As an amputee, I experienced the cabin this time and found that they have handicapped accessible rooms with showers and a built in bench. The toilets have handicapped accessible bars. The classroom building is a great addition with modern equipment monitors and all. These facilities are large enough for three hundred people. The Episcopal diocese office has moved on campus. They have plans to add a section of hotel type rooms. In the fifteen years, the conference center has moved from rustic to a more modern center. The next shift will make it much more useful for those who are looking for up to date center to use. Another plus is that Super Shuttles traverse between the center and the Tampa Airport.

The detail and effort the put into planning my wedding, you would think I was family, and that's exactly how they make you feel. They made sure we had everything covered to have the most perfect day possible. They abide by a very well-organized timeline and send you reminders on things you may need to get done. The décor meeting and walk through are so much fun! They are very quick to respond to phone calls and emails during operating hours. I cannot thank the Baker's Ranch day- of team, Jeremy, Jac, and especially Melissa enough. Of course, Mother Nature couldn't help but to rain on my parade (yes, I know its apparently good luck). Melissa and the team were so quick on their feet with absolutely everything, they had plan B, C, and a plan D lined up for whatever was thrown our way. Everything was executed flawlessly, and the best part is they made sure that I did not stress out about it. They were always onboard and honest with my ideas, and really made my dream wedding, come to life, even with the rain. I really do need to give a special shout out to Melissa, she was at my side when I didn't even know I needed her. She was attentive, graceful, and just a god sent on my special day.

They have a large outdoor area with a playground for kids and lots of tables. There is a small bar inside, and they are renovating more interior space for additional seating for the hot summer months. The wines are overall pretty tasty. They only grow muscadine grapes on the property and import other grapes from California and elsewhere. They have a selection of drier wines all the way to the sweet fruit wines. They also offer wine sorbets. My husband and I each got a wine flight of 4 wines for $18. I forgot how big the pours were but they were a decent size. They also offer wine tasting experience of 6 wines, smaller pours, that lasts 45 minutes. They have a small section of food. We got the pimento cheese and crackers, the cheese was delicious. They also had popsicles and ice cream, which my kids enjoyed. We got three bottles of wine to take home with us! We love supporting our Florida wineries! Also, our bartender Shelley was fantastic!

We ordered the only food available - a $19 pizza that I am pretty sure was from the supermarket freezer case. It was not worth $6. The bar tender - on a saturday night - was clueless on how to tend bar. She knew how to open a bottled beer, but was challenged beyond that. I tried to order a cocktail from their very limited selection, and had to tell her how to mix it. She had to go find items like lemon in the kitchen because she had not set up the line before opening. She didn't have a clue what simple syrup was. I stumped her on what flavored vodkas she had, and when I asked for a shot of Bailey's (on the counter behind her), she didn't know what I was talking about. Not going back again.

What I learned was the staff doesn't want to stay near those obstacles that need to be monitored. So they can stay centralized and chat with each other when it's not too busy. Sooo I think they keep closing the super bounce, the par course etc trampolines off is because the employees don't want to sit and keep eyes to regulate that 1 person goes at a time. Kinda lazy but as an employee I get it! I imagine it can be very Boring. However it affects the customer experience since they have to walk back and forth to find employees to walk back to these to open them.

However, it should be well noted that the end result was largely based on the efforts of our family and friends. While the lights provided by the venue contributed enormously to the ambiance of the evening, a lot of effort was put in by us to make the event memorable. We needed to clean the bathrooms, the tables provided were in bad shape and we needed to roll them out and set them up. Many of the table cloths they provided were stained and unusable. We had an issue with some of the lights not working and Rick (the owner) did come out and was able to fix them; however it would have been appreciated if someone had come out to check in and see how things were going. Bottom line, you can have a beautiful event here, but know you will have to put in the effort so consider it a DIY event. And for all that, 25$ taken out of our deposit!

Our story started with finding a gem of a reception venue, Worthington in Ellenton, FL. It was…read moreperfect for our daughter's wedding reception in October. It is a great location and a fun, old Florida lodge. We had everything planned, and then we had two hurricanes. This review is being done because of the unprofessional way we have been treated and how Worthington Management has handled this situation. It is now seven weeks from the day of my daughter's wedding and there is still no follow-up from Management. Imagine having your daughter's dream day become the biggest nightmare. As we waited for the hurricane to move through the area, we had no idea what would happen with the wedding plans that were made. The second hurricane affected Worthington, there was no electricity as many local businesses had to deal with. We were in communication with the wedding planner after the storm passed, this is when things were not handled the right way. The wedding planner's text communication was not timely, she finally told us the second day after the hurricane, that "there was no way it would be cleaned up by tomorrow". This was Friday and our wedding was on Saturday. The venue cancellation for the reception was devastating. We were at a loss for what to do. We received no help from Management with finding an alternative plan for where to have the reception. We had 120 family members traveling, still coming to FL for the wedding. There was a major communication problem with the wedding planner; she was not very good at handling this unexpected situation. The Worthington Management didn't reach out to us to help our family with this situation. We had to call to ask for our money back a week after they canceled the reception, as no services were rendered by Worthington. We did speak to Worthington Management and she agreed to give us a partial refund and the money my daughter gave for the bar/alcohol fees. We have yet to receive a follow-up in writing as we requested or the money that we are owed ~$6381. This isn't a small amount of money, and it is unethical to keep money for services that were not provided. We are in a situation where we don't know what to do, as we have been "ghosted" by Worthington Management and have not been paid back money that is rightfully ours.

After 9 months of planning our reception with Worthington, we could not have our reception there.   There was a hurricane coming our way the same week of my wedding. Once the hurricane passed, we had to call to see how bad Worthington was hit. The wedding planner said that they had no power, and they could not host our reception. They suggested we change the date for our wedding; however, this wasn't an option. Most of our family still made the trip to Florida and our ceremony at a church nearby was able to have the mass for us. In a crisis such as a hurricane, which was very traumatic for us, they did not help us at all to have our reception with them on the day of our wedding.   From the beginning, we always had to reach out to them for questions. They did not reach out to us to apologize and have been ghosting us throughout trying to get this resolved.   We called and spoke to management and she stated we would get our money back for the alcohol and the payments made for the venue. Still, almost two months later now, we have not heard back from management and they have not reached out to follow up on this. They are literally holding our money at this time. This is not a business you want to work with to have your dream wedding. They need better management to be able to handle when a catastrophic weather situation occurs, and it will again during hurricane season.

The prices are reasonable too, $28.95 for an adult and $13.95 for children. We recommend it highly!
