Oakdale

Set on a large rural property in Ashland, Virginia, Oakdale offers a modern barn setting for weddings, private celebrations and selected business events. Its farmland, ponds and open countryside provide a scenic backdrop, with several outdoor locations available for ceremonies and photographs. The main building offers climate-controlled indoor space, while a covered porch and open patio with a fire pit give guests room to gather outdoors.

The venue welcomes wedding parties of up to around 200 guests and also hosts birthdays, anniversaries, family reunions, corporate retreats, meetings, training sessions and nonprofit functions. Wedding arrangements can include use of the ceremony site and property, time for a rehearsal, a day-of coordinator, tables and chairs, linens, glassware and barware. The wedding package also lists DJ service, bartenders, parking assistance and golf cart transport for guests. A bridal party suite gives the couple and wedding party a place to prepare, and a caterer’s prep kitchen supports outside food providers.

Organisers can also enquire about private-event rentals, with different access arrangements from wedding bookings. Outside vendors are welcome, allowing planners to select suppliers that suit their event. The property has parking for cars and larger vehicles, indoor and outdoor audio, a wireless microphone system and accessible facilities. With its combination of countryside scenery, practical event amenities and flexible use for both personal and professional gatherings, Oakdale gives organisers a distinctive venue base near Ashland and the wider Richmond area.
