Accommodations & Booking Structure

The Valora Oak Estate is booked by individual buildings, allowing couples to customize their experience based on their needs and guest count. The Main House is the centerpiece of the estate and serves as the primary overnight accommodation, sleeping up to 24 guests. It is ideal for wedding parties and immediate family who want to stay together on-site.

For couples needing additional lodging, the Cottage is available as an add-on and is located just steps from the Main House. The Cottage provides overnight accommodations for up to 14 additional guests, making it easy to keep your closest friends and family nearby throughout the weekend.

For receptions, indoor celebrations, or a weather backup option, The Club House can be added to your booking. This elegant indoor space is perfect for dining, dancing, and celebrating in style, and is also available for stand-alone, one-day events.

The Main House and The Clubhouse may both be booked individually for single-day events without overnight accommodations.

Please note: the Main House is not available for Saturday-only weddings.
