Grass Campers Event Venue 

5.0

Reddick, FL
  • Up to 150 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $2,700

Hello sweet friends and welcome to GC farms event venue. My name is Katie and my husband and I recently opened this new venue space. We had purchased the property as a wedding present to one another just 3 years ago and after having our own beautiful day that we adored in a barn venue. We decided we loved it so much that we wanted to share in others happily ever afters for years to come, so we designed and built this venue to share in others love stories. We are located in the quaint and naturally beautiful rural town of Reddick, FL, in the quiet country conveniently located on a private 10 acre slice of real country Florida paradise between Gainesville & Ocala Florida. We offer an off-grid/clean solar energy facility, with rustic elegance. We offer everything from limited service options up to all inclusive options. We invited you to create your dream wedding under the oak trees and star lit skies or our cathedral barn complete with loft, twinkling lights and a 6 foot chandelier.

This is the best place to get married. Katie and Kevin, and her staff are the sweetest most down to earth people my husband and I have ever met. They don’t just meet expectations they exceed them. They love that they do and care for the people they are working with. They truly made this day the best day we would ask for. We will always remember 5.17.24 and that’s because this venue and this team had such an awesome impact. I would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone. The best!
