Grass Campers Event Venue 

5.0

Reddick, FL
  • Up to 150 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $3,000

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.

If you’re going get married, this is the place to do it. The packages they offer are unlike any other venue that my husband and I toured. I cannot say enough kind words about the owners and their staff. They were amazing, so easy to work with, and they made sure everything went off without a hitch. We paid for them to set up and take down everything at the end of the night, gave all decision making to Katie, and she did not disappoint. If you’re looking for a venue so you don’t have to stress about the small details, this is your place.

Working with Bailey and The Top Secret Events team to have our wedding at The Wooly was amazing and so easy! If we were to do it all over again we would without a doubt choose this team and this venue for our wedding! Bailey was responsive and flexible throughout the process which is such a luxury when wedding planning. The Wooly is such a unique venue and Bailey was more than willing to help us make it our own for the special day. The set up that they have is perfect for small, medium or larger events. The catering and bar staff were INCREDIBLE - so kind and helpful! From the venue, to the catering, and even the lighting, the team ensures that your priorities are their priorities.
