  • The Manor Gardens is one of our favorite ceremony locations. With lush green grass, colorful florals and a stonewalk way that leads to a gazebo, this site is perfect for that romantic garden feel.
  • The Oak Tree is our most popular ceremony location choice. Couples love our 100 year old oak tree and we can't say that we blame them! Providing ample shade during the summer months and old church pews for seating this ceremony site is breathtaking.

A Memorable and Magical Weekend

Choosing the perfect venue was one of the most important decisions for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. From the moment we toured Oakhaven, we received truly exceptional care—anticipating our needs before we could even voice them and consistently going above and beyond to make us feel like family. Their warmth and attention to detail made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable.
The venue itself is breathtaking, with beautifully landscaped grounds that offered countless photo opportunities. The multiple houses surrounding the venue allowed us more than enough room to have all our friends and family on site while having private space when needed.
The Manor house and Cabin gave us peace of mind and allowed everyone in the wedding party to get ready in comfort. The elegant indoor spaces provided a warm and inviting setting for our celebration, and our guests were consistently impressed by both the ambiance and the attention to detail throughout the facilities. The best part, you never have to worry about sharing your weekend with any other party.
The barn is updated and they recent addition added more room for us to comfortably fit all our guests, while having plenty of room to dance. One highlight was the accessory room, thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed to create unique details and added touches which saved us hundreds.
One particularly unforgettable touch was the Model-T car available for our use. Taking photos with this classic car added a unique, vintage charm to our day, and the ride made us feel like stepping back in time. This thoughtful amenity was a guest favorite and made our celebration even more memorable.
Jeanette, Elizabeth, Bob, Jaden, and Gary remained outstanding—professional, organized, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. They worked closely with us during planning, offering helpful suggestions and listening to our ideas. Jeanette and Elizabeth saved our big day when we had issues with one of our vendors by finding a last-minute replacement. They also added little touches to the itinerary simply because they knew it would make me smile. On the wedding day, everything ran smoothly thanks to their expertise and unwavering support.
Overall, our wedding exceeded all our dreams, thanks in large part to this incredible venue and its remarkable team. Patience (owner) and the staff pour their heart into making Oakhaven a one-of-a-kind venue. It shows in every way. They have so many nods to the past while incorporating modern amenities. We enthusiastically recommend it to any couple seeking a beautiful location, outstanding staff and amenities, and a truly unforgettable event.

Perfect Venue

Our wedding weekend at Oakhaven was beyond perfect. From the beginning, Kara and Jeanette were so patient with us through the planning process. They truly think of every little detail. We felt so taken care of by the whole team.
The property was absolutley beautiful. It was so nice having our family stay with us on the property for the whole weekend. Everyone was very impressed with how much space there was and how comfortable the houses were.
Our wedding went so smoothly and if something needed to be changed, Jeanette was on it. The wedding was beautiful and we got so many compliments on the venue.
We would highly recommend Oakhaven for an organized and beautifully done wedding!

Best Wedding Venue Ever!

Our wedding at Oakhaven on Aug 17, 2024 was a dream come true! After touring several venues, there was no question that Oakhaven was the location for us. The rustic backdrop, the gorgeous barn, the additional onsite amenities and exceptional staff were exactly what we wanted. We invested in the All-Inclusive package which includes the venue from Friday morning to Sunday afternoon, the most critical vendors (i.e. caterer, baker, photographer, and DJ) and two of the onsite accommodations (The Cottage and The Manor House) for the entire time - we also rented Woodrow's Cabin and The Bungalow for additional guests. We hired the caterer for the rehearsal dinner as well and hosted that in The Manor House on Friday night - it was such a great environment for the wedding party and extended family to get to know each other and kick off the celebration.

Jeanette and the entire Oakhaven staff were exceptional throughout the entire process but absolutely blew us away with how seamlessly they executed the rehearsal, ceremony and reception, including a very last-minute decision to move the ceremony indoors due to weather (we still started exactly on time).

There is no question we would choose Oakhaven again and would be happy to provide additional detail to anyone considering this venue or in the process of planning your big day!!

