Introducing
Hayden's Forest Oasis
We are thrilled to announce the addition of Hayden's Forest Oasis, a rustic outdoor wedding and reception venue designed for intimate micro-weddings. Starting in April 2026, couples will be able to celebrate their love surrounded by the breathtaking tranquility of nature.
Aligned with our mission at Dark Heart of the Grove, Hayden's Forest Oasis will embody the same principles of sustainability and local sourcing that define us. Each event will be woven into the natural landscape while maintaining an environmentally friendly approach that honors the beauty of nature. From start to finish, we are striving to ensure that everything utilized at Hayden's Forest Oasis reflects the same ethos that guides our operations—supporting local farms, creating less waste, and offering guests an unforgettable experience that leaves a minimal endpoint on our planet.
Join us in nurturing not only a love story but also the love we have for our environment. At Hayden’s Forest Oasis, you will be able to begin your journey as a couple while consciously caring for the planet we share. The simple pleasures of nature will dance around you, creating a magical backdrop for your special day, all while we protect and honor the beauty around us.
In Hayden’s Forest Oasis, let us partner with you to create a celebration that is as meaningful to the Earth as it is to your hearts. Together, we can make every moment memorable—not just for today, but for generations to come.
