Wedding Planning & Wedding Day Coordinator INCLUDED! We provide full service wedding planning and an event manager (wedding day coordinator) with our fee. The average wedding budget our couples spend including our venue fee is $35K to $45K. At first glance we look expensive, but since we provide so much for our couples we know we provide an incredible experience within a fantastic budget.
At Lavender Oaks Farm, your guests arrive through our stone gates along a majestic tree-lined drive to a breathtaking view of our two historic timber frame barns that have been lovingly and meticulously restored. Our Main Barn, circa 1900, is designed after European chateaus and is rustic, yet refined, 7,000 sq ft, temperature controlled, and includes our beautiful Dressing Suite, large entry area for welcoming guests, two 10' long Bars, a separate room for specialty vendors such as photo booths, a gourmet kitchen that caterers love, spacious restrooms, and our Lavender Oaks Farm Boutique. Walk outside our Main Barn and enjoy our 3,000 outdoor patio with our stone fireplace, wrought iron gazebo, all overlooking our 4,000 lavender plants. We faced our Main Barn east so the outdoor patio gets all the afternoon shade which is the perfect lighting for your event. Our covered outdoor Pavilion Barn circa 1865 is the perfect location for your ceremony, cocktail hour, or as a rain contingency plan. We rent our barns for weddings and special events year-round and include all your decor, tables, chairs, centerpiece items, dried or fresh lavender (seasonally), graphic design services, and we're here to help every step of the way. We provide a private online planning guide for our couples that is pertinent to our venue, plus we provide a welcome meeting to hear your overall vision and budget and recommend the best vendors to create your dream wedding. We do require you to hire one of our wedding day coordinators from our preferred list.
We rent our Main Barn and grounds 9:00 AM-11:00 PM on your wedding day. We invite you to schedule a tour to see all the beautiful items and services we include with your rental fee to make your day spectacular!
