Wow! I could not have had a better wedding experience anywhere other than Four Oaks Manor! My super wonderful coordinator, Ellen, thought of everything and was so amazingly helpful. The food was delicious. The owners are super sweet as well. The ceremony and reception went perfectly thanks to their hard work. I am so grateful to the Four Oaks Manor staff for helping me to have a perfect wedding day!

Our wedding was more romantic and beautiful than we could have imagined! With Ellen in charge, it flowed incredibly smooth as well. The control freak inside of me was perfectly at ease. The food is also amazing. Guests still comment about the food being the best food they have ever had at a wedding.
Thank you Four Oaks Manor for making our wedding a dream come true!

Thank you so much for being so great and helpful to us during our time at Four Oaks. We couldn't have asked or dreamed of a better day, and that is hugely because of all your hard work. Thank you so much!

The food was amazing, the decorations were beautiful, and everyone had a great time!

Four Oaks is a one stop shop of awesomeness!!! Randy and his whole team are so warm and welcoming. They really go out of the way to make sure your dreams come true without breaking the bank as well. The venue is GORGEOUS!! It's like getting married in a secret garden. I want to do the day all over again just thinking about it. The planning was the most stress-free process and so much fun!!! Ellen was our wedding planner and she really listened and helped to take our vision to the next level. Their preferred vendors are EVERYTHING! The food, the flowers, the bartenders! Everyone was on time and professional and the food was soo good! I can't say enough about how happy I am that we chose this venue.

Best wedding venue ever. Everyone of the staff was sweet, excellent and extremely attentive. My groom and I felt like a King and Queen! I fell in Love with Four Oaks the minute I walked into the foyer. From that point all the way through the wedding it was the most loving and peaceful experience. Highly recommend!!!
Thank you Four Oaks Manor and especially to Morgan Cannova. You are awesome and stay so calm and sweet.

This place was/is AMAZING!! My Wedding was on April 26, 2019 and I dreamed of a Spring outdoor Wedding with a rustic/natural look and our wedding coordinator Ellen nailed it!! She made my vision and dream come true and I could not be happier! My husband and I wanted a very small/intimate/cozy wedding of just 20 people and it was beyond perfect. Everything came together just perfectly. Our day had a very laid back feeling which was exactly what we wanted. Everyone raved about how BEAUTIFUL everything was , how good the food was and how organized and nice the staff was. I honestly can not wait to do another event here in the future! I LOVE THIS PLACE!

Four Oaks was the perfect venue for us! The manor house and grounds have an intimate, southern charm (from the lush, beautiful foliage to lots of knick knacks and rustic decor). They require catering in-house, and offer a southern inspired menu to personalize. We felt very supported from start to finish with our provided coordinator, Morgan! And the florist they require you to work with is very kind and talented. They were willing to make some edits to their design to fit our budget. Overall, we were very pleased with our sweet and intimate wedding celebration, and recommend Four Oaks to others looking for a beautiful venue with supportive staff!

Four Oaks went above and beyond to help with our wedding.  Morgan especially did an amazing job answering ALL of my questions and coordinating everything all day.  We got so many comments from friends and family mentioning how Morgan was on top of everything the entire night.  We lucked out and got fantastic weather, but they were set up to handle rain with no issue.  The venue was just beautiful and we can't recommend it enough!

I just had to email you and let you know just how amazing your staff is at Four Oaks!  Last Saturday our daughter, Katie, was married there and it was absolutely perfect ... Morgan is so very good at her job - her performance was seamless.  She is really amazingly calm and calming and very organized. Brandon is such a hard worker! I know that I don't even know they half of what he does, but he was so instrumental in making everything work and up and running. As much as I dreaded the tents, he was great about giving us time to decide and he was right about them being pretty. They looked very nice and I loved the way it turned out. 
The chef was, well, AMAZING! I have heard from so many people that it was the best food that they have ever had at a reception and I completely agree. It was as delicious Saturday night as it was at the tasting we attended.  
Lauren's group did a great job as well! They jumped into action when there was a mix up and we were short one bridesmaid bouquet. They were great! I never felt stressed and believe me... that is quite an accomplishment!  
Thank you all for making this very important day the best day we could imagine! Sincerely, Nancy McRee​

