Elegance Inspired by Nature

Oaks on the River creates an ideal space for your next event

Imagine being surrounded by loved ones in a space beautiful and inspiring. That vision can become more than your imagination when you work with the creative, caring staff of Oaks on the River to plan an event. The boutique resort hotel, nestled in the charming town of Darien, Georgia, opened its doors in 2022 – and, thanks to its location on a beautiful riverbank among historic oaks, events of all kinds are quickly becoming the hallmark. 

“We always planned for that to be our focal point,” says Carlie Librizzi, marketing director. “The beauty of a boutique hotel is that you can have luxury accommodations and an idyllic setting.” 

One of the best parts about booking your event at Oaks is the perfectly balanced scenery. For waterfront folks, the flowing river presents a perfect backdrop, while those who prefer the serenity of the woods will find repose in surrounding trees. 

“Most places don’t offer both water and woods,” Librizzi points out. “It’s the perfect environment for people who are looking for both. The look, I would say, is nature-inspired elegance.” 

If you’re planning an event, get ready to be “wowed” by the creativity of the Oaks staff, all of whom are dedicated to getting it just right, from food to lighting. 

“We write out their vision and brainstorm, just like planning with friends,” Librizzi says. “Planning can be stressful, so we take things off the guest’s plate and guide the vision. It’s fun to work together as a team and organize it. Luckily, as an independent resort, we can dive into individual visions with a ‘make it happen’ mindset. In the end, it’s their day.”

The best is yet to come, Librizzi says, with all-inclusive wedding packages on the horizon and the resort welcoming all events with Oaks on the River’s iconic touch.  “We have had the pleasure of hosting corporate conferences, anniversary celebrations, milestone birthdays, family reunions, and charity galas,” Librizzi beams. “Each event brings a unique essence and energy to our resort, and we take pride in being a part of such special moments in our guests' lives.”

“Oaks on the River Resort is not just a venue; it is an experience that is tailor-made to create cherished memories,” she concludes. “Our team goes above and beyond to ensure every guest feels pampered and well-cared for throughout their stay. We take pride in our personalized approach, attention to detail and commitment to excellence — which sets us apart as a truly luxurious boutique resort.”
