The Oak Lodge

Our perfect bridal prep area to start your day

The Oak Lodge is a private, beautifully styled space designed for the morning of your wedding, a calm place to get ready, gather your closest people, and begin the day.

Inside, The Oak Lodge is beautifully styled with thoughtful details throughout, offering plenty of room for you, your bridal party, and your hair and makeup team to settle in comfortably. Soft seating, warm lighting and wonderful natural light create a relaxed atmosphere while you get ready.

A dressing table provides the perfect space for hair and makeup, while practical touches such as heating, blankets, a music speaker, and a tea and coffee station help everyone feel at home from the moment they arrive.

The Garden areas

Set beneath a canopy of trees and opening onto its own private courtyard, the lodge offers a relaxed place to gather with your closest people as the excitement of the day begins. Wildflower beds surround the space, with a patio and outdoor seating area that allows you to enjoy the fresh air and quiet moments before the celebrations start. French doors connect the indoor and outdoor spaces, making it easy to move between the two as the morning unfolds.

The Dress Reveal

The dress reveal is a truly special moment, whether shared with the person walking you down the aisle or your bridesmaids. It’s the instant when it all sinks in: you’re about to walk down the aisle and marry the love of your life. These intimate moments are perfect for laughter, happy tears, and memories that will last forever,  beautifully captured by your photographer.

Those Final Moments

The Oak Lodge is the perfect spot for capturing those unforgettable bridal photos. From the full-length mirror in the private changing nook, to the clean white walls for a crisp, elegant backdrop, and the vibrant garden areas just outside, there’s a beautiful photo opportunity around every corner. Every detail, from the soft natural light to the charming outdoor spaces, creates the perfect setting for memories that will last a lifetime.
