Our experience of having our wedding at October Oaks was beyond words! The location is of course breath taking, but one of the most incredible parts of October Oaks that makes it so so amazing is the owner of the venue, Ann. She is without a doubt one of the most caring sweet people there is. She will make sure your wedding goes exactly how you picture it. Sheâs beyond just the owner of the venue, she will make sure your wedding is absolutely perfect! She cares so much about making sure your wedding is the wedding of your dreams. The whole wedding was exactly how I pictured it and more. Just a truly truly amazing night! The whole venue is so beautiful! It looks like it is out of a fairy tail! Reviewed on 04-12-2023

The picturesque setting of October Oaks provided a breathtaking backdrop for our celebration. The lush surroundings and well-maintained grounds added a touch of natural elegance to the entire event. Ann's expertise and personal touch were evident in every aspect, from the seamless coordination to the thoughtful decor choices that complemented the venue's inherent beauty.One notable aspect was the warmth and hospitality we received from Ann and her family. Their genuine care and commitment ensured that not only the venue but the entire experience felt personalized and meaningful. The level of professionalism and dedication to making our day perfect truly stood out.Furthermore, the facilities were top-notch, accommodating our needs seamlessly. The well-designed layout and amenities contributed to the comfort of our guests, making the celebration enjoyable for everyone.In retrospect, October Oaks is more than just a venue; it's a haven where dreams are brought to life.

