Thomas & Baylie Schiavone Micro Wedding
We had researched quite a few venues before we came across Southern Hills that had not so great rates and none too many for the size we wanted. When we learned of the Micro Wedding option here, we knew we had the right place. Just our family and close friends for a few hours was what we wanted. Ms Fran was an incredible help all the way through from Start to Finish. Ms Kim was also wonderful helping with our desired layout of the venue and helping us stay organized. On the day of the actual ceremony everyone went above and beyond for us. All of the staff did great to keep things on time and were there when needed. The food selection was delicious even the options we tried but didn't choose. Our favorites was the Stuffed Chicken Florentine and Scalloped Potatoes overall. Cooked beautifully all with decent portion sizes and we were given some to go which was so sweet. It was a great time and we'll hold the memories forever. Thank you all at Southern Hills for hosting our special time to become one family! - The Newlyweds Thomas and Baylie Schiavone -

My son's wedding 3/21/26
The wedding was incredible. Everyone had a fantastic time. From planning the wedding to the food tasting to discussing every detail, they were extremely accommodating. The outdoor ceremony was amazing. We had perfect weather and we had a horse drawn carriage which was incredible. It brought tears to my son's eyes as well as everyone else's when his lovely bride rode in the carriage and her father was waiting for her to walk up the aisle. Every detail from start to finish was meticulously planned out by the bride and her mother and discussed and carried out by the fantastic staff at Southern Hills. In addition, I hosted the rehearsal dinner at Southern Hills Plantation the night before the wedding. All of the food, both at the rehearsal dinner (which was a buffet) to the wedding itself which was a sit-down dinner was excellent. I highly recommend Southern Hills Plantation for weddings. It is an extremely good value for everything that is included in the ultimate wedding package which includes the ceremony, a dj, up lighting, the photographers, an officiant, a cake allowance as well as a floral allowance. The staff bent over backwards and the service was exemplary.
I want to thank the staff for all of their hard work for this beautiful wedding. These memories will last my son and my daughter-in-law a lifetime.-

The Perfect Evening at Southern Hills!
Hosting our engagement party at Southern Hills Country Club was an absolute dream come true. From the moment we arrived, we were taken in by the breathtaking beauty of the venue — the views alone are simply stunning, with rolling hills and a timeless elegance that made every photo look like it belonged in a magazine.
The staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail was flawless. They were warm, attentive, and impressively professional, anticipating our needs before we even had to ask. It truly felt like we were in the hands of a world-class hospitality team who cared as much about our celebration as we did.
The food was another highlight — beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Each course was crafted with care and sophistication, and our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the quality and flavor.
Southern Hills Country Club provided the perfect setting for such a special moment in our lives. It’s not just a venue — it’s an experience filled with grace, beauty, and exceptional service. I can’t imagine a more perfect place to celebrate love and new beginnings. -

The best day of our lives
Frances and Kim were amazing and made sure I didn't forget any small details. All my friends and family were amazed at how extravagant my wedding was. I couldn't have asked for a better venue. The villas were the perfect addition to an already magical day. I will be recommending southernhill to everyone forever. Thank you for being the best choice I've ever made (other then Dillon).-

Breathtaking Experience - The Wedding of our Dreams
From the moment we began planning our wedding to the final, breathtaking moments of our big day, Southern Hills Plantation Club—and the extraordinary team behind it—exceeded every expectation we ever had. We could not have imagined a more perfect venue, nor could we have dreamed of a more dedicated, passionate, and skilled group of individuals who brought our vision to life.
Frances Hamlett, our wedding coordinator, is truly second to none. Her attention to detail, her thoughtfulness, her dedication to her craft, and her reassuring presence made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. She wasn’t just a coordinator; she was a steady, guiding force—ensuring that everything was executed flawlessly while giving us the confidence that our day would be nothing short of extraordinary. The way she cared for us, prioritized even the smallest details, and delivered beyond all expectations is something we will cherish forever. Frances turned our wedding dreams into reality and made sure every moment was filled with joy, love, and pure magic.
And Kim—there are hardly words to describe the absolute powerhouse that she is. She is a force of nature, a perfectionist in the best way, and an unwavering presence from dawn until dusk (though, truthfully, we don’t think she even sleeps!). Every decoration, every setup, every single request was met with precision, dedication, and an unmatched level of care. Her tireless efforts ensured that every last detail was perfect, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty and joy of our wedding day. She is not only an invaluable asset but also an absolute pleasure to work with, and we are beyond grateful to have had her by our side.
Choosing Southern Hills Plantation Club as our wedding venue was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. It provided the most picturesque backdrop, the most attentive team, and the most seamless execution from planning to celebration. We have zero regrets—only boundless gratitude. If we could do it all over again, we wouldn’t change a single thing. Thank you, Frances, Kim, and the entire Southern Hills team, for making our day not just beautiful, but truly unforgettable. -

