Think guest book, cake and memory tables, entrance points to the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception, signage to direct guests, and your dessert station.

The top 3 reasons couples love the Decor Closet
Jeanette Wagoner is Oakhaven’s Wedding Manager. Her knowledge of this Piedmont NC wedding venue and all its reception possibilities is priceless. In her experience, here’s why so many Oakhaven couples make the Decor Closet part of their wedding design.
Huge Cost Savings: Renting or buying decor items separately can add up fast. With the Decor Closet, you get access to a wide variety of stylish, high-quality pieces without having to pay retail or rental rates for each item. It’s like having an entire design showroom at your fingertips.
Stress-Free Styling: No need to spend hours hunting down the “perfect” candlesticks, signs, or lanterns. Everything is curated, organized, and ready to use. Couples can walk in, get inspired, and walk out knowing their wedding will look professionally styled.
Sustainable and Convenient: Using what’s already available reduces waste and saves trips to big-box stores or last-minute Amazon orders. It’s eco-friendly, practical, and all on-site—no extra transport, setup, or cleanup hassle.
Add the Decor Closet to your venue rental
The Decor Closet is available as an add-on for $600. “But the true value is well over $3,500 when you consider what it would cost to purchase or rent similar items individually—from charger plates and signage to centerpiece vessels and accent décor,” advises Jeanette.
“For less than the cost of a single day-of rental truck or a last-minute Hobby Lobby run, you get access to thousands of dollars in beautiful wedding décor—all ready to go at Oakhaven.”
And if you book one of Oakhaven’s all-inclusive wedding packages, the Decor Closet is included, along with beautiful draping across the barn’s ceiling.
Other decor enhancements to add to your distinctive tastes
If you’re not booking an all-inclusive wedding package, you can still make Oakhaven’s dramatic draping treatment part of your rental. Be sure to ask to ask for pricing. Lights can also be added for an ethereal effect.
And Oakhaven’s ferns are a cost-effective way to bring greenery and softness into an indoor ceremony in front of the fireplace or as part of a sweetheart table. Live plants always give a feeling of luxury.
Symbolize your love and travel in first class style
If you’ve taken a tour of Oakhaven (if not, please schedule one!), you may have noticed the white doves on the barn roof. Oakhaven offers a dove release as a ceremony add-on to provide a symbolic and romantic touch.
And Oakhaven couples love to use the latest addition to our wedding transportation fleet. It’s a Model T golf cart with our trademark on the grill. A driver comes with the car. Use it to transport the wedding party to the ceremony. The Model T, priced at $375, makes a wonderful prop in photos. And since its arrival, practically every Oakhaven couple has made it part of their wedding day.
Smart styling without the storage woes
With a wealth of design items at your fingertips, try mixing and matching from the Decor Closet for a layered look. Just make sure you don’t go overboard because you want your meaningful, personal touches to shine. But don’t be afraid to add something whimsical, like the cowhide chairs Owner Patience Ergish picked up on one of her decorating adventures. And be sure to use the greenery selfie wall for self-expression.
A wedding that feels like you — without the DIY overload
Oakhaven’s Decor Closet provides an effortless “shopping” experience without the hassles and expense. It’s one of many amenities offered by this estate wedding venue located just 30 minutes north of Greensboro and minutes from Southside Virginia. And with four on-site homes accommodating up to 29 guests, Oakhaven makes an ideal NC destination wedding venue.
