About this venue

Purchased by its current owners over 30 years ago, it has since seen a number of couples wed before loved ones. The venue can facilitate both indoor and outdoor celebrations featuring waterfront views and natural surroundings.

Facilities and Capacity

The mansion house located on the grounds dates back to 1790 and contains spacious lounge areas, sleeping arrangements, a kitchen, and a curved stairway. The exterior of the former residence displays a wide porch, white paneling, and turquoise shutters on symmetrical windows. The grounds are surrounded by marshes and feature rows of mature live oaks, a pecan orchard, and numerous ponds. Couples can select their preferred event location to exchange vows, from spacious waterfront meadows to small settings beneath mature trees. Both covered and uncovered receptions are possible according to couples’ desires. The venue can set up an open-air banquet against the backdrop of the mansion, or arrange a tented celebration on the grounds. Furthermore, guests are free to bring pets on site, helping to ensure that everyone is included in the occasion. Additional facilities include a silo, barn, and additional housing.

Best Day Ever

Just so beautiful. This wedding venue was an absolute dream and allowed my wedding to be everything I wanted and more. From the days leading up to the big day, where we were in the wedding venue house working on flowers and prepping last minute items, to the send off. I loved every second I was on the property. Amy and Troy are so great and easy to work with - they are accommodating and flexible. The accommodations were perfect - all of the girls slept in the house the night before and we had a blast. The guys did as well. Loved it. I could not recommend more.

Amazing venue!

Agapae Oaks was the most perfect venue for our Lowcountry wedding! We wanted a venue that showcased all that Beaufort, SC has to offer and we felt like we won the lottery. The scenic backdrop of the oaks and the river flooded our instagram and facebook feed for weeks after the wedding and so many guests complimented the whole property. The fact that the whole wedding party got to stay out there together was also a huge advantage and made the day-of go so smoothly. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL venue and would recommend to anyone wanting the perfect lowcountry wedding!

A day from a movie

This place is everything and more. Amy is amazing and so lovely to work with. The groundskeeper, now he is phenomenal. He made sure the area we were getting married in was spotless, the grass was mowed, the home had the a/c on the perfect temp for us. Get the benches, trust me!

Highly recommend Agapae Oaks

We had our wedding at Agapae Oaks in February 2023, and only have wonderful things to say about the property. Despite not choosing to sleep in the houses on property, we were able to have access from Thursday to Sunday, which allowed us to utilize the beautiful lawn for multiple events. The sunsets over the marsh are expansive and incredible. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful the space was. As long as couples know that you have to bring most of the vendors in (including lighting, tent, bathrooms, rentals etc), it was the perfect spot to have a beautiful wedding and big party!

Best Venue ever!

We got married here in July 2022 and could not have asked for a better experience! Amy and Troy were both extremely helpful and made everything so easy to get done.

A hidden gem!

Hosting our wedding at Agapae Oaks was one of the best decisions that we made. I am a wedding planner in Charleston, SC - so finding a venue that felt special to me was super important. I didnt want to get married somewhere that I worked most weekends, but still wanted to quintessential charm of the Lowcountry. When we found Agapae Oaks - we knew it was perfect for us! We loved the location in Beaufort, the views. the wide open spaces for tenting, and the fact that we were able to start set up a few days early.

Amy and Troy made the experience so wonderful. They answered many questions and were always kind and gracious in their responses. Our guests were equally as impressed with the property as we were - and we received so many compliments throughout the wedding weekend regarding Beaufort and the Agapae Oaks property!

I am selfishly glad I came across this space before I worked a wedding there - but I hope to bring many clients to this special place in the near future!! Wishing we could do it all over again!!!

I could not have asked for more - 100 stars!

I wish I could give Agapae Oaks and its staff 100 stars. First, the venue is absolutely gorgeous! And so affordable, especially for the ENTIRE weekend! We spent all day Friday unpacking/organizing/setting things up, and it made Saturday such a breeze and allowed us to relax and truly be able to enjoy the day. We were also able to have our rehearsal dinner on the property at no additional cost! Second, Amy (the owner) and Troy (the property manager) literally went above and beyond to meet every request and make every accommodation. Troy was on site the entire weekend and checked in multiple times to see if we needed anything/if everything was to our liking. He has been there many years and has a lot of knowledge about the venue, and he gave us a ton of insight on how things should be set up to ensure everything ran as smoothly as possible. Amy & Troy were truly the kindest and easiest people to work with!! Third, I highly recommend renting both houses on the property. We arrived on Thursday and did not leave until Sunday! The houses had plenty of room to accommodate our entire bridal party, plus extras, which kept them from having to book hotel rooms and travel back and forth. It also relieved a lot of stress by having everyone already there the morning of the wedding and it gave us two separate locations for us to all get ready. Overall, this venue and its staff exceeded every expectation I had and allowed me to have the Lowcountry wedding of my dreams. I can not recommend them enough!!!

The perfect Low Country Wedding!

The most beautiful setting the Low Country has to offer! My daughters dream wedding was easily realized thanks to Agapae Oaks and their staff. I can’t say enough, from the property being available to us and our guests for an extended period of time and the availability of the accommodations for our wedding party so sleep, stay and relax to the helpful advise on many things from the caretaker Troy. Just perfect!

Agape Plantation

We had a great experience and on the big day it was beautiful! Agape represents Beaufort with the old house and water. I loved the large cross they provide at the end of the aisle as well. Amy the owner is very easy to work with. We highly recommend
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
