"Your wedding should be utterly unforgettable, deeply romantic, exquisitely beautiful and entirely “you”."

In 2005, we purchased this 45-acre property in Lake Wales, Florida (just a short drive from Orlando, Tampa or Florida’s east coast). Since that time we have manicured and transformed the farm/ranch into the perfect wedding and event venue while maintaining the property for our loves for flying, fishing, horses, and growing sugar cane for future rum distilling! We hope you will find that Sugar Barn is an elegant and unique experience that will make your wedding dreams come true.
