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.

Lorraine & Staff When I found The Garden Ballroom, I knew it was the venue for us. Both my new husband & I work a lot of hours, and didn’t have much time during the week to plan our wedding. We used their all inclusive package, it made planning a breeze. We found that Lorraine was very accommodating to us, as we had a few hiccups since we were planning from afar. We drove for two hours to do the important meetings in person, and a few on the phone. Day of the wedding, it was easy to kick back and trust the Garden Ballroom had it under control. If there was ever a problem, I had no idea. All my guests loved the venue and had wonderful things to say. We stayed at the Staybridge Suites around the corner, and it made it so easy! I cannot say enough nice things about both Lorraine, Alfredo, and the staff at The Garden Ballroom. Everyone we worked with was so kind and wonderful to speak with. My guests spoke highly of the venue and staff as well. The venue itself was beautiful and charming. There are so many options for decorations, Lorraine will be able to capture your vision. I scrolled through their Instagram, and sent them DM's when I liked something in particular. Be sure to follow them and watch their stories & posts if you book! You won't be disappointed booking at this venue. While the building itself doesn't have its own parking lot, there is ample parking nearby. None of my guests had a problem. Catering The Catering was good! We selected for the Italian Menu, as we knew it would be a crowd pleaser. During the tasting we provided some feedback, and it was resolved. Catering was also able to accommodate our vegetarian guests by making sure the meatballs were on the side; which was a big deal to us. I know not all catering companies will do alterations, so it was nice to have it. We also had a gluten free guest, and I was happy to hear that I could order her a special plate. She gave it a 10/10 too! The food was delicious and I was hearing compliments from everyone. DJ For our DJ, we had Carlos. We were not sure if any of our guests were going to get on the dance floor. So we told him to go with the flow. We also bought some LED foam light sticks. Carlos did a fantastic job! We had people up on the dance floor the whole time. My guests loved the music selection. Being able to share songs from a Spotify playlist made sending our song selections so easy.

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!

"I'm a witness of Life in its best moments" Hi, I'm Nacho! A professional Photographer seeking beauty and real life moments, I help nervous & shy couples relax and enjoy their day. 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!

Heyyy, I'm Amanda Mouw! I’m so glad you’re here! After a life-long love of photography, I began formal training more than 8 years ago as a way to capture better images of my children and travels. Soon after, Mouw Photography was born, where my love of weddings, family portraits, maternity and newborn photography grew into a specialty.

Awarded Best of Zola
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. If you're looking for a wedding photographer, and you read this review, just stop doing research; do yourself a favor and hire Amanda and her team! Great photographer, amazing person.

Our wedding at Bella Cosa was nothing short of magical — truly the day of our dreams brought to life in the most beautiful way. From the moment we arrived, we were swept away by the breathtaking landscaping, the meticulous attention to detail, and the exceptional team who made everything feel effortless. Every inch of the property felt like it was made for us, and the atmosphere was pure romance. But what truly set Bella Cosa apart — and what I’ll be forever grateful for — were Shelby and Lori. These two women were absolute angels throughout the entire planning process and on our big day. Attentive, compassionate, communicative, and endlessly kind, they became the rock I leaned on, the calm in the chaos, and the guiding hands that made everything come together perfectly. I genuinely can’t imagine our day without them. Shelby and Lori didn’t just help coordinate a wedding — they helped create memories that will live in our hearts forever.

We cannot say enough good things about Garry, Stacy and all of the Evoke team. Working with them was such a fun, smooth, and memorable experience. From day one, they made us feel so comfortable, had really creative and amazing shot ideas both for the engagement shoot (highly recommend) and the wedding, and had such a great presence throughout the entire day. They were our hype team, making us feel fabulous and supported on Wedding Day, and the most strategic team together. If there was an epic moment taking place, you can be sure the Evoke team was there capturing the shot! We could not recommend them enough for your wedding, they are worth every penny!
