But most importantly, the team is incredible. Rachel was our planner and we worked with her leading up to the wedding. She helped us create a timeline for the day as well as pick decor. She kept us organized and made sure we covered all the details we would have otherwise surely missed. Mel B was our day of coordinator and she kept everyone in line in the best way possible. We had a snafu with one of our vendors arriving late. All I had to do was let her know, and she immediately executed a plan B flawlessly. We didn't have to worry about a thing except for enjoying ourselves. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

I would recommend the 3:45pm to sunset option if you are going in the summer time. The whole grassy area and patio is in the shade which was so nice. The life guards are friendly and we were able to try all the jumps around the area. 30$ per person, including the 5$ reservation fee. It's cash only once you're there, so plan ahead. When we arrived, we also got a 5$ coupon for the restaurant so technically it's like 25$ a person if you end up buying food. The food was reasonably priced and was good quality. They have beer on tap too that was 6$ for about a 12oz. Lots of areas to jump off and space to swim around without it being too crowded. You'll have to do a swim test which is really easy. You jump in, swim to the platform, tread water for 1min, and then swim to the exit ladder.

I've swam in quarry's 20x bigger easily. This was MAYBE the size of a 50 meter pool ( Olympic). 2 places to jump in, there was no swing into the water, no zip line. No diving boards. No rock or beach area at water level. A small platform in the middle. Overall just not impressive at all. I can see why they have a 10-3 and 3:45 to close swim splits as it's so small it would become very crowded. I can see it would be a good place for locals to take a dip but at $30 plus you have to buy all food drinks there. Bathrooms were clean. Overall not a great experience

She was kind, attentive, and always willing to help bring our vision to life. The venue itself is the perfect blank canvas to create your dream Pinterest-worthy wedding or event. We loved having the freedom to personalize every detail and make the space feel uniquely ours. My husband and I wanted a spacious venue where our family and friends could celebrate, dance, and make memories all night long, and PINE was exactly that. One of our favorite aspects was the flexibility to bring in our own vendors, which allowed us to create a wedding that truly reflected us. We couldn't have asked for a better venue and are so grateful to the PINE team, especially Mayson, for helping make our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be. We highly recommend PINE to anyone looking for a beautiful, versatile venue with an exceptional team behind it!

I was invited to Grape & Glass by my best friend for a wine and cookie tasting. I was not to sure…read morewhat to expect, but we had such a great time. Firstly this establishment is owned by two sisters. They were absolutely amazing, the ambiance was nice, a small intimate space but there was room enough to get up and cut a rug! Unfortunately they will be closing their doors permanently. This beautiful gem is located within a shopping strip mall and is so easy to miss, the vibe here was so good I hate that I have not known about them up until now as I could definitely see myself coming here more often now that I have been here. Parking was plentiful! Service was slow, but they were down about 4 staff members so there was literally only one person taking orders, preparing and serving the food, so we completely understood. And plus the service was great so it definitely made up for it! They paired the girl scout cookies with the wine and had us score the pairing. The host was very engaging and gave us a description and origin of each wine that was selected. I've neve experienced anything like this, it was so engaging and well orchestrated. They had a small menu of items that you could order for small bites. We ordered the spinach and artichoke dip which was really yummy! And the garlic Parmesean wings, the wings had a bit of a kick to them and were a bit too salty for my liking, but they were cooked well and very meaty, if you like that sort thing! They also had 5 dollar drinks/cocktails available to order a well. The entire time they had a DJ playing all the hits and after the wine tasting, people got up and danced, laughed and had a good Ole time on the dance floor. It was such a great experience! I'm really sad that our community didn't show up enough to save this gem, I hate to see spaces like this go. But, I'm wishing the owners much success and blessings. Their closing day is March 14th 2026 and they are going to have a celebration, go out and support them!

I am not damaging your business. I spoke the truth…read more We did agree on many things. Some of this would include the empty vases above the mantle, and the snacks and drinks (in the contract) for the bridal suite and grooms suite. The groom and groomsmen weren't even taken to the suite. The contract was for you to be there. My decision in choosing Villa Franca had as much to do with you as the beauty of the property. I trusted you with one of the most important days of my life and it wasn't important enough for you to attend. You worked with me for months and then a month before my wedding you decided that going to Florida with your husband was more important. The original issues are the same. The bartender did not do his job well. The venue is ill-prepared for rain. Things that should have been setup were not. The fact that you keep reiterating that they were agreed upon just makes it worse! Yes, they were agreed upon. But the venue didn't follow through. I apologize profusely if there was a broken lamp. I also do not know of any liquor, and I do truly apologize for that as well. You should know me well enough that I would be humiliated if these were true. You have lost my trust so I'm not sure to believe you or if you are accusing me of things to undermine my review. I will say again, the coordinator and your staff were fantastic. I hold you accountable because you are the owner and I signed a contract with you.