Unforgettable wedding reception!
We are very happy we found Southern Hills Plantation for our wedding reception. We met with Frances and after touring the clubhouse we fell in love with the atmosphere and beauty of this place. Frances and her team worked great with our personal wedding planner Lucia and we couldn't be happier. We chose the ultimate package and had our wedding planner coordinate with Frances so our special day went smooth and without a hitch. We want to thank Frances, Kim, and many more staff for really doing a phenomenal job and making this reception truly unforgettable. Everybody commented on how great the plated dinner was and how great the staff was serving. We also chose an open bar and many guest commented on how great the bartender made the drinks. Overall, the perfect day for us and we really appreciate everybody at Southern Hills Plantation.
Thank you,
Mari and Phil-

Hadley Wedding 5/11/2024
It all started with meeting Frances Hamlett when we first started to plan our wedding. The team made every step of planning simple and easy. When our actual wedding day came, Fran, Irena, Kim & Jenna did a fantastic job of helping our day be as perfect as possible. Also, we had taken advantage of the onsite villas and Ashley and her team accommodated all of our families needs.
Can’t thanks the entire Southern Hills team enough for making our wedding event the best ever with top notch service! Highly recommend!
Sincerely,
Bill & Sharon Hadley -

Exceeded Very High Expectations
I have really high expectations, which unfortunately leaves me disappointed quite a bit. But, our wedding at Southern Hills Plantation Club exceeded my very high expectations! In the months leading to the wedding day, Fran (director of food, beverage, and events) was very quick to respond to every email and was amenable to setting up multiple in-person meetings to go over our questions and reassure us that everything would be great. It's obvious she has years of knowledge and expertise under her belt by her suggestions and explanations of what we could expect on our big day. On the wedding day, Fran was such a comfort. She calmly directed the events of the day and made sure things were running smoothly. The other integral person was the banquet manager Kim, who has a precise and meticulous eye for detail. The day of our tasting, Kim was very patient and showed us different options for napkin folds, knowing the decor and the overall atmosphere were very important to us. On the wedding day, we have never seen the main dining room look more beautiful! Kim and her team did an amazing job! The table setting, glasses, napkins, favor boxes, and candles were all perfectly placed on the tables. Each table looked so elegant, and the room as a whole, made a true statement. Kim has a wealth of knowledge and expertise when it comes to managing large events, but she also has the biggest heart and truly puts the couple' happiness at the center of everything. It rained on our wedding day so we brought in a 30x60 tent. Kim rearranged the chairs from their usual format to look better due to a tent pole placement. Kim also carried my train so it wouldn't drag on the wet ground. She got soaking wet and hunched over to try to be as inconspicuous as possible, which probably hurt her back. But, Kim is selfless and will do whatever it takes to make sure the couple is happy. And, then there was the food! We didn't eat much at the wedding because all our guests kept coming to our table to congratulate us, but Kim packed up to-go boxes and we ate when we got home. We thought everything tasted delicious, and our guests have confirmed that--we keep hearing how wonderful the food was. Our wedding day was a truly perfect day, and so much of that is owed to the amazing staff at Southern Hills and the heart they put into planning events. I can't thank them enough and would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a beautiful venue with an exceptional staff.-

Perfection in every way.
We wanted a venue that was elegant and comfortable for our micro wedding. Southern Hills was perfect. They reserved us a private room with an adjacent balcony for our service. Because we had a small crowd and no wedding planner, the staff worked with through emails and visits to plan the perfect day. It seems everything we requested was accommodated without being nickeled and dined for every little item. We couldn’t have been more pleased and our guests wouldn’t stop raving about how beautiful and relaxed the venue was. The staff was phenomenal, the food perfect and the atmosphere idyllic. Wouldn’t hesitate for a minute to use them again for a private party. -

We looked at reviews
Southern Hills is beautiful! Fran, the wedding coordinator was so helpful and was there the entire day making sure everything was perfect. The food was amazing, and they worked with all our vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page. The staff, especially Kim, were so involved in decorating everything exactly the way my daughter wanted it. Kim gave us ideas and even set up the venue a few weeks before so we could see what it would look like. They made the day perfect! So happy with our decision!!!! Thank you to all! -

Beautiful venue & AMAZING staff!
The team at Southern Hills was amazing. They truly made my vision come to life and took the time to sit down with us multiple times to go over everything. Not to mention that the package they offer for weddings is such a great deal with the vendors included...it took loads of stress off of me because I didn't have to go searching for reliable vendors. The staff also has a lot of experience with weddings, so they helped us navigate some of the more difficult decisions. The food is phenomenal and the views are spectacular, which resulted in some beautiful photos that we will cherish forever. There are also villas on site for getting ready, so I highly recommend renting those out for the bridal party and maybe some guests for a convenient spot to get ready/stay the night. I originally was not a fan of the layout inside, but it turned out to be PERFECT. The dance floor is in a separate area and allowed a lot of our older guests to continue their conversations at their table without being drowned out by the music. Special shoutout to all the work Frances and Kimberly did throughout our planning process...I was truly stress-free on my wedding day! I may be biased, but this was the best wedding I have ever been too ;)-

