The event was held at the Garden House with gorgeous large chandeliers and another wedding occurring at the Antique Barn. Don't worry though, there is plenty of space between the two weddings and no disturbance! Cocktail hour was under a majestic oak tree, but mosquitoes were vicious in the evening, so bring bug spray! The dance floor is spacious and since bride is Dominican Republic, loved the Spanish music, so you can get your groove on. The music being broadcasted during dinner was loud and had to shout when talking to friends. The decor was every women's dream with perfectly placed bouquets of white hydrangeas and white roses. They have a list of vendors recommended for the event that know the setup as well as options to use outside suppliers. I dont know who catered the event; Food was disappointing and did not sync with 5 star venue. The steak was well done with grisly pieces of fat & didnt seem like it was quality meat. The mango/cilantro sauce was the best, right amount of sweetness & helped with taste of dry chicken. I only had a couple bites of each and ate some mashed potatoes and took some bites of overcooked, mushy veggies. The cake was my favorite, definitely a Spanish take with savory and sweet notes. I thought that was the highlight, glad could end on a high note! Lange Farm has to be one of the nicest wedding venues I've been to, definitely a top contender for picturesque photos with graceful oak trees & a constant breeze in April. It is a luxurious place. My coworker and I briefly talked about the cost, which I believe is around $50,000 for venue along with food and booze package.This comes out to be $7,143 an hour assuming guests arrived at 4pm and left around 11pm, definitely above average cost of a wedding in Central FL, which in 2017 was $271/person or $37,898! If you're going to do it big, do it here. There were two bars setup, so you can always stay hydrated and try not to think too much on how much $ you're spending because it's a ton!

The wedding was held in the field in front of an oak tree. It was absolutely beautiful except for the walk into the dirt to our seats and then the mosquitos and gnats that attacked right as they were saying I DO! gahhh We ran off the field and into the open front area and hung around til they opened the barn doors. The whole venue is so barn chic and fabulous!

Before the safari even started, Elena showed us around and introduced us to so many amazing animals. We saw two different species of otters, monkeys, lemurs, a tortoise, tiny deer, guinea pigs, pigs/boars, and even some very intimidating velociraptor-looking creatures (still not sure what those were, but wow). There were only three other people on our tour, so it truly felt like a private experience. Elena is an incredible storyteller. She is knowledgeable, funny, and genuinely kind. My daughter and I learned so much about the animals and the farm, and we were completely engaged the entire time. During the safari, we fed four different giraffes and saw deer, zebras, a cheetah, tapirs, warthogs, and a pygmy hippo. One of the giraffes, Kya, came back to us again so we could feed him more and he even let us scratch him, which was amazing. Then we got to feed the lemurs. There were about 30 of them who gently climbed all around us while we fed them grapes. They were so sweet and careful. Then Lex took us to feed the monkeys. We fed so many different kinds, and Lex was just as kind, knowledgeable, and engaging as Elena. He shared his background and how he started the ranch. They even have an adorable little gift shop to wrap up the visit. Elena and Lex truly could not have been more hospitable. We highly, highly recommend visiting.

It doesn't seem like much at first, but when going through everything it's very special. Once coming in we were greeted with a wonderful welcome. Once you enter you are by the flower fields. they were done and no longer available and visible. We visited the area with lassoing and also it being beside the hay bails which was a maze. Afterwards we walked over to the barn with the goats and highland farms. They were so sweet. They gave us food for them and the cows love to lick your hands. I was also happy to hold the baby goat that loved to snuggle and lick. It was so heartwarming and wonderful. They also have other cows there too. We walked back to walk through the hay bale maze and took a tour of the farm on their tram. Their tram is a good size that is also used at the kumquats fields in Dade City. We were the only one with a tram so it was a nice personal ride. They have tons of fields of rows of blueberries that are whole sale. It's a really big farm. The air was fresh and nice and it was a relaxing ride. Once we came back we finished up by having some soda, tacos, and tamales and a snow cone. It was a wonderful visit on the farm on a Sunday morning with my friend Boon and Grace.

If you understand there really is no (as in ZERO) backup for rain and still love it, go ahead. Forget the rain. Tried to start ceremony 15 minutes early as bride and photographer wanted to get outside photos during pause in rain and were shut down. NO. Not happening. We managed a few photos post ceremony and skies opened. Observe cocktail tables in dance area during cocktail hour but no one from venue escorted or guided guests to that room so dining room was used. Not pleased. Saw two appetizers shrimp tossed on a plate and Costco-style spanikopita. I know I paid for the Platinum Package and son said he had a beef Wellington. Will take his word for it. Oh, asked for a Coke prior to ceremony and was told I can have lemonade or water. Okey dokey. No wine poured with dinner. Rolls served after salads finished. Father's meal served 12 minutes after others at the table. And cold. Father was also informed he wasn't on their schedule for speech and had to wait till they got around to pouring champagne. He informed representative that that was just not going to happen and adjust their time line. Quite honestly, fortunate my husband didn't totally lose his mind by then. Good thing I ordered dessert platters for all tables in addition to cake as our cake was cleared before we had a chance to eat it. There appeared to be a mas rush to clear so staff could get home and this was not yet 9.30pm. If on a budget, I see the charm. If it is sunny, perhaps different experience and perhaps they will learn to be more fluid and flexible with their timelines. Roof leaked as well. Left a cocktail table on already cozy dance floor. Cocktail table was there to collect the rain water so it wouldn't puddle on floor. You really couldn't make all this up. I do have a great florist recommendation, though. Management should be ashamed at how the evening progressed.

