Perfection!

Words cannot describe how Southern Oaks made my daughter's dream of a fairytale wedding come true! They handled every single detail and made sure that my daughter and I could relax and enjoy the evening. The staff was very professional and the venue was absolutely gorgeous! It was truly a magical evening that we will never forget!

Dream venue

I don't know how to find the right words to adequately explain how magical your wedding will be with Southern Oaks. From your very first visit through your special night, they make everything feel like a dream. The food, the enhancements, the special touches they went the extra mile on...It was overwhelming. When our night was finally coming to a close, we were sad to leave because we knew we were going to miss the team. Everyone at our wedding raved about the food and the venue and how it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Thank you so much Mr. Bobby, Lauren Burgess and the entire family at Southern Oaks!!

I have conducted several weddings at Southern Oaks Plantation, and I'm always impressed with the cleanliness, the property maintenance, the friendly staff, but above all, the attention to detail. No variable is left to chance, and these pros know how to do a wedding! I've never seen better.