Breathtaking Wedding Experience
Southern Hills Plantation Club exceeded my daughter and son in laws Wedding Day expectations. As soon as they viewed the grounds where their outdoor ceremony would be overlooking the breathtaking golf course and grounds they knew this was their venue. Fran the coordinator at the venue made this experience seem flawless, she is not only personable but her experience and expertise were outstanding! Could not ask for better management and guidance. I never felt the need for a wedding planner as she was there every step of the way with her knowledge and guidance. The grounds are just spectacular, so well groomed. I defintely suggest the preferred vendor option as the vendors were fabulous and so easy to work with. We rented a villa which was lovely., but also there is a locker room downstairs that is just beautiful with a sitting area and plenty of room for a large wedding party to get ready. We utilized both the ladies and mens locker rooms with wedding party and family that traveled a great distance as the villa was used by the bride and her girls. I really feel the front porch was one of my favorite areas, as the brick and white columns gave the photographer such a nice area to photograph, now I understand why they did so many photos there. This day was so special and forever memorable. We will defintely be using this venue for future family events and dinners, all of the staff from her team leader Kim, not only a fabulous server but the organization and work she put into making sure the room looked beautiful was so appreciated, along with the other servers and the bartender, kitchen staff, just an amazing team effort done by all. Our family is forever grateful to Southern Hills event staff, very well done! Beautiful venue, beautiful people, you can not ask for more....... -

The Best Wedding We Could Have Asked For!
Southern Hills made our wedding the perfect day! From start to finish, Fran and her staff broke the process down into easy steps that took away the big burden that everyone fears when they begin planning. Fran has a robust list of trusted vendors to work with that includes everything you will need, which eliminates all the guesswork. This was particularly helpful for us as we had a destination wedding and did not have a great pulse on the local wedding vendors (florists, DJ, etc). Planning our wedding couldn't have been easier and the team at Southern Hills made it very smooth.
The property itself is stunning. Southern Hills sits nestled back into a private community that features an incredible golf course, country club, and much more. Additionally, there are multiple rooms available right next door to the venue itself, making it very easy for the wedding party the day of. The property is set up perfect for weddings, and Fran did such a good job making minor adjustments to ensure our day was special for us.
Lastly, I can't say enough about the staff. Everyone went above and beyond to ensure our day was special. The whole staff couldn't be nicer and all of our guests were treated so well and had such a great time.
If you are looking to book a wedding near Tampa, I would strongly recommend taking a short drive to Southern Hills to see the property and speak with Fran about what your vision is. You'll be glad you did! -

Perfect Wedding Day!
First let me start off by saying Fran and her crew were great! She was very responsive to my emails and answered every question that I had, even giving suggestions and advice when I needed it. The price for our wedding also included the vendors which was a plus and made it a lot easier since everything was in house. The only vendors that we had to search for was a videographer and decorator. Last minute we had quite a few people rsvp which changed our table situation, but we were accommodated with no problem and everyone had a great time. Pastor Dell Barnes officiated our wedding and he was AMAZING! Even gave us a surprise during the reception! The ceremony was outside and was beautiful. I brought a lot of diy items from home that the crew set up for me with no problem. For the reception the food was DELICIOUS! I only got a few bites in but everyone kept complimenting it, and did not hesitate to go for seconds! The only complaint is it ended too early! Our guest had such a great time and didn’t want to leave! Travis was our Dj and kept people dancing all night! I would 1000% recommend this venue!-

Absolutely Perfect Venue
Fran and her staff at southern hills went above and beyond what could have been expected. They were so accommodating and helpful in anything we needed and were prompt at answering any questions we had throughout our process. The food was incredible and the vendors we could choose from all flowed so seamlessly. Not to mention the views were gorgeous. Also the villas on-site were such a great addition and definitely made getting ready a breeze for the bridal party. Our wedding weekend was beautiful and perfect in every way. 100% recommend this venue to any bride.-

A dream come true
We got married on 2/12/22 and it was the most beautiful day! I felt little to no stress with having our day at Southern Hills. Their all inclusive deal is a dream come true with the BEST food, dj, florist and coordinator a bride could ask for. Everyone who attended won’t stop telling us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been too. Everything was truly perfect and we couldn’t recommend them more! -

Amazing and Stressfree
Everyone knows your wedding day is one of the most stressful days there is. Fran made the day and the whole planning experience a breeze. She is very flexible and so patient with any changes or questions that I had. The staff at Southern Hills were top notch and very attentive to any needs that we had. My guests just raved about the food on how delicious it was, and the bartenders Nick and Irena were always on point with the drinks. I would recommend Southern Hills to anyone I know who is planning a wedding. -

Wonderful Experience - Above and Beyond!
My husband and I can't say enough amazing things about Southern Hills! The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking. The atmosphere is so relaxing and peaceful which was perfect for our small intimate ceremony. The staff went above and beyond to make sure our day was extra special. They were so accommodating with all of our requests from last-minute dietary restrictions to special seating arrangements. They went out of their way to make sure all of our needs were met and the day went on without a hitch. Thank you to Fran, Joey, their amazing chef, and staff for all of your time and efforts. Our experience was just phenomenal and we honestly wish we could do it all over again at Southern Hills! You guys are the best!

