From the reviews
We got married at Oak Hill Farm last month & it was absolutely amazing. The venue itself is breathtaking… our wedding felt like a fairytale. Becky & her team were so helpful, kind & accommodating.
Where do I even begin!? We got married at Oak Hill on 9/4/21 and it was everything I've ever wanted for my wedding and more. The venue is SO dreamy, with multiple stunning locations to take pictures at.
There aren't enough words to express my gratitude for everything Oak Hill Farm did to make my wedding dream come true, even more beautiful than I could have imagined.
Im a wedding florist and i had the privilege of setting up at Oak Hill Farm back in October. Words can't express just how beautiful of a place this is. From the moment you drive down the winding forest filled roads, the scenery is breathtaking. I grew up in England and it reminded me of the English countryside.
Getting married at Oak Hill Farm
Oak Hill Farm 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.
