Oakhaven’s Decor Closet
Oakhaven’s Decor Closet is a floor-to-ceiling treasure trove of design accessories. Easels or signage? No problem. An eclectic array of candlesticks and candelabras? Right here. Flameless candles? Of course. There are all sizes, including tapers. And tucked away are some statement pieces that might just work for your wedding.
The top 3 reasons couples love the Decor Closet
Oakhaven’s Wedding Manager Jeanette Wagoner understands the value for her couples raiding the Decor Closet. 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.
Blend the Decor Closet with your personal touches
The Decor Closet isn’t just for ceremony aisles and reception tables. Think guest book, cake and memory tables, entrance points to the ceremony, signage to direct guests, even your dessert station. At the end of the night, your coordinator just needs to pack up your personal items. No need to store things or try to sell them. For one low price, you’ll have access to everything in the Decor Closet. 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.
“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.” Jeanette Wagoner, Oakhaven Wedding Manager
Other Oakhaven signature amenities
Greenery always adds a beautiful, natural decor element both indoors and out. Oakhaven’s ferns are an affordable way to enhance a ceremony aisle, grace the venue’s soaring stone fireplace, or be a part of sweetheart table decor. And remember, they’re easily transportable from ceremony and cocktail hour to reception. Let your floral designer know you’re making ferns part of your decor.
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.
Ceiling draping definitely brings a level of luxury to a venue. Even if you’re not booking an all-inclusive wedding package, you can still make Oakhaven’s dramatic ceiling draping (see above as well as at top of this post) part of your rental. Lights can also be added for an ethereal effect.
Cold Sparks are now an established part of any wedding reception entrance. And Oakhaven has its own. Just add them to your venue rental package. Cold sparks get everyone in the mood to celebrate!
Make a memorable arrival in Oakhaven’s Model T
Imagine your guests’ happy surprise when they see you arrive in Oakhaven’s Model T golf cart with our trademark on the grill. A driver comes with the car. You can also use it to transport the wedding party or guests who may need assistance to the ceremony.
The Model T makes a one-of-a-dine backdrop for wedding photos. And since its arrival, practically every Oakhaven couple has made it part of their wedding day.
