For couples who crave intimacy, personalization, and elegance, an elopement or micro wedding offers an ideal solution. During the week, Oakhaven provides an estate wedding experience for Greensboro micro weddings and elopements, giving couples exclusive access to three breathtaking ceremony sites.
Having a micro wedding or elopement not only ensures a more private and relaxed experience, it also opens the door to bespoke details, flexible vendor scheduling, and memorable moments that feel entirely your own. Explore the advantages of a weekday celebration and the qualities that set Oakhaven apart from many North Carolina wedding venues.
Why couples opt for micro weddings
A micro wedding is a celebration for up to 50 guests where the focus is quality over quantity. It often feels like an elopement with close family and friends. Micro weddings are very curated and often take place in unique venues.
More Heartfelt Celebrations: With a micro wedding, every guest is part of your love story. And a limited guest list allows you to meaningfully connect with friends and family, creating precious memories without the distractions of a large crowd.
Flexibility with Vendors and Scheduling: Those prime Saturdays during spring and fall wedding seasons go quickly. But weekday weddings offer more vendor availability and options.
Signature Experience: Micro weddings allow couples to invest more in the details, from custom menus and specialty décor to curated entertainment. Every choice can feel more intentional and reflective of the couple’s style.
Kinder on the budget: With a smaller guest list, you’ll save on food and beverage costs. And ask about weekday wedding discounts when you’re interviewing vendors.

The appeal of an elopement
Today, elopements are a deliberate choice for couples who want freedom from traditional wedding pressures. Elopements are meaningful weddings without the stress of managing a large guest list. You can focus on each other without worrying about seating charts or complicated timelines.
Because an elopement is a more budget-friendly wedding option, couples can invest in other wedding experiences like photography and videography, a honeymoon, or a gourmet meal. You can design your day around what makes you happiest.
Small is beautiful – Oakhaven’s elopement and micro wedding package
Our premier Piedmont wedding venue is available for elopements and micro weddings on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for up to 50 guests. And just like our weekend wedding couples, you’ll have your pick of our three outside ceremony sites. Each offers seasonal splendor.
The Signature Oak: This grand tree has graced Oakhaven for over 150 years. Make your entrance through the rustic, vine-covered doors and say your “I Do’s” beneath the stately tree – a symbol of Oakhaven’s timelessness, like your love.
The English Manor Gazebo & Gardens: This ceremony location was made for springtime weddings, from the cherry blossom trees to the manicured flower beds. The brick path takes you to a classic gazebo for your vows.
The Grand Terrace: Adjoining Oakhaven’s elegant venue is a spacious patio overlooking rolling farmland. This scenic backdrop is enhanced by a classic, white wrought iron gazebo and seasonal planters.
Petite weddings with plus-size impact
In addition to your ceremony site, you’ll also have use of Oakhaven’s Grand Dutch Reception Hall. And the property is also yours the day before your wedding from 1pm to 6pm for decorating and rehearsal. Ask our wedding team about adding a rehearsal dinner space to your package.
And like any Oakhaven wedding, you’ll enjoy:
- On-site Venue Host wedding day

- Parking attendants
- Dressing areas for the wedding party
- Tables, chairs, and linens in your choice of color provided

The best part of all – The Honeymoon Cottage
Your elopement or micro wedding also includes your first married night in Oakhaven’s cozy Honeymoon Cottage. This well-appointed love nest exudes charm and romance. Make newlywed wishes on the stars from the deck or snuggle up next to the fireplace with a glass of champagne.
