Our Roots Beneath the Oaks​

​

Nestled on nearly 12 acres of what was once the historic Umstead Ranch, Twin Oaks Barn Venue carries a legacy of farming, family, and community. For generations, neighbors gathered under the shade of the oak trees to share stories and celebrate life. That same spirit of connection is at the heart of everything we do today, because Your Story Begins Beneath the Oaks.

​

In 2020, the Umstead family built the barn using timber milled directly from the property. With the help of friends and loved ones, the barn became a space that reflected the land’s history while creating something new for future generations.

​

In 2025, Carley and Dalton Counts discovered Twin Oaks while planning their own wedding and quickly fell in love with its charm. During that time, Carley found a passion for the wedding industry, inspired by the joy of preparing for her own celebration. When the previous owner decided it was time to pass the venue on, the Counts family embraced the opportunity to continue what had been started. Eric and Becky Counts became the new owners, and Carley stepped in as Venue Manager, where she now has the privilege of continuing her passion in the industry while ensuring every guest is warmly cared for.

​

Today, Twin Oaks continues to thrive as a place where stories are shared, love is celebrated, and lasting memories are created. Every event is given the same care and attention that first inspired the venue, ensuring each celebration is as meaningful as the last.

​

We are honored to open our doors to you and your loved ones, and we look forward to creating a celebration that reflects your story and leaves lasting memories. Just as generations before have gathered beneath these oaks, we are committed to making your day unforgettable and welcoming you into the continuing story of Twin Oaks Barn Venue.
