Event Packages
Every gathering at OMHouse begins with a feeling. The hush of the oaks, the soft lake light, the sense that time has slowed enough to hold something meaningful. Whether your moment is intimate or celebratory, we offer the estate as a beautiful backdrop for whatever you imagine.
Our events are venue-only, allowing you to bring your own planner, caterers, and creative team to shape the details with care. This approach keeps your celebration personal while ensuring the day unfolds smoothly.
OMHouse provides the setting and the atmosphere. You bring the vision and the people who help bring it to life.
