Ceremony Sites

The Boxwood Parterre

After enjoying a walk down a country lane admiring the lush Loudoun landscape, guests are treated to their first view of the garden. The Boxwood Parterre offers a formal, defined look- The manicured boxwoods create a center aisle with ample room on either side to seat guests. Accommodates up to 250 guests.

The Sundial Parterre

Share your vows beneath the shade of the mighty magnolias on the Sundial Parterre. The flagstone walkway leads you toward the 18th century Italian sundial. As the engraved message on the sundial states, "time passes, memories remain". Make your memories at Oatlands.                                                                                            Accommodates up to 250 guests.                                                                                                   

Cocktail hour

Following the ceremony, your guests are invited to venture further into the gorgeous gardens where bartenders await. Drink in hand, your friends and family may take adantage of all the lovely 4.5-acre gardens have to offer- the aged boxwoods, seasonal and exotic flora, and an overall feeling of peace and beauty.

 While your guests are thusly distracted, you and your bridal party capture amazing shots before joining the party.
