It's with a happy heart that I invite you to The White Barn at Lucas Farm. Matt and I own and operate a few businesses here in Oakland, Maryland that have helped us get where we are. The barn has always been a lifelong dream of mine and I was unsure if it would ever become more than that. Motivation, hard work, determination and our faith brought us to our forever farm.
Matt and I were both born and raised in Oakland! We are locals. We know the town, the people, the community. We have spent our lives building friendships and relationships with people all over this small, tight-knit place we call HOME.
In 2009, Matt and I purchased a bar and restaurant in Oakland, Maryland. We knew it was not going to be permanent, but it lead us to other business opportunities as well as new friends and contacts in the area. During the 6.5 years of ownership, we were able to learn, grow as a couple and as entrepreneurs in a small town. We organized some of the largest entertainment events in the area. We more than tripled our clientele and sales before we sold the business. As we started our family, we knew the bar life was not going to work with small children. We began working on our dream.
I opened a home decor business approximately six years ago and began traveling the east coast for shows and expos. Using my talent and eye for design, I was able to vend at shows such as The Country Living Fair, The Springfield Extravaganza, Luckett's Spring Market, The Rural Society, The Vintage Home Market and many others. No matter how many shows I've done and will continue to do, something always led me back to the idea of the barn. We toyed with the idea for years, before we finally decided the time was right.
In May 2016, Matt and I decided to purchase 40 acres in Red House. We purchased the farm from his parents that had been in the family dating back over 100 years. The 40 acres had been subdivided from the family farm in 2009. The fields were used for crops and to harvest sod for the family business. We always knew the landscape was picture-perfect and that the land was longing for something bigger. The picturesque views have always spoken for themselves. A sunrise that awakens the valley and a sunset that creates a beautiful, whimsical dream.
So here we are! A few years have passed, 3 beautiful daughters later, a couple sold homes/businesses and we're still here. Bringing our dream to life. Creating a magical place for people to tie the knot and start their lives together. There is nowhere else I'd rather be.
2018 was the first full wedding season at The White Barn. Hosting 33 weddings and 15 events, the year was packed with special moments and several awards!
The White Barn was awarded "Favorite Wedding Venue" by The Deep Creek Times. Another huge recognition was from The Knot, the number 1 wedding brand in the country. The White Barn won "Best of Weddings", which only the top 2% in the wedding industry are awarded. The White Barn has also been featured in Gladys Magazine and Four Magazines (nationally-acclaimed magazines). The White Barn was also voted the 2018 Reader's Choice for Venues/Entertainment by Glady's Magazine. Recently The White Barn was also award the "Couple's Choice Award" for 2019 by Wedding Wire, one of the world's largest wedding platforms. Four Magazines also name The White Barn a 2019 Best Venue!
2019 was another stellar year for The White Barn. We hosted 42 weddings as well as several events and special occasions. We were once again awarded "Favorite Wedding Vendor" by The Deep Creek Times. For the second year in a row, we were award "Best of Weddings" by The Knot. Wedding Wire did not disappoint either by awarding us "Couples' Choice again for 2019.
In March 2019, we expanded our brand by opening White Barn Boutique. We specialize in women's apparel and accessories. Currently an online retailer with world-wide shipping capabilities.
In November 2022, we purchased the neighboring wedding venue, formally known as Twin Tails Event Farm. We opened for the 2023 wedding season. Along with this expansion, we bring you, The Venues at Lucas Farm. The expansion includes the operations of the wedding venue, as well as on-site catering and on-site accommodations.
We have continued to win National Awards in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023! We are so excited for our 2024 wedding season with both venues operational!
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to visit The White Barn. We hope you will give us the opportunity to host your special event and make your dreams come true.
Here's to Forever!