Amazing help- in a stressful time
So my orginal wedding date was on 3.21.20- The country shut down due to covid on 3.16. Without the help of Frances- the food and bervage manger at Southern Hills- I do not think i would be sane today. She helpped me move everything- not just our reservation with her- but with all of our vendors- not once but TWICE. With no extra fees and nothing but positive things to say and help- Frances made my wedding dreams a reality. Her and her team were able to help set up all my DIY decorations, keep everyone on track- and she quickly replied to ALL my questions via email- whether it was 11am or 11pm. If you are looking for a stress free- easy all inclusive place- I would suggest this place 1000000%.-

Southern Hills Plantation
Southern hills was a beautiful spot for our wedding ! I pride myself on being a COVID bride , our original wedding was canceled due to government shut down ;however, Fran did her best to make sure that we were prepared for our special day . The wedding was flawless . Fran and her staff were so accommodating , and everything flowed naturally . I couldn’t ask for better a venue /vendors . The venue provided the linen along with a gorgeous space for the ceremony and reception . We only had to coordinate a DJ , photographer , and flowers ! And once we had them , there were no communication lapses between then and the venue . The perfect space for a perfect day 🙂 -

Stress Free Wedding Day
I had my wedding here in October and it was absolutely beautiful. They took care of everything and made sure that I did not have to worry about anything but enjoying my day with my new husband. They were professional, kind, and made anything that I wanted work. Fran and Joey are both amazing. Thank you so much for helping make our day special :) -

Southern Hills Plantation Club is FABULOUS!!!
Frances Hamlett and her team @ Southern Hills went above and beyond to make our son's Wedding incredible from start to finish! Frances is the coordinator there, and she is very thorough and answers any questions along the way through the planning process. Also, their pricing is very reasonable for what you get in the package, and they are flexible with adding or removing certain things too. When I was stressed out about things, Frances was such a calming presence. They got everything done in plenty of time and it was more than I asked for or expected, and it turned out so beautifully. Our guests all talked about how good the food was, and that it was one of the prettiest weddings and backgrounds that they have ever been to for a wedding. We chose to rent the nice condos on site for convenience, and that was a great idea too, as the hair and makeup was done for the bride's girls right there, and it is only steps away from the Venue. The staff @ Southern Hills was so professional and accommodating, and I would recommend them to anyone in a minute! The sunsets are amazing there along the hilly backdrop, and it makes for stunning pictures as well!
Thank you Frances and the whole team at Southern Hills for making my son's Wedding a day to remember!!! -

Mr. & Mrs. David Cook Wedding
OMG amazing! Event Manager Frances was so amazing to work with from food tasting, floor plans ( actually pushing tables & chairs with me to ensure the best workable plan prior to my event. My initial wedding date had to be cancelled approximately 3.5 weeks prior because my husband had to have an unexpected surgery . She did not skip a beat to ensure me not to worry in regard to rescheduling at no additional charges. So, my husband was admitted to the hospital the day prior to our final date. The day of the wedding we did not find out that he would not be discharged until the day after our wedding. At that point everything was so fluid. Frances was nearly in tears with me and began brainstorming with me for the best solution to make this wedding a 'go' inspire of. So the pastor and I went to the hospital and he married us there. Then then we returned to the venue for our ceremony as planned. My son escorted me and I read my personal vows that I had written and read to him in the hospital. Our guest shared how beautiful and touching the ceremony. And OMG again, ALL the guest raven about the food. Southern Hill must have the absolute best chef in America. The venue was awesome, they were professional and personally involved. I had a 10 ++ experience. Highly recommend this venue, manager & staff . The price was well worth it.-

The Perfect Destination and Service
Fran and Southern Hills Team,
Our wedding day went off beautifully without the slightest issue, down to the littlest of details. The venue itself is stunning. The golf course is perfectly manicured- (that is coming from my husband who plays golf in every single city we travel to). It was a dream come true. I know it wouldn’t have been possible without you and your team at Southern Hills. The service from your team was exceptional. You answered every single one of my 100’s of questions (seriously) and were by far the most flexible venue from the many we had reviewed. Thank you for going above and beyond and making our day magical! We will absolutely never forget you and your hospitality.
Lindsay and Brad-

Amazing Venue!
This is a DREAM venue, it’s gorgeous inside and out. Frances was the best - from start to finish, she was always super quick to respond and answer all of my questions (I usually had a lot, lol). The day of the wedding, both her and Joey were so great to work with. Guests commented on how beautiful the venue is, how great the food was, and how smooth & organized everything went. We are SO glad we found this “hidden gem” for our big day. -

