History and Other Info

A bride and groom sit front and center behind a fire pit as the rest of their wedding party smiles around them during their The Overlook at Geer Tree Farm wedding.

The Overlook at Geer Tree farm, as a wedding venue, has its roots in Christmas tree farming. No pun intended (sorry). The property has been family-owned by the Geers since the seventeenth century; it’s a working Christmas tree farm. What that means for you, as a nearlywed, is that they will handle your special day with care.

You and your guests will be able to drive right up hill from the street, park, and there you’ll be. The venue even owns a small shuttle that be used to get you and your wedding party to the venue.

Perhaps surprisingly, Heavitree B&B is a wedding venue itself. Some couples who get married at The Overlook choose to also book Heavitree for overnight accommodations and/or getting ready before their wedding.
