Historic Oakland Manor — Attraction in Columbia

My husband and I recently got married at Historic Oakland. We first thought to have a courthouse wedding until our family made our wedding dreams happened. My sister in law recommended Historic Oakland and I was so grateful she did. There are so many places to have the ceremony and reception and the house is yours. Several different rooms for everyone to get ready and SO much room. The hardest part was picking which location for which part of the wedding because everywhere was so beautiful. I loved everything about my wedding.

To say the staff at Historic Oakland was beyond amazing is an understatement. From the very first tour, I worked with LaTasha the entire time. She was so friendly and was willing to do anything possible to help make it the wedding of my dreams. Any wedding nerves you had were quickly calmed with LaTasha quick responses. The day of, was just as much of a breeze. We worked with Lisa who was always right there with any questions we had and did whatever she could to help things run smoothly. While getting ready I started to get a little nervous and felt hot (it was NOT hot in there) and Lisa turned the AC down even lower. Just for me. Those two ladies I’ll always remember.

I would hands down recommend Historic Oakland for any event you have, wedding, baby shower, bridal shower, birthday party, etc. the venue is absolutely beautiful and the staff is beyond helpful and caring.

Thank you LaTasha, Lisa & all of the staff at Historic Oakland for helping to make it the wedding...

I just had my wedding here on June 4th and the wedding itself was a success and we received wonderful compliments on the location and how beautiful the day was but the stress that we went through with some of their staff was uncalled for. Between not recieving paperwork when we signed the contract to have to put out more money for some details they had overlooked with said paperwork to other details we apparently could not negotiate on it was a fight the whole way to the wedding day. Along with our rehearsal dinner which had to be changed because they do not have rehearsals during the weekend which we were not told in advance but just a two mere weeks before the scheduled date we signed for that they overlooked when w we signed the contract. Thankfully they did have some other wonderful people on their staff that did help us, from advice to paperwork from Freddy to Daniel helping us that night with any little thing that came up these two people helped in so many ways to make our special day happen. All in all I say if you choose this location for a wedding make sure to look into every single detail from inside to out and if you find it's the place for you I hope you enjoy your special ...

My husband and I had our wedding here a little over a year ago and have mixed feelings about our experience here. During the wedding planning, LaTasha was fantastic to work with. She was extremely responsive over email and our interactions were very positive with her. However, there were some things in our contract with Historic Oakland that were very unclear. As these concerns arose, we worked with the staff to find appropriate solutions until the day of our wedding. When we arrived at our venue, the lights under the tent were not working properly (or so we were told by their staff member on duty). This was something that was supposed to be included in the package that we'd purchased. After the fact, we contacted them to let them know of our disappointment and nothing was done to rectify the situation. We went back and forth between Historic Oakland staff and the rental company that they work with, Elite Tents and Events, to find a solution and in the end neither party took responsibility for what had happened. Our wedding was beautiful but we left with such a bitter taste from the lack of professionalism that we decided not to share any of our wedding photos with them for use in...
