Bakers Ranch is a team of informed wedding professionals who are experts in the unique art of weddings. Our wedding day felt like pure magic, and it is truly thanks to the incredible team at this wedding venue. Our guests were in awe of the space, and we received so many compliments regarding the décor, drinks, food, photographer and overall experience. My husband and I put a lot of time and research into finding the right wedding venue for us, and we walked away from our wedding day with a feeling of pride for our selection, and gratitude for the support we received. We looked at venues across three states. It was a little overwhelming and emotional, knowing that the venue would dictate so much of our time as an engaged couple and ultimately, our one wedding day. Bakers Ranch immediately stood out to us, it was an all-inclusive wedding venue that would eliminate some stress of planning. It had a gorgeous green backdrop of ancient oaks and rich foliage. It had Jeremy, a wedding planner that was calm, reassuring, honest and unlike any wedding professional we had met in our search. We booked the first available Saturday the following year almost immediately. I was also an extremely detail-oriented bride, straight down to the plates, the handmade table cards, and a personal note for each attendee. But it was all perfect. The decor, the flowers, the cocktails, the food, the week before, the day before, the day of, were all a dream. Everything that I communicated was heard. The vision that I had planned for was achieved. It was even better than what we could have imagined. We are extremely grateful to Baker’s Ranch for their incredible work.

She made sure we had a very firm plan in place for wedding day timeline, what my husband and I wanted captured, and if you allow her to have some freedom she will get some amazing shots you never thought of. So on the day of our wedding she seemed to be everywhere all at once and truly made me feel at ease because she had everything under control. Not only are her photos stunning but she is also super fun to be around! I’m can’t tell you how many guests told us afterwards, “Your photographer was awesome!!” That is super rare and she truly feels like a friend and delivers the most stunning photos. HIRE HER TODAY!!!!

This is us. We are Rachel and Xiwei. She’s old-fashioned. She likes quilting, folk music, and snuggling baby goats. He’s a modern man. He likes computers, technology, and watching action movies. Somehow we met and fell in love. I guess opposites do attract! Now we have three adorable children that we love spending time with, whether it’s fighting over who gets to play one of our 3 gaming consoles (how many consoles can a family have?!) or spending an afternoon outside at the beach we wouldn’t have it any other way. Modern tech doesn’t scare us, we’ve got cutting-edge cameras and equipment. But neither do time-honored traditions.

Hi everyone, I’m Carolin, originally from Würzburg, Germany, and now living in Bradenton, Florida. For over 11 years, I’ve been a professional photographer, specializing in weddings, couples, and families. My background in graphic design helps me focus on capturing beauty and detail to create lasting memories. In my free time, I love relaxing at Anna Maria Island’s beaches with my husband Philipp and starting my day with a Chai Latte from Starbucks. I’m also passionate about exploring new cultures and traveling. Can’t wait to get to know you!

We were looking for a photographer who would capture our special day in more than just photos. It was essential for us to have someone who could convey emotions and capture those natural moments. Let’s be honest—typical posed wedding photos aren’t something anyone looks back at later. With Carolin, we hit the jackpot! She is incredibly friendly and works professionally, delivering results that are amazing and worth every euro. We chose the full package with photos and a wedding film, and we couldn’t be happier with that decision. Our friends and family love the memories of our wonderful day, and the enthusiasm from our guests for Carolin has led to several bookings for more weddings and family photos—what better compliment could she receive? Everything went smoothly from the start. Whenever we had questions or felt uncertain, Carolin was always there to help and listen. Her self-created wedding planner was an incredible aid for our timeline. If you want unique memories of your wedding that are anything but ordinary, Carolin is the perfect choice. We are so grateful for everything and look forward to showing this wonderful video and these photos to our children one day. A heartfelt thank you to Carolin! To all future brides and grooms, you can’t go wrong by choosing her. Book her, and cross that off your to-do list!

We found Beth Joy Photography before we actually even picked a venue and wedding date because I knew I wanted her and her husband to take our wedding/engagement photos! 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! You truly won't be disappointed and I am sure you will love your pictures and experience with them just as much as we did!

Ashley is a very talented makeup artist. Everyone she worked on looked gorgeous, and the hairstylist was great too! She has such a good vibe. The only reason I am giving her 4 stars is because it was very stressful for me in the days leading up to the wedding due to some issues with the final count and contract. My advice for you is to be mindful of the number of services or bridesmaids you include in the contract, as you cannot remove them later. Also, before paying the deposit, make sure you are aware of all hidden fees and the total price, because the deposit is non-refundable. Other than that, we are very happy with the services.

Working with Kinspoke was one of the best decisions I made during my wedding!

I know nothing about flowers and Olivia was able to piece together exactly what I had in mind. Olivia did such an amazing job creating a mood board to allow me to preview some ideas and gave me tons of options to choose from. She was so easy and professional to work with as well! Looking back on my wedding photos, the bouquets are still one of my favorite aspects of the photos and I get tons of compliments on them! I highly recommend Kinspoke for any wedding floral needs!

