This placed saved our wedding during COVID - we live streamed our wedding to 300+ guests from here and it was extremely memorable to all. It also helped that they have 2 airbnbs adjacent available to rent for our wedding preparations. I then had my baby shower at this location, hosting up to 25 people. The conservatory is a beautiful backdrop, and there are many niche spaces that are wonderful for photographing. Highly recommend.

I've been trying to schedule a tour for this venue for over a month and have had a very frustrating…read moreexperience. I've been in contact with the manager, Andrea, and every time she responds, she says she will email me with her availability--but the email never comes. I've also followed up by text multiple times and received no response. I've never experienced this level of unresponsiveness just to book a simple tour. Extremely disappointed with the lack of communication and customer service.

I rarely feel the need to leave negative feedback, but our experience at Villa Sol d'Oro was…read morenothing short of a total waste of time. We scheduled a formal tour to view the venue, only to be met with a complete lack of basic professionalism. The facilities director Andrea Bertollini, who was confirmed to lead our tour, simply did not show up. We waited for 40 minutes in the hope that someone would eventually arrive or provide an explanation, but we were left standing there with zero communication. If a venue cannot even manage to show up for a scheduled sales tour, I have zero confidence in their ability to coordinate an actual wedding day. This level of flakey behavior is extremely unprofessional and frankly insulting to couples who are narrowing down their options. If you value your time and want a venue that actually respects its clients, look elsewhere. There are plenty of beautiful locations in the area that understand the basics of hospitality and reliability. Villa Sol d'Oro is clearly not one of them.

There is also a great size space to have your own private photo shoot with a green screen, a black & a white screen as well. Oh... and one more thing! They have a "CO-work space" available. Terrific idea... hang out in a kool environment , all the space in the world to work on your stuff without distractions from home or other nuisances . The owners were super down to earth & friendly!!! Go check it out... it's a TREASURE!!!!

Jinn was helped us with our drinks menu, and there was another server during this time. Unfortunately I couldn't get her name but she was wonderful as well.

When you walk in they have these mirrors on each side that you can take pics in or look at your outfit! They have seating at the bar and lounge area. I love the flower decor that's in the ceiling!! It gives the place a nice modern luxury touch. It's not too big but perfect for a party of 30-40 persons. They have parking in the lot right by Outback! It's easy to find and very nice to celebrate. You can also have food catered or taco truck outside venue. I will come back her for another event or maybe in the future consider renting out for myself. -Marshay D.

DO NOT BUY FROM NOBEE! Trust me on this and stay far away. There's too many florists out there to…read morewaste your time (AND MONEY!) with this lady. I specifically called her and told her what I wanted. Pink and white floral arrangement. I provided her with the information on her website as she didn't know which arrangement (on her own website) that I was requesting when I said "Sweet tea bouquet." She asked me to provide her with the number on the item. THat should have been the first red flag. She said she had the colors in that arrangement and would make it pink and white. I told her I wasn't a fan of carnations, and if she could find another comperable flower to add to the pink and white bouquet, please do. SHE PUT PURPLE FLOWERS IN MY PINK AND WHITE BOUQUET! I also asked her to please send me a photo of the arragnement before it went out. She said ok. I never got a photo. I know why, after looking at this arrangement. I paid nearly $140 for this! See photo below. $140!!!! SERIOUSLY? I posted below a photo of what she is advertising on her website and what she actually provided. oh, and these are only ONE sided... so don't think it's a 360 bouquet (which means half of the flowers). I specifically asked her on the phone if she could make it look like the photo. If not, I would have gone elsewhere. She promised she could. Alas, she did not. Big time DID NOT. I called her to discuss and she wouldn't let me get a word in edgewise. All she wanted to do was argue with me and tell me why she did what she did and that she never sends photos to anyone (she absolutely did NOT tell me that when I asked her...before the sale). She also told me that her website photos never look like her arrangements (!!!) after she told me it would before I placed my order. She kept telling me that what she provided was exactly like what I paid for. She's HORRIBLE and I highly recommend staying FAR away from this place! See Leslie's review below... Same situation here. The positive reviews below are probably reviews she's paid people to write or they are her friends/family. I would never do business here again, and I urge you not to as well.

My husband and I got married here at the end of May - it's a beautiful, magical, quirky place, and…read moreit's also very affordable. Even though it rained, which is almost unheard of at this time of year, we had an amazing time. Ken, the caretaker, is a very sweet man and very helpful. For a very low fee, we spent the night in the adorable private apartment, and some friends stayed in the bunkhouse, which was a really nice perk. Also, since you just pay per person, we were able to afford to reserve the venue the day before and the day after in order to set up and clean up - that was a real godsend. As others have noted, we had to hire a shuttle service, which did increase our cost. Unfortunately, it's not a very accessible site for people with disabilities. All in all, we're very happy we got married at Nature Friends, and look forward to spending more time there in the future!
