The Barn at Lakeside Ranch

About The Barn at Lakeside Ranch

The Barn at Lakeside Ranch is a wedding venue located in Hawthorne, FL. The property has been the home of the Holder family for more than three generations and now belongs to Keith and Diana Holder. Boasting over 250 acres, the family-owned farm can be the perfect backdrop setting for couples wanting to celebrate their big day in the countryside.

This spacious, family-owned 250-acre farm, located in the heart of North Central Florida, has been home to three generations of Holders. Currently owned by Keith & Diana Holder, Keith’s grandfather first purchased the initial parcel of lakefront property in 1939.

The Barn at Lakeside Ranch can host a range of special events, from weddings to birthdays and even corporate gatherings. The property is rich in history and features an abundance of natural beauty, such as the 40-acre lake and verdant land. When you arrive at the venue, you will be treated by a staff member to the get-ready suites.

These rooms are fully equipped with amenities to help you relax and prepare for your big day. These include sofas, a vanity bar, a TV, a mini-bar, a pool table, and a bath. The property has a rustic exterior yet an elegant interior with yellow pine walls, a chandelier, and chiffon fabric draping. Both your ceremony and evening reception can take place in the 8,000-square-foot barn that can fit weddings of all sizes. For cocktail hours, guests can make their way outdoors to enjoy a refreshing drink and fresh air.

The Barn at Lakeside Ranch will work with you to ensure your wedding day reflects your vision. The team provides various event rental items, including linens, table runners, tables, chairs, benches, a drink cart, and decor pieces. Couples wanting to bring in their favorite catering company can use the large prep kitchen during their service. For further details, you can visit their website or contact them today.