Choose oakhaven

Oakhaven Properties was the first venue we looked at when we started our wedding planning journey. We got the pleasure of meeting with Jeanette, and I knew immediately that it was going to be the perfect place for our special day. I did, however, explore other options, but nothing came close to giving me the feeling Oakhaven did. Not only is the entire property absolutely breathtaking, but they have 4 different beautiful ceremony locations, a considerable amount of great quality decorations in their decor room (made the day WAY less stressful), and multiple houses on their property you can rent for family/wedding party to stay. SO convenient when you have family and friends coming from out of state! Finally, THE STAFF WAS INCREDIBLE!!! Jeanette, Kara, Gary, Jeanette’s daughter (apologies for forgetting her name but she was a gem)!!! Kara was in charge of the day, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person! She was so helpful and made me feel so special. I am more grateful for her than she will ever know! If I had to do it a thousand times over, I’d choose Oakhaven every time. An experience I will truly never forget!

Amazing - 1000% recommend

Oakhaven was truly a dream come true for our wedding venue! Jeanette was quick to answer any and all questions. The accommodations was a big plus for us and was a key point in our decision to select Oakhaven as our venue. Our guests were in awe of the entire property and our wedding party was comfortable the entire weekend (being housed in site). We selected the fire pit area for our welcome event and it was a huge hit. The Oakhaven team was there at ever turn for anything we needed or had questions on! I recommend Oakhaven to anyone looking for the wedding of their dreams. Thank you for being such a huge part of our future! We hope to return and stay in the future to reflect on the memories we hold closest to our hearts!

My Dream Wedding

Oak Haven was one of the best decisions I made for our big day. The staff was phenomenal with all of their help from when we first came to tour all the way until the end of our wedding night. I highly recommend this venue if you are looking for a gorgeous place to get married with people that treat you like family. My overall best decision though was hiring Jeanette The Wedding Day Lady, as our wedding planner. She and her team were absolutely amazing through the whole wedding planning process. She goes above and beyond to make sure you have everything you have ever dreamed of for your wedding day plus more. Jeanette was always there to comfort my mom and I and would answer calls/ messages any time she was needed. I am so thankful for her and her time.

DREAM wedding venue

From the day we toured Oakhaven we knew that venue was the one for us!! The people were absolutely phenomenal in all aspects! We hired Jeanette as our wedding planner and she was with us EVERY SINGLE step of the way and was amazing on the wedding day! From the beautiful three wedding site (we are bias because we loved the oak tree) all the way to the gorgeous barn the views are breathtaking. The on-site housing was beyond convenient for my family who lives out of state. I cannot recommend Oakhaven enough and praise their staff.

Amazingly Beautiful - both Oakhaven Properties and Jeanette Wagoner

Start with an inspiration photo, find the venue that fits your inspiration, and connect with the finest wedding planner ever! If you choose Oakhaven Properties and The Wedding Day Lady (Jeanette Wagoner) then you’re nearly done creating your dream wedding. We visited Oakhaven to make sure it is as lovely as the pictures showed us – and it is. Since we had family coming from Vermont, we checked out the Manor House, Bungalow, Woodrow’s Cabin and the Honeymoon Cottage – all of them were beyond what we wanted and needed for our families. The weather on New Year’s Eve could be questionable so we had to make sure we could transition the ceremony site to the Grand Dutch Barn without losing the ambiance we wanted – and WOW…we got our dream wedding. The ceremony was in the Barn decorated as a “winter wonderland” and it was breathtaking – it exceeded our vision from the inspiration photo. Jeanette and her team helped to decorate using items we brought and items from her stash. The bridal party dressed in the Manor and Groom’s Quarters while Jeanette and crew put the finishing touches on the decorations. I was in awe when Jeanette pulled back the curtain for me to enter the venue and walk down the aisle.

Keep in mind that all of the planning and decisions that come with a wedding (caterer, bakery, bartender, string quartet, photographer, officiant) were done via phone calls between my Mom in Vermont and Jeanette. And Jeanette worked with us calmly and without agitation when we had to delay the wedding date. So for literally the best day of your life, Oakhaven and Jeanette will take fabulous care to make it happen.

Extra Special

We all fell in love with Oakhaven when touring venues for our daughter's August wedding. It is the perfect property to accommodate an entire weekend of wedding festivities -- from the bridal luncheon to the rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception. Thoughtful details everywhere on the whole property, from the dressing rooms to the firepit to the gorgeous oak tree ceremony site added something extra special to our celebration. We used all the accommodations on site for the wedding party and out of town guests, which created more time to enjoy one another all weekend. The staff was so helpful and professional, yet felt like family by the end of the weekend. So many guests commented on how perfect the venue was and we have to agree! We can highly recommend Oakhaven to handle your special day with care!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
