I recently photographed a wedding at Oakdale RVA in the Fall and it was such a wonderful experience! The venue coordinator that worked with my clients, Jeniffer, was great and the day was seamless! All the staff members were so kind and the guests had a great time.

Oakdale is fantastic for weddings or other events. The staff is knowledgeable and super friendly and able to accommodate any special requests. The grounds are stunning and so is the view from every angle. Put this one on your list!

Getting married at Oakdale

Oakdale comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.

Corporate events & private parties at Oakdale

Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Oakdale — barn venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
