Create your wedding with the help of the Oaks team

What sets Oaks apart when planning your wedding? Versatility and convenience are at the forefront of what the Oaks team does. Spanning intimate ceremonies through to extravagant cultural weddings, or even a modern minimalist celebration, the team has done it all and can do it all.

Each venue is like a blank canvas – your love story, your rules. Oaks works closely with couples to bring Pinterest boards and wedding dreams to life, offering flexible wedding packages, on-site event coordinators, and customisable options to suit every dream, budget, and vibe.

Who says ‘Yes’ at Oaks?

A wedding at Oaks is ideal for busy couples looking to balance their everyday lives with the stresses of wedding planning. Couples who choose Oaks typically look for a celebration big on style but light on fuss. Many are after a domestic destination wedding with all the romance but none of the passport panic. 

There is also a strong focus on large-scale, family-focused weddings coupled with cultural celebrations. The spacious venues, on-site accommodation, and flexible spaces allow those who have multi-day events or want to include significant cultural ceremonies to do so easily. 

The unifying theme? Couples who want a seamless, sophisticated wedding experience with plenty of personal flair… And maybe a cocktail or two by the pool.

Oaks doesn’t just do weddings, it does the whole love story! Engagement parties, rehearsal dinners, showstopping proposals, and even recovery brunches for those a little bleary-eyed. It’s even the ideal spot for a honeymoon! 

Whatever part of the journey you’re on, the expert events team can help plan and perfect it with as much or as little involvement as you and your partner want to make.

Planning perks include:

• On-site coordinators to guide you every step of the way.
• Group accommodation deals for your guests.
• Preferred supplier lists to take the guesswork out of finding the perfect photographer, florist or DJ.
