From the reviews

Best venue ever! Everything about this place is just perfect. There’s plenty of room to get ready here for both parties as there is a large bridal suit and a grooms suit. You have multiple choices on what location at the venue to perform the ceremony.

Southern Lea Farms was the absolute perfect choice for our wedding! It truly felt like a fairytale come true. The grounds are stunning, offering so many incredible spots to capture beautiful photos that we will treasure forever.

★★★★★ — Brittany, Mar 2026

One of the most beautiful venues in our local area. It's stunning in the spring and summer (although a bit hot in the summer, but that's just Florida). It is very classy and decorates well.

★★★★★ — Mary, Feb 2019

We at Mattox Studios LOVE photographing at Southern Lea! Not only are the staff fantastic to work with the venue has many amazing places to photograph. The owners ask us every time we arrive if there is anything they need to do or add to help make the experience better for us or the couple we are there to photograph.

Getting married at Southern Lea Farms

Southern Lea Farms comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
