New Blog!

I am Kaley and I am starting this blog today.  I have just wrapped up a busy wedding season here at Lakeside Ranch.  This is my first season back since moving home to Inverness, Florida.  I now live here on the ranch as I operate the family agri-tourism business.  For the last few years we had other operators onsite and now that I have permanently moved home I am the only person running the wedding and special event business here at Lakeside Ranch.  The transition has been smooth.  We have 2 event venues here at the ranch.  We are in close proximity to Tampa, Ocala, Orlando, and Gainesville areas.  Our main location is located in Inverness, Fl very close to downtown Inverness.  We offer spacious indoor and outdoor areas; customizable layouts for dining, dancing, and photos; a preferred vendor list or bring your own; vendor coordination and parking; inclusive and DIY packages.  We have all the amenities you could wish for or need to have an amazing and perfect wedding or special event.  

This weekend we are preparing for Crystal River's Prom here at our Large White Barn.  This is our third year hosting the Prom for Crystal River High School.  We are excited to have it again here at the Ranch.  We are celebrating with the students and staff Saturday night.  The mood is set with our dreamy rustic setting, warm wood finishes, glowing string lights, and an atmosphere that feels straight out of a fairytale.  Whether you are imagining a country-chic night or a romantic garden-style prom, our venue brings it all to life.  At Lakeside Ranch we hope to make a special impression on the students, families, and staff so that they have a memorable experience and return again soon.   I will post follow up pictures after this weekend.  

Review of the Day! I am going to post from time to time special reviews that catch my attention.  We work for weeks and months here at the ranch to prepare for our weddings and special events and when the client takes time to put it in writing we really appreciate it.  Here goes.... 

"This was truly the perfect place to get married! I’ll admit, I had some initial hesitation - barn weddings weren’t exactly what I envisioned - but the moment I stepped onto the property, all of that changed. It was instantly clear that this was the place where we were meant to get married.

Kaley was an absolute dream to work with. She made the entire planning process so smooth and stress-free. Even though we’re local to Florida, we weren’t local to the venue itself, and Kaley went above and beyond to make sure we had all the information we needed - not just about the venue, but about the surrounding area as well.

She helped us with everything from handling vendors to making decor decisions, and her guidance was invaluable every step of the way. Thanks to her support and the stunning setting, our day was exactly what we’d hoped for and more.

I truly can’t imagine a more serene, romantic, and breathtaking place to get married. It exceeded every expectation and gave us memories we’ll treasure forever."

I appreciate my brides and grooms and how much we work together to make the day perfect.  It is a team effort!
