My experience at The Barn at Oak Creek was nothing short of magical, making it the perfect backdrop for our special day. This venue is a hidden gem that effortlessly marries history, charm, and genuine hospitality. Ceremony Site: A Timeless Affair Under the 250+ Year-Old Tree The ceremony site, nestled under the branches of a magnificent over 250-year-old tree, was the stuff of fairy tales. With pews gracefully arranged in front of the babbling brook, the ambiance was both tranquil and enchanting. The tree, a witness to centuries of time, added a profound sense of history to our vows. It was a picture-perfect setting that left us and our guests in awe. Reception Site: A Barn Born from the Land The reception site, housed in a barn built by the owner Alan, using trees from the property, was a masterpiece of rustic elegance. The barn exuded warmth and character, with every beam and plank telling a story of the land it came from. The craftsmanship was impeccable, and the intimate setting provided the perfect canvas for our celebration. Owners: Compassionate Stewards of a Dream The owners, the heart and soul of The Barn at Oak Creek, are exceptional individuals who run their business with a perfect blend of compassion and efficiency. From the initial inquiry to the day of the event, their communication was seamless, making the planning process stress-free. Their genuine passion for what they do was evident in every detail, showcasing their commitment to creating unforgettable moments for couples. It's not just a venue; it's a labor of love. Attention to Detail: A Masterclass in Perfection What truly sets The Barn at Oak Creek apart is their unparalleled attention to detail. Every corner of the venue was adorned with thoughtful touches, from perfectly placed decor to strategically placed ambient lighting. It was evident that the owners take pride in creating an experience that goes beyond expectations. The result was a day that felt tailor-made for us, a testament to their dedication and planning. Recommendation: A Hidden Gem for Every Love Story In conclusion, The Barn at Oak Creek is a hidden gem that deserves to be discovered by every couple seeking a wedding venue that transcends the ordinary. The blend of nature and the owners' genuine warmth creates an atmosphere of pure magic. I wholeheartedly recommend this venue to anyone in search of a place where dreams come to life, and love is celebrated in the most enchanting way possible. Our heartfelt gratitude goes to the owners for making our day a timeless masterpiece -

Oh my gosh - Where to begin! If you are teetering on which venue to choose, or have this one in your tour list - DO IT. You will absolutely not regret it. Daryl and Alan are top notch, and they are the most professional, personal, attentive venue owners of all time.
From the day we met them, we knew that we couldn’t get married anywhere else. We were greeted on their beautiful property with so much care and attention that we immediately felt at home. Every single person that came into contact with Daryl and Alan from that day up until the evening of our wedding couldn’t stop praising how wonderful they were, and how they made each and every one of them personally feel welcome. My (now) husband and I honestly feel as if they are family at this point.
From a photos perspective, we can’t even begin to tell you how many times people have looked at our wedding photos and said, “OH MY GOSH - This doesn’t even look like a wedding in Florida!” and “THIS is seriously such a fairytale wedding!” This is the absolute best property for sunsets, shading, photo opportunities, and allows for creativity. Daryl and Alan meticulously care for their property so much that you couldn’t possibly have a bad angle or photo on the entire property.
They helped us with every single question along the way, provided insight for any questions that we had, and even helped us brainstorm anytime we felt stumped. We can’t even begin to express our gratitude for The Barn At Oak Creek, but we are hoping that this review helps someone that’s searching, just like we were, to choose this venue as their dream venue! You will absolutely not regret it! -

Amber S. Sent on 10/13/2023Best Decision I Made (second only to my husband)
Choosing a wedding venue can be stressful and uncomfortable but the second we arrived at The Barn at Oak Creek, we just knew it was our dream venue. Daryl and Alan could not have been more kind, understanding, responsive, helpful, or welcoming and it really shaped our whole wedding experience. The venue is the most gorgeous property I’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing and I couldn’t be more grateful to have been able to share it with my friends and family on our wedding day. Daryl’s vendor suggestions we’re all AMAZING and I’m eternally grateful to feel like I had guidance from her expertise and by the end I truly felt like I was having my wedding on a friend’a property. If you’re shopping venues you absolutely must see The Barn at Oak Creek!
My photos are by Lindsey VanderWal who came highly recommended by Daryl and did not disappoint! -

The Barn at Oak Creek is an absolutely magical wedding venue. My now husband Stephen and I toured at least 10 different wedding venues before going to The Barn at Oak Creek and the minute we got back into the car after touring there we knew it was where we wanted to get married. Ever since I was a little girl I knew that I wanted a fairytale outdoor wedding and my dreams came true at The Barn at Oak Creek. The venue is so picturesque and peaceful, and you would not think that you were in Florida. The owners Daryl & Alan are so sweet as well; even our guests after the wedding told us how nice they were to them that night. -