Hi there! My name is Katie & I always seem to accidentally plan anything into an event of some kind and before I knew it people were asking me to do it for them for almost every life occasion they had. I genuinely enjoy planning/coordinating anything wether it’s a wedding, birthday party, baby shower, bridal shower, etc. I have great communication skills, especially with other vendors, which is important for every detail to be captured/ displayed on the day of your event.

Even though I knew about my birthday party, and I chose the theme, I was absolutely thrilled and surprised by the how awesome the entire venue looked when I walked in. Katie designed my invitations, cake, decorations, helped select the food for the guests and even coordinated a live band. Friends said afterwards that my birthday party was the event of the year!!!!

With over 13 years of experience in live TV production, I founded Mondo Productions to specialize in the art of wedding filmmaking. Our mission is to create captivating narratives that immortalize the love stories of our clients, ensuring that their special moments are cherished for generations.

Words can not explain how pleased my husband and I were with Eddie throughout the whole process of booking a videographer for our big day! Not only did he go above and beyond with details and planning but he executed such a sweet and fun wedding video for us! We had a crazy ending to our night that left us feeling a bit down. Eddie brought our spirits right back up when he surprised us with our sneak peak video within days after and send the whole video maybe a week or two later! His eye for detail is superb! He comes from a production back ground so it’s not just a typical wedding video. It’s more editorial almost like a music video. I highly recommend him for your next big event!

Nailah Browne, a native of St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, first became interested in baking from her grandmother, who had a side business. Browne later completed the bakery program at Manatee Technical College. Browne and Selene Martinez met and became friends at IMG Academy, where Browne was the head baker and that's how StackD Cake Studio was born. At Stack’d Cake Studio, the customer directs how they want their cake built, from cake and size, to flavor of buttercream, filling and toppings.

StackD Cake Studio did an amazing job with our wedding cake! We communicated mostly over email and text, and they were very responsive and easy to work with. The cake itself was simply beautiful - elegant, delicous, and moist without being too sweet. Our guests raved over the flavors and many went back for seconds. The design matched our vision perfectly and was the perfect centerpiece for our dessert table. We couldn't have asked for a better cake on our special day. StackD's professionalism, attention to detail, and superb execution really made our wedding celebration that much more memorable. We enthusiastically recommend their services for any couple's special event!

Powel Crosley Estate

Sarasota, FL
  • Venue
  • Up to 800 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $4,500

Powel Crosley built the Florida winter home for his wife, Gwendolyn, in 1929. The two-and-a-half-story Mediterranean mansion was built in the southwest corner of Bradenton on a 60-acre parcel of land on Sarasota Bay adjacent to the John Ringling Estate. The 11,000-square-foot home has 21 rooms and 10 baths, and an adjacent carriage house has room for three cars and servants' quarters on the second floor. Originally the mansion had a swimming pool, a seaplane dock and yacht basin. The home featured many innovations for its time, including a steel frame encased in cast stone, embedded pipes and wiring, and a 135-day construction schedule. Placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, Seagate was saved from commercial development and purchased for renovation by Manatee County, which operates it as a meeting, conference and event venue.

I really am speechless when it comes to the Powel Crosley. I am so incredibly thankful we hosted our destination wedding here with them. I wish I wouldve taken more time on my special day to really marvel at all of the estate. There is so much beauty every which way you turn! The staff was so helpful from the moment we booked with them and on the wedding day. Looking back at our photos, I know this was worth every single penny. Book the lawn, your pictures will be outstanding.

Picking up my camera to capture the beauty was one way that I fell in love with photography. My heart loves capturing the true story of your love and wants to document it as accurately as I can. If that means wind blowing your hair in your face and some mud on your dress, then I am here for it. I love being able to have a blast with my couples and show them all of the beauty this world has to offer.

Tiffany and Patrick are truly the sweetest and most kind couple to work with. Attentive, answered every question I had and every one I didn’t know I had. We used them for our engagement photos as well and we had a blast! Giggling, laughing, sweating…made for such a fun August day that made me so eager for what was to come. They made us feel comfortable and safe, truly being able to trust them with documenting such an important day in our lives. Loved that she got so many photos of our family and friends that I’m able to pass on to them to enjoy in addition to the plethora of breathtaking, smile-inducing, tear-jerking photos of us that I cannot wait to get an album put together of and canvases printed for our living room. They were so fun, took all my inspiration Pinterest photos into consideration, some worked and some didn’t, but we made that choice together which is what I appreciated big time. Even with the rain surprising us on our day, Tiffany & Patrick treated it the same as if we had sunny gorgeous weather. Still gave us gorgeous photos. Treated us like we were on top of the world and deserved all the day’s happiness and love. Cannot recommend them enough :)
