a month agoA seriously stunning wedding venue with the best owner and event team! Karen and her staff make sure your wedding/event goes on without a hitch, and they offer so many great services + guidance throughout your wedding planning experience. The barn is spacious with so many beautiful spots for photos inside and out. The patio has a beautiful fireplace which is great for cocktail hour, late night hangs during the reception, or as your ceremony backdrop (my favorite!). This is one of my absolute favorite wedding venues to photograph at! It’s a joy any time I’m able to be at Lavender Oaks Farm!

a week agoWe made the best wedding decision by choosing Lavender Oaks Farm as our venue. Our wedding was in October of this year and we’re still on cloud nine! We had planned and booked a wedding abroad but due to events outside our control we had to completely pivot. That’s when we found Karen and Lavender Oaks. She took my wife under her wing and made her feel like everything was going to be ok. She even came up to NYC during the planning process and took us out to lunch. Wedding planning can be overwhelming but Karen is a consummate professional. When you book at her venue, Karen will be your wedding planner and connect with you with the best team of vendors in the Triangle. The venue itself is a styled after a European chateau with lofty ceilings, natural light, and sprawling grounds to walk on. You can choose from a few different ceremony locations including a pavilion barn, fireplace patio, or gazebo. We chose the pavilion barn and it was perfect for our wedding size of 115. Another selling point for Lavender Oaks is that the start and end times on wedding day are flexible. She opens the venue for the bridal party early in the morning and will accommodate your desired end time. We chose to keep our party going till midnight! Karen, thank you for everything! We can’t wait to visit next time we’re in North Carolina! (Bonus pic of Karen comforting my very stressed out fiancée during wedding week)

5 months agoAs a wedding photographer, I absolutely adore this venue. The second you step on to the property, you feel a sense of serenity and calm. It is such a picturesque location with a historic barn, that is reminiscent of a European chateau, and 60 acres of lavender plants, a pond, open fields, and a forest! Every angle is beautiful, and as the owner of Timmester Photography, I love photographing weddings and couples at this location! On top of that, the staff at Lavender Oaks is absolutely lovely. They greet you with so much warmth that you feel like you're being welcomed in to their home for the weekend. They are courteous, professional, experienced and absolutely on top of everything. You will feel well taken care of by the owner, Karen, and her accomplished team. Lavender Oaks is a magical location in Chapel Hill. You will feel like you have discovered a secret oasis just a few minutes outside of town, and you will love every second of your time there. I highly recommend!

a month agoWhere do I begin to describe this wonderful Venue? First of all, the Venue is just absolutely beautiful all season long. If I could give 10+ stars I would! Not only the beautiful surroundings will have you impressed, but it’s who you will be working with that will exceed your expectations! As the Mother of the Groom, I was given the task to find a local wedding Venue because the original plans had fallen through. Then, I stumbled upon this amazing treasure! Karen took my son and his bride “under her wing” from the very beginning when she learned that their original Venue had fallen through. I watched the process from start to finish and knew we would be so happy with our decision to choose Lavender Oaks Farm. Most of our guests were from out of town and everyone loved the wedding. It was the best day ever! Thank you Karen and your whole team for going over and beyond! You truly are the best!
