This is a beautiful venue for a wedding. Katherine and her staff were great in assisting our wedding planner. The gardens are lovely and everyone attending the wedding loved the area.

Oatlands Plantation is a simply beautiful venue. The gardens are stunning and my daughters wedding could not have been more perfect. We were most fortunate to have absolutely great weather; sunny and not too hot, which certainly was a plus and made both the ceremony and reception very pleasant. The ceremony was held in the lower garden, which is so lovely with it's gazebo, perfect for the strings players! The reception was held in the the upper gardens which very nicely accommodated all 170 of our guests. Tours of the mansion were available during the reception. Dinner and dancing was under the tent, beautifully situated outside the gardens, in front of the mansion. Katherine Farley of Oatlands was wonderful to work with and she was always helpful and responsive. She was on site during the wedding and we were confident that everything was going to run smoothly. She was also helpful in suggesting our wedding planner, True Wedding Events, and between the two of them, my daughte... Read morers wedding truely was perfect. I would hightly recommend Oatlands as a venue. It lends itself to an elegant, beautiful wedding.

This is the most beautiful venue. We got so many complements on how pretty and elegant Oatlands was. Kathryn and her team were so accommodating and sweet. They couldn't have been nicer or more enthusiastic. Note that it may get hot. The weather was perfect for us but if it was any hotter, it would have been uncomfortable- but this is true with any outdoor location. At least this one is breathtaking

Oatlands is absolutely amazing. The weather was perfect and everyone told me over and over how beautiful the gardens were for the ceremony and cocktail hour. The reception on the lawn was breathtaking, especially at night when it lit up the lawn!!

Oatlands wedding coordinators, Katherine Farley and Susan Wight, know how to throw a wedding. They were very responsive to our many questions and helped us plan the perfect wedding. Oatlands Plantation is such a beautiful setting to begin with, but having Katherine and Susan around to make sure everything goes smoothly was such a bonus.

This is possibly the most beautiful place in Virginia to get married. Katherine Farley was great to work with. The garden is beautiful. It really cut down the floral cost!

The wedding was amazing. Oatlands is just gorgeous! They are quick to respond to emails and answer question. My only problem-- which is basically the same problem I had with every single person in the wedding business-- is that when things don't go according to the plan, everyone stands around like deer in headlights. I think that they should probably have walkie-talkies for vendors to use at the event since the space is big. It was hard to communicate and troubleshoot with people scattered throughout the large venue. Keep in mind the vendors don't know each other well (or at all) so saving cell phone numbers every weekend and remembering new names doesnt seem feasible. I think that if the Oatlands staff member, the caterer's head staff member, and my wedding coordinator all had walkie-talkies it would have been easier. As for value, DC is just expensive. That's not really a reflection of the venue, though.

Absolutely the most GORGEOUS location. It was the wedding venue of my dreams! One of the only downsides to Oatlands is that you are required to choose a caterer from a select list. While this can be limiting, it can also be helpful in that it narrows your choices in an industry where there seem to be a million caterers per city block. Another limiting factor is that you are required to use Oatlands' selected vendor for the reception tent - Select Event Rentals. Select was easy to work with, but seemed rather overpriced. Katherine Farley, the events coordinator at Oatlands, was extremely helpful at the rehearsal and wedding day - she helped to coordinate everything and definitely knew what she was doing. She made the day less stressful for me! Another major plus of Oatlands - the site rental fee is 80% tax deductible! I recommend this venue 100%.

This venue is absolutely GORGEOUS! I had so many comments about this place. Katherine was a great person to work with. She was very flexible and made the wedding planning go very smoothly.

Oatlands is one of the most gorgeous outdoor venues in the area. I immediately fell in love with the property and knew I had to be married there. Katherine was wonderful to work with, very personable and organized. If you are looking to have an outdoor wedding, check this place out, you'll love it!

The venue was absolutely beautiful! There are some fairly strict limitations as to what you can do, i.e., you must use a single tent vendor, but the overall experience was excellent! The event coordinator was absolutely EXCELLENT to work with!!

Oatlands Plantation was the first and only location I visted before deciding this was where I wanted to get married. Regardless of the season, this property is absolutely amazing- I've seen it decorated for Christmas, covered in snow, on warm/sunny spring days... It began to rain 30 minutes before our garden ceremony was to begin, the staff was flexible with my request to call a rain delay and then helped our caterers/planner dry off seats for our guests! I cannot say this enough- the grounds are beautiful! This place is to die for!
