Welcome to

Big Oak Meadows

Our Story

We are the Custer family and we invite you on this journey of making Big Oak Meadows a place that you can build lasting memories with your family and friends. With both of us growing up on farms, we have a deep love for God’s creation, and know the value of growing together through hard work and dedication. We were both involved in camping ministry which is where we began our journey of life together. Our vision is to build community by having a Christ-centered place for families and the community to gather together in a unique and welcoming environment. This includes retreats, parties, weddings, and other special events and celebrations.

We invite you to come see and experience Big Oak Meadows with us!

Meet The Team

Nate & Noelle

Nate & Noelle started Big Oak Meadows in 2015 together with their 4 children – River, Maelyn, Cade & Chaz. Nate, a former USMC veteran, handles all things maintenance for the venue and in his free time can be found on a tractor, in the woods, or next to his grill. Noelle loves a good cup of coffee, making old things new, and gathering around her farmhouse table with friends & family. Together, they have a shared love for Gods creation, taking on new projects, and building community.

Gina

Gina is a life-long friend of the owners and began working alongside them when they broke ground at Big Oak Meadows in 2015. Gina loves all aspects of weddings and finds beauty in the details. As a pastors wife, at a local community church, she has 30+ years of experience helping with weddings. Gina has a knack for interior design with a barn full of decorations, is an avid supporter of our military, loves finding excuses to gather with people, and loves spending time at her log cabin in the woods.

Ali

Coordinator/Social Media Manager

Ali started her official journey at Big Oak Meadows in 2021 as a wedding coordinator, after helping Nate & Noelle a little when they first purchased the property in 2015. Ali loves using her creativity, seeing a million small details come together, and finding ways to add new things to the venue. In the off-season, Ali can be found spending time with her husband, Daniel, & 2 doodles, running marathons, boosting her plant collection, exploring new coffeeshops, & constantly redecorating & reorganizing her home to the dismay of her husband.

Maranda

Coordinator

Maranda started with Big Oak Meadows in 2021, but her connection with Big Oak Meadows is a special one. In 2019, Maranda and Dylan, her husband, were the very first barn wedding that took place at Big Oak Meadows. Maranda loves being creative and having the opportunity to give each couple a unique and personalized experience. In her free time, Maranda can be found farming, spending time with her husband, playing trucks with Denny, her son, & teaching sip’n build classes with her mom. Maranda is also an expert ukulele player.

"Thank you so much for the love and kindness you showed Rachel and Cole throughout the wedding planning process. This is truly what you were meant to do! Every last detail was thought through and perfect. As the mama of the groom, I can’t tell you what this means to me. They are on their way to their honeymoon and so happy with how special their day was… thanks to the two of you."

"Could not ask for a better wedding venue! The grounds and the barn are beautiful, but more importantly, Noelle and Nate are class acts. They are kind, accommodating, and will do everything they can to make your big day the day of your dreams!"
