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.Golden Ocala Golf & Equestrian Club's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words. You of both were so amazing to work with! My staff and I are so thankful to be a part of your very special day. I hope your life together is filled with a lot of love laughter and joy!
Lots of Love
Georgina Rarick
and your Golden Ocala Family!! -

The venue is timeless and has been beautifully renovated. You will have everything you need at Golden Ocala and more for the wedding of your dreams.

Above and beyond doesn't even begin to describe our wedding experience at Golden Ocala. I knew this would be the perfect place for our dream wedding from the pictures alone, but the relationships we formed with the staff and the royalty treatment we received was incredible. Georgie Rarick was our wedding coordinator and she made sure everything went perfectly. We were always in contact before the wedding, she tweaked and changed the final wedding contract for us so many times, and she made sure we were always relaxed and taken care of. She recommended a different salad dressing for us at the tasting that was superb and we went with her suggestions on everything since. She bustled our wedding dresses, she made sure we always had food and drinks, and she pulled us aside to have a heart to heart after the ceremony. Georgie was the absolute best and even though we live far away, I find myself wishing to get a club membership just to come back to the venue. When Georgie had to go, we were also very well taken care of by Ryan. Not only did they set everything up perfectly, they also helped tear down afterwards. They packed up extra food for us because they knew how much we loved the cooking, and as we left the gorgeous place, it was bittersweet. We were happy to finally be married after over 2 years of planning, but we found ourselves missing the venue and the wonderful people who worked tirelessly to give us the best experience we could receive. Thank you Golden Ocala. Thank you staff. We love you so much. Thank you for everything.

Allyson V. Sent on 06/07/2021AMAZING! You will not regret choosing Golden Ocala!
We got married here on Sunday, May 16th 2021. It was absolutely amazing!!! Not only is the venue absolutely breathtaking, but having Alisa help us coordinate everything made the whole experience so stress free. She has an air of professionalism where you know she will get things done and make sure your day is perfect. For example, we had a scary situation where the cake hadn't been delivered yet and turned out the vendor had the dates wrong. Well Alisa told us not to worry about it and she would handle it. When we walked into the ballroom for the reception our beautiful cake was there! Not sure how she did it, but she 100% saved the day for us! I'm convinced she has superpowers! Haha. Georgie, the banquet manager was also amazing! She was so attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. They really took care of us. They alone were worth the cost of the venue. I highly highly recommend checking this place out. We drove from Orlando to find this gem and it was by far the best venue we had seen and the best value! You won't find a more beautiful and elegant venue! We knew it was the one as soon as we visited. We knew our search was over. We are so glad we chose Golden Ocala. We are already looking for excuses to go back! Haha.Golden Ocala Golf & Equestrian Club's reply:
Thank you Allyson.
It was truly our pleasure! We wish you all the best things life has to offer always.
Congratulations!! -

I cannot say enough about how perfect our experience with Golden Ocala was! Upon seeing the venue for the first time, we were confident that it was where we wanted to get married, but the food and service by Alisa, Georgie, Rick, and their teams blew us out of the water. I would choose Golden Ocala as our venue 100x over. They truly made our wedding day the perfect day!Golden Ocala Golf & Equestrian Club's reply:
Thank you Molli,
It was our pleasure to make your day so special.The two families together are just beautiful. We wish you two all the best always.

AMAZING! You won't regret picking Golden Ocala!
We got married at Golden Ocala on Sunday, May 16th 2021. It was by far the best decision we made for our perfect day! Alisa Carlino was vital in making sure our day was perfect and everything went smoothly. She has an air of professionalism that let's you know she will get things done and make sure your day is perfect! We even had a scary situation where our cake hadn't been delivered yet and turned out the vendor somehow got the date wrong, but Alisa told us she would handle it and for us not to worry. And when we walked into the reception our beautiful cake was there! Not sure what magic she used to make that happen, but so glad we had her to count on! Georgie the banquet manager was also Awesome! She was so attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. It made for a completely stress free day. You can really tell all the staff there care about their jobs and want to make sure you have a great day. The service alone was worth the cost of the venue. But the grounds are also absolutely gorgeous! You won't find a more beautiful and elegant venue. We drove from Orlando to find this gem and it was by far the besr venue we had looked at and it was the best value too!! I could go on all day about how great this place is. The food was amazing, you can tell the chef really loves what he does. Oh and pro tip, if you do a Sunday wedding you can get the Raspberries restaurant space for free so the whole upstairs is private. It's 100% the reason why we went with a Sunday wedding. Having that beautiful space for the cocktail hour and for the whole reception too was great. I highly highly recommend you at least visit this venue. We knew as soon as we did that it was the one and our search was over. -

Kindel C. Sent on 12/13/2019A Fairy Tale Wedding thanks to GO
My wedding was flawless thanks to the staff at Golden Ocala! From start to finish it was done seamlessly and every detail was perfect. Alisa was there every step of the way, she also was great at reminding me when things were due and decisions were needed. Nikki who assisted Alisa was also phenomenal with helping especially the day of (like when I completely forgot to put my veil on before walking down the aisle, so she ran to the building we got ready in to go get it!) Chef Rick's food received endless compliments from my family and guest- our food tasting was extremely difficult because it was so hard to narrow down our choices, everything was delicious. Robert and his serving team were on point the whole night, if someone had an empty drink or plate they were there immediately there to remove and refill. I really cannot compliment the entire team enough, my wedding was an absolute fairy tale thanks to all of the staff at Golden Ocala! -

Hailey Sent on 12/16/2020Absolutely phenomenal!
I have wanted to get married at Golden Ocala Golf and Equestrian Club since I was a little girl, and it lived up to every expectation! Alisa and Georgie were so phenomenal and made sure every single detail matched our vision. We had to move our date twice due to COVID and they couldn’t have been more accommodating. The scenery is gorgeous but the service is what truly makes this place one of a kind! -

David Sent on 01/09/2020Fantastic all around
We recently had our wedding at Golden Ocala Golf and Equestrian Club in November 2019 and couldn’t be happier with everything about the day. Alisa was very helpful along the way and flexible to accommodate the ideas and decor we had in mind. The food was phenomenal and the service staff very polite and friendly. Many guests commented on how beautiful the location was, and our pictures turned out exceptional with the breathtaking landscapes and backgrounds. On top of being the perfect venue for what we envisioned for our wedding, it was a fantastic value, wrapping all the costs into one simple package. We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married in Central Florida. -

Noelle C. Sent on 09/16/2019All Inclusive and Stress Free!
Golden Ocala is the perfect place is you want an all inclusive wedding. They take care of the food, venue, rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, and don't over look any details. Any decorations you want on the reception tables or during cocktail hour you just tell them and they will set it up for you. That took off a lot of stress and it was amazing. The location is absolutely stunning and you have so many options to choose for you picture locations. Thank you so much Alisa and Niki for making our special day so stress free and amazing! Because of these two we could enjoy our wedding and being with family and friends! -
