We hosted all of our wedding events (except our ceremony) at Oak Crest. Oak Crest hosted my bridal luncheon on a Friday afternoon, our rehearsal dinner later that night, and then our cocktail hour and wedding reception on Saturday night. My now husband and I and all of our bridesmaids stayed at the mansion for the weekend. With all of the events and multiple people staying their at the same time, I thought it might be difficult for the venue to manage everything but they absolutely blew me away with their level of service and how quickly they flipped each room to deliver the guest experience that we wanted for each event. Lisa, the venue owner and coordinator, worked with me on the Thursday before my wedding to ensure that we had every detail nailed down for all of the events, which really put my mind at ease. And then Oak Crest executed on the details so I could focus on being present with my family and friends. It truly meant the world to us. Lisa also made all of my bridesmaids who stayed at the mansion feel so welcome and special and several of them said they were so glad they stayed for the weekend, as it made the logistics so much easier. I should also note that the food at Oak Crest is EXCELLENT! We had multiple guests tell us that they were shocked by how delicious the food was, particularly the chargrilled oysters and the potato bar that we had. I was admittedly a little nervous about the food leading up to the wedding because I had not done a tasting with the venue before our big day, but now I wouldn't change a thing. The food exceeded all of our expectations! Thank you Oak Crest for making our wedding weekend so special! -Megan & Andrew Cox

Our wedding was above and beyond our dreams!! Lisa did an amazing job at bringing every detail and idea I had to life. Everything went so smoothly the whole weekend. All the coordinating, decorating, food, alcohol and florals are done by oak crest and for a great price too!! I couldn’t be more pleased with our venue and how beautiful our big day was!

y went above and beyond to bring every detail of my vision to life - no matter how intricate it seemed. I can’t recommend them enough! With years of experience under their belts, everything felt effortless for them - setup, takedown, florals, food, drinks. It's worth every extra penny for the peace of mind that comes with working with seasoned professionals. I barely had to lift a finger - they truly handled it all, which allowed me (and my loved ones) to fully soak in the joy of the day.

e the ceremony outside or inside. Lisa, the wedding coordinator, was super helpful and positive throughout the entire process. The venue handled the flowers, food, and decorations (which not many is needed because the venue is so beautiful). The food at the rehearsal dinner and wedding was divine. Staying on the property was a wonderful decision. The girls and I stayed in the back cottage. My husband, groomsmen, and in-laws stayed in the main house. Waking up on the property the morning after our wedding was so fun. Breakfast and coffee hit the spot. I would do it all over again. The only regret I have is not staying on the property longer.

from the food to the service to the ambiance of the venue. We had great communication, ample time to set up, and really, because the space is so beautiful, we didn't need to spend a lot on decor. Everything was easy and it turned out so beautiful!

Oak Crest is a beautiful venue for a wedding. The biggest problem that we had was that we couldn't decorate the ballroom for the reception until 11:00 pm the night before the wed...

ding because Oak Crest booked a party in the ballroom even after we had booked the wedding. This added so much stress that was totally unnecessary.

e there and soak in all the beauty and history that surrounds you. I got married right after Christmas, so the decorations made it exquisite! The staff was WONDERFUL! I'd like to think I was an easy bride to work with, but I'm sure I caused a few headaches from time to time. :) Brittney was my planner, provided by Oak Crest, and she was really great. She took care of everything and went with the flow of last minute plans! The food was wonderful! I had several people comment on just how delicious the food was, especially the shrimp and grits! They had the linens on the table in the reception ballroom for me, tables set up, etc. They just took care of everything. They rolled with the punches, handled problems without involving me, changed things for the better when there were SO many people still there at the end of the reception! Oh and Bobby, the Inn Keeper, was super hospitable and a wonderful cook! I just love him! I had a fabuolus weekend! THANK YOU, OAK CREST for making my dream wedding come true! I can't say enough great things about this place; my words can't do it justice! I would suggest this place to anyone for ANY occasion!

ess you rent a room at the Mansion, there is no where for the bridal party to get ready. The food was delicious but the quality of presentation was gone after the first batch of food was put out. The food was not re-filled quickly enough. The venue is wonderful but rather expensive. Just make sure to get your count right so that you don't overpay for food/drinks.

another hotel reception room, but it is an amazing venue with history and great interior and exterior appeal. They have a wonderful ballroom that holds A LOT of people or even an intimate affair. It is also a Bed and Breakfast. They have great rooms and catering in house as well. We had out of town guests who had a great time at our wedding. Thanks Oak Crest!
