ONCE UPON A LIFETIME . . . LIVE OAK

Offering extensive assistance in planning and executing events, Live Oak is an all-in-one venue for weddings and receptions, providing a worry-free day-of preparation for the entire wedding party in one convenient location, reducing cost, planning, and stress. 

On the wedding day, wedding parties enjoy the leisure of time for photography, hair, make-up, and preparation in the elegant bridal suite and groom’s suite. Guests enjoy strolling among the ancient oaks on the breathtaking lakeside terrace, a perfect setting for beautiful wedding celebrations. Guests can explore the sprawling grounds, amenities and enhancements, including the lakeside cabin featuring local historical artifacts and history of the land and local agriculture.

Renters may select their own caterer, DJ, and bartender from Live Oak's list of licensed and insured vendors. 

TOURS

Weekdays (M-F) from 9am until dusk (weekends reserved for events). Please allow 1-2 hours. Due to the comprehensive nature of tours, it is highly recommended that all individuals involved in decision making be present.

Tours:   850-449-2100 or donna@LiveOakPlantation.com

PRIVATE CHARTERS

If a horse drawn carriage is what your vision, look no further.  Ubers, private taxis and bus shuttle services can be arranged with local transportation vendors.

RAIN BACK-UP PLAN

Weather is NEVER an issue! The large 3,800 sq. ft. air-conditioned reception hall with a large, covered veranda overlooking Lake Blue Heron is THE place for lavish receptions following the wedding ceremony and cocktail hour under the oaks (capacity 180 -- extra fee applies to guests over 125). With soaring 18 ft. vaulted ceilings adorned with glittering Venetian chandeliers, old bricks, ancient beams, mahogany bar, and dance floor, it is the perfect setting to celebrate your wedding with dinner and dancing.  In case of inclement weather, the reception hall is large enough to accommodate the wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, if needed.
