We Had The Absolute Best Wedding of Our Lives on 11/22/25! Bakers Ranch isn’t just a venue—it’s where dreams become reality, and ours exceeded every expectation. From the very first planning call to the last dance, the entire process was seamless, stress-free, and downright magical. Our lead planners, Cheyenne and Maria, were incredible. They’re the perfect blend of professional expertise and genuine excitement—like having your most thoughtful friends guiding you through the beautiful chaos of wedding planning. Cheyenne went above and beyond for me: I had endless questions and late-night emails (so I wouldn’t forget a single detail!), and she always honored my thought process. She even scheduled extra time for our weekly meetings to make sure every part of my vision was heard and brought to life. Maria matched that energy perfectly—their partnership made everything feel effortless and joyful. The team’s collaboration with our vendors was flawless. We had a large 9-piece band, and they loved the setup and vibe just as much as our guests did. The catering partnership is truly special too—a small, family-owned business that made us feel like family. I’ll never forget the honor of having the caterer owner personally deliver our dinner to my husband and me during the reception. It was such a touching, personal touch. The day itself was perfection. Guests raved for weeks afterward—one even sent my parents a handwritten letter saying it was the best wedding they’d ever attended! The all-around vibe was warm, elegant, and unforgettable—everyone felt the love and care that went into every detail. I was that little girl who dreamt of her wedding day, and Bakers Ranch knocked it out of the park. I couldn’t have dreamt up the perfection that day was. If you’re that couple wanting the most fun, romantic, effortless wedding for both you and your guests, Bakers Ranch is the way to go—and ask for Cheyenne and Maria! If you’re looking for a venue that truly cares, delivers on every promise, and turns your vision into something extraordinary, Bakers Ranch is it. We couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you, Cheyenne, Maria, and the entire Bakers Ranch team—you made our day unforgettable! The Kaelin’s.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Chrissy, as our Day of Coordinator, and overall, the experience was positive. She was incredibly nice and helpful, especially when it came to managing last-minute details. Chrissy stepped in seamlessly to take over everything I spent a year planning and handling unexpected changes, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. However, one area of improvement would be the level of attention to some of our must-have moments. We would highly suggest requesting a second announcement for the cake cutting, as there was so much cake left over from a 4-tier cake and guests wanted to take some with them. Additionally, we felt that we didn’t get as much exposure or focus as we had hoped compared to other couples, other than a picture of the blank balcony, but Chrissy was still able to help. Despite these minor issues, Chrissy was professional, attentive, spunky, and genuinely committed to making our day special. We appreciate the effort and dedication put into the day of coordinating our wedding, especially since it was in the Panhandle.

Emma-Rose literally manages to be everywhere and captures every image and magical moment ... she'll stand on chairs, climb on rocks, go in the ocean - whatever is necessary to get that perfect shot. Along with her talent, she is so darn fun to be around and made taking photos really enjoyable even during our wedding reception.

While my background initially led me down a path in Financial Compliance, my true calling was always in the realm of art and creativity. I love every aspect of photography, from meeting you and capturing your happiest moments to the post-processing stage. I have been photographing families and new mothers primarily. However, I have discovered that I love photographing weddings just as much! I would love to capture your perfect moments that will be remembered forever.

Yuliya Fox Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the beginning, Yuliya contacted us before our ceremony to ask what pictures did we want taken and any special requests, which was very nice of her to introduce herself beforehand and let us know what to expect. Yuliya was very professional and kind, and her work reflects that. We had a beach wedding and it was very hot that day, but Yuliya and her crew acted as if it was just another comfortable day of awesome work. During the ceremony we never even noticed her, but she took the most amazing, detailed photos of us and our family, even our officiant! I would definitely recommend Yuliya to anyone who is looking for a skilled photographer. She made our memories of our wedding day that much more special.

So much so that we made sure our wedding venue/date coordinated with their calendar before booking it. I cannot express to you how incredibly lucky we feel to have had our pictures taken by them. Of course the way they softly edit photos while bringing the color and brightness to life won us over initially, but the communication, timely turn around, the way they made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, their helpfulness, dependency, organization, and genuine kindness, are just some of the many other reasons we would recommend them to everyone!

