Lavender Oaks

Located on 60-acres just outside of Chapel Hill, this lavender farm is the home to historic barns and other rustic locations for both indoor and outdoor ceremonies. Whether your wedding will take place in their Pavilion Barn, under the arched white gazebo, or in front of the brick outdoor hearth, each site is surrounded by nature and fields of lavender. Karen MacDonald, the owner, is a talented designer and serves as the planner and artist who can take care of creating invitations, welcome signs, and all of the extra flourishes.
