Elizabeth Hanks

Marketing & Social Media

You might call me Oakhaven’s social butterfly.  I am here, there and everywhere all over the property and on our social media.  You will find me with camera in hand clicking engaging and intimate shots that warm the hearts at our weddings and I also write Oakhaven’s social media pages.  I love to share the wonderful and happy moments that brides and grooms experience at our venue.

This January I published the first Blog on Oakhaven’s website. You will find interesting news and advice to anyone getting married and planning their wedding.  I will share with you the plans that work well and pitfalls to avoid. Please feel free to reach out to me through my email, elizabeth@experienceoakhaven.com.  I love to know what is on your mind and I enjoy helping to make everyone’s wedding experience the best.

Gary Barrett

Chief Operating Officer of Oakhaven Properties

Gary is a face that you will see buzzing throughout the Venue with a fine tooth comb.  He expects every inch of ground you see to be as perfect as possible.  He is the kind of person when you meet, you feel like you have known all your life.  His role at Oakhaven is invaluable and his passion for his work is what he is known for.

Working at Oakhaven for 35 years, Gary Barrett is our Director of “all things” as we like to say! You may find Gary inspecting the grounds to make sure all is up to our standards and if you’re really lucky, he’ll come say hello and offer to bake you a sweet treat!
