The Oaks at Hooks Farm

Tucked beneath a wide Swainsboro, GA, sky just beyond the outskirts of Nunez, The Oaks at Hooks Farm is a quiet wedding marvel that has taken root where generations once tilled the land. What was once the domain of hard farming hands is now a canvas of celebration, a stunning new venue where the past is honored, and futures, often in the form of whispered vows, begin. Owned and operated by Wayne and Gail Greenway, The Oaks at Hooks Farm is not just a business venture but a love letter to legacy, family, and the enduring spirit of rural Georgia. This land has always meant something to my family," Gail shared during the venue's ribbon-cutting. "My father farmed this soil, and now we get to grow something new here, a place for people to gather, celebrate, and plant roots of their own." Gail, a seasoned wedding planner and coordinator, brings years of expertise and a personal touch to every event. Her dream of opening a venue was not just about business; it was about place-making, about creating a backdrop for life's most meaningful chapters. "I've spent so many years helping couples plan their perfect day, and now I have the space to truly let those experiences come to life," She said. The farm's reimagining is anything but ordinary. Guests arrive at the calming presence of a tranquil pond crowned with a gentle fountain, and a crisp white pergola that stands like a sentinel of Southern grace, its beams often dressed in soft florals, a beacon for ceremonies beneath an open sky. A small crop of muscadine grapes offers a beautiful photo opportunity. The sprawling lawn, verdant and hushed, feels like a private escape just ten minutes from Swainsboro and five miles off I-16. Inside, the Greenways have curated two distinctive event spaces, each named in honor of their mothers. An intimate homage woven into the very fabric of the venue: The Betty Room offers space for up to 50 guests, complete with a catering kitchen, a bridal suite, and overnight accommodations for up to ten, the perfect retreat for a wedding party's eve or the morning after. The Billie Room, a grander hall, seats up to 160 guests and features a built-in bar, making it ideal for live music, laughter, and dancing. The flexibility extends outdoors, where a 30' x 40' tent can welcome even more guests under the Georgia stars. But The Oaks is more than its amenities. It's a place where pages turn: where couples say "I do," where families reunite, where stories begin — all set against a landscape that remembers the hands that shaped it. "It's more than just a business to us," Gail insists. "It's a place for memories." The Oaks at Hooks Farm is open for bookings, poised to transform ordinary days into heirloom moments.
