  • Beautiful venue, but disappointing communication

    Verified review
    Allison W.Dec 18, 2024

    The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, and our wedding day will always be a cherished memory. However, I feel compelled to share my experience regarding the planning and coordination process, which fell short of expectations—especially given the significant time, effort, and money invested in this destination wedding. As a long-distance bride living in California, I relied heavily on the venue's planning team, trusting their expertise to help create a seamless day. Unfortunately, communication was sparse; over the course of an entire year, I had maybe three calls with the planners. Many details that were communicated and planned simply did not happen on the wedding day, which caused unnecessary stress for me and my family. On the morning of the wedding, instead of spending precious time with my bridal party, parts of my party and I were running around dealing with last-minute tasks. This included assembling items and addressing things that had been promised by the planning team but weren’t handled. My family and friends ended up doing far more than they should have—putting together pieces and helping out when they should have been enjoying the morning. I also was not given a walkthrough the morning of the wedding. I had to rely on a bridesman to show me the space via FaceTime, which was incredibly frustrating. There were also items in the space I had not approved, and signature drinks I had requested were not communicated to the bar staff. The seating chart was very disappointing; I had seen examples of gorgeous charts, but what was provided didn’t reflect what I wanted and didn’t even include the correct information. Additionally, I had explicitly stated that guests should only be assigned a table, not individual seats, but the team decided to assign seats anyway, going against my instructions. I also asked for guest envelopes to be left on the tables, which was not done as planned. There were also key issues the week of the wedding, including last-minute changes to where items like rugs could be laid out and inconsistent instructions about when and where we could drop off wedding items. This led to so much back-and-forth that it cut into time I wanted to spend with my family, who had traveled from afar. The lack of proper cleanup arrangements was another major disappointment. My mother ended up having to clean up after the wedding when she should have been able to go home and rest. We also had to take everything home that night, which was incredibly stressful, as I had been told we would be able to retrieve items the next day. Instead of enjoying the evening with my loved ones, I found myself worried about logistics and packing. I understand that unexpected challenges arise—for example, debris from a hurricane is completely understandable—but I wasn’t informed about this or other changes, like the addition of a new bar cart, until the day of. These lapses in communication were incredibly frustrating and avoidable. Brides and couples, especially those planning from a distance, deserve consistent updates and reassurances that their vision is being executed. I truly wanted this to be a stress-free experience for my loved ones and myself, but the lack of follow-through made that difficult. I hope the venue takes this feedback to heart because with better planning and communication, it truly has the ability to provide exceptional weddings.

    Thank you for taking the time to highlight your experience. Everything came together, and I hope the memories and beautiful photos capture the day and keep a placeholder in your mind as the day you married your best friend. It was terrific working with you, and I hope some of the moments where Lithia Acres went above and beyond stick out -- we went to the store for you because you forgot something or allowed you to ship items to my home during the planning process. The guests and vendors we met were thrilled with the day—wishing you all the best and will work on improving areas you mentioned.
  • Lithia Acres- A unique venue with a rustic charm

    My sister and I held our parents’ joint 80th birthday party this past October 2024 at Lithia Acres. We had about 70 guests, some who came from all over the world. This venue is absolutely breathtaking with its rustic charm and beautiful trees surrounding the property. There are so many things you will LOVE about holding an event here. Once you view the property and confirm your event date, the staff has an awesome online portal to keep you stress-free and organized with any vendors you hire; to answer daily questions you may have all the way down to how you want the tables and chairs organized. In addition, they give you the freedom to design your own party by either doing your own personal decorations or hiring a party planner. There is an amazing outside area for cocktail tables and even games for the kids along with a cozy firepit. The raves we received for the simple beauty of this venue were endless. Our vendors hired were top notch and would hire them again in a heartbeat- Adam Harris with Cater Tampa. He served steak, shrimp, veggies, salad and my personal favorite, a mashed potato bar. He also created beautiful charcuterie table. The cake was from Moreno Bakery. Our DJ was with Events Done Right. Our lovely bartender was with Hook Line and Drinker. Did I have a single issue with this party? NONE! Everything went perfectly, just as planned. Honestly, I cannot say enough about how incredible nice and helpful EVERYONE at Lithia Acres was from the first day we met through end of my parents’ party. I give my highest recommendations to Lithia Acres as a perfect and unique venue for any special occasion!

  • The dream wedding planned in less then 30 days

    My husband and I were in the ending stages of what we thought was supposed to be our dream wedding. The process of planning our wedding had been horrific to say the least. 27 days before our wedding day, we abruptly cancelled our previous venue. At 2 am, we found Lithia Acres. We reached out to inquire about pricing and if the date was available. Marianne was so quick to respond. She took us for a tour the very next day, and that same night, we made our deposit. Marianne and the team at the barn were so amazing. The beautiful barn was soooo gorgeous and was EVERYTHING we dreamed of for our wedding. TWENTY SEVEN DAYS !!! The team at Lithia Acres Barn made it happen!! Thank you for making our wedding unbelievably breathtaking, and unforgettable.

    This review for Lithia Acres is long overdue! There are so many emotions that come up when I think about this venue and the amazing people who made our day a dream come true. Marrianne, Angela, and Sandra are the 3 people you want by your side helping you plan your wedding day. There are not enough words to express our gratitude for these individuals. Their kindness, understanding, patience, and attention to detail is just a little of what they embody. They became our family! The venue itself is absolutely stunning, with beautiful natural landscaping and elegant indoor spaces that provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. From the moment we stepped onto the property, we knew it was where we wanted to celebrate our marriage. The team at Lithia Acres went above and beyond to ensure our wedding was everything we had imagined and more. We are so grateful to have found this hidden gem and cannot recommend it highly enough to any couple looking for the perfect wedding venue.
