White Oak Events, LLC

We felt honored to host this gathering of contestants for the Miss Richland County Fair Queen—including the Little Miss group. Queen Holly especially did a wonderful job sharing her story and setting a beautiful example for Little Misses!

White Oak Events is delighted to be a sponsor of Richland County Fair. We invite you to come out with us to cheer on these wonderful contestants! We are so proud of these incredible young ladies and wish them well at the pageant tonight.

Last month we had the honor of hosting a wonderful 40th anniversary celebration for Darrell & Betty Scherer in the White Oak barn. Here's wishing them many more blessed years together! 💕

Today’s big anniversary celebration featured some amazing cake creations by Sabina's Plätzchen! Look how beautiful! 😍 🎂

We had a blast—and luckily plenty of parking—when the Sip It truck 🛻 came by to wow guests at an adorable first birthday party! Guests were able to easily access the beverage truck’s offerings through our side door. We've had three different food/beverage trucks here this spring! It's the perfect spot!

Thanks, Shawnee Renshaw and Tristan Holtz for bringing so much fun to our parking lot!

As part of our spring refresh, Blake & Melissa have installed a green and inviting new backdrop for future photo staging in the barn. Picture this backdrop with your bright balloons, or a banner customized to your event, ready for posing and pictures! To book your event, contact Melissa with a message to our page or call (618) 839-8810.

Our White Oak barn was the perfect setting for this creative - and adorable - "locally grown" themed baby shower last week! We're so grateful to mama Kendall Doersam for sharing the day and these pictures with us. We wish every blessing on baby Bennett, who is due to arrive in June!

Shout out to KC- Kreations by Casey (Casey Hemrich) for making us this beautiful welcome sign! We love it and have put it waaaay up where everyone can see it walking in! It’s just perfect for our White Oak Barn venue space, don’t you think?

To all our newcomers and friends, welcome to our page for White Oak Events!

We built our event barn as a special place on our farm to host our family and growing Bible study gatherings back in 2018-2019. Using beautiful white oak lumber taken from our own woods in the construction, we wanted to make this place truly a special part of our family “tree”. In time, we expanded the barn’s footprint and its hospitality to engage our neighbors for family gatherings and events.

We are excited to have you visit, too!

Reach out to us with a message or call (618.839.8810) to learn more about hosting your event here with us.

We look forward to meeting you at the barn!
