A beautiful, unique, and historic venue
A beautiful, unique, and historic venueThe Greek word Agapae is best translated as unlimited, unconditional love. With our ancient live oak trees reaching up and outwards, we hope all those who visit to experience expansive connection over time and place. The family owners of Agapae Oaks have lovingly cared for and shared with the community this beautiful marshfront property since purchasing it 35 years ago. It has hosted many weddings and events, including annual camps for underprivileged children from the Carolinas. We aspire to place our hopes and dreams looking toward the future, where strength of commitment, selfless connection, and an overcoming-type of love will build lasting years of promise, mutual service, and joy. Couples are free to design their own custom wedding with the many potential ceremony and reception areas. In the shadow of our own beautifully crafted wooden cross if desired, you might choose to be married under palmettos, pecan, and live oak trees that line our expansive marsh view, beneath an ancient “angel oak” tree in front of a wildlife filled freshwater pond and footbridge, or near the graceful porch steps of the historic home. Your reception can be under the stars or under a rented tent alongside our marsh front, not far from the 1700’s house. We allow vendors of your choice for your elopement, micro-wedding, or largest possible gathering of friends and loved ones. Our 100- acre property offers complete privacy, though it is located less than 15 minutes from major stores and 20 minutes from charming Beaufort and beaches like Hunting Island State Park and Fripp Island Resort. You may celebrate all through the night. Bridal party preparation spaces are beautiful and comfortable in themselves, located in both the Main House and our Yellow Bunk House. We even offer on-site sleeping accommodations for up to 22 guests for a very reasonable flat rate for the weekend. Because we rent the property mostly for a weekend (for larger weddings), you are able to enjoy long walks in our meadows, fishing on the dock, rehearsal dinner or other spontaneous gatherings, and relaxing on the breezy front porch as a private getaway for your dearest family and friends. Located in the heart of The Low Country near Beaufort, South Carolina, Agapae Oaks shares the area’s natural beauty. The Plantation House dates back to 1790 and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Ancient live oaks, pecan orchards, ponds and large vistas of pristine marshlands grace the property.
