Best day of my life!!!…read more It was such a pleasure to work with Keith Watson Events to plan my wedding! They helped me plan my dream wedding and made all my requests come true. I couldn't have asked for better planners. Maile was extremely helpful with all my questions and concerns, and had such great insight into the process that made this seemingly stressful process, much less stressful. Maile and Savannah were so helpful and organized on my wedding day and really helped me just enjoy the day and not stress at all. They knew everything about the wedding, and all of our vendors, and were so great at corresponding between everyone elegantly and efficiently. I would definitely work with them again in the future for parties and our vow renewal!!

Their communication throughout the process was great and they went out of their way to find a way to make things special. The day of the wedding was one to remember and we could thoroughly enjoy it without stressing out about the details. They really thought of so many things that we would never have thought of which actually saved us money. I had always heard that Keith Watson was THE BEST and I couldn't agree more!

They are overpriced and force you to hire a bartender to serve drinks (beer and wine) you personally provide. They lie to their customers and tell them that "in the state of florida you need to have a licensed bartender to serve drinks." That is a LIE, in the state of Florida you do not need a license or permit to serve beer a wine... actually a bartender doesn't even need to have a license to serve liquor in Florida. They are lying to their customers. We were hosting a memorial.. not a wedding.. this wasn't a party and our experience with Celebrations made everything more stressful than it already was..... AND they serve soggy crostini.... They made us buy food too! Many of the people who helped with the memorial have worked for catering companies... The crostini was dated for the day before.. Our "bartender" said they were made in the morning... Another lie. What a joke of a company.

My wife and I ate breakfast here after church on a Sunday morning. Located in a strip mall adjacent…read moreto the Ocala Police Department HQ, this place looked more inviting inside. Upon sitting down, we struck up a conversation with a couple who were waiting on two other couples. They apparently have a standing "breakfast date" at Live Fire every Sunday morning. My wife ordered an omelet served with breakfast potatoes and artisan bread and I ordered a classic breakfast with scrambled eggs, potatoes and artisan bread. Breakfast was very good. What stood out to us was how fluffy the eggs were and how savory both the potatoes and artisan bread were. All we could think was how this feels like breakfast elevated to another level...not the usual breakfast fare. We will surely be back and perhaps try their lunch and dinner offerings the next time we're back.

It's awesome having another local, non-chain restaurant in Ocala with management that clearly cares. Ribeye was cooked perfectly and love the broccolini and the twice baked potato. The whole dish is simple but really well prepared. Pecan salmon is also really good, with a subtle sweetness and crunch. Highly recommend the butter toffee cake for dessert. The outside of the restaurant shouldn't fool you as the inside is surprisingly nice and really like the inclusion or real local art for sale on the walls. Service every time has been very good, keeping everything nicely topped up and checking on us. Overall, if you're looking for a quality, local restaurant in Ocala would highly recommend.

It was such a great experience and everyone was so thoughtful making sure we had a great time! We each got to decorate our own cake and choose what color we wanted the frosting.

It was such a unique experience and I highly recommend it! I was gifted a martini glass cake from there as well and the flavor was DELICIOUS. I also recommend their cake pops!

We hired this business to do the uplighting for my wedding reception. Twinkle Nights originally…read morequoted about $15,000.00. After one of my vendors who coordinated this aspect of the reception called this price out as ridiculous, Twinkle Nights immediately reduced the quote by about $10,000.00. Subsequently, I reduced the quantity of lights needed by 25%, and Twinkle Nights reduced the quote by a nearly proportional amount, which meant, in the end, we paid about $4,500.00. The only way to square the initial $10,000.00 reduction is that Twinkle Nights was trying to scam us, which is consistent with the rest of our experience with them. Without our knowledge, Twinkle Nights, subbed out our event to another company. The employees of that company showed up on wedding day with cheap uplights. I have been told by a vendor who works in event lighting that these lights could have been purchased--not rented--for a few hundred dollars total. While the event was beautiful, the lighting was absolutely not what we paid for and did not achieve the effect we contracted for. The colors were off and many of the cheap lights broke before the event even started. Worse still, a representative of Twinkle Nights was at my venue during setup. When this mistake/breach/issue was noticed by other members of our vendor team, the Twinkle Nights representative apparently said that she hoped I wouldn't notice. Two days after the event, another vendor told me about all of this; at that point, I still hadn't heard a word from Twinkle Nights. In fact, the only time the company apologized to me was as a Google review reply. The only positive thing I have to say for this company is that when confronted and informed that I was very willing to sue, they eventually issued a refund.