A hidden Gem
I could not have asked for a better venue! It took me months to find the perfect spot to have my wedding. I fell in love with it the first time I laid eyes on Southern Hills. The staff was amazing they made sure all of my wishes became a reality. Francis, Joey and Nick are truly a dream team. Everything was perfect from our ceremony to our reception and everything in between. I have been to many weddings where the menu was limited and the food wasn't great but at Southern Hills the food was 5 star, and they were beyond accommodating with dietary restrictions and food allergies which made not only me but my guests feel at ease. -

We got the package where they have a list of approved vendors, which were truly all great ones. The food was delicious and all my guests loved it. The view at sunset is perfect. It was the perfect place for everything I wanted and needed. Fran the coordinator works with you and the vendors to make your day perfect. It’s a gem in Hernando county. -

Best Day of My Life
We absolutely loved working with Fran, Joey, and Will at Southern Hills Plantation Club for our wedding. My family purchased the ultimate wedding package and it was so easy to choose from high quality vendors. The team went above and beyond to help us with the food tastings and the decor we envisioned. Our wedding was so beautiful and so much fun. The decor, food, drinks, music, service, and time management were all amazing and just as expected thanks to their awesome team and vendors. I even witnessed a server helping out with a guest's infant so the mom could eat her meal. My elderly family members said they got the royal treatment when they were assisted getting their meals from the buffet line. This team goes above and beyond and we are so glad we chose Southern Hills Plantation Club for our wedding day. We highly recommend this special place for any event! -

What an amazing experience
We had our wedding there on 9/19/19 and it was simply amazing! Communication with Frances and Joey were great! They always were professional and soooo accommodating. I was simply amazed how much love we felt from the staff before the event and after. I truly felt like a VIP through the whole time not just the day of the wedding. I truly regret having a day of coordinator who actually was almost I a way of this professional team. If you get to talk to Frances you will know that she LOVES what she does and she is amazing at it! She knows the venue, she knows the process and pays attention to every little detail! I feel like giving her a hug every time I think of her :) You have to at least visit this place! I didn't want to have a wedding on a golf course etc but when we saw it we simply had our breath taken away! Plus we were so grateful of being able to rent near buy condo's to get ready at and for family to stay in. They were amazing! -

A fairytale wedding
From the moment we drove onto the picturesque property of Southern Hills Plantation we knew it would be the perfect place for our daughter's wedding day. After meeting Fran, we sealed the deal! She was amazing to work with during the planning process and promptly answered our countless emails and phone calls with her calm, reassuring voice. Our daughter and (now) husband chose the Ultimate Wedding Package and every detail came together seamlessly. The chef at Southern Hills takes great pride in his culinary skills and our guests were raving about he food for days to follow. We highly recommend everything he prepared, especially the truffle wild mushroom risotto.
If you are looking for a stunning backdrop of rolling hills and a fairytale wedding come true then we highly recommend Fran and her amazing team at Southern Hills Plantation.
To have our daughter and son-in-law express that everything was perfect and they would not have changed one thing makes for happy parents!

Phenomenal
The venue is absolutely breathtaking! I am so excited to get my photos back because the sunset was beautiful! The venue also offers many different areas that the guests can choose from to relax and enjoy the night. Many of our guests sat out on the veranda and enjoyed the cool air and sunset, and some enjoyed dancing the night away.
You can tell that the entire staff enjoy their jobs! The chef made delicious food that had everyone raving. He even made our cake and hit it out of the park! He really went above and beyond in every aspect; he packed us a to-go dinner in case we didn’t get enough to eat.
Francis and Joey were hard working, positive, and calming. They were extremely organized and willing to help in any way. My table setting were incorrectly set up by the wedding decorator and they went out of their way to fix them before any guests arrived!
We also rented the villa next door which made getting ready super easy and relaxing. It was decorated beautifully and was very clean. It was so convenient to leave the wedding, take a short walk through the parking lot, and crash!
It is without reservation that I recommend southern hills for any wedding or party! You will not be disappointed!!!!! -

Perfection
Where do I even begin..?
My (now) husband actually found the venue, I told him no beaches or barns and he came across the Sputhern Hills Plantation for the golf course. We immediately set up a tour and the moment we drove through the front gate, we knew, but when we met Fran, we were sold!
Fran, Joey and the team went above and beyond anything I could have imagined. Wedding planning was a breeze, she is quick to respond with any questions and will guide you through each step with such a calmness (which is nice when a wedding mental breakdown happens, haha!!) The wedding day couldnt have gone more smoothly, my guests were so complimentory of the whole night for the beauty, the food and staff. We did opt to do their inclusive package and we are extremely happy with our decision! All the vendors worked together prior and knew Fran and venue, it was seamless! Southern Hills Plantation was more than perfect and I would 100% recommend it to anyone and everyone. -

