The Lakeside Ranches is a working ranch and rustic wedding venue set on more than 600 acres of Old Florida landscape near Inverness, in Citrus County. Ancient oak trees draped in Spanish moss frame the property, with a spring-fed private lake reflecting the evening sky. At the heart of the property sit two large, air-conditioned barns — each with panoramic lake views, chandelier lighting, and an old-world character that suits everything from intimate ceremonies to full receptions of up to 299 guests. Multiple open pavilions extend the usable outdoor space, and outdoor ceremonies are typically held beneath the oaks or along the lakeside. The venue operates as a full working cattle and horse farm, with over 50 horses, more than 100 head of cattle, and a small garden on site. Two separate parking lots serve the barns, and the property includes multiple restrooms, handicap-accessible spaces, and bride and groom suites. Couples who want to extend the celebration can find Inverness's restaurants, shops, and outdoor attractions — including the Withlacoochee Trail State Park and the Crystal River — just minutes away.

Joe was born and raised on his family's farm in Chillicothe, Ohio, where they breed and raise a small number of Thoroughbred racehorses. Chillicothe is located in the state of Ohio. Joe was very involved in the 4-H club when he was younger and enjoyed participating in barrel racing. In 2007, he uprooted his life and moved to Ocala, Florida, in order to take advantage of a job opportunity at a small Thoroughbred breeding farm. In addition to his new responsibilities at the farm, he was simultaneously pursuing his education at the College of Central Florida, where he was a student in the Equine Business Management program. Homestead, Florida, is located about 25 miles south of Miami, and that is where Courtney was born and raised. She got her first horse when she was three years old and hasn't stopped riding one since then. She competed in the Hunter Jumper horse show circuit all through elementary and middle school. She changed her focus and ended up falling in love with the sport of barrel racing right around the time that she started attending high school. When Courtney finished high school in 2008, she packed up both she and her horses and moved to Ocala, Florida, so that she could enroll in the Equine Business Management program at the College of Central Florida. It was there that Courtney first laid eyes on Joe. They were both struck by an instant connection, and ever since then, they have been together. Courtney and Joe continued to break, train, and sell racehorses in the two-year-olds in training sales after they both graduated from college and established their own business, which they named Pick View, after Joe's family farm, which had been in the same family for generations. After only a few brief years of running Pick View, they decided to purchase 45 acres in Ocala, which is now their permanent residence and the location of their business. Joe popped the question in 2014, after which the search for an appropriate location began. After attending a stunning wedding in a barn in South Africa, Courtney and Joe were both convinced that they wanted to get married in a venue that was reminiscent of a barn. They quickly found out, however, that they were having trouble locating the ideal spot for their business. When they reached that point, they both came to the conclusion that they wanted to launch Protea Weddings & Events, a premier and one-of-a-kind barn venue. The name "old Cashel Stud Farm" has been given to the property that spans 45 acres. It was one of the very first Thoroughbred race horse farms in Ocala when it was first purchased in 1960 and consisted of a total of three hundred acres. Many champion racehorses were born and raised on this gorgeous property, which is surrounded by granddaddy oak trees that are more than 200 years old. This land is known for its natural beauty. Courtney and Joe were confident that the property, which has a rich heritage, would serve as an excellent setting for the launch of their new business venture. Not only does the historic barn itself have a wealth of tales to tell, but so does the land on which it was built. Courtney and Joe are thrilled at the prospect of continuing to create history on this stunning farm by opening it up to the general public and celebrating with each and every visitor who comes through the front door.

Black Diamond Ranch Golf & Country Club is a private club and event venue set on 1,320 acres of rolling hills and moss-draped oaks in Lecanto, Florida. Founded in 1987 by Stan Olsen, the property takes its name from a premium grapefruit variety cultivated here in the mid-1940s. The Ranch Course, designed by Tom Fazio, opened alongside the community's gates — and the Quarry Course followed, carved through the cliffs and lakes of two retired limestone quarries to become one of the most distinctive layouts in the Southeast. The Clubhouse spans 28,000 square feet and carries the elegance of a Scottish club with the warmth of a New England inn. Its signature dining room rises to a 40-foot widow's watch skylight, framed by dark wood, exposed stone columns, and rich textiles — a setting that suits formal dinners, wedding receptions, and social gatherings alike. Outdoor ceremonies and receptions take full advantage of the quarry views and the property's mature oak canopy. An executive chef leads the culinary team, with everything prepared from scratch using fresh ingredients. The full-service events team supports weddings, private parties, corporate off-sites, charity events, and golf tournaments.
