My husband and I are camera shy but he was able to crack our shell while educating us on how to pose, laugh, and hold each other without tensing in the presence of others. Trust me, I'm taking his advice with me forever. It is also a nice perk that he knows all the hidden spots of the venue, works well with natural lighting and knows the staff. Their communication, timelyness, and flexibility surpassed all my expectations. And for someone who had no idea what they were doing, I was incredibly grateful for all their help. Yes, both venues are beautiful. Anyone would be lucky to wed here, but it's the staff that really makes this...

If you want a Pinterest-worthy wedding, this is your venue.

We had our wedding at Lakesong and it exceeded my expectations.

For a backstory, we came and toured Lakesong a year ago when it was still being finalized and built as a venue. Becky told us the vision for the property and we LOVED it. The white barn with the idea of twinkle lights for a reception was perfect. The ceremony in front of the grand oak with wood benches. Everything she described was fairy-tale worthy.

We came back to the venue in September to pick out our florals (Becky and Zoraya were amazing) and our cake tasting. First of all, the florals were amazing. We had giant florals in front of the grand oak for the ceremony and smaller arrangements down the aisle.

Everything was taken care of the day of the wedding. I arrived and saw everything coming together. Becky was our main coordinator and she took such good care of me. I was a bundle of nerves because I was so excited and she was so calm and stabilizing. Nothing went wrong that day and even if it did, I would never know.

The cake was phenomenal. I’m gluten free and lactose intolerant, let me tell you. No one knew the cake was gluten free and dairy free! The frosting tasted like it was dairy-filled, the cake was moist and fluffy. The flavor combinations were amazing as well. We’ll be ordering from Petite Madelyns for my birthday for sure.

The DJ was awesome as well, we gave a few specific songs to play but mostly went with themes and Chancey was GREAT! He picked the best songs and the dance floor was full pretty much all night until it was over. Chancey called me a few days before the wedding to make sure the ceremony music was correct too.

I really want to thank Becky, Zoraya, and Barbara for making my wedding a literal dream. It couldn’t have been more perfect. It takes a team to make a wedding go off without a hitch and these ladies knew exactly what to do. Thank...
