I’ve been working with Golden Ocala as a Wedding DJ for over 15 years and I have to say the latest remodel is AMAZING!!! You have to see it in person to truly appreciate it’s beauty. I’ve attached a picture that I took(I’m a DJ not a photographer) of a recent Wedding. The staff is easy to work with and that translates into a happy client because we work as a team and the client is able to enjoy their event and not worry about all the details. I HIGHLY recommend you just visit Golden Ocala, and you will be so impressed that you won’t want to leave.
