ok no further.
Carla and Rob were amazing for our wedding weekend! Even with the rain storm on our day they never stopped working to make sure our day was still perfect.
Rob & Carla were so helpful! This venue is worth every penny! All of my guests and family and vendors cannot stop talking about OakeHavenLodge. We chose the package that allowed us...
to stay in the lodge after the wedding. We had our ceremony under the main oak tree and it was so beautiful with the moss. They provided beautiful white benches for the ceremony. We had our reception in the barn and it was absolutely perfect! The property has so much usable space, yet everything is still close enough for all guests to easily get from my spot to the next.
Thank you so very much to the Elliots for hosting our wedding!

First and foremost, Mrs. Carla and Mr. Rob are the most gracious of hosts. They are super friendly, helpful, and insightful. I can truly say I’ve never dealt with a pair of people ...
who uphold such professionalism, yet make you feel as though you’ve known them your whole life. Anything that my wife and I needed, they were more than happy and willing to assist us. With that being said, the property is definitely one of a kind. Formerly a golf course on the outskirts of both Marianna and Cottondale, the property is full of green grass and rolling slopes that are perfect for pictures. The big oak tree in the center of the property really sets the scene for weddings and outdoor gatherings, especially at night when the hanging lights come on and the entire treetop comes alive. The buildings on opposite sides of the aforementioned tree are beautiful as well as spacious, both having a high threshold for medium to large gatherings. The barn, where my wife and I held our wedding reception, was able to accommodate nearly 80 people and could’ve comfortably housed at least 40-50 more. The lodge opposite the barn is also, as mentioned, a beautiful and spacious area, harboring a large central room with smaller rooms surrounding it. The vibe that this building has is displayed in every room you peek your head into, and the southern charm is very evident, and it makes you feel as though you’re in a home away from home. I would recommend Oake Haven Lodge to ANYONE looking for a venue, regardless of event!
Our wedding experience was all the better because of Oake Haven Lodge. The overall vibe of the property was everything my husband and I were looking for, relaxed and comfortable wi...
th beautiful landscape. This venue was an absolute gem from the multiple hundred-year-old oak trees to the rustic barn, and the soft rolling grassy plains. The owners, Rob and Carla, genuinely caring natured people, only helped make our choice extremely easy in making this the place where we say, "I do".
From start to finish, Carla and Rob made themselves available for questions/concerns and always were willing to help problem solve in whatever way was needed. Because of this, my husband and I felt extremely comfortable explaining the vision of our special day to both Carla and Rob. As we continued to work more with them, they felt less like "vendors" and more like family. By the end of the entire experience, we have exchanged life stories and have planned hunting trips together with our families and theirs. It is safe to say, my husband and I have made not only wonderful lasting memories but also a special friendship.
I highly recommend this venue to any bride and groom that are looking for an authentic, comfortable, and beautiful experience.

big tree on the property is an amazing backdrop for a ceremony. Carla and Robert are amazing hosts and go above and beyond to make sure your special day/event is perfect. They’re kind and will make you feel like family the second you meet them. The building on the property is spacious and perfect for getting ready. Enough room for everyone to gather together for any occasion.

ven need an arch. The bar held all of our guest so comfortably with doors that opened on 3 sides bringing the outside in. There was so much land we used for outdoor recreation during our wedding festivities, the groom & groomsmen were even able to hit golf balls! Our bridal room was the beautiful & we had use of the complete house where we also held the reception dinner to not interfere with the wedding tables set up under the barn. The owners were so helpful making our day perfect & knowledgeable about planners & catering in the area to make our day easy. I highly recommend Oake Haven it is perfect, elegant & a must see if you’re getting married!
