From the reviews

We at Ola Mae Events had a wonderful night last night coordinating a wedding at Holly Oak Farms and it was our first time working at this venue. For any future Brides looking for the perfect place that is also budget friendly I would defiantly recommend looking into Holly Oak Farms.

★★★★★ — Amber, Oct 2023

Three weeks have passed since my daughter's wedding and the memories of this venue and working with Marty are still a brightly glowing ember in my mind. Since we live out of the area, our first look at the farm was a few days before the wedding - what a beautiful surprise to see this property, barn, and chapel in…

★★★★★ — Keri, Jun 2021

I personally believe a 5 star rating is simply not enough for Holly Oak Farms! There’s just something so special about local, family owned and operated businesses, especially this one. Their customer service and hospitality is beyond accommodating, not to mention how beautiful and versatile their venue is.

★★★★★ — Chelsi, Sep 2023

I was so impressed by the entire venue. It is beautiful, and Josh and his Dad did not stop being supportive, helpful and completely thorough throughout the event.

Getting married at Holly Oak Farms

Holly Oak Farms comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
