White Oak Estate and Gardens

tor and made sure to ease all my worries day of that everything would be set up just as I had envisioned it. Truly a magical place to have a wedding reception!

't hesitate to book your wedding here!!

ome except for to-go boxes they make. I wish with the amount of food we had left over, we could have brought some more home.

s beautiful! Jordan and the staff at White Oak were so easy to work with. They made our wedding feel like the only wedding they were planning. Our guests loved the food. The mac and cheese and the late night French fries were my personal favorites! The whole evening went so smoothly and everything worked out perfectly. Ms. Penny was awesome and made sure we had everything we needed all night. White Oak Estate & Gardens has perfected the entire wedding and reception experience!

eeded to be. Special shout out to waitress Penny who ensured us and our parents never had to wait in line for anything.

ll-in-one property. Beautifully picture perfect! Everything is all included so you don't have to worry about other vendors for tables, chairs, linens, place settings, etc. (Of course you need to provide your own wedding cakes, florist, and audio people. But, they have a recommended vendor list which we definitely used and made our event even more stress-free!) The food is so incredibly delicious and the drinks are wonderful! Our guests raved about both all night! We even added the Beignet Shooters last minute because we had them at the Spring Bridal show. The wedding coordinators are extremely helpful and made our night flawless. Even in the face of looming rain, they provided me confidence and assurance that everything would be ok. I also want to give a big shoutout to our attendant, Ms. Penny! She is a GEM and such a wonderful and kind woman! She was always on the ball to make sure my husband, my parents, and myself were taken care of! She made our night super special! Working Jordan to book our event was easy, even with COVID date changes! She was very kind & helpful! She is a great face for the property! If you are looking for a romantic but spacious venue for your guests that isn't a hotel ballroom or a little escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, then this is the venue for you! We said YES to White Oak -and we highly recommend that you do too!

he catered to our every need & made sure everything happened for us after all the crazy changes & disappointments due to Covid. The whole team went above & beyond for us. We had a lot to do in a short time, but they made it happen. The night turned out better than we could have imagined, not to mention how beautiful it was. Jordan worked so hard to make sure everything I envisioned came to life. She made phone calls to figure out all the last minute vendors we needed just to take some tasks off of our hands. The food is amazing. The staff is unlike any other. (The make sure the bride, groom, and parents are taken care of all night- an awesome bonus) The grounds are beautiful. We are so so pleased with White Oak & would recommend them to everyone!

ing weddings there, and even when Covid-19 hit, she came up with several contingency plans for our wedding. Everything from the decor to the food to the staff at White Oak was perfect! I would recommend White Oak Estate and Gardens to anyone looking to plan an event or a wedding- they were wonderful!

s because they are so popular, they are not always able to be flexible with timing and they don’t always get back to you right away. Would recommend them every time!!

gs that could've been avoided had we met our day of coordinator before our rehearsal, but overall everything was wonderful! Let them know who the parents are, so they know who to take care of. My only piece of advice... Pay for the extra hour! You really do need it! The food was amazing! Our friends and family are still talking about how beautiful everything was.

d to constantly remind the few people that were even working to do, my parents didn’t feel like we got what we paid for. We feel as if white oak was more worried about the off site event rather than the event they were having there. There was not near enough chairs for guests at the ceremony, the fire places were not lit, and the heaters that were suppose to be out were not. The families of the bride and groom, plus the bride and groom were suppose to have a personal waitor and none of us did. It is not like my mom to complain one bit but as soon as I got home from the honeymoon she told me how disappointed she was. Overall we had a great wedding. White oak plantation is still beautiful, and we had a great time with all of our friends and family and other vendors but we do not feel as if white oak did their job and we did not get what we paid for. Everyone else that has gotten married here will tell you that it is the best thing ever and everyone was so helpful but we just did not get that help & I do feel like they shouldn’t of booked two big events if they couldn’t handle it.

e Oak over and over again!

r parents, giving us a dedicated server bringing us drinks all night and to-go boxes on our way out. Just a perfect experience! Would choose this place again every time!

ly. One of the MANY perks of this vendor is having your own attendant. We had Penny and she was awesome! Always made sure our drinks were full and so friendly! My wedding at White Oak was absolutely perfect with 0 issues.

out her wedding day. The food was good and the service was great. We’re very happy with how everything turned out.

uld HIGHLY recommend White Oak Plantation as a wedding venue to anyone looking for a beautiful and affordable place to get married. Not only was our outdoor ceremony just what we wanted, but the indoor space was gorgeous as well. We absolutely loved the covered patio area and so did our guests!

Penny (day of service attendant) were all wonderful to work with. Even though we only met Madison the week of, it was like she was there the whole time. And Ms. Penny I met right before ceremony started, she was so sweet and always made sure my cup was full. She will also get drinks and food for your's and your spouse's parents. The weather wasn't great for our day (it was muggy and it rained during the ceremony), but that was okay because I wanted to get married under the covered pavilion outside with the fireplace lit. It was definitely a beautiful backdrop! The ballroom is very beautiful too, and I had a great time on the dance floor with friends and family... so much so that my bustle came undone a couple of times. Not to worry, Madison came to my rescue to redo the bustle. At the end of the night, White Oak gifted us with a John Folse cookbook (he owns the property) and sent us and both of our sets of parents home with leftover food. The only things I didn't like were that I couldn't arrive until an hour before the wedding, and at that point it felt rushed because I had to get dressed there, take pictures of getting ready, do first look pictures, and by that time it was already time to line up the procession. I wish they would let brides arrive at least 2 hours beforehand so things don't feel as rushed. The second complaint is that the bridal suite was very hot, I don't think the thermostat worked. However, despite these complaints, I would do it here all over again because it was still perfect. Thanks so much to Jordan, Madison, and Penny for making the day perfect. Edit 11/1/18: I heard from numerous guests that their drinks from the bar did not have a lot of alcohol. However myself, husband and our parents, our drinks were made perfectly (probably because we had a separate attendant making our drinks). I was really disappointed to hear that my guests' drinks were weak since I paid for an open bar, so I am docking one star. Hopefully the bartender is more considerate to future brides.

due to the rain, it was under the pavilion. It couldn't have turned out more beautiful! The intimacy and beauty of the garden area was perfect. Our attendant was amazing all night, and the entire planning process was made super easy with the help of Jordan and Mary Claire, our wedding day coordinator. Highly highly recommend White Oak as your wedding venue!

on, helping us with many details that otherwise would have been missed. The staff at White Oak were all very friendly, helpful, and professional. The venue was set up perfectly for the wedding and reception, just as we had asked for. Five stars, would do it again with them!!!
