    The Foxtail Estate

    We fell in love with Foxtail last year when my sister got married there. Amira, her staff, and the vendors I chose from her recommended list, Ambers Jewel Catering, DJ Jukebox Bully and Ohlson Photography, are not only professional, they are fun to be around. You can tell everyone loves what they do. This is the best place to have your BEST DAY. Besides the beauty of the venue, the hospitality, care and love dedicated to you, the guest, is undeniable. Thank you so much for everything Foxtail!

    Perfection

    Where do I even begin?? Perfection. Amira was more than helpful during this entire wedding planning process. She went above and beyond and I couldn’t have asked for a better venue. This is a true DIY wedding dream. I was able to express my creativity and Amira was encouraging the whole time. If I got stuck on anything I knew I could turn to her for some direction. The property is absolutely gorgeous, the bridal suite is the perfect size with a little area for hair and makeup with ALL the natural light a bride could ask for one getting pampered on her day. The groomsmens get to overlook the venue while they are enjoying the day of. Not to mention, the other bedroom is super cute too! During the wedding weekend I was so focused on my wedding I didn’t get to enjoy all the amenities Amira has to offer. With that being said the groom and myself will be back to stay at her bed and breakfast so we can sit, relax and enjoy her beautiful house and that front porch. The wedding ran completely smooth with absolutely no bumps. I am truly blessed I picked to start my Forever at The Foxtail Estate.

    Truly made our dreams come true!

    Amira was a great communicator and she really guided us to make this wedding our own. We did a "micro-wedding" as we only had 18 guests and it was fabulous! The package came with cake, photography, flowers and so much more! Not only did Amira do a wonderful job, but the vendors that she recommended for us such as photographer and the florist were a delight to work with! The venue is perfectly setup to have a party also! This historical building has the most positive and loving energy- Amira has a wonderful book of all of the residents that have lived there in the past which I find to be absolutely amazing! If you're looking for something unique, memorable, and with only the best energy, then you found your place at the Foxtail Estate!

    More than just a venue

    The Foxtail Estate is more than just a venue. Amira at Foxtail created an entire wedding experience that was absolutely perfect for us. She was flexible, willing to think outside the box, and accommodating in every way. Her vendors (photographer, florist, officiant) were the best! They were so helpful and caring. All that to say, our wedding day was beautiful and so "us" :) The icing on the cake was staying the night in the amazing honeymoon suite!

    Romantic & Perfect ❤️❤️❤️

    The Foxtail Estate allowed every daydream of ours to come true. We loved getting ready at the location & staying there for the evening of the wedding!! It was the “easy button” for us as we selected the micro wedding package. Amira had open communication with us & really cares about her clients. The space to get ready in the bridal suite took away a lot of stress as opposed to getting ready elsewhere & traveling over. Our guests loved the unique venue & made a weekend of the event by staying in nearby bnbs. The outdoor space itself was perfect for our event. The string lights, beautiful trees and Florida sunset made me feel like a was living a fairytale. So romantic & sweet. The homemade breakfast the next morning was absolutely delicious!! Couldn’t recommend this gem of a venue enough.

    Amazing venue & B&B!

    The Foxtail Estate is the best!! It serves as a local wedding venue in the Daytona Beach area as well as a B&B for guests to come and stay. It’s has been newly renovated to be a more modern & slightly traditional atmosphere. The backyard of the estate is so beautiful and has plenty of room to have a wedding ceremony there. The beautiful greenery in the back is definitely a sight to see. I highly recommend the Foxtail Estate to host any event or even to just come & stay when you are in the area!

    Backyard Wedding of our Dreams at Foxtail Estate!

    I can't express with enough words how awesome Foxtail and Amira were for our intimate October wedding! The venue is gorgeous, spacious, and full of greenery for those who like the backyard or jungle vibe with room for dancing and sweet photo op spots. The bed and breakfast, bridal, and groom suite were perfect. Amira is super helpful, intentional, proactive, flexible, and incredibly sweet. She did everything she could to make our day perfect and exactly how we wanted it and went above and beyond for us. She's the best!

    Dream Wedding

    We had a slightly larger micro-wedding at Foxtail that was an absolute dream! It was so perfect for us as we are extremely busy parents who wanted all of the big wedding feels, but without the burden of picking our vendors and navigating the whole process.

    Amira was amazing and the micro package couldn’t have been easier for us and happened in a flash! It included photography, small bouquet (although we added a lot more flowers), wedding cake, and officiant. She gave us a few options that were included that we were able to expand on for exactly what we wanted.

    This historic home has been transformed by Yuri and Amira and you can see all of the work and love they have put into it. The garden venue was more magical than it looks in photos and the location across from the marina in the historic district couldn’t be better. If you’ve been considering Foxtail for a wedding, DO IT! I never could have imagined my dream wedding could come together so quickly and it was absolutely perfect.

    Absolutely amazing!

