10 Reasons Why The Oaklands Is The Perfect Wedding Venue
The Oaklands is one of our favourite #Yorkshire wedding venues. So, ahead of it wedding fair this Sunday, we thought we'd shine a light on this fabulous setting.
Set in 200 acres of woodland in the heart of rural East Yorkshire, this venue offers the perfect unique wedding fair location. This enchanting setting is also situated next to a nature reserve and boasts manicured lawns, grass glades, lakes, and a mix of wonderful wildlife, making it one of the most picturesque wedding venues in the area.
10 Reasons Why We Love The Oaklands...
1. Oaklands upholds a one-wedding-per-day policy, so couples have complete exclusivity of the venue for the full day.
2. Couples will find nothing corporate about Oaklands. It is a family-run business and the team here ensures each couple receives a personal, warm and friendly service.
3. For photographs nothing is prettier than the whimsical Secret Woodland. Oaklands is set in one of the largest woodland areas in East Yorkshire and here, couples can capture intimate and magical memories surrounded by the glow of candles and fairy lights.
4. Oaklands offers a truly unique setting for a wedding ceremony. The Wedding Pavilion is in the style of an amphitheatre, set on the bank of a small lake with seating for up to 200. This creates the ultimate outdoor wedding experience for couples and guests alike.
5. Couples and their guests can relax and unwind in The Shooting Lodge. This beautiful, rustic retreat comes complete with log-burning stoves, soft lighting, a lavish bar and a cosy snuggle area.
6. Planning a wedding can sometimes be a stressful affair, which is why each couple receives a dedicated wedding planner at Oaklands to ensure their wedding is absolutely perfect.
7. No matter the size of the celebration, Oaklands has spaces to suit, in the form of its giant Nordic tipis. They are the perfect party tent and create a truly unique atmosphere and ambience.
8. Every wedding at Oaklands is completely unique. No two weddings are ever the same, as the venue offers a range of furniture and props, as well as additional options to bring every couple’s vision to life.
9. Since couples have the venue entirely to themselves on the day, they’ll find Oaklands to be incredibly flexible with packages and requests.
10. Oaklands is a one-of-a-kind venue that can’t be found anywhere else, making every wedding here truly exclusive.