It took about 5 steps into this place before we knew this was exactly how we wanted to get married! From day one with locking in our wedding date to saying "I do", the staff at Simple Gatherings at Four Oaks Manor were simply amazing! Special shout-out to Morgan Cannova, our wedding coordinator at the venue! She is so awesome to work with and kept us on our toes with several creative ideas that really put a special touch to the wedding! I never thought in a million years as a guy that I would actually be excited about going to the wedding planning meetings! That's how awesome this place is! The entire process was easy and mapped out professionally. We wanted a venue that was as turn key as possible and we got just that! By the way, treat yourself to one of their food tastings, you will thank yourself! They also have great partnerships with preferred vendors and everyone really came through to make our wedding perfect! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, thank you, thank you for making our special day just that! For anyone seeking out their future wedding venue, this place has the bar set high and I challenge you not to fall in love with it!

We have had numerous family events at Four Oaks Manor including several baby showers, birthday parties and my parents' wedding anniversary. When we decided on a December 10th Christmas theme wedding, I knew it had to be at Four Oaks Manor. The owners, Randy and Mary Beth, are so friendly and accommodating. We had several private planning meetings and they happily attended to every detail. With the warm weather, we thought we would be able to have the wedding at the outdoor ceremony site. Unfortunately, it turned cold and other arrangements had to be made. The staff worked tirelessly to put up tents and get heaters. Everything about our wedding day was just perfect. The food, floral decorations, candles, twinkling lights and Christmas trees made the evening magical. We were honored to have Randy officiate the ceremony.
The entire experience, from planning to us getting in the limo to leave, was absolutely perfect. I want to thank everyone involved and let them know how much I appreciate them. I cannot have imagined having our wedding anywhere else!

Four Oaks was outstanding for our wedding, especially the day of. Emily our coordinator and Brandon the manager were always close by and willing do anything we asked. The grounds were stunning the day of the wedding. People could dance, walk around, or hang by the fire pit. Everyone had a great time. We went with the outdoor dance floor, which I highly recommended to keep the party centralized. Thanks Four Oaks for making our day amazing.

I would encourage any prospective bride to consider this venue. My daughter got married there on 6/4/16. Four Oaks Manor exceeded our expectations! The venue is a hidden gem with it's beautiful garden setting, rustic wedding arbor, carriage house and lovely historical home. The staff was kind, attentive, and responsive to all our needs from the moment we made our decision to the actual wedding day. I cannot say enough about Kelley our wedding coordinator. She was sweet, wonderful and amazing to work with! She made us feel special, kept us on schedule even when we got an unexpected rain shower shortly before the ceremony, and continued to calm any worries we had due to the weather. The venue is affordable, the décor options were perfect, the food is amazing. They even provided 2 gluten free meals which our guests raved about. Their preferred vendors were also great to work with. I want to thank Kelley, and the rest of the staff for giving my daughter her dream wedding. Be sure to go visit this venue you won't be disappointed.

Loved everything about our Daughter’s Wedding. When we first toured the venue, it was very hard to visualize just how Beautiful things would turn out. It was winter when we first went to take a look so it was difficult for me to imagine the place coming to life. But It does!! We went back for the Open House and had the opportunity to sample some of the items that could be selected for the Menu. Talk about WOW! So we planned a late afternoon wedding and evening reception. It was the first of May, The weather was beautiful, flowers were in bloom, the lights were lit in the trees and the overall organization was unbelievable. Staff was amazing and Emily handled things so perfectly. I don't think I could ever be able to show them how much we appreciate their attentiveness to every little detail. We have gotten so many great comments on the wedding and how awesome the dinner was. I can’t think of one thing that went wrong that day… it was magical and everything our baby girl dreamed of. She got to be a PRINCESS for a day and didn’t have to worry about a thing. From the start of the day, Emily and her team made sure they did not miss a beat. The girls had such a great time getting dressed upstairs in the very accommodating Bridal Suite. All I can say is Thanks for helping our Family make this milestone so incredible Simple Gatherings at Four Oaks Manor. Side Note .....The Grooms Mom also had the Rehearsal Dinner there. Made it very easy for our families to navigate throughout the weekend.

