About

Overlook Farm is a rustic wedding venue located in Clarksville, Missouri. Nestled near the banks of the Mississippi River, the farm spans 325 acres of pristine countryside. The venue serves as a private sanctuary for couples to marry and features breathtaking views, historic lodging, and farm-to-table catering.

Much of the farm’s acreage is available for use during private events. Couples are spoiled with choices for ceremony locations, with seven options available. Rackheath Gardens, Rackheath Maple Trees, The Pond View, Avalon Spanish Steps, Avalon Meadow, and The Overlook, provide picturesque destinations for nuptials. Avalon Hall, the farm’s banquet hall, has a grand facade with magnificent steps which serves as a ceremony locale close to the reception venue. After the vows, the festivities carry on in Avalon Hall, which can seat up to 350 guests. The building is decorated in warm oak paneling with exposed ceiling beams and stone tile flooring. An outdoor patio is connected to the hall, giving guests extra space to mingle and relax. Its pond and fire pit offer idyllic backdrops for photos.

Ceremonies held here include setup, cleanup, and a rehearsal, with the option to add on a pre-ceremony cocktail hour or hors d’oeuvres.

Couples holding intimate gatherings can avail of the Garden Wedding Package, which transforms the farm into a beautiful destination with your closest loved ones.

Such a nice and accommodating venue. This is an amazing wedding venue with the best views in the state, the friendliest staff, and an impressive array of ceremony and reception locations.
Not to mention their guest accommodations and working farm. Would give 100 stars if I could!

We stayed at Cedarcrest Manor after our engagement party as an “engagement getaway” before moving into our new place together. Since December is a slower season, we had the entire home to ourselves where we enjoyed filling breakfasts, and in the evenings we enjoyed tasty dinners nearby. The chefs were always personable and it was nice to know that the produce came from the farm. Everyone that we met was friendly and accommodating so we recommend this destination to anyone looking for a relaxing country getaway.

My husband and I couldn't have been happier with Overlook Farm as our wedding Venue. Hannah, Bethany, and the entire team was so great to work with and responded as soon as they could, especially considering they had weddings every weekend leading to our's! Bethany and Hannah even kept me calm through the stress of changing the event location after our forecast changed from sunny to overcast and cold by meeting with me, helping add decorations, and assuring me constantly that everything would be perfect and beautiful -- and it was! The food was delicious, the service was top notch, and we will always remember how accomodating and kind everyone was as we worked together to plan the event.
The one downside was that there were 3-4 staff changes about a year through 6 months before our wedding, which led to a little confusion when discussing details with event planners. BUT! Once we told the new event coordinators what we wanted they remembered. We would not change a thing about our day with Overlook Farm and will come back to enjoy a delicious meal and romantic accomodations often!
