    The Barn at Water Oaks up in the Florida Panhandle is another beautiful one. I attended a wedding for my cousin there only a month ago. You can see a few of their photos at their instagram of @thebarnatwateroaksfarm, only opened in 2016 and already booked for almost all of 2017. Such a stunning location and they are even building a massive pond in the back with bridge and gazebo for additional ceremony and photography options in 2017!!
