    Absolutely amazing!!

    Couldn’t have asked for a better vendor and venue. Our day was absolutely beautiful and Ann was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. leading up to our big day she was attentive and always answered our questions as quick as possible. Her husband Michael was a phenomenal cook, and our guest absolutely loved his food. Got a lot of compliments on his cooking and choosing him. I would 100% recommend this venue to anybody who is looking for a beautiful place and an absolutely incredible staff!!!

    Amazing! Amazing! Amazing

    Our experience of having our wedding at October Oaks was beyond words! The location is of course breath taking, but one of the most incredible parts of October Oaks that makes it so so amazing is the owner of the venue, Ann. She is without a doubt one of the most caring sweet people there is. She will make sure your wedding goes exactly how you picture it. She’s beyond just the owner of the venue, she will make sure your wedding is absolutely perfect! She cares so much about making sure your wedding is the wedding of your dreams. The whole wedding was exactly how I pictured it and more. Just a truly truly amazing night! The whole venue is so beautiful! It looks like it is out of a fairy tail!

    October Oaks is an amazing wedding venue! It’s so beautiful. It’s a perfect mix of elegant and rustic. I just got married this past weekend and it was a perfect day. I have no complaints about my experience.

    Looking for magic? IT’S RIGHT HERE!

    I am going to put this into words as best I can…. If you tour this venue BOOK THIS VENUE!! My now husband and I toured October Oaks 1 year prior to our wedding date.. this was the 5th venue we toured. I was starting to freak out.. I had enjoyed several that we toured prior to here but he just hadn’t felt any of them were THE ONE.. until October Oaks. We toured with Michael and right before we got into the truck to head back home he said “we will be calling you to book our date.” October Oaks was THE ONE. It was the most magical place to get married and I already want to do it again! From day 1 Ann has been amazing. She stays calm, she talks you through everything, she gives recommendations and suggestions when you feel overwhelmed, and she runs a tight ship!!!! Wedding day went FLAWLESSLY. I would hands down recommend October Oaks for ANYONE’S special day. You feel like family from the moment you meet Ann and Michael. We have gotten so much positive feedback from our guests from the location to the beautiful scenery to the bridal cabin to the gorgeous barn.. I could not have envisioned a more beautiful or perfect day. You will NOT regret getting married in the wonderful world of October Oaks.. “our bubble” became palpable to everyone in attendance at our wedding day and I know without a day yours can too. It is simply magical.

    Best venue ever!!

    October oaks was incredible!! The Mather family made our wedding day flawless and smooth. They were so kind every step of the way. Everything from booking, touring, payments, decorating, and the day off was easy and understandable! We had a few hurdles along the way and they didn’t skip a beat with accommodations and understanding.

    I was virtually stress free my wedding day and it is 100% because of the Mather family!

    The venue itself was spacious, clean and stunning! With multiple ceremony spots in a beautiful secluded area of Florida!

    The most MAGICAL venue, with the KINDEST and professional team

    WOW!! Where to even begin... from the first interaction that I had with the owner Ann, I knew my heart was " Home ". Ann is the kindest and sweetest person you could ever imagine and want alongside you during the planning process. When looking for a venue, it was a top priority for my now husband and I to have a venue that was dog friendly. Not just as in they were allowed in... but more so as if they were loved and WANTED there. We felt the love ann had for animals, especially dogs and we knew this was it!!! We wanted our dogs to partake in the best day of our life, and they did just that :) COMMUNICATION.. it was amazing!! Seriously, she would email back so kind and informative time after time so FAST, no matter how small or insignificant my questions were, I was always put at peace. I never ever had to stress on communication throughout the entire process, and as a bride thats all you could ever dream of. Lets talk about her decor inventory! Another of the many perks this venue has. I used her arch, tables, chairs, and lots of decor, which saved us so much money. She has an album on her venue facebook page that shows lots of her decor to check out. As we know weddings are very expensive but it was so nice to be able to use so much of her decor. She even has a greenery wall which we ended up buying a neon sign and adding it as a prop. There is also giant jenga, corn hole, you name it! The venue.. its seriously magical and sooooo beautiful. Go see it for yourself .. you will see! So many places for gorgeous pictures, my videographer and photographer had never shot at this venue and they LOVEDDD it! Also, lets mention how the venue includes a bartender and allows you to purchase and bring your own alcohol! That was yet another money saving hack! We were so happy and so happy with the bartender and drinks! Lastly, the day off the wedding. Ann and her ENTIRE team were the best " well oiled machine" is the best way to describe it. They were a power house! They all had roles and were so amazing at each. They always ensured our needs and happiness were above all. They were attentive, they were kind, and efficient. Our day ran so smoothly and it was thanks to this team. My husband and I were amazed trully about how every individual in her team was just so great!! They truly took care of us. They were a family to us and we will forever be so thankful that our paths crossed and that we chose them

