Weddings

Oatlands is a beautiful place, and we occasionally receive inquiries for weddings. We deeply appreciate the interest, but as a historic site—with historic buildings, gardens and, yes, historic plumbing—we are not situated to offer the amenities and support required of most weddings. Moreover, our history as a plantation guides us in that we are not only the caretakers of a beautiful, enjoyable place in the present, but the stewards of a former slave plantation. It is our mission to not only preserve but to respect that history. Consequently, weddings at Oatlands are rare occurrences and are taken on a case by case basis according to staff capacity. Considerations include, but are not limited to, wedding size, requested location on the property and connection to the site.
