Ever After Farms Citrus was the perfect venue for our wedding day. The communication from the staff was amazing - attentive, descriptive, and kept me feeling calm and prepared, especially when we were figuring out backup plans for potential rain. The modern barn has a beautiful spacious layout with indoor and outdoor areas that created the perfect backdrop. I loved working with the decorator who helped with all the little details - she had long black hair and such a sweet demeanor. Another standout was Desiree who helped ensure everything ran smoothly. At one point when I forgot my bouquet, someone raced to grab it so I didn't walk down the aisle empty handed! It's clear this team truly cares. Between the gorgeous venue and thoughtful staff, Ever After Farms Citrus really contributed to making our wedding day special.

My name is Mary and I own and operate Mary Marsh Media with the help of my amazing partner Wiresh. I grew up in a small town outside of Virginia Beach and moved to Central Florida in 2013. I have been shooting for the past 15 years and am so grateful to have had the support of my family, friends and clients. I am primarily a wedding photographer but I have a passion for capturing beauty in every form and I just LOVE love. Being chosen to capture the most precious moments is the biggest honor of my life and I know that I'm lucky to be one of the few people who absolutely loves what I do for a living.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the most magical elopement in the hills of Tennessee, at a local bird sanctuary, and it wouldn't have been the same without our incredible photographer, Mary! From the very first email, her communication was absolutely excellent. She was prompt, clear, and always happy to answer our (many!) questions. Planning an elopement or wedding can be stressful, but she made the process so smooth and easy. Beyond her amazing communication, her talent behind the camera is simply breathtaking. She perfectly captured the intimate and natural feel of our ceremony. The photos are stunning – the light, the composition, the way she captured the emotion of the day… everything was just perfect. Looking at them, we’re instantly transported back to that special moment. She has a true gift for capturing not just images, but the feeling and atmosphere of a place and time. She was also so flexible and adaptable on the day itself. The bird sanctuary provided a stunning backdrop, but also presented some unique challenges (like navigating uneven terrain and climbing a mountain while she had a broken foot!!!). She handled everything with grace and professionalism, and her positive energy was contagious. It felt like having a friend there with us, celebrating our special day. If you're looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly talented but also a joy to work with, look no further. We wholeheartedly recommend her for any wedding or elopement, especially if you're looking for someone who can capture the beauty of nature and the intimacy of your special moment. We will cherish these photos forever!

As a professional wedding planner, I've worked with numerous vendors over the years, but this mobile bartending service truly stands out. From our first interaction, their team was not only professional but also incredibly accommodating and passionate about their craft. The booking process was seamless, and they were very attentive to our specific needs and preferences. On the day of the event, they arrived early to set up, ensuring everything was perfect before the guests arrived. The bar setup was elegant and complemented our event's theme beautifully. Their bartenders were exceptional – skilled, friendly, and efficient. They crafted a diverse range of cocktails, catering to all tastes, and even offered creative mocktails for our non-drinking guests. Their attention to detail was evident in every drink they served, and many of our guests complimented the quality and presentation of the beverages. Moreover, they maintained a clean and organized bar area throughout the event, which is always a huge plus in a dynamic event environment. The team's ability to engage with guests and contribute to a lively and enjoyable atmosphere was remarkable. In summary, this mobile bartending service exceeded our expectations in every aspect – from professionalism and quality to the overall experience they provided.

First, I am a kind person. Then, a skilled seeker of unforgettable memories. I am the one who appreciates the smallest details. I am the witness of life in its best versions and the custodian of the fact that everything was real. This is me, Nacho! The fortunate stranger who today has the pleasure of saying that he captures love where others only see a simple wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hands down the best wedding decision we made was hiring Nacho - and my husband says it all the time! Nacho is incredibly talented at getting the perfect shots but his service is so much more than his photography. He seamlessly fits whatever role is needed in the moment - handling stressful family situations, helping navigate busy timelines, keeping things moving and bringing a genuine “good energy” to the day. He showed up as our photographer but ended the day as everyone’s favorite person. My 4 year old niece still asks about him every day! He leaves a lasting impression and his photos truly capture every moment and emotion that we all want to remember from our wedding days. (Side note: he is very talented at understanding lighting and I’m blown away at how well he captured the natural sunlight during golden hour.) I am beyond thankful that we hired Nacho and highly recommend him for any event or wedding. Extra: Our photography package included an engagement shoot. However, on the day of the shoot a hurricane came through Florida and we had to cancel so Nacho offered us a photo book after the wedding. And let me tell you, this photo book isn’t just any photo book. The quality is unlike anything I have seen. It truly is an heirloom-quality memory book with thick, archival cardstock pages. I highly encourage you to add on Nacho’s photo books if you can!

Amanda and Mallory are amazing people, and they helped us tremendously with not only the great photography, but also with navigating the demands of a wedding day. They even snuck us for 10 minutes away from everyone, which is hard to come by on that day. Now on to the photography, which is the reason we hired Amanda. The photos are stunning. She took such amazing photos with such great efficiency and made everything effortless and easy. She knew which photos we needed and made sure she got all of them. An example of Amanda's work and her attention to detail was when she moved locations during the "golden hour" shoot to take advantage of a beautiful cloud formation at sunset. We ended up in a cornfield feeling more beautiful than we ever have in our lives. It's one of the best memories we have of our wedding, honestly.

Leading up to our wedding, the planning process was seamless, and the staff was incredibly responsive to all our questions. They made everything so easy and stress-free. Our guests can't stop raving about how beautiful the venue was, and we couldn't agree more! The estate also offered lovely accommodations for us and some of our guests.

I highly recommend Kiersten to help with all of your sweet needs! My husband and I found Kiersten off of a Facebook promo post and from the moment we booked with her, she has been nothing shy of top-tiered service! You can tell that she pours her heart and soul into her cakes and desserts because, in the last few months, she has flourished in the details of her work! We booked her services almost one year ago for our wedding in Sept, but due to a tragic emergency surgery, the wedding had to be postponed very last- minute to December and Kiersten did not waiver in her gratitude towards my husband and I. Her effortless generosity meant a lot to us because, in a moment of stressful events, she brought light to us and did not hesitate to postpone her services back a few weeks. She offered a delightful selection of flavors, fillings, and options. We ordered a two-tiered wedding cake with all the fillings and different flavors, alongside a groom cake that we added at the last minute and both were very decadent and beautifully designed. On our wedding day, the cake was just as we had envisioned. We asked her to keep the wedding cake very sleek, simple, and plain because our florist would be decorating the cake in a very unique way. The intricate floral details and elegant design were absolutely stunning. We couldn't have asked for a better centerpiece for our reception. And the best part? The cake tasted just as good as it looked! I cannot recommend Kakes By Kiersten highly enough. She truly made our wedding experience sweeter and unforgettable. If you're looking for a wedding cake that combines artistry, flavor, and exceptional service, look no further! Thank you, Kiersten, for being a part of our special day!
