What is Havens Farms?

Havens Farms, the ceremony venue, is a Missouri Century Farm that was originally purchased in 1908 by George and Winifred Havens, Morgan’s great-great-grandparents. Morgan’s great-grandparents, Charles and Golda Havens, purchased the farm in 1947. This is where they raised Morgan’s grandfather, John Havens, and her two great-uncles, Wallace Havens and Hank Havens. The farm has been owned by Morgan’s uncle and aunt, Mark and Dana Havens, since 1995. The farm is a very special place that is right down the road from where Morgan grew up. Jake and Morgan couldn’t think of a better place to have their wedding day.