    There isn't anywhere I would have wanted to be married, other than Foxtail. It's breathtaking in appearance, and Amira is wonderful. She helped coordinate our wedding with a weeks notice, and it was perfect. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and it really was. Our small intimate ceremony was everything I could gave dreamt of. Foxtail is truly a dream come true venue.

    The Foxtail Estate's reply:

    Thank you so much, Shauna! You are so sweet and easy-going and, even though it happened VERY quickly, we're overjoyed that you decided to start your Forever at Foxtail! We are so happy for you two and so thankful that we could make your wedding dreams come true! We wish you a long, prosperous, and happy life together!

    Photographer’s Perspective

    The Foxtail Estate is a beautiful, historic B&B in Daytona Beach. The venue is prefect for your wedding day. There is a marina across the street & plenty of great locations for photos around the property. Amira, the owner, is amazing to work with. From our first communication, she was very kind, helpful and responsive. I look forward to working with her in the future. If you are looking for a wedding venue, check out The Foxtail Estate, you will not be disappointed!

    The Foxtail Estate's reply:

    Hi Tracy,

    It was our absolute pleasure to work with you and thanks for choosing Foxtail for this gorgeous shoot. You made absolute magic even in a Florida summer rainstorm!

    Perfect and effortless

    I contacted this venue and within an hour I had a response and without even looking at the venue I booked my wedding due to the professionalism and the excitement of the owner. I never once felt like I was bothering her. The day of the wedding was so effortless and perfect. My wedding was planned within 45 days and was the best experience I have ever had. She also picked my other vendor and all was perfect .

    Fun location and relaxing experience

    Beautiful historic home that was a rare find for us. As mother of the bride, they took care of every need for me and the wedding party. It was wonderful to have the privacy of the house to ourselves and we didn’t feel rushed at all. Hard to pull off, but we actually had a relaxed worry free experience thanks to Amira.

    Beautiful venue and amazing host!

    My friend was recently married at the Foxtail Estate and we loved everything about the venue! The house and back yard are absolutely beautiful and have lots of different places for great photos. Amira was incredibly helpful and a just an amazing person to work with. Shes funny and sweet and we could tell that she wholeheartedly cared about making my friends day special. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I highly recommend Foxtail to anyone!

    Wedding Weekend

    The Foxtail Estate was a dream and I couldn't have asked for a better venue. We all traveled from out of town, so it was absolutely perfect to have the house for the entire weekend to reunite with our best friends who live all over the country.
    We had a casual welcome party Friday night on the grounds and it was so great to spend some time with our friends and family before the big day.
    We loved that it was a B&B and that it was historic, but the decor was modern, funky and blended the old and new together perfectly. was It such an amazing perk to be able to get ready with my girls in the Bridal Suite: we were dancing to Mariah with our room's Alexa, drinking champagne, getting glammed up in the sunroom and were able to look out the window to see the venue space to make sure everything was going according to plan to keep everyone at ease.
    There are no words to describe our wedding: magical, whimsical, dreamy... it was everything we ever wanted and more! We were cutting it up on the dance floor,
    We loved that they included a day-of coordinator for our who was amazing and made sure that the timing was right for everything and that all of our vendors were in check!
    The best part was, it wasn't over yet! Sunday morning we were able to have one more breakfast together with our family before leaving for our honeymoon.
    The owners have done such an amazing job restoring this historic property and turning it into the magical garden venue it is today. We wouldn't change a thing! Thanks x a million, can we do it again next year??

    All around friendliness that makes you feel at home

    While at foxtail, I was comfortable and felt as if I’d known the owners for a while and being that the venue just recently went through remodeling, it is BEAUTIFUL and perfect for an outside wedding and even has rooms to stay in afterwards!

    Dream wedding

    This is the perfect outdoor wedding venue. It is absolutely gorgeous all around. From the beautiful, historic home with the amazing bridal suite, to the lush, green backyard with towering, overhanging oak trees. I couldn’t have asked for more, and it made for gorgeous photos!

    Best Venue Ever!!!

    Best venue ever!!!
    I was a 2020 bride, so my plans were constantly changing.
    All of the original plans I had made for my wedding had to be changed due to covid-19, and my 300 person wedding had to be pushed back.
    But I still wanted to get married on my original date, with our 15 closest relatives. So I started searching for a new venue 3 months out and found the foxtail estate!
    Amira was wonderful! She already had packages prepared for brides like me who were looking for something small. And what made it even better – everything was included!!!
    From the officiant, and the flowers, to the cake and photographer, I didn't have to do anything but get myself to the venue.
    The day was perfect, and I can't thank Amira enough for everything!!!

