you and your wedding Every event at the Plantation is unique. “I don’t remember any two weddings being alike. We want people to take advantage of the different locations here,” says Trish. “We only hold 10 events a year here, so we have time to devote to your wedding. You’ll get lots of personal attention.”
If your guests are traveling to attend the wedding, they can stay at the plantation or one of the many hotels and bed & breakfasts within an easy drive of Lake O’ The Woods. There is a 22 x 66 foot pool, tennis courts, a fullyequipped, air-conditioned gym, 80 acres of woods and pasture for long rambles, and ponds for fishing. Nearby, you can indulge in spa treatments, golf, horseback riding, boating, sailing or even sky-diving. If you prefer indoor activities, there are museums, shopping, fine-dining, historical tours, and theaters within easy access to the plantation. You may enjoy it there so much that you’ll decide to skip the hassle of traveling and have your honeymoon there instead. Just a little way over the Virginia-North Carolina line, it’s a convenient way to have a destination wedding that is convenient for guests. Just 90 minutes from Richmond, it’s a nice drive—if you prefer, you can fly into Raleigh.
Trish will work with you and tailor every detail to your specifications. She has an extensive vendor list that includes everything from a minister to a florist or DJ. If you want it, she will find a way to make it happen. They can accommodate 340 people for a buffet or 120 seated for a plated meal, so there is ample space. Secluded and quiet, it transports you to an earlier, more gracious era. It is Trish’s chief desire that you feel at home. Watch the game on the big screen TV, relax by the pool, play tennis. It has the amenities of a miniresort with the privacy of your own home. What could be more perfect than that during this hectic time? As with any popular venue, please try to book at least six months ahead. Contact Trish Peters for arrangements and availability. Lake O’
