I am the mother of the bride. My daughter had her wedding at Saxon Manor in December 2025, and I am…read morewriting this review because what happened to our family needs to be known. 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.

To say this majestic and beautiful place is a hidden gem seems both incredibly accurate, as well as not entirely accurate enough. I firmly believe that any way this amazing place could be described or complimented would somehow still be far understated. If I am giving the standard rating based on stars and personal experience, I must say that this is a "MUST SEE" Florida destination. The Farm of Dreams is magnificent from the moment you pull up to the coded gate that offers a very safe/private and personal experience. Anyone that travels with little ones in tow can certainly appreciate knowing the importance of this safety bonus as an amenity. From the time you book your reservation up to the time you check out you are met with professionalism that is complimented with a type of kindness and courtesy that instantly gives that home away from home feeling. This 120acre Campground/RV resort is Family run and absolutely impeccably maintained. While your family is enjoying nature at is finest the staff works non- stop behind the scenes. On a personal note, I would like to thank Brandy for being so professional while also always maintaining a friendly and welcoming smile. Your ability to accommodate to whatever needs my family had last minute was greatly appreciated as well as impressive. Cassie a thousand thanks for your professionalism that always seemed to be attached to a great big smile while providing the most absolutely best kept and immaculately cleaned facilities. I also want to thank Josh and Joey/aka JoJo for all that you guys helped me with during my stay. As well as all that you do daily to keep this property so manicured and pristinely maintained. It truly lives up to that resort style feeling while camping. From tents, r v's, campers and cabins to choose from for your experience, this family run Jewel is something you don't want to miss. Beautiful lake view, many trails to walk hike or ride on a rented golf cart to explore. Indoor outdoor games and activities that promise to leave you relaxed, unbothered and never bored! If you have not been to the website, I highly recommend you review all they have to offer. This salt of the earth, old fashioned family run Farm of Dreams has nailed it! What you read on the site is all accurate and then some. Almost 50yrs. living in Florida with countless camping experiences, this is by far the best of the best. If you are considering a camping experience look no further and book now. There may be times where they are fully booked and you certainly don't want to miss out on this one. I recommend booking far in advance, only due to the fact that it will not stay hidden forever. Thanks to Pappa Joe, Mrs. Linda and Diane. An amazing family and an amazing job that you guys have all done turning a farm into a literal slice of Heaven on Earth with the perfect name and resort style camping experience that will no doubt bring endless smiles, laughter, relaxation and fun for all who are blessed to experience the "Farm of Dreams'"

The route to the barn takes you through winding country roads of Old Florida. When you pull into the property, it immediately delights the eyes as the barn is just perfect in the middle of a field that has huge oak trees. The ceremony was setup underneath one of the pieces of natures artwork of an oak tree. White chairs and wood benches were partially under to. As the sun was starting to set, the ceremony began. No matter where the photographers stood, there was an amazing shot. After the ceremony, the guests were guided to the cocktail hour on the opposite side of the gigantic barn. High tops were nicely decorated. Drinks and finger food was displayed on two long tables. My kids along with many others were enjoying the wood swing under another oak tree. The grass was just the right length to not mess up your attire. Guests were having a wonderful time taking photos of the landscape. Now the moment we were all waiting for, entrance into the barn was well-worth the wait. When you walk in, the barn opens up into wood ceilings with huge chandeliers that romantically create the mood for the event. At the back of the barn, on the wall was a white sheer curtain lit was tiny lights. In front of that was the bridal party's table. In the back right corner was the bar. The back left corner was the DJ. In the middle of the barn were big round tables and several long tables. Everyone was allowed to pick their seating family style. The restrooms were decorated and extremely clean. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive to the guests. (I do not know if the venue has its own staff or if they were brought in with a caterer.) It was a wedding from dreams and fairy tales. Everything was perfect from beginning to end. I wish I had taken more pictures of the venue but I spent so much time taking pictures of my family at the venue. Even if you are not needing a place to rent for an event, you might want to use this farm for a photo shoot. It is that good. You have got to checkout their Facebook page.

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.

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.
