For Outdoor Ceremonies...

Southern Oaks is situated on an acre shaded by century-old oak and pecan trees.


INSIDE, there are 3 gathering areas:
The Dining Room, The Parlor, and The Ballroom. The Parlor and Dining Rooms can be set up with buffet tables and/or guest tables seating 24 in each room. The Ballroom can be set up for intimate weddings of 75 or less; and can be set up with tables for a sit-down dinner for up to 56 guests. Using all of the rooms can accommodate approximately 150 people for a reception--where some guests are seated at tables in some rooms, and some guests sit in chairs around the perimeter of the ballroom. There is also space for a DJ in the ballroom.


The wide hallway can accommodate setting up buffet tables for food service, if the other rooms are being used for seating. It is also a good spot to place a gift table.


OUTSIDE, the spacious front porch with white columns is a charming space to set up guest tables and chairs, to put barrels of drinks, or to pose for photographs.

Some brides set up tables and chairs on the front lawn, and put their bride & groom and attendant tables on the front porch overlooking their guest tables.

Our back yard area includes the garden gazebo for ceremonies, and plenty of flat lawn for setting up a tent for receptions.  There are several electrical outlets for DJ/music and other uses.

We've recently added an outdoor arbor and small patio with white park benches for an additional photo or seating area.


There is parking for up to 175 guests, although special arrangements can be made for larger groups.