My hubby and I got engaged June of 2022 and had our dream venue booked not too long after. Our wedding day was 11/11/23. We had looked at a couple other venues in the area but wanted to use some place that our friends hadn’t used yet. I stumbled upon The Worthington while we were out to eat at AMOB with family, I booked a tour the next day. Once my husband and I were shown around the property, we immediately both knew we had found our dream venue. The entire team is super helpful. Our ceremony took place outside in front of the giant oak tree as a beautiful focal point AND the pond in the background. We were lucky enough to be the first couple to use the outdoor wall to separate our guests from seeing me before I walked down the aisle! Catlyn exceeded what we were thinking it was going to look like! Talk about being blown away. Our cocktail and reception area also looked amazing. Seeing every detail we had planned come to life because of these ladies and their hard work made us feel so taken care of. Whether you’re dealing with Angella, Catlyn or Lisa you’ll be in the absolute BEST hands! They're all so communicative, quick to reply and triple check everything is just as you want it. I would come back over and over again for the venue itself and the ladies in charge. You all made our night so perfect. Our guests all kept saying it was the best wedding they had been to.

Our store has been a pivotal part of the Sarasota floral community for two decades. Started by James Carlton and Arthur Faria in 2000, Tiger Lily was the fever dream and passion project of two artists. Today, our team aims to keep that dream alive by creating intricate, artistic designs for not only weddings, but everyday florals. We aim to make floral designs that reflect our history, and yours!

Tiger Lily was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, Petra and her team were fast, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive to all of our questions and requests. The quality of their work was nothing short of perfection - the floral arrangements they created were absolutely beautiful and breathtaking, exceeding our expectations in every way. Petra even stayed through our ceremony to quickly repurpose the altar flowers onto the reception tables, making the transition look effortless and flawless. We would definitely recommend working with Tropical Interiors Florist to any couple planning their wedding. They truly went above and beyond to make our special day even more perfect.

AnaFloral was absolutely incredible. We wanted a very colorful wedding with specific flowers in mind, and they patiently tweaked every quote and visual with us until it was absolute perfection. As two brides with similar but different tastes, they were so thoughtful in making sure each bouquet truly reflected each of us individually. That level of care meant everything. The trust we placed in AnaFloral was met and exceeded — they executed our vision exactly as we imagined. When we finally saw the florals, we were completely blown away by how breathtaking they were. All we could say was wow. If you are looking for florals that are intentional, vibrant, and beautifully executed, AnaFloral is the team to trust.

Alisa was one of the vendors I was most excited to work with on our wedding day, for so many reasons! She and Wayne made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable during the engagement session and we had SO much fun. The photos turned out INCREDIBLE and we got so many comments from friends that the photos were such high quality. On our wedding day, Alisa again brought the energy and expertise! She turned all our little details into gorgeous photos, made time for little moments throughout the day, and absolutely went above and beyond to help me and my family. She and Wayne are a dream to work with and I cannot recommend her enough!! We are so thankful to have had such a qualified, fun, and kind team. Thank you!!!

I haven’t hosted anything here myself, but I’ve seen what The Blessings Place offers and know the heart behind it. It’s a peaceful, faith-filled venue that feels like a hidden gem for those planning weddings, retreats, quinceañeras, or other special family gatherings. What really stands out is how intentional the space is. You can tell it was created not just for events, but for moments that matter—where love is celebrated, faith is honored, and families come together. I know Jim and Rosa personally, and they are people who genuinely care about others. That alone gives me full confidence in recommending this place to anyone looking for a meaningful and God-centered setting for their event.

Nailah from StackD Cake Studio was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding desserts. From our very first interaction, they were attentive, communicative, and cordial, making the entire process a breeze. The cakes and desserts she created for us were not only delicious, but truly amazing, creative, and over the top. Their attention to detail was evident in every aspect, from the flavors to the beautiful design. The final products exceeded our wildest expectations and were the talk of the reception, and when I say the talk I mean that our guests were literally wanting more! Specially the Guava Posset!!! We are so grateful to StackD Cake Studio for helping make our special day even more wonderful.