10/10. Simple as that, book this venue!!! The staff is incredible. Working with Ann made our wedding day easy and stress free. The venue is stunning, clean and spacious. The Mather family should take great pride in their beautiful venue! Itâs was everything I wanted and more Reviewed on 23-10-2023
Kim Denault(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-04-2023 I am going to put this into words as best I canâŠ. If you tour this venue BOOK THIS VENUE!! My now husband and I toured October Oaks 1 year prior to our wedding date.. this was the 5th venue we toured. I was starting to freak out.. I had enjoyed several that we toured prior to here but he just hadnât felt any of them were THE ONE.. until October Oaks. We toured with Michael and right before we got into the truck to head back home he said âwe will be calling you to book our date.â October Oaks was THE ONE. It was the most magical place to get married and I already want to do it again! From day 1 Ann has been amazing. She stays calm, she talks you through everything, she gives recommendations and suggestions when you feel overwhelmed, and she runs a tight ship!!!! Wedding day went FLAWLESSLY. I would hands down recommend October Oaks for ANYONEâS special day. You feel like family from the moment you meet Ann and Michael. We have gotten so much positive feedback from our guests from the location to the beautiful scenery to the bridal cabin to the gorgeous barn.. I could not have envisioned a more beautiful or perfect day. You will NOT regret getting married in the wonderful world of October Oaks.. âour bubbleâ became palpable to everyone in attendance at our wedding day and I know without a day yours can too. It is simply magical. Reviewed on 07-04-2023
Ashley Nelson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-09-2022 Wow is the first thing that comes to mind. There are so many wonderful ceremony sites at this venue, but we elected to go with the outdoor âroomâ created by trees and it was truly magical. Iâve been told by many in attendance that it was one of the most beautiful sites theyâd seen between the land and barn. The on site area for bride and party to get ready was the perfect space and absolutely adorable. The barn also was plenty large enough for our wedding and Photo Booth and DJ and even a game area. And while the venue was perfect, Ann was really the one that put this venue over the top. Ann really listened to us wanting some help but also having a lot of personal touches. She made sure we thought of everything since sheâd also double as our Day of Coordinator. I honestly didnât have to stress about the flow of the night because Ann was there early to make sure everything was going right and all the vendors showed up on time. You can tell the moment you step on site the heart that Ann has for this place and it just radiates through to a perfect day. In addition, Ann allows you to look through a ton of decor and use it on your wedding day which saved us so much money overall. We literally sent a list over and all of the stuff was pulled out when we got there early to set up. We also were able to drop off our personal decorations at our rehearsal making the day of a breeze. It took me a while to get to writing this due to life getting busy, but even at this point there is just no doubt in my mind that this venue is levels above many. If you are looking at having an outdoor or AC barn wedding, Iâd recommend giving this place and look and discuss your vision with Ann. She will provide so many options on how the venue can work best for you. Thank you Ann for making us feel like family and helping us have our perfect day! Reviewed on 15-03-2023
Alejandra Chaparro(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-11-2022 WOW!! Where to even begin... from the first interaction that I had with the owner Ann, I knew my heart was \" Home \". Ann is the kindest and sweetest person you could ever imagine and want alongside you during the planning process. When looking for a venue, it was a top priority for my now husband and I to have a venue that was dog friendly. Not just as in they were allowed in... but more so as if they were loved and WANTED there. We felt the love ann had for animals, especially dogs and we knew this was it!!! We wanted our dogs to partake in the best day of our life, and they did just that :) COMMUNICATION.. it was amazing!! Seriously, she would email back so kind and informative time after time so FAST, no matter how small or insignificant my questions were, I was always put at peace. I never ever had to stress on communication throughout the entire process, and as a bride thats all you could ever dream of. Lets talk about her decor inventory! Another of the many perks this venue has. I used her arch, tables, chairs, and lots of decor, which saved us so much money. She has an album on her venue facebook page that shows lots of her decor to check out. As we know weddings are very expensive but it was so nice to be able to use so much of her decor. She even has a greenery wall which we ended up buying a neon sign and adding it as a prop. There is also giant jenga, corn hole, you name it! The venue.. its seriously magical and sooooo beautiful. Go see it for yourself .. you will see! So many places for gorgeous pictures, my videographer and photographer had never shot at this venue and they LOVEDDD it! Also, lets mention how the venue includes a bartender and allows you to purchase and bring your own alcohol! That was yet another money saving hack! We were so happy and so happy with the bartender and drinks! Lastly, the day off the wedding. Ann and her ENTIRE team were the best \" well oiled machine\" is the best way to describe it. They were a power house! They all had roles and were so amazing at each. They always ensured our needs and happiness were above all. They were attentive, they were kind, and efficient. Our day ran so smoothly and it was thanks to this team. My husband and I were amazed trully about how every individual in her team was just so great!! They truly took care of us. They were a family to us and we will forever be so thankful that our paths crossed and that we chose them Reviewed on 19-01-2023