Perfect Night!
Everything was perfect on our wedding day thanks to the beautiful venue! Frances and Joey were so helpful every step of the way as they led the event. Frances responded to my abundance of emails within hours throughout the entire wedding process. They made sure to accommodate all of our requests to ensure that everything went as we imagined. The food was delicious and there was more than enough to make sure everyone left full! Frances even packed up our leftovers at the end of the night and had them ready for us. The ceremony on the lawn was absolutely breathtaking and the balcony allowed for a beautiful view of the sunset. Stop searching for the perfect venue and book at Southern Hills! -

Our wedding reception at Southern Hills was absolutely perfect! The food was so so good, everybody is still talking about it! The views from the Club House were just breathtaking. And Frances. As a bride, Frances saved my life lol! She’s so helpful and calming! She gave me peace of mind that everything would be fine and always responded quickly to my random crazy emails. And she was right. Our wedding day was perfect!-

Words cannot express how much Fran and all the staff at Southern Hills Plantation made our wedding the "dream day"! From the food, ( which was the bomb!) to the view, to decor, to professionalism I am forever in gratitude to all the people at Southern Hills, especially Fran. She made my day not only less stressful, but she was helpful and compassionate and helped me each step of the way (she got many phone calls lol). This was one of those fairy tale weddings, that everyone whom was there, will always remember and talk about! If you are looking for a dream venue don't overlook this one!-

Frances did a great job of working with us and the different venues. I really feel like I had the wedding that I envisioned. All of the recommended vendors were awesome. DJ Pond was so great that when the night was over a family member offered to pay for an extra hour so that we could continue to dance and party. The food was amazing the chef really came through when we told him we wanted ribs. All of my friends and relatives say that my wedding was one of the best weddings they had ever attended. The ceremony was perfect on the lawn. The food was great....and the party was something my guest will never forget. I had friends and family fly in from all over and I really feel like they were very happy that they did not miss out on such an amazing party. The pictures I will treasure forever. I had a dream wedding and I am so grateful to Frances for helping to make my dream come true. -

I have nothing but positive things to say about the whole experience! Frances was incredible! Seriously, so accommodating with everything & so helpful! I feel like i was emailing her everyday with another question and she was always so thorough and quick to respond to my emails. The food was amazing too! So many people commented on how great the food was. The entire staff made sure everything was taken care of on the wedding day so that I wasn’t stressing about anything. Can’t thank everyone at Southern Hills enough for all of their hard work on making our day for perfect! -

Words CAN'T explain my treatment, as a bride, at Southern Hills!! My wedding day was one of the best days of my life! I recommend Southern Hills above all. If your looking for a venue, Trust me, this is the place to go !! :) It's beautiful inside & out ! If u get the all inclusive package, you will not be disappointed bc they give u options to some of the best amenities in central Florida for your day. Every employee who works here (every!!) is kind, sweet & has an awesome personality. Frances, the coordinator, was by my side through every step of the way -everyday!! Anytime, I had a problem, question or concern, Frances was attentive & helped guide me through it all. I love this woman, she's amazing !! It's a long story but we switched venues. We're so glad bc we saved $15,000 by doing so -We found Southern Hills ultimate package was so much cheaper than most venues & their package is all inclusive. When we visited Southern Hills, I fell in love ! It's elegant and beautiful. I had to change my date bc my Mawmaw's very sick. In the end, we ended up planning the whole wedding in only 6 weeks. This included sending out invites, the cake, decor & flowers. I wouldn't reccomend this but Frances assured me w/her help, it's not going to be a problem. She is so helpful! Without her, joe or Nick, I would've been a hot mess! I was treated like a princess from the moment I walked through the door up until the moment I left. What floors me is they had a wedding the day after mine! I was treated by ALL the staff as if I was the ONLY BRIDE IN THE WORLD !! I met Nick & Joe the night before the ceremony. Not only r they gorgeous but so sweet & have serious decorating skills! They took the decorations I brought in & turned the place into a fairytale ! The day of, they made sure every last detail was perfect before the ceremony started! They even ran to the store & bought bobby pins to pin my hair up! Nick joe & Fran will make ur dreams come true!!!! I love this place!! :)-

We had our first wedding for our youngest daughter at Southern Hills. After visiting many different venues from Clermont to Clearwater, FL. we are so happy that we decided on Southern Hills. From the wedding ceremony that was held out on the green looking down the fairway with a beautiful sunset to the incredible food. Everything was perfect. Yes, I am the dad who footed the bill and a former New Yorker who said everything was perfect. Their service was outstanding and Francis is the Director of Food and Beverage who is also your wedding planner from heaven. They handle every single aspect of the function flawlessly. Nothing to ask for, always on top of things or a step ahead. Talk about taking the headache out of planning your wedding, they know the ABC's of how to have an incredible wedding. We must also give Chef a 10+. His food presentations and flavors were absolutely perfect. We had a lot of family and friends who are used to eating in lots of fancy high end restaurants around the country so the bar was set quite high. I am so happy to say that the food was incredible and everyone was thoroughly impressed. It was also a great advantage to have the ability to utilize the condos that are onsite for the wedding party and family.
If you are looking for an incredible venue, with people that actually individually care about your happiness and the success of your wedding look no further. Give Francis a call. Keep up the great work and thank you for those incredible memories that we now have. -

