You are welcome to bring in your own vendors (caterers must be approved by Oak Hill Farm)! We will also provide with our list of recommended vendors in the area from florists to photographers to caterers & more. Oak Hill does not provide any food or beverage but we do provide licensed bartenders and bar supplies.

In order to confirm a date at Oak Hill, we require a signed contract and $1500 retainer fee. Additional items such as the officiant, rehearsal, carriage, antique car, etc. can be added after the initial contract is signed.

Our package fee includes many options of tables, reception chairs, dance floor, lighting and bar (not beverages) are included in our package fee. We are happy to offer complimentary coordination of linen and china rental for you through our preferred vendors but you can also rent these items on your own as needed (some caterers include china in their packages). We also have reclaimed wood “harvest tables” that are an additional fee! Check out our gallery of Design Elements – many are included in our package fee at no additional charge.

There is no guest minimum for any of our packages. Unlike most venues, our prices vary according to your guest count.

Unlike most wedding facilities, you are welcome to provide your own wine, beer, champagne, liquor and soft drinks at Oak Hill. Please remember that the savings on the bar costs alone are huge! We are happy to set up the bar for you and serve your beverages (with a hired licensed bartender that we provide). We do require a certificate of Host Liquor Liability from you – contact us for more details.

Catering fees and other vendor fees are priced separately from the Oak Hill Farm package fee. Our package fee covers use of all the grounds at Oak Hill, as well as the Chapel, the Barn, Schoolhouse, Country Store, and Fire Pit for your guests to enjoy. Also included are the pavilion, tables, chairs, dance floor, bar, lighting and many design elements. Additional items can be added on as you wish! Email us for a sample invoice with all options available at Oak Hill!

We love what we do and it shows! Oak Hill is not only a wedding venue but also our home. Three generations of our family have poured our hearts and souls into the property. We believe that details make all the difference. Oak Hill offers unparalled amenities and a ton of flexibility with customizable reservation times, your choice of vendors, and the ability to bring in your own alcohol. We welcome new ideas and strive to make your experience one that you and your guests will never forget.

Yes, we have a walk-in cooler to accommodate those items and a dedicated cooler for caterers. We also have a double kegerator at the bar located in the reception tent.

Our ending time (for music, bar, etc) is 11pm. We encourage couples to customize their reservation as they wish and schedule their day according to the timeline they envision.
