The perfect setting for your event

Camp Retreat started as an open pole barn. It served as a place for our friends and family to gather for parties, reunions, and other small events. Along the way, we decided that we wanted to transform it into a wedding and event venue. It STILL serves as a place for friends and families to gather together and celebrate some of life’s biggest moments. Today, the Barn features high ceilings, a beautiful chandelier, white draping, and a dance floor with enough room to comfortably seat up to 200 people. Camp Retreat offers both indoor and outdoor spaces, ensuring that your event will continue no matter the weather. The Barn at Camp Retreat is located on 140 acres of green fields, perfect for a southern wedding. We are excited to give everyone a glimpse into our little piece of Heaven on earth located right here in God’s country... Small town - Baker, FL.

A note from the manager: from venue manager to wedding planner

After more than seven years serving as the Wedding Venue Manager at Camp Retreat, I’m stepping into an exciting new chapter: wedding planning with The Spicer Edit.

During my years at the venue, I oversaw every detail that makes a wedding day come together — from managing the Camp Retreat social media and handling contracts, to leading venue tours, coordinating set-ups, guiding couples, and managing staff. Being involved in every layer of the process gave me a front-row seat to what couples truly need, what vendors appreciate, and what venues require for a seamless day.

This experience shaped the heart of my approach as a planner. I understand how a venue operates behind the scenes, which allows me to communicate clearly, anticipate needs, and bring a level of preparation and calm that only comes from years in the industry.

Now, with The Spicer Edit, I’m honored to use that unique perspective to help brides plan with confidence, ease, and joy. My goal is simple: to create beautifully organized, thoughtfully edited wedding days that feel like you — and to make the entire journey as smooth and memorable as the celebration itself. I would LOVE for you to follow me on this new journey @thespiceredit on Instagram and “The Spicer Edit” on Facebook.
