Everything looked just the way I had envisioned it & how Connie & I had talked about. She was really able to take my vision & make it reality. She had done many weddings at the location of my wedding before but many of my guests who had attended there said they had never seen the hall look so stunning as it did that night. She also did the outside for the actual ceremony, which was just as stunning. The communication with Connie was very comforting to know that on such a big day she was taking care of some of the most important details. She was always quick to return my calls or email. She had the BEST pricing around & she would be the exception on the old phrase, " You get what you pay for" with A Special Occasion you get a WHOLE LOT MORE. Her staff even helped break down things later in the evening that they didn't have to clean up so we could focus more time with our guests. She has great working relationships with many of the hall rentals, she worked VERY well with our caterer in coordinating times so that I didn't have to. She is an A+ class professional but she makes it seem like you're just an old friend that she is there to help. You won't go wrong choosing her & her team.

I highly recommend Catrina and her staff.

Lisa's communication was top-notch. She answered every one of my questions promptly and thoroughly, and she was always available when I needed help. Lisa even stepped in when there was an issue with one of my vendors. Through Lisa's guidance and assistance, we were able to work everything out perfectly. Lisa also has an incredible eye for detail. She was extremely organized and covered details that I didn't even think of. I went into my wedding fully confident that Lisa would not miss a thing. Lisa is also just an incredible person. She's kind and hard-working. Not only do I consider her to be an amazing coordinator, but I now consider her my friend. It's rare to find someone as good-hearted as Lisa. On the day of my wedding, everything went perfectly. Lisa met me in my suite while I was getting ready and gave me the cutest bag filled with little goodies. She was a calming and happy presence that morning. The reception decor turned out BEAUTIFULLY because of Lisa. She has a strong eye for decor, and she set everything up in a way that exceeded my expectations. Lisa kept the night running smoothly, and everything fell into place perfectly. My only job was enjoy myself because Lisa handled everything. She even decorated our honeymoon suite with rose petals and candles. In all, Lisa is an incredible wedding coordinator and and an even more amazing human being. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to have worked with her. She'll be the coordinator for all my future events in Tampa. I highly, highly recommend her.

The clubhouse is huge (80,000 SF) and sits on a hill that provides views rarely seen in Florida. This is an upscale residential development that opened just before the recession.

Jennifer made planning so easy, she answered any questions we had and offered solutions to everything. Seriously, if you can request Jennifer, DO IT. I had so many family members tell me they'd never been to a wedding that went so smoothly. Even my parents who worked in the wedding industry for 17 years sung her praises, saying she was so on top of everything. We got married at the barn venue and it was beautiful, everything was perfect. It's so peaceful and quiet and everyone said our wedding was like a fairytale. The staff at Saxon was amazing; emails are always answered quickly, same with phone calls. Everyone is so so nice and congratulatory. It really was such a beautiful wedding and I wouldn't do a single thing differently. The food was amazing, everybody LOVED the food, the brisket especially. Get married here. You'll be so glad you did. Any decorations I didn't bring or forgot to, Jennifer had ready and made it look beautiful. Weather was great, barn has A/C, they have golf carts from the parking lot to the ceremony and reception site so barely any walking. The pavement and paths were easy for our grandparents to walk on. The lights were amazing, the bathrooms were super clean and tidy and there were 2 inside the barn and 2 in a small building right outside by the barn.

I am the mother of the bride. My daughter had her wedding at Saxon Manor in December 2025, and I am…read morewriting this review because what happened to our family needs to be known. The catering failures on her wedding day were numerous and inexcusable. We had carefully selected a menu after going through TWO tastings, the first of which was so unsatisfactory that we actually asked to bring in our own caterer. We were persuaded to give them a second chance after being told a new chef had been hired. We went back, had a second tasting, and selected our menu: chicken skewers and a dip and cheese platter for appetizers, and for dinner, caesar salad, plain rice pilaf, steak bites, au gratin potatoes, and salmon. Here is what was actually served at my daughter's wedding: * Instead of salmon, they served chicken. * Instead of au gratin potatoes, they served green beans and zucchini, something no one wanted or enjoyed. * Instead of plain rice pilaf, it came out with cranberries in it. * They ran out of chicken skewers during the appetizer hour. Many of our guests did not get any. That is three wrong dinner items and a shortage on the appetizers, on my daughter's wedding day. The manager on site (Nick) acknowledged the mistakes and apologized, and told us the owner would call to make it right. When the owner called me, I was shocked by his behavior. He tried to justify serving green beans by saying they had received a large shipment and had extras lying around, as if my daughter's wedding was a place to use up surplus produce. He claimed he personally witnessed plenty of skewers and suggested our guests may have been overeating. He made an insinuation that my daughter was somehow at fault by saying "I don't want to say your daughter was at fault, but." He stopped there and gave no reason whatsoever how or why the bride would be at fault here (because there is none). When I asked him what do you mean my daughter is at fault, he changed the subject. And when I calmly said this appeared to be a breach of contract, he became loud, aggressive, and belligerent, repeatedly yelling "you played me." I was so uncomfortable with his conduct that I ended the call and told him all future communication must be in writing or with a male (attorney) family member. I then sent a detailed email to the owner and the venue documenting everything and asking for appropriate compensation. They never replied. Not once. Months went by in complete silence. It was only after my daughter filed a BBB complaint and posted a review that they acknowledged any of this, and even then, their response only mentioned one of the four problems and offered no compensation whatsoever. If you are considering Saxon Manor for your wedding or any event, please think carefully. When things go wrong, and they may, this is how they handle it.
