Lavender Oaks Farm was the perfect venue for us! Karen, the venue owner, worked closely with us throughout the whole process. She went above and beyond to make our day and all the details prior fit our wants and needs. There were several issues with our vendors on our day (to clarify: outside of Lavender Oaks and not their from their list of recommendations), but Karen handled them so well, that we didn't even know until the next day. Karen took the vision we had for our wedding and made it come to life. Her and her staff helped my family enjoy the planning process and the wedding because we knew we could trust Karen to take care of the details. The venue was designed with you and your guests in mind. Lavender Oaks considered every detail, not limited to: guest flow through the space, entertainment activities during cocktail hour and the reception, snacks for the day of and rehearsal, even down to a replacing a slightly dim lightbulb behind the head table. Truly, words c... Read moreannot recommend this venue and team enough. We were highly satisfied with our experience. Karen and her team treat you like their own family. We are so glad we chose them for our venue.

Words cannot express how wonderful Karen and her team is at Lavender Oaks Farm. From the second we set foot on her beautiful property, we felt welcomed, taken care of and listened to. Karen is warm, thoughtful, beyond talented and walks you and your partner through the ENTIRE wedding process in a non stressful way. The venue has endless options for ceremony and reception options. Karen offers her talents in graphic design and planning, she meets with you at regular intervals to make sure planning, budgets and decisions are on track. Not to mention she feeds you delicious snacks, and will never let you leave empty handed (lots of lavender goodies from the gift shop!) On top of how amazing she is under regular circumstances, when our wedding date was compromised due to COVID, she reached out to us multiple times to help us make tough decisions. She supported us unconditionally and helped us have a small ceremony and dinner at the venue on our original date AND reschedule our planned wedd...

She even put together a small bouquet/boutonnière, table decorations, and had her daughter bake us the best chocolate cake I have ever had for our dessert. Talk about going above and beyond for her clients. We were speechless, and so grateful. My husband and I feel like part of her family and we cannot WAIT to celebrate next year. This venue and Karen are well worth the price! I would recommend Lavender Oaks Farm to anyone and everyone considering!!

Working with Karen at Lavender Oaks Farm was one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning process. That was so incredibly clear that we kept saying it to each other in the months leading up to the wedding. She and her husband are incredibly hard-working, thoughtful, and just great people to work with. The first day we toured the farm Karen pronounced my wife’s Turkish name correctly. She had taken the time in advance of meeting us to ask a Turkish friend how to pronounce it in order to get it right. This is something that no other wedding vendor we worked with did. From there onwards, Karen made us feel so well taken care of. She replied to emails promptly, patiently walked us through the various steps of wedding planning (many of which were news to us!) and went out of her way to help us execute our vision for our wedding weekend. In addition to Karen and her husband, the venue itself is a joy and a beauty. We had our ceremony outside facing the fireplace mantel... Read more and the lovely tall trees behind it. The lavender fields are gorgeous, the barn is warm and inviting and scented with lavender, and the outdoor shelter makes for an extra special place for a cocktail hour after the ceremony. Unlike at other venues, we had access to the entire venue for the entirety of the weekend. We were able to drop things off during the week before the wedding, set up decor and have the rehearsal there on Friday, and pick things up on Sunday rather than trying to do it all the day of the wedding. This flexibility was so worthwhile and allowed us to actually enjoy the weekend. We can’t recommend Lavender Oaks enough as a wedding venue. Unfortunately, a family emergency prevented Karen from being there in person the day of our wedding. While we were so sad at the time because Karen was such a big part of why we chose the venue, she more than made up for it by hiring us (free of charge) a very talented day-of-coordinator, Jessica, who had experience working at Lavender Oaks. She also worked with our other vendors to ensure they took care of us extra well on our big day. Plus her husband, Mr. Lavender, was there to keep everything running smoothly on the farm the day of. We can’t imagine having gotten married anywhere else other than Lavender Oaks!

Lavender Oaks is a wonderful place to have a wedding. It has so many options for where you want to have a ceremony, cocktail hour and seating. Karen, the owner, is so kind and will go out of her way to make sure your wedding day is so special. She includes so many things when you book her barn and it won't disappoint you or your guests. They have a full kitchen which your catering staff will love and the bridal suite is wonderful to hangout in with all your friends before it all gets real!

Our wedding at Lavender oaks was a dream! Karen was great to work with, and the detail and decorations her and her team put together were wonderful. The barn + lavender farm makes for an incredibly beautiful venue that neither we nor our guests will forget!

Lavender Oaks Farm is a gorgeous venue - every detail so well thought out. There is not one thing that I would change! But, even better than the perfect venue is Karen and Robert - they are the owners who designed and built the venue and are the nicest couple you will ever meet. They were so wonderful to us. They helped to make our daughter's wedding a dream come true for her. We are so grateful to have met them. I cannot say enough about how fabulous they are.

