Our tented area isn’t just for the reception...

Couples can hold their ceremony here too when the weather shifts or they want a little more coverage. It’s still bright and open to the grounds, just with a roof over your head. ✨

Just another way to make our outdoor wedding venue in North Carolina work for you.

Film and Super 8 are trending on the 2026 wedding scene, giving Raleigh couples the kind of photos that already feel nostalgic by the time you get them back.

Some things really do get better with age. 🤍

August has a way of reminding you just how fast summer goes by…

Wedding days are a little like that too. You spend months waiting for them, and suddenly you're in the middle of it all, surrounded by your favorite people, wishing you could slow everything down.

Quiet moments by the pond. A sweet photographer in training. It's the little moments happening between the big ones that make the day yours.

Summer won't last forever, but these memories in Apex, NC will. ✨

currently dreaming of fall 🍂

Summer's great & all, but fall weddings at our private estate in Apex just have a certain something about them. The grounds turn golden, the Manor House feels a little moodier.

And a black-and-white palette layered with golden oranges and greenery? SO chic. 🖤

Consider this your sign to start romanticizing your fall wedding in North Carolina.

Mismatched to perfection ✨

Working with a color palette lets your wedding party play with different textures, prints, and silhouettes without losing cohesion.

This is a wedding trend we’ve been seeing more and more around Raleigh, and one we hope stays for a while. 🤍

Riya & Grant 🤍

With 11 acres of greenery, the pond, the historic Manor House, and plenty of tucked-away corners, there’s no shortage of places to sneak off for portraits at The Oaks.

Just one of the perks of an outdoor wedding in North Carolina.

aw shucks 🦪

Little details can make the biggest impression.

Delicate florals, warm wood tables, gold accents, and oyster shell place cards that give a subtle nod to the Carolina coast. We can't stop staring. 🤍