Megan Bortolus(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-10-2022 I cannot express how thankful I am that we chose October Oaks for our venue. Ann and her team were the most genuine and helpful crew out there. Even with a hurricane hitting days before our wedding, she made sure she did everything she could to ensure it was on still. Our guests were so impressed with how nice the property was and the beautiful views (especially sunset).Ann as the coordinator made sure that everything went without a hitch and answered all questions we had since we did all planning by ourselves. She kept in contact with all of our vendors to make sure that there was not surprises the day of the wedding and made sure they were all at the venue when they were supposed to be. She communicated with us so well throughout the wedding and made sure we knew about everything going on and gave us multiple updates throughout the night.Our florals were canceled due to the hurricane and Meagan (Ann's daughter) kindly pulled any florals they had on site to help spruce up what we were able to find short notice. This was a life saver!We also hired Michael (Ann's husband) who owns Michael J Cuisine and what a success that was. He was so attentive and talked with all guests to ensure everyone was well fed and happy with their meals. Even weeks later, people are still talking about the food (especially his mushroom sauce!). I highly recommend hiring him for the catering. All in all, we couldn't be happier with our choice of picking October Oaks and would do so again! Reviewed on 10-10-2022
Kat Sawicki(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-03-2022 Not only is this venue gorgeous, but Ann is amazing! She goes above and beyond to help make sure your day is special, perfect, and beautiful. She worked with us when COVID hit and she really helped to make sure our wedding ceremony flowed perfectly. The added suggestions to help create more amazing memorable moments, easy communication, and the execution of everything is what makes this the best venue and vendor! I canât say enough about Ann and her team. I will say that Ann is more than just a vendor she is like family to us! Thank you for everything! Reviewed on 15-03-2022
Seas Your Day Events(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-01-2022 Anne and her team were outstanding! From the final walkthrough to the rehearsal to the breakdown and cleanup, she was there every step of the way with the biggest smile on her face. You can tell how passionate she is about her couples and her property! She made everyone feel like part of the family and made for an amazing atmosphere and experience for the entire wedding process. I highly recommend you go check out Anne and October Oaks! Reviewed on 07-02-2022
Bride B(bride)2 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-10-2021 Pros: The barn and surrounding areas are BEAUTIFUL. Cons: It was not a good or enjoyable experience. We wanted to get pictures with the chair set up since we had memorial stuff for late family members - by the time the guests had cleared out of the ceremony site everything was already cleaned up so we couldn't get those pictures. I had to climb in the back of a side by side to go to picture locations (while I appreciated the ride, it wasn't the cleanest and I was afraid to get my dress dirty). The contract states that you have 2 hours AFTER the reception for your vendors to collect rented items- I was questioned at 10pm when our vendors would be there to pick up rented items, when I responded with 10:45 she was flabbergasted and said that wasnât acceptable since she closes the gate at 10 (keep in mind our reception ended at 10pm so guests would still be leaving). At our 4 week meeting we were told that someone would be there to HELP us set up (not do it all for us which we understood since its more of a DIY place but we expected at least someone to be able to HELP) yet the young lady that was there was too busy cleaning up from the wedding the night before ours to offer any sort of assistance. Overall I understand that they run a business. But maybe consider since everything is diy not having weddings both Friday night and Saturday night and give the brides on Saturday time to set up Friday night. Not everyone can afford a planner or someone to do everything for them. Reviewed on 31-01-2022
Kara Orris(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-06-2021 I can't say enough about how beautiful October Oaks Farm is for a wedding venue! There pricing is incredible for what you get as well. There are many different locations on the property to have your ceremony and the barn being air conditioned is a huge bonus. I have never seen a wedding venue where so much is included in the pricing. They allow you to use their items for decorations if wanted (saves a lot of money), they are so very flexible with you bringing in/using your own vendors, and the fact that the the Bridal Cabin is available all day to the bridal party makes it a very special day/time with those in your wedding party.The staff is AMAZING!!! They are so completely dedicated to making it the most special day for the wedding couple. It was a wonderful and stress free day as they took care of need, want, desire, last minute change, etc. with gracious and loving attitudes.I really can't stress enough how wonderful the staff and venue are.

