That combination of a 100-acre farm, a picturesque lake, comfortable spaces, and a warm, welcoming approach makes The Oaks a standout near Charlotte. For couples who want a private, lakeside farm wedding with an at-home feeling and easy access to Charlotte, The Oaks is a distinctive and welcoming choice.
Capacity & Layout
The Oaks is laid out to keep the whole celebration on one scenic, lakeside property. The ceremony area, located directly behind the event house, features a gorgeous gazebo with natural wood ceilings and a picturesque view of the four-acre lake. From there, a spacious 4,000-square-foot pavilion, which also enjoys gorgeous lake views, hosts the reception, offering plenty of space for everything needed to make the day magical. Because the pavilion is a fully enclosed space with heating and air, guests stay comfortable year-round, a real advantage for any season. That flow from a lakeside gazebo ceremony to a climate-controlled pavilion reception gives the day a natural progression and a genuine weather backup. The expansive event house adds a comfortable, inviting space for the day. That combination of a lake-view ceremony site and a spacious, climate-controlled pavilion suits both intimate weddings and larger celebrations on one private farm.
Amenities
The Oaks comes well equipped with comfortable, convenient amenities. The expansive event house offers an inviting space to spend the wedding day, complete with a bridal suite, three bedrooms, two sitting areas with fireplaces, a billiards room, and a breathtaking view of the four-acre lake, and limited on-site lodging is even available in the event house, so the wedding party can stay right on the property. The 4,000-square-foot pavilion is fully enclosed with heating and air, keeping guests comfortable in any season, and the lakeside gazebo gives couples a gorgeous ceremony setting. The 100 acres of farmland and the picturesque lake give photographers a beautiful, private range of backdrops. For the entertainment, the enclosed, climate-controlled pavilion gives a wedding DJ solid structure and controlled acoustics to build sound and lighting into, so the reception stays powerful and the dance floor stays full year-round.
Location & Getting There
The Oaks sits amongst 100 acres of farmland in Midland, in Cabarrus County just minutes from Uptown Charlotte, Interstate 485, and Charlotte-Douglas International Airport. That location is a genuine advantage, since guests coming from anywhere in the Charlotte metro have only a short drive, and the airport is exceptionally close for anyone flying in. Nearby Concord, Midland, and the greater Charlotte area offer abundant hotels, restaurants, and amenities for out-of-town guests, so the wedding weekend is easy to plan around, and the venue’s own limited lodging lets some guests stay right on the property. Yet the 100-acre farm, set back in a private area on a picturesque lake, gives the property a peaceful, at-home feel the moment you arrive, so it feels like a genuine country escape despite being minutes from the city. That balance of a private, lakeside farm with exceptional Charlotte-area access is a big part of what draws couples to The Oaks.
