Blessed with the best venue!

We love Oakland Farm! The best way I can describe it is you get the big, beautiful barn of your dreams, yet there’s this sweet small town feel. You’re not just another booking on their calendar, it feels personal, like good old fashion hospitality! From the touring, communication, and being able to stay onsite at the farm house, Oakland made me feel at peace in what could have been a very stressful time wedding prepping. We appreciated never feeling like a bother when having tiny questions before the big day. I could tour anytime I wanted even after booking. I think I visited four or five times? There’s a closet with tables and chairs to use, but they also had a few random items like easels and when asked if we could use it, they swiftly let us borrow these things in a heartbeat! I also valued the flexibility. If I wanted wood chairs outside, they’d accommodate. I love following them on Instagram seeing the many ways they accommodate a bride’s special vision whether getting married on the patio or inside! Oakland was always so kind, personable, and flexible. It really made me feel at peace on our day! The views are STUNNING. You don’t just get that farm feel, but greenery and elegance under the pavilion too! When booking, they provided a go-to list for vendors who knew the property and made the rest of my prep flow with ease! Everything was smooth sailing after booking with Oakland. It all seemed to fall into place with their recommendations! We got married on Friday but had the venue Thursday and Saturday. Us having our wedding at Oakland Farm was something we treasure and I highly recommend a tour for any bride interested! Great place, price, and accommodations. They gave us a gift the day of our wedding we still have on our shelf today. Oakland made it easy and we truly cherish their part in the story of our day!

Amazing Experience

There are not enough wonderful things to say about this venue and Kaitlyn the venue manager. The space is beautiful on its own but the possibilities are endless as far as how to make it your own. Kaitlyn goes out of her way to assure that every little detail of your special day is exactly how you pictured it. She responds promptly to any questions you have and her venue provides the perfect foundation for your special day.

Excellent, and professional

As soon as I arrived at Oakland Farms, I knew it was the place for us. We loved that we could do everything at the site. From getting ready, to getting married and having the reception. And the best part was taking the photos. We were even able to get the horses in the background. I recommend anyone I meet that is getting married to go to Oakland Farm. It was amazing.

Dream Wedding Venue!

We initially chose Oakland Farm because of the gorgeous venue space! The renovated barn was rustic, yet elegant and the beautiful covered pavilion gave us the peace of mind of knowing we could have our dream outdoor ceremony rain or shine.. which ended up coming in handy on our drizzly wedding day. But the scene was still breathe-taking nonetheless. The cherry on top for me were the adorable cows on site that I was more than happy to incorporate into our day!

Outside of the amazing venue, the staff was phenomenal to work with and made what can be stressful planning so much easier! They allowed us to tour the site multiple times so that all sides of the family could check it out before the big day and they were so accommodating when it came to preparing for our rehearsal and wedding day. They were so prompt to answer any emails with questions I had and were very helpful with ideas on how to best set up the space for the number of guests we had.

Simply cannot rave about Oakland Farm enough.. I wish we could relive our wedding day there over and over again!

Wonderful Experience with Oakland Farm

The team at Oakland is incredibly easy to work with. Special shout out to Kaitlyn! :)

I love that Oakland's space provides you the opportunity to design the venue to reflect your own personal vision. Think of it as a blank page - in a good way! The venue is stunning ON ITS OWN, but can also be transformed however you want with ease. It was incredible! The venue itself is quiet, peaceful and just enough "out of the way." It is close enough to Sanford to be convenient for out of town guests. There is plenty of parking as well.

The weekend package is the way to go - such a great value and provides so much flexibility. We did not have to rush the entire weekend! The farmhouse was wonderful for getting ready. My bridesmaids and I spent the night before the wedding (after the rehearsal dinner) at the farmhouse as well. It was so much fun and beyond convenient.

Oakland has a great list of preferred vendors, but allows you to use your selected vendors without restriction. This was such a big deal to me!

Again, the team was so easy to work with and made the planning process much easier than I thought it would be. I can't recommend them or Oakland Farm enough.

Simply Splendid

My wedding at Oakland Farms was amazing! I can’t say enough good things about them! From Kaitlyns quick replies with emails to giving us extra time to clean without the fee it was all around wonderful. We had access to the farm anytime we needed for any photos for vendors! (they accommodate very well). The price was straight forward and we didn’t get any surprise charges last minute. Going in my only concern was the grooms suit being it was a little small but from what I hear from my now husband and his 8 groomsmen they still had plenty of room to cut up! The team Oakland has is outstanding and the venue is just simply a treasure. I recommend them to anyone who is looking for a stress free beautiful place inside and out!

Simply amazing.

I cannot say enough good things about this venue AND the venue manager, Kaitlyn. I wanted a fall Garden & Gun aesthetic which the farm house and property lent themselves too with ease. Kaitlyn was also just extremely helpful and really helped make sure our day was perfect. She helped answer any question I had, no matter how small. Also, if I needed to check out venue spacing, measure something or just need another visual of the venue, she made sure we could get out there as many times as we needed, which was extremely helpful. We did a sit down buffet dinner for 165 people, 8 of those being seated at a family table. There was plenty of space inside to accommodate all of that and a DJ. We did use the covered patio for cocktail hour though. The property itself is stunning and a great for photos, especially in the fall! The cottage is great for the bridal party to get ready the morning of too. We had 15 people (5 of those hair and makeup with equipment) and had enough space for everyone to be comfortable and relax while getting ready. It’s also well stocked with toiletries for those little things we forget! In all, I’d use the venue again and again. They’re amazing.

Perfect farm venue!

This venue is perfect if you're looking for a private farm venue with scenery. It has a covered outdoor pavilion if you want an outdoor ceremony and indoor space if you want an indoor ceremony. The inside space in the barn is perfect for any reception. The farmhouse on the venue made it super convenient to stay in the night before so we could start getting ready first thing in the morning and it comfortably sleeps up to 10 people! The pastures and trees made for beautiful photos, especially in the fall with all the colors! Would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a versatile, rustic farm venue!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
