West Light Farm is a beautiful and modern farm venue in High Springs, Florida. This secluded event space rests on a 42-acre family-owned farm. Betsy and Bernard chose this farmland as their humble abode because of its breathtaking scenery, dense forests, and quiet country atmosphere that very few other venues have. West Light Farm provides the perfect private wedding venue for couples of all kinds. Located just five minutes from downtown High Springs, and less than 30 minutes from Gainesville, this venue provides the serenity of the countryside with the convenience of the city close by. West Light Farm is pleased to host once in a lifetime wedding day events.
Facilities and Capacity West Light Farm offers event space for weddings of every style and size. The property features 42 acres of rolling hills, forests, and a historical land sink surrounded by a natural limestone wall. A gorgeous Southern Oak, aged more than 260 years, has branches that cascade to the ground and serves as one of the many ceremony locations on the property. The tree is covered with Spanish moss and provides a stunning backdrop for wedding photos. Another ceremony location features a historical land sink, better known as Hidden Rock Hollow, which is surrounded by forest on all sides. Both ceremony locations face west, which offers the optimal lighting for photography. Pecan wood raw-edge benches will be set up at the ceremony site for convenience. After the ceremony, you can lead guests to the pole barn, where cocktail hour and your reception dinner will be hosted. The barn can seat up to 140 guests, with wooden tables and chairs provided by the venue. The farm's white pole barn boasts a more modern style with commercial grade market lighting. A bridal suite is also available for the wedding party to get ready before the big day.

Our experience getting married at West Light Farm was like a fairy tale. Our original 130+ guest wedding was canceled due to COVID-19 but my now husband and I were determined to still get married on our date. About a week away from the day we were to get married, while looking for a photographer we were connected with Betsy the owner of West Light Farm -the most beautiful 42 acre farm. Turns out, her and her husband are both photographers too! - And amazing ones at that. I can’t stop looking at my wedding pictures! It’s a pretty perfect combination for the owners of a venue to also be photographers if you ask me.
We went to go visit the farm and instantly fell in love, it was everything we ever dreamed to be surrounded by on our wedding day. Wide open green pastures, the most beautiful oak trees and the sounds of chirping birds in the background. The day of our wedding was nothing short of intimate and perfect, and everyone in attendance agrees! Betsy and Bernard have put so much love into creating west light farm and you can really feel it.
We are so happy that for the rest of our lives we will have the memories of getting married at what everyone has called “the perfect wedding venue”. Thank you again Betsy and Bernard for saving our wedding and helping us turn it into something magical!

We were married @ Hidden Rock Hollow @ West Light Farm . The weather was awful that day... Lots of Rain.... God granted us a window of about 20 mins to Walk down the aisle with a little bit of sunshine:) It was absolutely PERFECT!!! I'll admit I was a little high strung the day of our ceremony but Betsy was a saint and was so calming and willing to help in any way possible. Betsy even went to the ceremony site that morning and set all the benches up for us and cleaned off my burlap runner for me to walk down the aisle on :) My photographs from my wedding were STUNNING from the huge Southern Oak with the hanging chandelier to the Hidden Rock Hollow with the round wooden arbor that they provided ..... I was even able to decorate it myself :) My wedding was everything I ever dreamed of. Thank you West Light Farms for allowing us to use your beautiful venue!!!!!

Beautiful, intimate, and relaxing place to get married!
We were married at the farm, underneath the beautiful 200+ year oak tree. Betsy went above and beyond to set up the ceremony site with benches, lanterns and a chandelier to help with photos, even though it was just me and my groom. Her bridal suite is clean and a very relaxing place to get ready. They also have a cart to drive you to the ceremony site so you do not have to walk in your dress. And though we already had a photographer booked, Betsy took additional photos for free that were absolutely stunning. I cannot recommend Betsy highly enough. She is so kind and generous, and she made our special day exceed every expectation.