Molly Sent on 05/03/2020Barn Wedding Venue Worthy of a 10 Star Review
There’s not enough we can say to describe our incredible experience with The Barn at Oak Creek.
Our wedding was the first event they hosted and we were humbled to be able to be a part of that Milestone for the venue.
The Barn at Oak Creek hosts such an incredible landscape that we knew it was where we wanted to get married before the venue building was even a blueprint.
Wide open country setting, priceless grandfather oaks and rolling hills make the setting ideal for any event. Let’s not forget the natural creek that flows through the basin of the wedding ceremony site. An abundance of features that money can’t buy and you won’t find anywhere else.
My only regret is that the day went by too fast! I’d have an event here every weekend if we could. The owners were gracious in working with our preferences and visions. They kept us posted on the venue progress frequently and even had us on-site to see how it was developing.
11 out of 10 stars without a doubt. If you’re getting married in the greater Tampa Bay Area you’d be remiss not to take a tour of The Barn at Oak Creek, I have a good feeling you’ll enjoy it as much as we did. -

Oh, where to begin! The Barn is absolutely breathtaking, you can tell it was built with a lot of thought and love. The ceremony site is private and absolutely beautiful, you feel like you aren't in Florida anymore. Daryl and Alan are the kindest, fun and most down to earth people I've ever met. I knew right away that this was the place that my husband and I would get married. Their hospitality was some of the best I've ever seen and they helped make the whole wedding experience more memorable. Our guests were complimenting the venue all night and were seriously stunned by how beautiful everything was. I can't thank them enough for making my wedding dreams come true, I am forever grateful for them. Look no further and book with Daryl and Alan, you won't be disappointed! They are the absolute best!!

The Barn at Oak Creek is one of the most beautiful properties that I’ve ever been too. We got married there last weekend and were the third wedding that they’ve hosted. The weather was perfect and the venue was stunning. Guests were telling us all night how gorgeous the property was and two couples even mentioned how they would love to get married there in the future. The venue owners, Daryl and Alan are the kindest and most down to earth people I’ve ever met. We toured the property when it was still under construction. Daryl and Alan told us their vision and we booked it right then and there. Daryl was always available when I had questions for her and let us do our engagement shoot and rehearsal on the property. I had my dream wedding thanks to Daryl and Alan and I am forever grateful for both of them. Daryl and Alan are professionals and truly care about each couple they work with. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a farm/barn venue. -

Couldn't have asked for a more perfect day!
This place is magical, it takes you out of Florida and make you feel like you are somewhere else. No traffic or noise distractions to worry about. If you and your partner are looking for rolling hills, beautiful oak trees, and views of a green pasture that goes for miles this is it!
One of our favorite parts of our wedding was our ceremony.
We choose to have our wedding at the "Wedding Tree" (there is a few areas to choose from for your ceremony on the property)
This ceremony site is what had us saying yes to our venue even before the actual barn for the reception was even built!
To get to this ceremony site there is a beautiful wooden bridge built crossing over a running creek to get to "The Wedding Tree" which is this beautiful Oak Tree with branches that shade your entire ceremony area accompanied by restored antique church pews.
This ceremony site was so beautiful I felt guilty "Fluffing it up" with flowers and wedding decor because it was just breath taking without all of that I chose not too (Which saves money ladies!)
Our Reception was held at the Barn. The Barn isn't one of those tacky colored Red Barns that every wedding looks the same! The barn is all natural wood with rustic touches which allows any decor/ wedding style. The barn includes a women's & mens restroom with multiple stalls, Grooms Suite and the Bridal suite is very open, comfortable, tons of electrical outlets, great lighting and an entire wall with mirrors which is so important when getting ready! The barn also has kitchen area with a large fridge, utility sink and tons of counter space. One of our favorite parts about the barn is that it doesn't have to be enclosed! They built this barn to be able to have the most spectacular views from being inside! All of the sides and back of the barn open up and look out to the pasture which is a remarkable view with the sunset and horse's running through the pasture.
This venue includes beautiful clear chiavari chairs, Rustic round tables seats 8 and 10 guest per table, unique antique pieces perfect for your gift/ card table and even an antique secretary desk that was perfect for our guest book! It was so nice not needing to rent any furniture or pieces for our wedding and saved a ton!
Last the hospitality, communication and kindness of the owners, Daryl & Alan really sets this venue apart from most wedding venues. They went above and beyond for us on making our day so special!

Angela G. Sent on 10/23/2023Beautiful venue with great owners!
Our wedding was beautiful and ran so smoothly! If you want breathtaking photos, book this venue. The owners are very accommodating and have great communication throughout the entire process. They also allow you to have your rehearsal there and you can drop your decor off the day before the wedding and pick everything up the day after which was a huge time saver and stress reliever! They also have an incredible list of recommended vendors that made our wedding amazing. We definitely recommend this venue! -