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things. When my now husband and I decided to use Town Manor, we did not fully understand what we were getting - we were being accepted and welcomed into a new family, with open arms. The moment I began to plan, and stress over the details, Town Manor stepped in, like the amazing people they are, to alleviate that stress. Any time I had a question, they were there to respond. Any time I was stuck or needed to meet in person, Nandy and Emily were available to help me and to walk me through the planning. They made the process so easy and stress free which made me able to worry about other things. From an allergy free menu to a custom play list, they made it happen. Anything I needed; they were there for. If you are on the fence about Town Manor, let me help you with a decision. For the price, you will get perfection. For the price, you will have a dedicated team that will be there for you and help you along the way. For the price, you will have peace of mind and an amazing experience that I know other vendors cannot match. I met and spoke with at least 30 other places and options before I found Town Manor and I am so glad I found them! Their price was better than everyone else's and they made me feel welcome, loved and appreciated - like I mattered - from the very first conversation. Above all, you will be welcomed in to a wonderful, loving family of some of the best humans I have ever met in my life - I am grateful to Town Manor and to Nandy, Don and Emily, to which I say, thank you. Side note: the food is seriously amazing and the cake was the best I have ever had in my life.

Loved loved loved my experience at Sanchez Farms…read more I only recently heard of their festival and I went on the very last day. Their festival is actually called the Festival of Marigolds and it is celebrated along side Dia de Los Muertos. The fields of flowers are breathtaking and there's so many in different heights. You can walk through them and take pics. It's not a u pic though. They do their own picking of flowers and sell them for bouquets. There's entertainment here, animals and tons of yummy Mexican food. We did not get food or buy anything bc the lines were LONG. They opened every day so it would have been better if we could come during the week. Hopefully next year at the end of October through beginning of November this event will happen again. It was very popular and $10 parking and no admission fee so basically the parking was the admission was a good deal. This is also dog friendly which is nice. Def a place to wear close toed shoes too while walking through the fields is much easier bc it's very Sandy.

The fields are for picture opportunities only. They had a table where you could purchase flowers and souvenirs. They did have areas you could sit and eat. But the lines to purchase anything was at least an hour long and to sit was just as long of a line. This was my 1st time ever to visit this place. So we were able to take pictures and wait 30 minutes in line for Boba and fruit cups. It is expected that you respect the flower field when taking pictures. So you enter when ever you want no wait line. Unless you want a popular picture stop.

I ended up picking a couple flowers to bring home it was a really nice experience. They also had a petting zoo and some farm animals on the property like a camel, Highland cows, goats, and more. For the kiddos, they had a little bouncy area and also a ball pit and corn pit to play in also they have two big slides. They do have vendors that come out on the weekends so if you're looking to do a little shopping or wanna grab a bite, they do have options. PS: the bathrooms are in a kind of a trailer. It is a tight squeeze and not handicap accessible.

Weekends through May 10, 2026 (Saturdays and Sundays), they have their Sunflower Festival. There is an admission fee for families for this event which has music, animal encounters, kids activities, sunflowers, tons of pic pops, and hay rides, just to name a few. Came here on a Friday with my friends Grace and Boon. There was no admission, & not all of the sunflower festival activities were available. We were able to take fun pics, jump on the jumping pad, see the animals, go in the sunflower field, pick flowers, and take pics. There were also areas for shade when it got pretty toasty. Loved visiting here and being around all the sunflowers. It was so much fun. The farm is not dog friendly so I didn't take my dog who is always with me. It was too hot for him anyway.

Each time I have showed up on a weekend in January and they were not too busy. There is a dirt lot to park in next to a large covered area where they offer fresh food items as well as a souvenir shop. Unfortunately I did not try the food but from what I saw, it looked great. There are many rows of strawberries to pick from. At one point we had the whole field to ourselves. There are so many beautiful strawberries that are plump and ready for picking. They provide you with a flat that holds 10 lbs, but you can overfill it to 15 lbs or maybe even more. The price is very reasonable at $3.50/lb. This is my go to strawberry picking farm. As long as they are open, I will continue to come here once a year.
