About Us | C Bar Ranch

C Bar Ranch has a story that spans generations, with a rich history of turpentine production, cattle ranching and crops. Now, with our luxury events barn built for the purpose, the ranch is the perfect venue for weddings and events in Florida.

Ray and Nanette Holt, owners of C Bar Ranch

C Bar Ranch and Organics, LLC is a family-owned-and-operated farm and events venue. We are the fourth and fifth generation to work this land.

Many years ago, the pine forests of the property were used for the collection of tree sap that was transformed by State Rep. Jasper Harris into turpentine for waterproofing ships.

The land was later farmed and ranched by his daughter, Dorothy, and her husband, Roy Cellon. They produced cattle and vegetables, often growing potatoes for what was then called the Wise Potato Chip Co.

Now, ranch operations are run by their granddaughter, her husband, and their children. Their mission is to produce fresh, healthy vegetables and fruits in a variety of sustainable and eco-friendly ways and humanely raise animals the way God intended. They aim to preserve the ranch and its bountiful natural resources for many future generations to enjoy.

In 2017, the events venue was added to the property. Now, the family invites in others to enjoy a taste of rural life and all its beauty.

Ray Holt, the farm manager, would be proud to show you around and help you plan the perfect event. The farm, with its sprawling oaks and charming barn, provides the perfect backdrop of natural beauty for a wide range of events—from elegant weddings to corporate events, quinceañeras, and much more.

C Bar Ranch was named for the livestock brand of Roy and Dorothy Cellon, which appeared as a capital C with an underscore.

Why we do what we do

Ray and Nanette were married in 1997 and enjoyed their own wedding tremendously. Looking back on the day spent surrounded by loved ones gives them great joy even now. Their hope is to help you create memories that will bring you the same kind of joy as you launch your life together.

By building an elegant wedding and events venue, they’ve provided a way for the land to remain in an agricultural use and allow their adult children and future grandchildren to continue working together to preserve the ranch.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Had the amazing opportunity to Meet Ray from C Bar Ranch when Celbrating Valeria for her Quenceanera a couple of weeks ago. From the time we arrived and starting uloading to the time we loaded up the turntables to leave, the hopsoitatlity was unmatched by any other venue we have been in. Most venues only cater to the guest that book them, but forget the vendors are also their customer, at the end of the day we are telling people about our experiences when at the venues, so treating us with the same respect and courtesy are huge if you want repeat business. Most venues treat the vendors as a side thought, but when we met Ray, he treated us like family, so much so that had a 20 to 30 minute conversation upon greating us, and chatted thoughout the night as the vent progressed. The venue is perfect, spacious and laid out very well, room for lots of guest, and a pretty awesome views for eveyone to enjoy when outside. All the details seem to have been well thought out when building this venue, and I am confident if you need space for a Wedding, Party, Quencenera, or anoy other event, This is the place!!

From day one, they went above and beyond for us — always communicating, making sure every single detail was perfect, and doing it all with such kindness and great energy. They made us feel so cared for and truly made our day unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or hosts. 1000/10 recommend — they’re simply the best! We cannot thank you guys enough... Samantha & Yamil!
