North Carolina all-inclusive weddings aren’t necessarily limited to uninspired choices when you select the right venue. Oakhaven’s all-inclusive weddings combine in-house luxury upgrades and accommodations with services from top Piedmont NC and Southside VA wedding vendors. Learn the three big advantages of all-inclusive weddings and meet the preferred vendors who are part of Oakhaven’s curated packages.

The 3 T’s of going all-inclusive

A venue that offers all-inclusive weddings makes the perfect planning partner. Not only do you have a team of dedicated on-site event professionals, you’ll also be working with wedding vendors who value their relationships with the venue. Here are three great reasons for going all-inclusive.

  1. Trust – your venue manager has worked closely with the professionals who are part of their all-inclusive wedding package. That means no vetting – and fretting – for you.
  2. Time – you have enough to do to make it to the big day. When you work with a team of trusted vendors, you can focus more on personalization and less on sending email inquiries.
  3. Teamwork – this might sound funny but think of your wedding as a performance. And any good performance relies on teamwork. When vendors work together regularly at a venue, the result is a seamless experience.

All-inclusive weddings mean elevated at Oakhaven

Oakhaven offers curated all-inclusive weddings for 100-150 guests. All Oakhaven wedding rentals include choice of ceremony location, use of the venue and terrace, tables, chairs, linens, parking attendant, and golf cart shuttle service. But you’ll also enjoy dramatic ceiling draping and full access to Oakhaven’s amazing Decor Closet.

Begin your celebration Thursday evening and depart on Sunday afternoon. Oakhaven’s package includes wedding party lodging at the beautifully decorated Manor House and charming Cottage for three nights. There’s even a comfortable kennel for your four-legged friend.

With your closest family and friends joining you for a wedding weekend, you’ll have time to explore the countryside estate. Take advantage of nighttime skies around the fire pit and try your culinary skills in the outdoor kitchen.

And the morning after your wedding, sip complimentary champagne and savor homemade bread. No hurry, no stress – just wedding bliss.

The best wedding pros for your special day

Every aspect of your wedding reception is covered with an Oakhaven all-inclusive package. You’ll enjoy the services of a seasoned planner and build your wedding team with some of the top Triad and Southside event pros, all carefully selected by our event specialists.
