Highland Oaks

Set among the trees and open grounds of Sturgis, Mississippi, Highland Oaks offers a collection of spaces for weddings, celebrations and company events. Organisers can hire individual areas or book the wider property, which includes a heated and air-conditioned Stables venue, a restored 19th-century barn, outdoor decks, oak groves and a lakeside setting. The grounds cover 125 acres and include a stocked lake with a beach area, giving couples and planners a range of backdrops for ceremonies, photographs and gatherings.

The Stables can accommodate seated events, theatre-style layouts or standing receptions, with capacity varying by arrangement. For wedding bookings, packages provide access to several venue spaces and are designed for different group sizes, from smaller gatherings to celebrations of up to 150 guests. Depending on the package, inclusions can include tables, chairs, linens, an in-house Bluetooth sound system, parking attendants, venue assistants, set-up support and time for a rehearsal or pre-event photographs. Additional hours and wedding coordination can be arranged for a fee.

Other occasions welcomed at the property include rehearsal dinners, family reunions, showers, anniversaries, birthdays, graduations, holiday parties and corporate gatherings. The Olde Barn offers a distinctive setting for smaller events, while the outdoor stage and open-air areas suit entertainment and larger gatherings. A three-bedroom bunkhouse provides on-site accommodation and a dedicated getting-ready area for wedding parties. Highland Oaks is a bookable venue, with organisers able to enquire about event dates, spaces and requirements directly with the team.
