Woodshed Bar
The quaint aesthetic of our Woodshed Bar, used during cocktail hour, combines rustic charm with a touch of creativity and adds a layer of character to the setting. The weathered wood and string lights provides a cozy ambiance for your guests to enjoy.
Country Store
Step into the past as you encounter a meticulously recreated 1800s general store at this wedding, radiating charm and vintage allure. Nestled within the event venue, the store stands as a nostalgic time capsule, offering a whimsical journey back to a simpler and more rustic era.
Barnhouse Suite
Step into the lovingly restored 1890 hay barn’s preparation suite, where rustic elegance meets modern comfort. The weathered beams and exposed brick walls weave tales of a century’s history, creating a warm and nostalgic ambiance. Antique and contemporary decor blend seamlessly, offering a charming space for the wedding party to relax before the ceremony. Soft sunlight filters through windows, casting a gentle glow on reclaimed hardwood floors and vintage furnishings.
The dressing area features vintage vanities and mirrors, bathed in ambient lighting for glamour and preparation. A meticulously restored hay loft serves as an elevated lounging area, adorned with comfy cushions and throw blankets, offering a panoramic view of the barn’s interior. This central focal point adds a layer of charm, creating a perfect spot for quiet reflection or celebratory toasts.
The Barnhouse Suite is a curated experience, harmonizing historic romance with modern comforts.

Creating a wedding to remember
To me, making a memory has a lot (okay, almost everything) to do with the details. When it comes to weddings, there are so many ways – and most of them are super simple – to make your day stand out. Here are the top five ideas that we love –
- Your choice of venue speaks the most about who you are as a couple and sets the tone for the party. Whether you are dreaming of a wooded wonderland, a ceremony overlooking the water or a simple white church on a hill, Oak Hill has you covered! If you like twinkle lights, this is your place.
- The snacks! Who doesn’t love a candy or popcorn buffet (super cute set up in our Country Store)?! Food trucks – yes, please! Coffee and donuts at 10:30pm? SIGN ME UP! There are so many ways to surprise and please your guests (and yourselves!). Provide s’more ingredients at the firepit, incorporate a family cookie recipe into your sweets table or provide candied apples in the schoolhouse. The possibilities are delicious!
- The drinks! Who doesn’t love an open bar? No one! Many couples who want to limit the alcohol provided choose to serve a few options of mixed drinks along with beer, wine and soft drinks. Other couples choose to provide everything under the sun and that’s fine too! Signature drinks are especially popular and often go with the Oak Hill’s theme of country elegance. We’ve even seen drink signs featuring our donkeys…Earl’s Choice and JoJo’s Choice!
- Personalizing a program with a timeline of the wedding day and adding a map of our venue goes a long way with guests. When couples are making the most of the various spaces at Oak Hill, it is helpful to include a map that describes what is happening when and where. Guests are much more likely to visit the Country Store, Schoolhouse and Firepit if they know what is featured in each location.
- Entertainment…even if dancing the night away is your vision, it may not be for every one of your guests. Offering a photobooth (stay tuned for our vintage camper soon to be unveiled!), the firepit, lawn games or even trivia on each table can be great ways to keep your guests engaged for the entire evening. Oh, and cue our miniature donkeys Earl & JoJo to add some special interest to your event!
Some additional ideas to add to the mix include…
- Welcome bags for your out of town guests
- Designing a seating chart to please
- Thinking of guests’ comfort; wraps and flip flops are always a hit
- Lounge areas in and out of the reception area (Oak Hill has plenty!)
- Charging stations throughout the venue
- Creating a wedding hashtag
- Skip traditions that don’t mean anything to you and maybe create something new!
