A Golden Experience!

Our daughter's wedding and reception was held at Golden Ocala and it was magnificent! Every aspect of the planning and event itself was handled with great attention to detail and executed beautifully. Georgina was a pleasure to work with and was very patient with my daughter's very specific request. Everyone raved about the food and they were great at accommodating the brides dietary restrictions. We also had the rehearsal dinner on the patio outside of The Griffin and it could not have been more perfect. We had a dream wedding weekend thanks in part to Golden Ocala and staff!

Excellent Experience

We had our wedding at Golden Ocala and it was a wonderful venue! They recently remodeled the clubhouse and it is very elegant, classy, stylish, and tasteful. It was such a relief to have food service included in the venue price and the food was incredible. Georgina is wonderful to work with, she is very organized and knows a lot about the wedding industry and event planning in general. If anything went wrong on the wedding day, I had no clue - everything was taken care of and perfect from my point of view. I would not hesitate to book this venue for a wedding or large event.
