Everything we Hoped for!

The ambiance of this venue is perfect for an outdoor wedding! We loved that we had separate areas for each part of the wedding but at one venue for convenience of us and our guests. The tunnel of love is so much fun!

Amazing!!!

The Pavillion at Mixon Farms is a beautiful venue! The pictures online don't do it any justice, go see it in person!!
We had an amazing experience with Alex & Jennifer. The professionalism, personality, and punctuality they had made it an easy experience for my dream wedding to come true. They really made me feel special, and didn't make me feel guilty for being a little selfish. They reminded every time we spoke that it was my day, and accommodated all of my wants.

Farmhouse Beauty

Mixon Farms was the venue we fell in love with, and though there were some major communication issues with them while they were going through a transition with staff, the day of came together and it was beautiful.

Mixon's In The Grove is one of the most lovely places to have a Florida wedding. The indoor/outdoor feel is so tropical and warm. Call them for a tour.
