About
The historic John Oliver Michael House is a charming 20th century farmhouse surrounded by beautiful oaks. Sitting atop a knoll bordered by its own farmland of forty acres. It offers a very peaceful and private atmosphere for any occasion. We are located in Oconee County, 4 miles from Hwy. 316, 12 miles west of Athens, and 48 miles east of Atlanta. It is our pleasure to offer you the opportunity to host your wedding ceremony and reception at our historic home place.
The John Oliver Michael House has put together a pallet allowing YOU to achieve whatever style is yours':
A quant farmhouse decorated in a classic look that is timeless. Walking from the front porch of the John
Oliver Michael House you will meander along an antique, brick pathway leading you to many options for
your choosing for your ceremony and reception.
Beautiful oaks surrounding the farmhouse and "Oliver's Nest. Some of the oaks are draped with outdoor
lighting showcasing a beautiful outdoor setting for your ceremony and reception.
Oliver's Nest, a fun place to host your reception (should you prefer the indoors). We named it such as it
sits nestled in the shade of beautiful oaks. Once indoors, it's absolutely magical:
Hanging pendants and chandeliers.
Draped lighting from the wooden beams.
Black rod iron sconces along the white, washed walls.
A beautiful antique, brick ?replace.
Perfect for any Wedding Ceremony and/or Reception.
Our Wedding Arbor is cascaded in wisteria vines and showcased with strings of lights making a beautiful
setting for your ceremony. Or you may use the arbor for other uses making it unique for your personal style.
Everything is surrounded with ?elds of tall grasses (sometimes with a few hay bales in the distance).
It's your wedding, it's your day, "Make it Your Own"! And, we will help you "Make it the best"!

As a fellow vendor, I have worked at the John Oliver Michael House multiple times. The outdoor area has been configured in a number of different ways for both ceremonies and receptions, and they all flowed seamlessly! If you're looking for a great outdoor venue, make sure to look at the John Oliver Michael House!
