A Special Events Liability Insurance Policy is mandatory and will protect you from liability for injury or property damage that may happen before, during or after your wedding. Our insurance company provides an affordable and complete plan that will protect you. The policy’s cost is $200 and it is INCLUDED in the rental fee. Our Hospitality Coordinator will acquire the policy for you and supply you with a copy of it for your records if you’d like.

We have handpicked a handful of premier award-winning catering companies for you to choose from to make the day your own. They offer impeccable service and cuisine that will meet every bride’s budget. Inquire about our options. We can accommodate all your needs with professional and expedient friendly service. There is a standard 10% facility fee for catering that covers ice, water, electric, etc. If the client uses another vendor that is not on the preferred vendor list, the client is charged an outside catering fee directly of $250.

Outside caterers are welcome here at Mixon’s if they carry liability insurance, are licensed and are approved by our Director of Weddings. There is a service fee required for outside caterers for the use of kitchen, ice, electric, etc. of $250.00

If you choose to use another vendor, who is not on our list, we will need to have copies of their license and liability insurance. There are only fees associated with catering companies that are outside vendors.

No matter who is doing the catering, Mixon is always responsible for operating the bar. Please contact us for more information on pricing.

Mixon has a beer and wine license, so wine and beer may be purchased through us or brought in (pour fee applicable). We offer many flexible packages for alcohol – from open bar to ordering kegs or wines by the bottle or case. Our Hospitality Coordinator can supply you with the different beverage options and pricing. We can also set up a wine tasting, where you can sample all our Florida Wines before selecting which one you would like to serve at your wedding.

Our license does not include liquor, so we are not able to sell liquor to you. You can purchase and bring bottles of liquor and mixers yourself, with our bartender serving the liquor along with the beer and wine. To include liquor at your event, there is a pour fee, (per person, 21yrs old and up). It is important that we stress; Mixon bartenders are responsible for serving liquor, since any alcohol consumption on our property, is our responsibility. We want to ensure that we hire the necessary number of bartenders, based on how much alcohol is involved and your guest count. An important thing to note drinking alcoholic beverages in the parking lot or in a car, is not allowed! Anyone found doing this, will be asked by our Venue Supervisor or Coordinator, to discontinue and if they continue, they will be asked to leave the event. It is important that guests have identification to be served any type of alcoholic beverage.

Yes, since we hold the beer and wine license, and due to liability issues, we are responsible for monitoring the alcohol consumption on our property.

Sure! We have tried to design and landscape our venue space so it is amazingly gorgeous as it is, but of course, you will want to make your event your own, by adding personal touches. Our landscape artist has designed the area so at all times of year, colorful flowers are blooming. You may hang decorations,  however use of nails are not allowed. Candles may be used if they are housed in a glass container, since open flames are a hazard to our grove. Sorry, fireworks are prohibited on Mixon’s property. We offer several different decorations to rent including lanterns, floating candle vessels, drapes, crystal beaded curtains, and chandeliers and more. Ask our Hospitality Coordinators to see samples and prices of what we have available.

We have multiple options for Event Coordinators who can help you with services from decorating, to timeline designs, rehearsal and more.
See our  Coordinator Services for more details on what they provide. If you choose to bring in your own coordinator, there is a $500 outside Coordinator fee & they must sign the Outside Coordinator Contract.

With our Grand Pavilion venue space, no “back up” plan is necessary if the forecast calls for rain. Our covered Pavilion has roll-down, clear vinyl sides that will turn the Pavilion into a large outdoor room, still allowing view of the surrounding area. The ceremony can easily be moved under the Pavilion.

Our store and deli are open to the public Monday – Saturday, so if your wedding happens to fall during that time period, you may be sharing the parking lot with our customers, but, there is no need to worry – we have plenty of parking spaces to accommodate wedding guests and customers alike.

No. This is a working citrus farm, so we do have tractors, farm equipment and large trucks that are used here for the citrus portion of our business, but usage of those items are largely contained to Monday – Friday, ending before 4 pm.

To reserve your date, we require a $500 non-refundable deposit. We then will work with you to plan monthly payments if you would like to have them in smaller increments. The payments are easy, no interest and not through a financial institution. You can opt to only make payments starting 6 months out as that is all that is required with the balance is due at your 2-week meeting prior to the event. A $500 security deposit will be added to your event for incidental and returned 30 days post the event minus any damages or extra approved costs.

Yes we do! We’ve held many different types of events here at Mixon’s, including luncheons, charity events, meetings, proms, birthday parties, baby showers, and more! Please contact us for more information regarding other types of events.
