Could have never done it without them
When planning a wedding, in June, in FLORIDA, there are a lot of variables. But once we found this gem nestled away in the heart of Bradenton FL, we were sold. Theresa was our first contact, and neither Kathy or I could understand how one person can be so uplifting and happy all the time (especially when planning weddings). The venue spoke for itself with expansive gardens and a Huge pavilion with an adjacent gazebo situated on a magnificent Koi pond stocked with huge fish, waterfalls, and overlook platforms.

The Pavilion had private rooms decorated for the bride and groom, and the entire expanse was decorated with thousands of twinkling lights. It was truly magic!
When planning the wedding, we chose to have Theresa and Brandy be our wedding planners. A couple of weeks before the event, they stepped in to take control of the ceremony and reception and relieve us of our duties. They had it all down... From the bar, to the linens, to the timings, the decor, and all the minute details. What a stress reliever! So not only did they take care of the venue.... But also handled our vendors with an unmatched efficiency. True professionals at heart.
Even as I and the Best Man were putting on our tuxedo's only to find the legs were not hemmed up... Brandi rushed in with pins to save the day.
There are venues... Plain places with some scenery. They there is the Pavilion at Mixon Farms... A perfect place, with the perfect ambiance, and a wedding planning team IN HOUSE to make sure everything goes perfectly. Can't do better than this!

Wonderful, Amazing, Beautiful!
My wedding coordinator, Brandy, honestly became my best friend while we were setting up for the wedding. She was my hero when I forgot something, and was super helpful when I felt nervous or stressed out. The Pavilion at Mixon Farms is a beautiful venue, with an amazing staff that really does become part of your family.

A Dream Come True
The staff at The Pavillion at Mixon Farms is second to none. They truly made our wedding day a dream come true. From set up to break down they were there every step of the way transforming the space to exactly what we had envisioned! I cannot express my appreciation enough for all they have done, especially when my dad decided at last minute to extend the party an extra hour. Jen, Emily, and Theresa, I cannot begin to thank you all enough for a night we will forever remember! I cant wait to send you pictures!

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.