We LOVED our beautiful wedding day at Four Oaks Manor! Sweet, easy going Savannah was our planner. We met with her several times to work out different details. She kept us on track with planning worksheets. She took care of the details. We didn't have to stress out knowing that she was coordinating our day. Savannah was there on our wedding day making sure all details were carried out. She was quick to respond to emails and calls. She did a fantastic job! The day of our wedding was gorgeous. The venue is full of beautiful azaleas, trees, and flowers. It is breathtaking with all the little pathways, buildings, and gazebo. The Chef's food was amazing! We had a champagne brunch with ham, quiche, and chicken Florentine. The chef worked with us to allow for cheese grits and biscuits. We also had the spicy shrimp skewer appetizers. Yum!!! Let me just say, there were NO leftovers. Everyone enjoyed the food and pleasant scenery.
This is a fantastic venue. The only thing we had to provide were the wedding dress/tux, cake, and champagne. This is a wonderful one stop shop so to speak. It made our lives so much easier not to worry about every tiny detail. Our guests loved the venue, simply beautiful. Thanks Savannah for helping us pull off a wonderful wedding!!!

First of all, I would like to thank the entire Four Oaks crew for making my dream wedding become a reality! Kelley did an amazing job coordinating (as well as Emily) and put so much detail into everything! Since we were paying for a lot of our wedding on our own, they took this into consideration and worked with us as much as possible. I truly believe we got more than our money's worth when all was said and done! On the day of, we pretty much just showed up and walked into a beautiful spring setting with everything set just the way we had planned during our meetings. Thank you Brandon for helping set up and Randy (the owner) for working with our budget:) The food is amazing (especially the chicken florentine) and my guests have been talking about the beautiful rustic venue since we said "I do!" I could go on and on about this place with nothing but good things to say but I think this pretty much sums it up! Thank you Four Oaks!

Wow! Our wedding was everything we imagined and more! From the very start, we knew Four Oaks Manor was special. The staff were all extremely courteous and accommodating, and our coordinator Emily kept us all level-headed on the big day. Each and every detail was attended to, and almost everything was taken care of in-house. All we needed to provide was the cake, the rings and the dress. This was the perfect space for our wedding of 30 guests, though our initial guest list of 140 would have still been beautiful. The Four Oaks team of Randy, Emily, Brandon, Chef Craig and Kelly were very professional. Our guests are still raving about our prime rib buffet and how excellent the food and wait staff was. We will definitely be back for more events to come!

She set up structured and well planned meetings to make sure we had all of the details covered. Really took a lot of pressure off of us. The staff were flexible and responsive the day of our wedding. All of our guests loved the venue and the food. It's such a beautiful place and we are so happy that we chose Four Oaks for our wedding.

We were married last November and had a fabulous day. Four Oaks put our wedding together in less than 60 days and had the place perfect for over 70 guests. Savannah was fabulous and never seemed ruffled. The cost and value was everything we were looking for and the the set up was perfect. I really cannot say anything negative except that it ended too quickly. Thank you to all the staff at Four Oaks Manor for all of their hard work and attention to detail. We were able to just enjoy our day and I cannot say how many people tell us it was their favorite wedding ever!

We want to thank everyone that worked with me on our special day. Kelley is the best...she met with me on several occasions and used such creativity to achieve my exact vision. The decorations were better than I could have ever imagined they could be, and even though it sprinkled here and there everything was great. After all was said and done my wedding day was AMAZING! The food was SO GOOD!! I had so many guests talk about the encrusted chicken! the servers were so fast on everything. We recommend Four Oaks Manor to anyone that wants to have the most wonderful day to remember and to work.