Brianna Keen(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-04-2021 October Oaks was beyond breathtaking. They helped make the entire wedding process easy. They have several areas where you can choose to have your ceremony and have different arches as a backdrop. I was fortunate for my wedding day because Michael and Ann built a new Rockwall to add to their collection of places to take photos at. The venue had several decorations, centerpieces, cake tables, couches, props, etc., to use for Free to make the venue your own. I didn't have to worry about paying out of pocket for any of it. Ann was an outstanding wedding planner; everything went smoothly during my wedding because of her. They had provided a pamphlet with vendors in the area to help make the search easier when finding a DJ, photographer, or bakery. She made sure to talk through how the whole ceremony would go down and kept everything running on time. Ann was an absolute sweetheart and would go out of her way to make sure your wedding would be stress-free. Michael and Ann made everyone feel like family. Reviewed on 30-11-2021

The venue and barn is beautiful and we were able to use lots of decor that is there. On the day of the wedding Ann is the day of coordinator that thinks of every little detail.

Ann was so responsive and understanding, helping us to postpone without any fee or issue, not just once but three times (due to Covid and border closures)! As others have mentioned, the venue is gorgeous and allows for outside catering and alcohol to help maintain your budget. One of the biggest reasons I fell in love with this place was that I knew I wouldn't have to put much effort in decorating to make the wedding look beautiful. They have plenty of decor to borrow and the barn alone is already perfect. The team is incredible. Ann coordinated day of and really came through. It started raining 30 minutes before the outdoor ceremony was to begin and she seamlessly moved everything indoors. Many guests said that plan B seemed like plan A. The bartender Garrett was helpful and had such a good handle on maintaining our alcohol supply, organizing it so we could easily take home what was left over.

Cher Stanley(parent)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-11-2020 I am reviewing as not only the Mother of the Bride, but as the planner who loves detail. My daughter got engaged in May 2018 and knew for a long time she wanted a woodsy feel to her ceremony. Between the 2 of us, we spent countless hours looking online at venues, knowing right away if they were a no, often checking out a spot 3-4x. We narrowed down our list and made a day plan to check some out in person. OO was the 1st stop and we felt the need to go no further, but did since we already had it planned. Arriving, you feel as though you are far away, and in some ways you are, from quite a bit. BUT not to far to accommodate guests staying over. The look of the venue is perfect for a photographer (my hobby and sometimes side gig) because their are NO eye sores. Ann, the owner, has looked from every angle to make sure no custom created area, on the property, has been thought about. From the cute little house covering some sort of water system, to the hidden refrigerator in the bridal cabin. Fast forward to 2020, and the year for the wedding. All during this crazy time, Ann was an organized, responsive, calm in my storm. She goes above and beyond, understanding your vision and making sure it happens. Although I hired some âday ofâ assistance, Ann did most of that job. She understood my need to control some things, and my desire to be a part of others, while encouraging me to enjoy the day with my daughter. What I loved about the day was the options of not having to stay in a stuffy room. The ceremony location was a dream! PERFECT! The cocktail hour area was accommodating to everyone, and made people less worried about social distancing because they were outside and could move about. The reception area, my daughter wanted farmhouse style long tables. We ended up with 3 rows of 5 tables end to end for guests. We had plenty of room between the rows and, if we had to, enough room to dance inside if needed. It was not. Outside we had a photo area using OO stock - a beautiful couch, 2 chairs, a rug and our triangle arch that my husband made. When the night was ending, a number of people mentioned the stars. The stars! The sky was lit with the brightest stars! Oh and we had 3 deer show up, 1 during cocktail hour and 2 shortly after, just roaming the field (my little nephew said they were on the âhillâ). Ann was amazing. In the time since we booked the venue and had the wedding, improvements were made and I didnât even think any were needed. The bar was rebuilt, new doors made for the bride to walk through, the landscaping changed. Things that I saw as enough, Ann and her husband saw as an area they could make better. Speaking of her husband, see him for the most AMAZING, talked about food (he is the famous Michael you may read about in many other reviews). I cannot say enough about this venue and although it has only been a few days since the 11/14/20 wedding, so many, and I mean so many, guests said it was the best spot - wedding they have been to. I cannot agree more. Reviewed on 01-12-2020

Tari Ayala(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-03-2019 When Tim and I first set foot on the land October Oaks sits on we knew it was where we would be married. The serenity of the space and the warmth and gentle kindness Ann shared with us as she showed us her beautiful property was something you just donât feel in many venues (we did not feel it anywhere else we visited)! Coupled with that it was clear Ann really knew and cared about how each wedding she hosts is run. The level of thought put into all the of the details throughout the bridal cabin and barn makes for such an elevated yet grounded event, just what we were going for on such a special occasion.

