Prices are negotiated on the spot so best to do some research before you decide on this nursery. They also advertise they sell fruit trees; but then when I called the owner was more aggravated that I called from a private number because I called from work. He wasn't very friendly when I arrived to take a look at some of the plants. Then I guess he told his employees to follow me around as if a woman with no pockets and a cell phone was going to steal something, just felt completely unwelcome. But as he said money talks so maybe once you spend a lot of it they'll be a lot nicer and answer your questions or help and be more friendly to you NEXT time. You just have to get through the first part of rudeness or maybe send a man in.

Ms. Amber took so much stress off of our hands when it came to planning, it was no joke! The packages offered by this company caters to EVERY detail of getting married and the wedding aspect. Ms. Amber made sure that although we were doing a destination wedding, we were in great hands on every aspect! Ms. Amber is literally super woman and the best planner of all time! She was real with us when she needed to be (especially about our budget, our interesting families, and being on time), had our back when only TWO people, besides our parents, showed up to rehearsal, and was there for every phone call, moment of freaking out, both of our questions.concerns, Type-A personalities, text messages, and wedding planning meeting. She was so detail oriented to the point of mapping out every detail of what we wanted and seeing those ideals come forth to fruition was breath taking! She even ended up being our officiant, and we could not ask for any other person so lead us into marriage..Even down to my makeup and hair artist...she picked the perfect artist just for me and she made me look like a sea goddess!! We were able to have our dream beach ceremony, our dream reception venue, and everything else in between because of this company and we are so thankful! Because of working with Amber, we were at peace most of planning and had nothing to worry about! Even down to the day when we were doing the final clarification of ceremony music, I literally SANG music and Amber was right there talking me through the names because I was stressing and could not remember the artists. We will definitely be seeing Simple Beach Weddings for renewing our vows in a few years as well. If you are looking for a company that cares about you, knows the area, caters to you and your partner exclusively, and just overall is just an awesome company that takes care of everything you need for your marriage and wedding. Simple Weddings is the company to go with!!!! Thank you so much to Ms. Amber, Mr. Anthony, and the whole Simple Weddings team for making our dream come true! We are still on cloud 9 about how marvelous this whole experience was! If you are planning a beach wedding, destination wedding, basically ANY form of wedding, DO NOT go to any other company besides Simple Weddings, and be sure to have Ms. Amber take care of you! They are darn good at their job!!!!! We LOVE SIMPLE WEDDINGS!! Musically Yours, Fabian & Ashley Moore from Atlanta, GA

My experience with Affairs in the Air (AFA) was a nightmare from start to finish. The owner,…read moreCarolynn, was one of the most unprofessional individuals I've ever dealt with. This review reflects my experience with this vendor, and you better believe I'm coming to the table with receipts. We rented Selby Gardens' South Lawn for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and the North Lawn Ballroom for our reception. Since AFA is the exclusive lighting and décor vendor for Selby Gardens, we had no choice but to hire her. Unfortunately, this exclusivity left us at her mercy, and it quickly became clear that her priority was keeping our money--not providing service. Selby informed us 23 days before our wedding that, due to storm damage, the South Lawn was inaccessible. They offered us a partial refund if we moved our wedding to the North Lawn, which was also severely storm-damaged but still "operational." We declined, as it was beat up, and we were only planning to use the indoor ballroom. Selby ultimately refunded us in full due to the circumstances. We found a new venue 10 minutes down the road that allowed us to keep our date. The new venue recognized AFA and said Carolynn had worked there before, so we were thrilled! But when we proposed relocating and renegotiating her services, she flat-out refused, claiming that she didn't have insurance for the venue--a requirement never mentioned in our original contract. Despite a clear Force Majeure clause in AFA's contract, Carolynn insisted we weren't entitled to an adjustment or refund. Her reasoning? Selby was still hosting weddings on the salt-burned, leaf-bare North Lawn--even though our contracted space, the South Lawn, was deemed unsafe and unusable by Selby! Our AFA contract states: "If renegotiated, a full credit of your retainer will be applied to the new and updated contract. If your event is rescheduled due to a conflict on your part, we will only be able to accommodate you if the new date is available on our calendar." We kept the same date and time, and she was available. This wasn't a conflict on our part--it was Force Majeure. Up until her refusal to cooperate, we never asked for a refund; we simply wanted her to fulfill the contract. We even offered to pay for her insurance to retain her services and were happy to renegotiate the contract for any upcharges or changes. Instead of collaborating, Carolynn doubled down on her dismissive and rude behavior. Her communication was curt, unprofessional, and often grammatically incomprehensible. When it became clear she was going to deny service and keep all our money (we paid in full), we involved a lawyer. Carolynn suddenly offered us half of our deposit back if we signed an agreement not to leave a bad review. I obviously didn't sign that or accept the offensively low offer because she DID NO WORK. Carolynn's behavior was appalling. She showed zero regard for the contract, her professional obligations, or the difficult situation we were navigating. Every other vendor adapted with grace and compassion. AFA, on the other hand, was unethical, uncooperative, and showed no respect for their clients. I urge Selby Gardens to reconsider its exclusivity with this company. Even Selby staff warned me about how unpleasant Carolynn is. Brides should not be forced to work with such a difficult vendor. Brides and grooms, my advice is to avoid Affairs in the Air at all costs. Never pay a vendor in full until services are rendered, and always buy event insurance. Wedding planning is stressful enough without dealing with someone who disregards contracts, customer service, and basic human decency.

After seeing the underside of many tents, I knew I wanted something more elegant for our wedding, however, I was surprised to learn how much drapery and lighting typically costs! After shopping around, it was clear that Affairs in the Air had the most professional-looking drapery for the most reasonable prices. They were very communicative and helpful. I provided a photo of the style I was looking for, and AITA was able to provide photos of their own work that was very similar. In the end, our tent was so beautiful and absolutely surreal - and worth every last penny. We received so many compliments on it, and it really transformed the entire space. I'm so glad that we worked AITA into our limited budget. AITA also did a great job working with us and our tent vendor, U.S. Tent, to determine a timeline for setup and teardown. They arrived on time and had the drapery installed and also removed by the designated times. Thank you, Affairs in the Air, for making our wedding space so beautiful!

I've been all about mangos since they are in season right now. I found Long View Family Farm on FB,…read more& messaged them to see if they had mango available today, & they sure did. I stopped by and Thuy was super helpful. She told me about the varieties of mango that she had. I let her know I wanted sweet juicy ones. She picked up a handful of mangos for me. She labeled them and she wrote down which ones I can eat in order of when they would be ready. She let me know mangos should be stored in room temperature until they are ripe. She grows the mango trees here as well as many other tropical fruits. She also sells coffee, drinks, and mango bread and muffins and other fruits that are available. She posts availability on Wednesdays and people can get the best pick then. She also meets people in Land O Lakes for orders which is nice and convenient for me. Glad I was able to check it out. It's a nice spacious barn with seating and there were baskets of mangos that are labeled and flower arrangements and other goodies that she had. Great service and excited for fresh local grown mangos!

Currently sugar apples, soursop, and chimoya are in season so we got some of each to try. Owner was so helpful and friendly. She explained everything, how to tell if ripe, etc. Outside they have trees you can purchase. We bought a mango tree and they did a great job explaining what was needed and helping to package and secure for the ride home. Do not miss out on the drinks and desserts. We got the mango ice cream. Homemade and so delicious. You could really taste the farm mango. Not your commercial ice cream. A great way to end our trip to the farm. They have 40 varieties of mangos and so many other tropical fruits. Cannot wait to go back and try more throughout the year.
