Got a Florida friend who needs some help...

[Guest]

Hey all,

I have a friend from the NUTS charity (Sister Hazel's charity) who is needs some help finding a venue and DJ for her wedding. Here are some of the details, if you are interested in the lead, or know of a venue I could point her to, send me a message:

11-11-2011 (It's a Friday) - early afternoon if possible

Type of venue wanted:

pretty much anywhere from Tallahassee over to Gainesville, Starke, Ocala, Leesburg, Winter Garden, etc.


- (rental must be under $1500)
- Approx. 100-125 people
- Would like to provide our own catering (unless their catering is inexpensive)
- Must be wheelchair accessible
- Hopefully would not charge by hour or extra for set-up, etc. (was hoping to set up day before)

She is also looking for a DJ.

Sounds like a very restrictive and limiting budget.

If it was a little further west I might be able to make some recommendations. But Tallahassee is 180 miles from here and roughly a 3 hour drive.

I can make a call or two to some friends I have in the Jax area or down towards Orlando, but they're not in that area specifically either.

Thanks for the lead but it is too far for me I am in Tampa.

Thanks for the lead but it is too far for me I am in Tampa.

call Greg Tish, GT Entertainment out of Tallahassee. He might be able to help.

That is a wide range. Many places to choose from.

Ronn Redd Accent Entertainment covers alot of those areas also:

Patrick,

I sent you a PM. I can go over that way depending on the specifics. I've actually done weddings in Jacksonville, which is even further away.

I am hopefully talking to her today or tomorrow at the latest and will pass along all the info to from everyone who messaged me or gave me recommendations in here.

She is a super sweet girl and will be very easy to get along with.

Standing here in FL, that is a HUGE geographic area!!! I am talking HUGE... Winter Garden to Pensacola is 436 miles by car....

 

[MusicMeister]

Yea, I was asked if I was going to a music festival in Miami. I told them I was closer to Nashville, Atlanta, New Orleans, and even Houston than I am to Miami!

Like when I lived in Northern California and folks asked me about Hollywood. Same in ORegon. I lived in Medford and folks asked about Portland tho I would travel 5 hours. In Cali I would have to travel nearly 12 hours to do an event in Hollywood.

 

[DJ PAUL]

Yeah Pensacola is a world away from Orlando. Pensacola has some of the most beautiful beaches, well... until the oil lick hits!

[Harryoke]

Yeah, I am in Daytona Beach, which is central Eastern FL, and it is 20 miles closer to Atlanta for me to drive than Pensacola, LOL! And the middle of Florida is only about 200 miles wide.

I have a friend...who is needs some help finding a venue and DJ for her wedding...pretty much anywhere from Tallahassee over to Gainesville, Starke, Ocala, Leesburg, Winter Garden, etc.

I am sure she can find something and someone in the parameters that she set up, but that geographic radius is just baffling. Certainly she could nail down a town that would be convenient for her and her guests then maybe narrow it to a 20 mile radius....then I bet we could find someone.