This was the perfect venue and Fran was fantastic! From the start of the planning process Fran was always available to support and answer questions. Her vendor suggestions helped us find wonderful quality vendors to make our big day amazing! Southern Hills was beautiful inside and out and that flexibility helped when our weather wasn’t the best. All of our guests enjoyed the facility and how everything flowed from one room into another. The on site villa was beautiful and my bridesmaids and I had the opportunity to stay the night and get ready on site which eliminated stressful travel day of! If you are looking for a beautiful facility with options to truly make your wedding Day your own thenI highly recommend Southern Hills and working with Fran! -

Our daughter was married at this beautiful venue a few weeks ago. The Event Coordinator, Fran was fantastic!!! The staff during our event were professional, polite and accommodating. The food was out of this world. My husband and I couldn't have wished for anything more for our daughter and future son-in-law on their special day. If I could give Fran and this venue more than 5 stars I would. They deserve it. I highly recommend this venue for any special occasion.

Frances was the ideal coordinator for my wedding ! She was everything we needed and more: professional, timely, kind, and unmistakably experienced. From day one she was so prompt and helpful whenever I had a question - no matter how random or obscure - and even allowed me to visit a countless number of times leading up to the wedding day. She knows how to really organize and keep a perfect flow during the ceremony and reception, making sure everyone is where they need to be and all is in order. I trust her so much and if you are a potential bride reading this - you will too! I couldn't have imagined getting married anywhere else besides the beautiful Southern Hills Plantation Club. -

Frances Hamlett runs this venue for weddings and helped me every step of the way. I gave her the image I had in my head and she offered so many ideas and made the night perfect! She was there from beginning to end and even fixed my train throughout the wedding! She suggested horse and carriage entrance which wowed everyone. She was truly amazing and the venue is gorgeous!!!! -

This venue has everything you are looking for. The outdoor ceremony overlooking the golf course was perfection. I defended a swooping staircase before heading down the aisle. The reception was perfection. In addition to the great team (thanks Joey & Frances!!!), the venue setup flows perfectly. The bar room is great for cocktail hour and appetizers. It has a beautiful balcony attached to it. Guests had a blast watching the sunset and glimpsing at the final moments of the photographer session. The ballroom allows for a variety of table set ups. It can fit larger groups or can provide an intimate space for some smaller weddings. The attaching room was great for dancing. In my opinion, guests enjoy dancing more when they don't feel like people are sitting and watching them. The separate dance floor area was ideal. It also allowed people to have quieter spaces where they did not have to shout over music. The food is perfections and delicious. We were blown away by it. Frances, the coordinator there, answered all of my many questions and emails. She was very patient and helpful. This venue also had adjacent condos that can be rented. This was great to stay the night before the wedding and provided an ideal space to get ready on the day of. -

We held our wedding at Southern Hills on November 12th and it was absolutely fantastic. We had looked at other locations prior to finding this one and feel so lucky that we did. The venue is gorgeous and the view of the golf course is stunning. Our buffet choices were delicious, the staff was very attentive and Frances Hamlett the wedding coordinator is so fabulous. Fran made sure everything was perfect and was always prompt and professional in response to my regular inquiries:)
I highly recommend Southern Hills, you won't be disappointed. -

By far the best place to have a wedding . I got married here November 11th,2017 and the staff had my wedding above and beyond what I imagined my wedding would be like. It was the definition of perfect. Frances was my wedding coordinator and was extremely flexible and was on top of everything she was absolutely amazing and is extremely good at what she does . Everything was included in the wedding package from the food to the lighting and DJ . Extremely affordable. . I could never of dreamed of my wedding being as perfect as I was. If you want to have a remeberable wedding you should most definitely consider Southern hills . I had my guests even tell me it was the most elegant and beautiful wedding they have ever been to. By far the best venue! -

SoutherHills was such a beautiful place for my wedding. Frances and her team were so accommodating to any last minute changes that I wanted. They were there with me step by step to make sure everything ran smoothly. Normally wedding food is just "ok" but ALL of my guest raved about how good the food was. If your looking for a place with beautiful views this is the place! Everywhere you look it is pure beauty. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a one of a kind place that your guest will be raving about! -

We looked at every venue in a 100 mile radius that could provide outdoor / indoor ceremonies. The personal attention and detail that Fran & her team provided was second to none. Everything was perfect. The grounds and back drop are beautiful. If you are looking for that perfect venue and a staff that will work with you every step of the way, Southern Hills Plantation is the place. That's why we give them a 5 star rating.

