I don’t even know where to start. I live in Massachusetts and had my mom go check out Mixon because it had great reviews online. After her rave reviews of the place, I booked it without even seeing it first! Sheri was SO great to work with, quick to communicate, and friendly even after I sent about a million emails over the course of my 18 month engagement. If you have not yet booked the Pavilion at Mixon Farms, DO IT! My guests were from all over the country, and they could not have been more pleased with the place. The pavilion is gorgeous and it is just the most unique venue. Cocktail hour at the gaming area….. I didn’t even realize there were blow up slides but boy were they a hit! The twinkle lights are fantastic. I even had a nice surprise- the week of my wedding they installed gorgeous chandeliers!!! Also… the donut bar… say no more. For our big day, it was 86 and sunny, and I was worried about it being hot. Between the cooling units we rented and the fans at the pavilion, we were totally fine!! I don’t even think I sweat. Sheri and Brandy were so flexible an on board with all of my ideas and truly helped to bring my vision to life. Brandy was our day of coordinator, and she was all hands on deck the whole time. She knows what she is doing. Brandy and Dennis (her assistant) took all of my crafts and decorations and set them up beautifully and followed my instructions for the whole day. I didn’t really know what to do with the sweetheart table, and Brandy and Dennis made it absolutely gorgeous and even arranged our leftover flowers on it! She made sure my bridal party and myself had beers throughout the photo process (we needed it after we had a church ceremony)! I had compliments from guests about how friendly and accommodating she was the whole night. I even have engaged friends who say they need their coordinators to be more like Brandy! If you want a unique and beautiful wedding that your guests will forever remember, look no further.

A wonderful venue for a wedding. I especially like their gazebo!
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.
