She let me come to the venue as many times as I liked and was so flexible. One of the best parts is the décor that you are able to use. It saved me so much money and it was so easy to not have to transport extra items. This includes arches, champagne walls, greenery, yard games, vases, and so much more. The space is beautiful, with an outdoor ceremony under the trees, a spacious cocktail area outside, and an air conditioned reception area. It is consistently being updated and is well taken care of. Not to mention, the adorable animals you pass by when driving up. I loved that the bride and groom suites were onsite and include mini fridges, TVs, private bathrooms, and more. I could not recommend Darby Farm enough, it was truly the perfect venue.

Went last Saturday for Merry Driftmas to watch a friend participate. Entry for spectators was $30…read moreeach which we felt was awfully high but we were there to support a friend. We wouldn't have paid $30 otherwise as the event wasn't worth the amount. One of the parking attendants did say they do have other events that are cheaper. There were only 4 or 5 small bleacher areas to sit which isn't much but we didn't have a hard time finding a place to sit as we were up and down for the few hours we were there. The bathrooms.....so clean! I was impressed. There grounds were filled with food trucks which was cool and everyone at the event was respectful and nice. There were a few other areas to hang out but we didn't stay long enough to hang as we had somewhere else to go but we'd try it again! Just felt it was too pricey. Thank goodness was parking was free.

I am so super happy that a car show venue like this exists in my area. I am a huge car enthusiast…read moreand have had to travel to Pinellas County quite often for car shows in the past (other options would be Wiregrass or Orlando). Now, I'm able to go to a car show on Friday nights after work. Can't make it Friday night? They have Thursday nights as well, and special holiday events usually taking place on Saturdays. There is plenty of room to roam about freely if you are still mindful of social distancing. Many food options, live music or a DJ, the ever famous burnout pad, and then the car and bike display area. As time goes on I do hope more hot rods come up to Lead Foot City because that's what really hooks me in. Achilles the mayor of Lead Foot City is an awesome guy and you can tell he puts his heart and soul into making this a great entertainment venue. What are you waiting for? Check it out!

I thought WOW, this was a perfect place for my best friends baby shower! After some research we were able to conveniently set an appointment for a tour through the website. Our tour experience went great. Kristen was very helpful and organized when it came to the floor plan and decor. Her baby shower ended up being SO beautiful!! Her guests were very impressed by the spacious lawn and rustic yet elegance of the barn itself. I'd highly recommend the space to anyone in the Tampa/Odessa area planning a major event!

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Judi and Events at New Beginnings! When we first…read moremet Judi, we had set our wedding date just over 2 months out. From day one, Judi never once made us feel like our vision was impossible, unrealistic, or too last-minute even though we knew it was a tight timeline. Instead, she met us with kindness, creativity, and reassurance. She helped coordinate our off-site ceremony at a park and stayed in constant communication with us throughout the planning process. One of the most unique and special moments was getting an early preview of the venue fully set up and it was beyond anything we could have ever imagined. The reception itself was everything we wanted and more - nothing ever felt rushed or complicated, which is priceless on your wedding day. Judi even checked in with us after the wedding to see how we were doing and sent photos and videos she took herself, which meant so much to us. If you're looking for a wedding venue with an owner who is compassionate, organized, creative, and truly invested in making your day special, I highly recommend Judi and Events at New Beginnings!

The catering failures on her wedding day were numerous and inexcusable. We had carefully selected a menu after going through TWO tastings, the first of which was so unsatisfactory that we actually asked to bring in our own caterer. We were persuaded to give them a second chance after being told a new chef had been hired. We went back, had a second tasting, and selected our menu: chicken skewers and a dip and cheese platter for appetizers, and for dinner, caesar salad, plain rice pilaf, steak bites, au gratin potatoes, and salmon. Here is what was actually served at my daughter's wedding: * Instead of salmon, they served chicken. * Instead of au gratin potatoes, they served green beans and zucchini, something no one wanted or enjoyed. * Instead of plain rice pilaf, it came out with cranberries in it. * They ran out of chicken skewers during the appetizer hour. Many of our guests did not get any. That is three wrong dinner items and a shortage on the appetizers, on my daughter's wedding day. The manager on site (Nick) acknowledged the mistakes and apologized, and told us the owner would call to make it right. When the owner called me, I was shocked by his behavior. He tried to justify serving green beans by saying they had received a large shipment and had extras lying around, as if my daughter's wedding was a place to use up surplus produce. He claimed he personally witnessed plenty of skewers and suggested our guests may have been overeating. He made an insinuation that my daughter was somehow at fault by saying "I don't want to say your daughter was at fault, but." He stopped there and gave no reason whatsoever how or why the bride would be at fault here (because there is none). When I asked him what do you mean my daughter is at fault, he changed the subject. And when I calmly said this appeared to be a breach of contract, he became loud, aggressive, and belligerent, repeatedly yelling "you played me." I was so uncomfortable with his conduct that I ended the call and told him all future communication must be in writing or with a male (attorney) family member. I then sent a detailed email to the owner and the venue documenting everything and asking for appropriate compensation. They never replied. Not once. Months went by in complete silence. It was only after my daughter filed a BBB complaint and posted a review that they acknowledged any of this, and even then, their response only mentioned one of the four problems and offered no compensation whatsoever. If you are considering Saxon Manor for your wedding or any event, please think carefully. When things go wrong, and they may, this is how they handle it.

The BoHo venue at Saxon Manor is beautiful, but my son and fiancé were disappointed by several…read moreimportant details and limitations that were not disclosed before booking. They later learned the BoHo package operates very differently from the Barn and Garden weddings, including a different vendor list and additional restrictions that were never clearly explained upfront. Throughout the planning process, it felt as though the Barn and Garden weddings were the priority, while BoHo couples were given less flexibility and importance despite paying significant deposits and costs. The bridal suite information stated it was available beginning at 9 AM on the wedding day. However, after booking, we were informed that practical getting-ready access would only be for approximately two hours before the ceremony. It also was not disclosed that the bride and guests would need to walk through the reception area in order to access the ceremony aisle and seating area. Before booking, we were told there was a larger gate entrance that could be used, but after booking we were informed that was not an option. This took away from the private and traditional ceremony entrance experience we believed we were reserving. They were also asked to select dishes and glassware during planning, only to later be told those selections were not guaranteed if needed for the larger Barn or Garden weddings. Additional décor restrictions were also disclosed after booking, including that candles could only be used if rented directly through the venue, and we were not permitted to modify the sweetheart table setup. Unfortunately, despite these concerns and the lack of upfront transparency regarding several operational details, Saxon Manor is still keeping our $1,600 deposit. Transparency matters when couples are making major financial decisions, and we wish these details had been clearly disclosed before signing and paying a deposit.