I don't know how often the mother of the bride posts on this site, but I'm still wonderfully amazed at the beautiful wedding Fran Hamlett organized at Southern Hills. There are not enough stars to do them justice. The venue is elegant and beautiful. The staff there is warm, friendly and very helpful. My gratitude extends to Napoleoni Photography, Westover's Florist, Elegant Events Party Rentals, Cupcake Heaven, Nature Coast Entertainment and Vanity Box Salon. They all made the day beyond special, and that is with 5" of rain that day! The vendors all know each other and work together seamlessly. The food was outstanding - guests are still talking about it! Thank you everyone for making my daughter's day so wonderful and memorable! -

We had our wedding and ceremony at Southern Hills, and it was easily the best choice we made for our entire wedding. We had the Ultimate Wedding Package, in which Fran suggests vendors that she has hand-picked and that know the venue very well. It made selecting a vendor team so easy, and every one of the vendors we picked were top-notch.
Fran was lovely to work with through the entire process. She made planning a wedding extremely easy and stress-free on my end. We have been told multiple times by several people that our wedding was one of the best (if not THE best) and most beautiful weddings they have ever been to. I was looking for classic/traditional theme, and Southern Hills matched that perfectly.
It ended up raining on my wedding day, so we had the ceremony on the veranda. Looking back, I would almost request a veranda ceremony regardless of the weather, because it worked out perfectly and was still stunning. The live musicians didn't have to change location in between the ceremony and cocktail hour, and the shade definitely made the heat tolerable. I honestly believe that we didn't have to sacrifice anything for our contingency plan. Some guests were surprised that the veranda ceremony wasn't even the original plan!
We also got raving reviews about the food. The chef at Southern Hills is extremely skilled in his craft, and everything from the tasting to the cocktail hour and dinner buffet to-go boxes he assembled for my husband and me were delicious. We live about an hour away, and will still be returning for dinner there in the future!!
If I had to do it all over again, I would chose Southern Hills (and ALL the vendors Fran recommended) in an instant. Fran made it so easy for us to have the wedding of our dreams! -

Southern hills was the first venue I looked at. I actually had two other appointments that day with different venues. But after seeing this one, I knew it was the one for me. I absolutely loved every part of it and I'm so happy we went with them. Everything was beautiful and exactly how I imagined my wedding. Fran was always very informative in helpful. Anytime I emailed her (which was all the time) she always responded quickly and had an answer for me. You will not be disappointed with this place!!! -

My husband and I are extremely happy with the results of our wedding here! The venue couldn't have been anymore picturesque and the building was even beautifully lit! The chef was willing to make certain changes to the food we chose, the waiters were curtious, friendly, and family oriented. Frances was quick to respond to all emails and correspondence leading up to the wedding and she was very knowledgeable about vendors (photographer, horse/carriage,etc) in the area and what has looked great, in the past, at Southern Hills, but never tried to persuade us to use a vendor we didn't choose ourselves! The day of our wedding she was there every step of the way from leading the way for our horse and carriage entrance (which I totally recommend!) all the way to helping our family gather our stuff that we were taking home! We couldn't have asked for a better experience! -

I just got married on Saturday January 21, 2017. I could't have asked for a better day. The wedding was perfect. Fran was great and very accommodating. Besides my minor meltdown about the lost boutonniere it was fantastic. Fran went above and beyond to make sure my fairy tale wedding was amazing. The main water line broke in the city of Brooksville so we didn't have running water at the venue. Fran should have shut the place down and she didn't. They literally had a fire truck outside filling 10 gallon jugs and filling the bathroom toilets and had 2.5 gallon jugs of water by the sinks for hand washing. I had no idea that it even happened. My guests had nothing but positive comments. They loved the food, the view, and some of my guests even played golf there that morning and said that was amazing. I got everything I asked for an even more! We are still talking about it how great it was. -

We were very pleased with this venue. We booked our wedding about 11 months prior to the event and feel we got a great value for our money. The venue is beautiful and the food was delicious. Everything turned out perfectly for us. Fran was very helpful with everything and gave us good directions on wedding related options. Fran was able to troubleshoot any last minute issues on ur wedding day so we didn't need to worry about anything. She was flexible with scheduling and extremely attentive to us and our guests. I would recommend this venue to any bride looking for a glamourous venue for a lower price. -

This venue was Amazing, Our guests are still talking about what a perfect wedding it was! From start to finish a wonderful experience. Frances Hamlett was very easy to communicate with and answered all of my questions quickly and was super accommodating to allow vendors to ask questions and visit location and such. Everything ran so smooth because of her and her amazing staff, It was beautiful and the food was also Delicious even the pickiest eaters said it was excellent. So basically there are not enough stars to adequately rate this venue and the staff. They exceeded my expectations and made my daughter's Wedding unforgettable! Thank you Southern Hills Plantation Club!
I highly recommend this venue.
A very pleased Mother of the bride! -

The venue is breathtaking and the staff is superb. It is a total package with people who truly care about making your wedding unique and special. My daughter had special requests and they were very willing to accommodate her needs. We had our hair and makeup done at the spa and it was so convenient and professional. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. -