Getting married at Lavender Oaks Farm was one of the easiest and best decisions we made during the wedding planning process. It is an absolutely gorgeous place -- beautiful historic barns set back from the road on a peaceful lavender farm. In addition to the beautiful venue, we felt so supported during the entire wedding planning process. Karen and Robert are truly wonderful. We were also very lucky to have had Karen as our day-of coordinator -- and things couldn't have gone smoother! We are incredibly grateful to have gotten married at Lavender Oaks Farm, and to have been able to share this farm with our family and friends. Everyone still tells us how much they loved the location of our wedding! Being on a lavender farm definitely provides a unique aspect that guests really love. Highly recommend!

Just at a glance, Lavender Oaks Farm is a breathtaking, relaxing sight with rows upon rows of lavender, historic barns, cabins, and ponds. But, when you actually spend time in the barns and in the fields, noticing all of the details and history behind the entire venue, you are sure to fall head over heels--just like we did! The owners are an absolute pleasure to work with. They not only have a passion for weddings/special events and lavender, but they also have an exuding passion for making sure the special day is just how you want it. Karen, the owner and all-things-events guru, is so professional and detail-oriented that the process, a usually stressful one, seems to be effortless. She provides you with so many recommendations, pictures/swatches for inspiration, and is always open for visits, emails, and meetings to discuss the day. Because this venue doesn't require you to have certain vendors, you're free to do your own research and choose who you want to be a part of the special d... Read moreay! But, if you need help, Karen provides direction! When you book a wedding at Lavender Oaks, you get so much more than a place to say "I do," you get all the little things you may not think of right away--the tables, chairs, some centerpiece pieces, linens, a lovely bridal suite, and more! Karen is also a talented graphic designer--just another hidden, valuable part of the entire experience! The day-of: Karen was so helpful the day-of making sure all was running smoothly. I had no worries or doubts that things wouldn't be in the right spot. It was a magical day. All my guests raved about how beautiful and unique the venue was. This place is what dreams are made of! I couldn't recommend Lavender Oaks more!

My expectations were surpassed again and again throughout the planning process. She is extremely detail oriented and truly an expert at her craft. Due to Hurricane Florence, my husband and I were forced to relocate our wedding a week out from our scheduled date. Luckily, Lavender Oaks Farm had a change in schedule ... Read moreand was able to accommodate our last-minute request. Karen and Robert helped us plan our dream wedding in six days. (Yes, that’s right- SIX DAYS!) There’s no way we could have pulled this off without Lavender Oaks Farm and their dedication to our special day. They are a pillar in the Chapel Hill community, evident by their ability to pull together various vendors we needed last minute. The venue was beautifully decorated with a combination of our personal decorations and the inventory of decorations they keep on site for brides. Karen has great taste and it was comforting to know I could count on her to bring our dream to life. It’s hard to give this review the justice Lavender Oaks Farm deserves. There is such a special place in our hearts for this amazing family and we have nothing but wonderful things to say. We look back at our wedding photos with such fond memories, all thanks to Lavender Oaks Farm. Without their dedication and willingness to go above and beyond, our wedding would not have happened on schedule. Please do yourself a favor and book Lavender Oaks Farm for your wedding- you will not be disappointed!

Reserving Lavender Oaks Farm for our wedding ceremony and reception was the best decision my husband and I made in our year long wedding planning process. The site is incredibly beautiful with its elegant rustic charm both inside and out. There are many lovely spots around the barn and surrounding lavender fields for incredible photographs and the unique space allowed us to host multiple events throughout our wedding wèekend. What makes this venue so very special are the owners, Karen and Robert. They are dedicated to making their farm, your farm, for your friends and family to enjoy and make lifelong memories. From the moment we began planning they were exceptionally warm, enthusiastic, and accommodating to all of our ideas for our dream wedding. The plan for our winter wedding was to be married on the stone patio in front of their iron gazebo overlooking the lavender fields, but eight inches of snow fell on Wednesday night. Panic could have ensued but Karen and Robert assured us al... Read morel would be fine, and it was! Our weekend exceeded all of our dreams! We began our weekend with the rehearsal dinner and band for our one hundred guests to dance to. The roaring fire outside and s'mores bar created by Karen drew our guests outside to enjoy a rare Carolina snowscape. My husband stayed with his best man in one of the rustic cabins, overlooking a beautiful pond onsite, allowing him some personal guy time before our big day. Our wedding day arrived with the ground covered in snow and ice. Karen and Robert did not flinch as they moved our wedding ceremony inside. My nine bridesmaids and I arrived by ten Saturday morning to spend the day in the absolutely gorgeous bridal suite. We were pampered, we danced, we partied until it was time to walk down the isle. I was awed by the transition of the barn to a magical place that had only existed in my dreams. Karen and Robert took all of my personal ideas and dreams and made them a reality. Our wedding was truly a dream come true!