Wow, wow, wow!! What an absolutely perfect venue! I was simply blown away with the level of service we received from Four Oaks Manor before and during our wedding. The staff was fantastic, extremely attentive and professional. The food was great! We had a low country boil and our guests are still talking about it. Our wedding coordinator Kelley was amazing - detailed, organized and a joy to work with. She took care of everything! I could not believe the attention to detail, every little thing was handled. DJ Aaron was awesome and fun, another joy to work with. The gardens are beautiful. The venue is private and romantic, with twinkly lights and candles everywhere . We were planning to wed at Lake Lanier Islands but Four Oaks offered so much more for a far better price. They delivered on everything I wanted for our special day: the décor, the flowers, the ambiance was perfect. We had over 100 guests and everyone remarked how beautiful the venue was and how much fun they had. Thank you Four Oaks for an unforgettable wedding.

Simple Gatherings at Four Oaks Manor not only provided a cute and intimate setting with very friendly help, but they do most the work for you! They take care of catering with delicious food, decorate with all sorts of cute lights and lanterns and candles, arrange getting your flowers done for you, set up the music for the night, and whatever else you need. No extra hidden costs or sticking you with extra things at the end... We had some cold weather unexpectedly and they hurried to put up tents and heaters and make everyone comfortable without any issues.

Randy, Laura & Staff:  I don't have enough words to express my appreciation for all y'all did to make Amanda & Jim's wedding day the best it could possibly be.

It was a dream come true for Amanda & for me too!!  I can't thank you enough - I will be referring you to anyone that needs what you have to offer!

I cannot begin to describe how wonderful our wedding was. This 1920's home is full of character and charm. Four Oaks Manor was an absolute dream to work with. They were accommodating and cooperative in creating my vision... Every element of our wedding was just lovely. Thank you, Four Oaks Manor.

​Ameila & Robert's Wedding
October 22th, 2011 | Wedding & Reception
Here is a little tidbit about the couple, and about this shoot from the photographer: Amelia and Robert's wedding at Four Oaks Manor in Buford was rustic, friendly and gorgeous with a ton of beautiful and personalized touches!  Amelia was a stunning bride in a beautiful A-line strapless gown with a simple train, perfect for the venue! Not to mention that her smile can completely light up a room! :)  Ameilia and Robert's "love birds" wedding theme was played out on their wedding programs, bird cage centerpiece and even the sweet wooden cake topper. We also loved the hints of purple spread throughout their wedding day, from the groomsmen's purple Converse shoes (loved them!) to the purple wildflowers sprinkled through the bouquets and boutonnieres and even Mia's purple cardigan for the reception. We also can't sing enough praises for Four Oaks Manor. Not only was the staff super friendly and helpful, the venue itself offers a really fun mix of indoor and outdoor settings, including a large cozy fire pit, an adorable old barn (which acted as the outdoor bar at Mia's wedding), tons of beautiful sparkle lights strung up throughout the venue, and a great indoor dance hall.

Planning my entire wedding from Puerto Rico, only coming into town four days prior to my wedding day, Randy, Mary-Beth and Laurens were amazing! I had no clue what I wanted or even what I supposed to know. They all were so wonderful helping me, even with being in another country! Once the Big Day came, I had no worries in the world! I knew that everything was taken care of and I just needed to relax and hang with my girls while getting dressed... My husband and I will be forever grateful!

My daughter just got married this past weekend, I can honestly say this wedding venue is absolutely one of the best I have ever seen. Everything was beautiful, the house, carriage house and grounds are just gorgeous! The outdoor garden and flowers are beautiful, and they have this huge tree in the center out back that was in full bloom with pink blooms last weekend which only added to the lovely charm of the beautiful grounds... We would just like to say thank you to the entire staff at Simple Gatherings at Four Oaks Manor for making my Daughter's dream wedding  come true :) Joan Seaton

August, 2009 | Wedding & Reception 
My now husband and I wanted to get married close to home but far away from the realities of everyday life... It felt like you were far away from our lives but in reality we were only 5 miles from home... After all was said and done my wedding day was AMAZING!  We started with a luncheon for all the women in the morning and it was perfect. The food was amazing and the timing was perfect...They took into consideration my gluten allergy as well as the budget and the variety of folks we had at the wedding. I recommend Four Oaks Manor to anyone that wants to have the most wonderful day of their lives to remember an  to work with people that are genuine, accommodating, and friendly and almost like part of the family when all is said and done!!