    The best venue

    Ann, the owner, is amazing. She was so open and excited to having her first gothic styled wedding at the venue. She helped every step of the way. Pictures of the venue don’t even do it justice. Every inch of the venue is beautiful and her staff is so nice and easy going, we thoroughly enjoyed all of them.

    BEST venue ever!

    I cannot express how thankful I am that we chose October Oaks for our venue. Ann and her team were the most genuine and helpful crew out there. Even with a hurricane hitting days before our wedding, she made sure she did everything she could to ensure it was on still. Our guests were so impressed with how nice the property was and the beautiful views (especially sunset).

    Ann as the coordinator made sure that everything went without a hitch and answered all questions we had since we did all planning by ourselves. She kept in contact with all of our vendors to make sure that there was not surprises the day of the wedding and made sure they were all at the venue when they were supposed to be. She communicated with us so well throughout the wedding and made sure we knew about everything going on and gave us multiple updates throughout the night.

    Our florals were canceled due to the hurricane and Meagan (Ann's daughter) kindly pulled any florals they had on site to help spruce up what we were able to find short notice. This was a life saver!

    We also hired Michael (Ann's husband) who owns Michael J Cuisine and what a success that was. He was so attentive and talked with all guests to ensure everyone was well fed and happy with their meals. Even weeks later, people are still talking about the food (especially his mushroom sauce!). I highly recommend hiring him for the catering.

    All in all, we couldn't be happier with our choice of picking October Oaks and would do so again!

    The most amazing venue!

    We cannot express how thankful we are to Ann and her team for making our day so special! Not only is this venue absolutely gorgeous, but the coordinator, Ann, was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was with us every step of the way and was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns that we had during the planning process. She is truly amazing and it is because of her that our special day went off without a hitch.

    Anne and her team were outstanding!

    Anne and her team were outstanding! From the final walkthrough to the rehearsal to the breakdown and cleanup, she was there every step of the way with the biggest smile on her face. You can tell how passionate she is about her couples and her property! She made everyone feel like part of the family and made for an amazing atmosphere and experience for the entire wedding process. I highly recommend you go check out Anne and October Oaks!

    Father of the bride

    October Oaks exceeded our expectations on every level. The venue and the friendly staff hit every note perfectly. The owner, Ann Mather, was available for all our concerns and was on-site before during and after the ceremony which was fantastic.
    Thank you Ann!

    Wonderful/Special Wedding Day

    I can't say enough about how beautiful October Oaks Farm is for a wedding venue! There pricing is incredible for what you get as well. There are many different locations on the property to have your ceremony and the barn being air conditioned is a huge bonus. I have never seen a wedding venue where so much is included in the pricing. They allow you to use their items for decorations if wanted (saves a lot of money), they are so very flexible with you bringing in/using your own vendors, and the fact that the the Bridal Cabin is available all day to the bridal party makes it a very special day/time with those in your wedding party.
    The staff is AMAZING!!! They are so completely dedicated to making it the most special day for the wedding couple. It was a wonderful and stress free day as they took care of need, want, desire, last minute change, etc. with gracious and loving attitudes.
    I really can't stress enough how wonderful the staff and venue are. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone!

    I felt like family!

    From the beginning to the end Ann and Michael are there to answer your questions and walk you through the process. I can honestly say I had my dream wedding at this unbelievably beautiful venue. Don't waste money on a day of coordinator especially since Ann is there and knows the place better then anyone. I might have been asked 2 questions all day otherwise Ann took care of it all. She was sure to be on time and if any deviation at all in the timeline she was sure to figure it out. It was all a dream from the planning to the day of. I would recommend this venue to any bride that is looking for the perfect outdoor/barn wedding. I felt like I was apart of their family the whole time and especially with COVID Ann was sure to keep in touch often and let us know their plans. I was never stressed or worried because she always had a plan. We are so grateful we were able to get married in this beautiful place! 10/10 recommend October Oaks.

