What an incredible venue! King George Lavender Farm was the perfect choice to bring our special day to life. While it’s tucked away in a rural area, it was absolutely worth it.
Ms....
Elinor has such a gift for beauty and design. The upgrades she and her talented husband created—including the chapel-like barn, the gorgeous greenhouse and garden, and the thoughtfully landscaped grounds—were truly breathtaking. Everything came together seamlessly, and the farm provided the most stunning backdrop for our wedding.
We also chose to stay in the cottage on the property for the weekend, which was so charming and convenient. Having the option to get ready on-site with my bridal party and then relax with my new husband afterward made the experience even more special.
On top of it all, Ms. Elinor’s kindness and flexibility made planning and celebrating here such a joy. We couldn’t be happier with our decision, and if we had to do it all over again, we’d still choose King George Lavender Farm in a heartbeat!

Let me begin by saying that we absolutely loved getting to spend our special day at this beautiful property. We received so many compliments on our venue and I am sure many of our ...
guests will be returning in June for their Lavender Festival.
Mr. & Mrs. Poole were amazing throughout the entire process. Mrs. Elinor was so helpful and responded quickly to my many questions. Their packages were very reasonable, they have great vendor recommendations, and they truly care about making your wedding day perfect.
Our ceremony and reception were on the property, which was so convenient. I also highly recommend renting Pemberly Cottage, which is on the property. This is where our bridal party got ready, and everyone loved it.
This is such a magical place and I know we will be returning in the future for photos and events and I look forward to seeing what new things they will be adding to the farm in the future.
I truly cannot say enough great things about King George Lavender Farm and Mr. & Mrs. Poole, I highly recommend them. Schedule your tour appointment, you will not regret it.

ess, and professionalism of the owners. Elinor was more than willing to be as helpful and understanding as possible! She checked with me about additions to the barn they were making in advance (such as hanging the beautiful chandelier and rain guards on the outdoor posts). During the wedding, around dinner, Elinor and her staff came to check the trash cans and to make sure everything was functioning properly on the property. The prices are reasonable for those who want a beautiful and affordable wedding. They have just recently created a helpful pamphlet of their packages: it includes links, photos, pricing recommendations. I highly recommend to all of my friends, family and brides this venue because it is absolutely breath taking and can accommodate indoor and outdoor needs for your preference. Don’t miss out! Schedule a tour if you’re considering this venue ASAP!

We had our wedding here in October. The weather was perfect, the venue was beautiful. The bridal suite was so cozy and we were able to relax and enjoy our time as we got ready. Our...
photographers and videographer were able to get so many great shots. The beauty of the venue made it that much easier. We did not use much decor at the actual ceremony site near the water. It was not needed, the natural beauty was enough. The price was very affordable. I truly would not change much of anything about our wedding day!

married on 11/12 & this was my experience. Mrs. Poole was very quick with responses & always made sure to explain every answer to my 1000+ questions! I had her son in law & daughter cater with charcuterie boards. It was delicious & so beautifully put together. They made sure every time something was running low, to refill it & made sure everything was the way I liked, even the decorations. They left me such a sweet gift for the day off, that I didn’t even notice until I was leaving (ha, crazy day!). They allowed us to use their golf cart to transport the grandparents & anyone who needed it. The bartender they hired was pouring them good and strong. I might also add, I had my own alcohol put to the side for only me, & when my mom asked for the same drink (he didn’t meet her prior lol), he made sure to follow what my bridesmaids told him! & of course, my mom did get a drink after my approval. My only suggestion would be a fan in the bride’s room because it got toasty, even with the back hallway window open. But everything about the day was awesome & I will definitely be sure to share some photos as soon as I receive them! I would 10/10 recommend this venue to anyone & appreciate Mrs. Poole and all of her assistance during the crazy day and months leading up!