    Happy Bride

    We booked an elopement package with the Foxtail Estate during COVID Feb. 2021. This package includes all the necessities such as an officiant, flowers, a cake and photography, without the stresses that come with planning. We visited the venue before booking and Amira was very welcoming.
    I considered a few elopement options before landing on the Foxtail Estate, but in the end, I liked that we would receive the bridal suite for the evening and that I still got to work with each vendor to personalize the day to our taste. Amira was very kind about my endless questions and was happy to accommodate some small requests.
    Amira and her photographer of choice, Paola, are friends and that lends to their ability to work well together. I am extremely pleased with the pictures from the day that allowed us to share with all those that were not able to attend.
    The overnight stay was a nice treat – we did not have to worry about packing and rushing home after the fun. The bed was comfortable and there was coffee and a light breakfast available the next morning. We enjoyed talking with Amira for a while before departing for our mini-moon. She is definitely one of those people you feel you could easily be friends with. The passion and work she and her husband put into the venue is very impressive and I give her so much credit for efforts.
    Overall, if you want simple, straightforward, stress free, this was a great alternative. It let us still have the basics like cake and a champagne toast (although we ran out of time for a first dance) that we wouldn’t have easily managed with a courthouse ceremony. The entire event is only an hour and this is a deadline they are strict about – if you are looking for more time or frill, the next package up for a micro-wedding seems to allow for this and provide a bit more relaxed schedule for the day without much more cost.
    A few things to note:
    -If flowers are very important to you, spring for an upgrade to the package – the flowers were okay but not the freshest or best bouquet I have received. The vendor didn’t listen to what I requested (no roses, loosely tied bouquet) but I know February is not necessarily the easiest month for flowers. They looked just fine in photos so it was not a deal breaker.
    -The street outside the B&B is busy. If you’re a light sleeper, I would recommend earplugs. They did provide a sound machine type program on the TV but I know some people can’t sleep with the light of the TV on.
    -The location of this venue is PERFECT!! We had at least five dinner options all within walking distance from the estate. This made our wedding dinner just as easy as the rest of the elopement. We changed and walked about 6 or 7 minutes from the venue – we felt safe and the streets are well lit.
    -The bridal suite is quite large and can definitely accommodate a big party – we did find the sunroom where the vanity sits a tad warm while getting ready. Consider a fan if you run hotter, like I do.

    The Foxtail Estate's reply:

    Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! You and Tom are so sweet and it was an absolute pleasure to be part of your most special day and I absolutely loved getting to chat with you both in the morning! Thank you for your kind words about your experience here!

    But I am SO sorry you didn't get a first dance, I had no idea!! The photography time ends strictly at 1 hour as each few minutes after that leads to hours of editing for her, but we actually mentioned to your mom as we were getting out of the car that if you wanted more photography time she could definitely do that to take pictures at the marina or of a first dance etc, but she said no that you didn't want to add any more and I didn't want to bother you about it as I assumed she knew what you would have wanted and I seriously regret that now! The time wasn't over at the venue by any means, it was just over with the 1 hour of professional photography included in the package, so I sincerely apologize for the miscommunication or if you felt rushed to leave. We just wanted to get the cake inside as we were worried about rain, but you were welcome to stay out there enjoying the property and we had even talked about you being able to have dinner at the sweetheart table if you wanted to pick something up. I’m so sorry that you didn’t have the opportunity to spend more time, so if you ever want to come back on a weekday when we are free and get that first dance in, I'm more than happy to have you come use the grounds for that as that's a pretty special moment that I wish you would have had!

    A few notes for future brides, we have a sign in the bedrooms along with the wifi info that the Alexas are there to work as sound machines to provide nature sounds or white noise in the p.m. when they're off-duty from music in the a.m. as it can sometimes be a little loud on weekday mornings with cars going by to commute. We also provide earplugs in a basket and a fan that lives in the upstairs hallway for any guests to use, so I’m so sorry you didn’t know about that while you were here!!

    I actually am going to start working with a new florist as I had already had a bit of an issue with the one that we used with this elopement package. They used to be AMAZING, but there's been a staff change and I am very sorry to hear that their quality disappointed you and she didn't listen to your requests. I actually had a talk with her a few days before and it was also clear to me that she tried to change what you had asked to fit into the included bouquet rather than accommodate it at a higher cost which is what she absolutely should have done. I had asked her if we could still change it, but she had already ordered the flowers, but I can assure you this won't happen again!!

    Thanks for your thoughtful reply and I hope that you take us up on that first dance!!

    Best,
    Amira

    Picture perfect!

    Amira has a gorgeous venue and she made our wedding so easy! She introduced us to reliable, responsive vendors who exceeded our expectations.
    Additionally, she catered our event to our every request. It was honestly a pleasure working with her!

    Her back yard is spacious and beautiful day and night. ALL of our guests commented on how beautiful and perfect our venue was. It's truly a hidden gem.

    When you step into Foxtail Inn you'll be greeted by a beautiful, historical, comfortable, and tastefully decorated accommodation. All of our guests who joined us in the Inn were pleasantly surprised. Amira has thought of every detail from fluffy robes, to extra pillows of various firmness, to a stocked coffee bar. Each bedroom has a fan and private mini-fridge.

    As a bride you'll appreciate the spacious honeymoon suite, separate makeup room, and private bath. All of your bridal ladies can get ready in comfort. Your groom & his boys can enjoy the spacious rear bedroom, private bath, & balcony. It's truly perfect.