    4....3...2..1. The Perfect Wedding Venue for a Countdown Wedding

    October Oaks was beyond breathtaking. They helped make the entire wedding process easy. They have several areas where you can choose to have your ceremony and have different arches as a backdrop. I was fortunate for my wedding day because Michael and Ann built a new Rockwall to add to their collection of places to take photos at. The venue had several decorations, centerpieces, cake tables, couches, props, etc., to use for Free to make the venue your own. I didn't have to worry about paying out of pocket for any of it. Ann was an outstanding wedding planner; everything went smoothly during my wedding because of her. They had provided a pamphlet with vendors in the area to help make the search easier when finding a DJ, photographer, or bakery. She made sure to talk through how the whole ceremony would go down and kept everything running on time. Ann was an absolute sweetheart and would go out of her way to make sure your wedding would be stress-free. Michael and Ann made everyone feel like family.

    Because of October Oaks, I was able to have my dream wedding

    After countless hours searching the internet and several disappointing venue tours, my now husband and I visited October Oaks. As soon as we stepped onto the property, we instantly felt peace.
    This venue was perfect. It was gorgeous, an amazing value, and made for an awesome wedding! The decorations the venue has are so gorgeous and saved us hundreds of dollars! We were also to save on the cost of a day-of-coordinator. Ann ran rehearsal and was there the entire wedding day making sure everything ran perfectly, and she was only an email away during the planning process! Ann was totally the backbone of our wedding. She worked well with all of our other vendors, so our wedding went off without a hitch. At the end of the day, she felt like family! We all were SO thankful for Ann!
    I cannot recommend this venue enough. It was a little more of an investment than some of the other venues we looked at, but when we factored in how much we saved in bar service, rentals, and a coordinator, we ended up saving tons of money. You really have to see this venue for yourself, and you definitely won't regret it.

    They are the BEST!

    There are not enough words to describe how great Ann and Michael are! Ann made the wedding planning experience incredibly easy! The day of she took care of all the small details I was worried about. Michael was our caterer and stepped in to be our officiant at the last minute! Michael did an awesome job during the ceremony and the food was amazing!! All of our guest complimented how great the food was! You can’t not go wrong at this venue! They are such a great family! I say family because even their family is involved on the big day! All of our friends and family loved Travis as the bartender! Ann’s son in law was so helpful driving us around for pictures and asking if we needed anything! The catering staff were awesome as well! They came out during pictures to see if we would like hors d’oeuvres. You can not go wrong with october oaks! Amazing venue, gorgeous views, and great people!

    Wedding venue bliss

    October Oaks was everything I wanted in my wedding venue and more! The barn is so grand and so beautiful! Definitely southern elegance! Not to mention, it has A/C! Huge plus in this florida heat! Such a versatile place! And not only is this place so amazing, but the owners are such great people! Ann is so talented and knowledgeable about all this wedding stuff! We were so very grateful for her expertise! The care that was shown to us is unmatched as far as I’m concerned. The Mathers truly love people and strive to deliver on making your wedding dreams come true. So blessed to have worked with October Oaks!

    I cannot put into words just how amazing Ann was! She kept us sane during the whole process, from planning to the day of! She and her assistant took care of EVERYTHING and we didn’t have to lift a finger on our wedding day. Not only was the venue beautiful and breathtaking, we also saved SO much money since they provide the chairs, tables, and an impressive amount of decor to choose from. Our wedding day was just perfect

    Beautiful Venue

    I don't have enough words to express how incredible this venue and this family are. We visited the venue 2 years before our wedding and I knew it was THE ONE. Not only is the venue absolutely beautiful, the owners are some of the most genuine and selfless people I've met. There are so many beautiful ceremony spots, you are for sure to find a place that fits your vision. The barn was perfectly set up for cocktails, dinner, and dancing. Everything about the venue was PERFECT.
    Ann and Michael are so welcoming to their guests and treating everyone as family. Ann was quick to respond to emails and answered all questions that I had. She also let me visit the venue a few times between booking and the wedding so I could show it off to my family and bridesmaids. Michael was our caterer and I couldn't be more pleased with how it all turned out. Our guests still make it a point to mention his food when talking about our wedding. Michael was also quick with emails and helped with perfecting our menu. He even helped with last minute dietary restrictions. Having my wedding at this venue and working with this family is a major highlight of my wedding, you won't regret choosing October Oaks for your wedding.