From the first tour, to the four week meeting, to the rehearsal, to the day-of, Ann (who coordinates day-of) was there every step of the way. She responds quickly to emails; no question is too silly! They made us feel like we were the only bride and groom they worked with- never felt like we were just another couple. Ann made sure the day ran perfectly and it did. Michaelâs catering was raved about at our wedding, and he was so easy to work with and made everything so seamless. With Ann and Michael, there was NO worries about how the day ran. It was perfect. They made sure to say goodbye and we made new friends during this whole process.Now, to the actual venue. It. Is. Stunning. As soon as we drove into OO, we knew it was the one. Our guests raved how beautiful it is. It truly felt like a dream. Ann also has a lot of wonderful decor that you are able to use, which saved us a lot of money! You are also able to bring your own alcohol as well!!! I felt like a princess that day in the special bridal suite tiny house for my bridesmaids and I. Wish I could say even more, but all I can say is, please book October Oaks for your wedding. It was everything we ever dreamed. Thank you, Ann and Michael! We love you guys! Reviewed on 11-02-2019
Mikaela Bracken(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-10-2018 Where do I start? I canât imagine having had my wedding anywhere else. Not only is October Oaks the most GORGEOUS outdoor venue in Florida but, you also get to work with the owner/day of coordinator Ann, who is the sweetest woman youâll ever meet. Her and her husband, Michael, own and built (by hand) this incredible barn and will give you the wedding more amazing than you can imagine. From day one Ann was so approachable and so incredibly knowledgable. I planned my wedding without a wedding planner and I would have been lost if it werenât for her. I emailed her countless times over the course of my two year planning process and each time she was so prompt, helpful, and kind in her responses. She and Michael have thought of everything in creating this venue and it is absolutely stunning. Not only that but from the time of our rehearsal the night before to the moment we left at the end of our reception they took care of everything and not a single detail was forgotten. Our entire wedding day went off without a hitch, which I thought would be impossible. You can feel how much they truly care about each couple and each wedding and it shows in their beautiful work. Ann, Michael, and their wonderful venue, October Oaks, are truly the best at what they do and I could not recommend them more highly! Reviewed on 14-12-2018
Taryn Nerenberg(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-12-2018 Itâs so hard to put into words just how incredible our experience was with October Oaks was. My husband and I just got married there on December 7th. Since the first day we looked at the venue, we were in love! Itâs a beautiful scenery with a majestic and romantic barn that you can tell the owners put a lot of love in. Speaking of the owners, Michael and Ann Mather are truly gems. They were so helpful through the whole wedding process and such wonderful people. When you are there, you feel like family. They both did everything in their power to ensure that our wedding ran smoothly and we didnât have to worry about anything. I HIGHLY recommend October Oaks for any coupe looking for a wedding venue. We will never forget our wedding day, but also, we will never forget our experience with the Mathers. P.S: If you do end up booking with them, you HAVE to have Michael cater your wedding. The mushroom sauce was a huge hit!! Reviewed on 10-12-2018
Fred Langer(professional)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-12-2015 I was the DJ for our friends' daughter's wedding at October Oaks in December 2015. The location is storybook charming with open pasture and gorgeous oak trees. The barn is custom built for events (A/C, heat, and rustic decorated restrooms!) and even has chandeliers. The owners are also phenomenal chefs and served up a delicious dinner for 200 people. And I appreciated the dance floor strung with Edison lights as the music went up and the sun went down. Who knew such a country gem was so close to Orlando? Reviewed on 30-10-2018
Windy Allen(parent)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-10-2018 My daughterâs wedding was absolutely perfect thanks to this beautifully built and wonderfully run venue. Ann and Michael were a dream to work with and I canât thank them enough for providing such stellar service and delicious food. It was the most delicious wedding food I have ever had. I canât wait for several years down the road when my next two daughters are ready to be married because they want to have their weddings here too! Love love this place!†Reviewed on 29-10-2018

Two things you should know about October Oaks. First, this is a family-run business that puts your happiness above all else. You can feel confident that your budget and your vision remain intact, but also that these professionals will guide you every step of the way. (And the food is AMAZING!)Second, the location can't be beat. It has everything you need for your special pictures - water, trees, elegance, fun - whatever look your trying for, the location (and owners) can create it. If you don't believe me, check out the pictures of how they transformed the entire property to Hogswart! Reviewed on 29-10-2018
Emily Warkenthien(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-10-2018 My husband and I got married at October Oaks and our whole day was beyond perfect. Michael and Ann have thought of everything a bride and groom, families included, could possibly want for their big day. When we relive our wedding night, we both remember how attentive Ann was and how much fun Michael had while catering our wedding. They added such a great presence to our party and we couldnât have picked a better venue or couple to have memories with for the rest of our lives. Hands down the best venue for any wedding or event!

Their commitment to excellence and making the couple happy was noticed from the very beginning. Ann and Michael are kind, patient, and truly want your day to be perfect! I loved how the whole October Oaks team made us feel like family! The property is absolutely breath taking! I also loved being able to get ready on the property in the bridal suite.

Kellie Goetz(guest)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-10-2018 I attended a wedding in October at October Oaks. The venue was well kept, beautiful and clean! The staff was friendly and everything was well organized and exactly how it should be! One of my favorite parts was the sparkler ceremony at the end! There is plenty of room and the owners allow for the bride and groom to personalize their wedding according to their liking. The food was delicious especially the creamy mushroom gravy! The bartender was very nice although I think he could have used an extra hand at times! The officiant was very personable and it made for a special ceremony! All in all I would highly recommend this venue to future bride and grooms Reviewed on 24-10-2018

Meredith Johnson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-03-2017 October Oaks is an absolutely amazing venue! Ann and Michael Mather go out of their way to make sure your day is everything and more that you've dreamed it to be. Extremely responsive to emails and phone calls. They are genuine and kind and make you feel like you are family. The venue is gorgeous! Spacious for big or small weddings and it is the perfect combination of classy, romantic and rustic. The bridal cabin is so fun to spend the day getting ready with your girls. Bring... in lunch and just relax! So many options for ceremony sites throughout the property and of course the barn is absolutely breathtaking and makes for a perfect reception! We are so blessed to have had our wedding here and HIGHLY recommend booking them for any couple looking for the perfect place to have their wedding.

Daffnee Cohen(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-02-2018 Where to begin? There are so many things to positively say about this venue and even more so about Ann and Michael. I may be biased, but to say the day was perfect is an understatement. The venue was breathtaking, well kept, and made for the most gorgeous photos I've ever seen. We used Michael's catering company and are STILL getting comments on how incredible the food was months later. It was delectable. Ann is a warm soul who genuinely cares about every single wedding and every single bride. She never rushed us, was overly responsive, and truly was present in every aspect of our wedding. She is a light and we are still thanking the universe for finding her. October Oaks was the first venue we visited and I knew the second I pulled in it was the one. We visited a few venues afterwards just for fun and there were endless restrictions that October Oaks didn't have. We were able to do our sparkler exit, bring our own alcohol, etc. That alone saved us thousands. We cannot recommend this venue enough. It's a special thing to have been married here and I welcome you to this club! It's a day to never forget and one that still brings tears of joy to my eyes. Reviewed on 22-10-2018
Susan Izquierdo(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-03-2018 If youâre looking for a venue where the owners, management and employees are fully devoted to your special day, October Oaks Farm might be what youâre looking for. We recently got married there and our experience could not have been any better! Ann (the owner) and her staff were fully dedicated to making sure each planned event during the course of the day went off without a hitch. And when it rained on our wedding day they made the adjustments so seamlessly that it felt like it was planned! I have worked in the food service industry for almost 15 years and Annâs husband Michael is one of the best caterers weâve ever experienced! He and his team made sure that we, the bride and groom, were able to experience and enjoy every single bite of the selections we made for all of our guests! Throughout our wedding day our guests would not stop complementing us about how good the food was! Some of our guests said they had been to many weddings but never actually tasted good âwedding foodâ. October oaks farm is one of the best family owned and operated venues for any event, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking to plan a big event or even something small.

Ann is the face of October Oaks! She dreamt of having a venue where brides could feel at home and could feel valued. She works harder than anyone I've ever met, and she cares for her brides like she cares for her own children. She will move heaven and earth to make sure that your day is as perfect as possible! Any girl would be lucky to have Ann host her wedding day at October Oaks!
