Addison Oaks - Buhl Estate

Addison Oaks truly provided excellent service and was the most beautiful venue for our September wedding! While I was a bit nervous my outdoor ceremony would have to be moved indoors due to rain, the team at Addison Oaks ensured each seat was perfectly dried and ready to go for the ceremony as soon as the rain stopped, just an hour and a half prior to the start of the ceremony. Also, the food was to die for - all the guests raved about the food, as well as the incredible dessert display! Daniel was always extremely responsive and helpful the entire time leading up to the wedding (even when I would send him questions far in advance of the wedding day) and he and Lois were both so helpful and knowledgeable on the day of, ensuring everything went smoothly, and helping to make sure that everything was set up just as I had envisioned.

We had our wedding here in July and it was the perfect day! I could not have asked for anything to go better. Dan was so friendly and responsive to work with, and was very accommodating to us. I spent all day at the venue the day of, and the staff were so helpful but not intrusive. There is a a lot of space upstairs to get ready in and keep stuff in, and staff continually checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Lois was very efficient at organizing everyone for the ceremony. We ended up running ahead of schedule, and Dan and Lois were so great in moving dinner up and keeping everything organized. The venue was beautiful, the staff was amazing, and I am sad it is over! It was really a perfect day.

WOW! Where to start. My husband and I just had our wedding here & let me tell you...absolutely amazing. Perfect. Phenomenal. all the above. We had the absolute perfect wedding here at Addison Oaks. The venue is GORGEOUS. The food tasted AMAZING, Daniel is who helped us book the wedding was AWESOME, so friendly & helpful. All of our guests complimented us on how beautiful our wedding was and how much they loved it. Best day of our lives, if I could rate them a million stars I would.

I wish I could write a better review. I was so hopeful that this venue would have delivered. Everything was great until the actual day of the wedding. They promised Christmas tree placement up until the day before and then told me that they didn't have them. They forgot a full course of food at the wedding. The salad was missing ingredients. I had menus out on the tables and everyone was wondering why there was food missing. It was horrible and they offered nothing to fix their major mistakes. This is even after I gave them a deal on leaving decorations for them that my father spent hours putting up, with no help at all, that they decided they wanted to keep. I did not let it take away from my otherwise perfect wedding day but I wish I would have gone somewhere else. There is so much work and effort that went into the day and to have all of these issues on the day of was really heartbreaking. I am not one to write negative reviews but couples put in so much work and money into weddings and if I can save someone from the disappointment I had, then I hope I do.

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Buhl Estate this past September and it was everything we could have imagined plus more! Daniel was extremely helpful and very responsive throughout the whole planning process. Always quick to answer my many questions and provide honest opinions when needed. Even handling my last minute requests with no issues! On the day of our wedding, Daniel and Lois were both there to help coordinate and keep things moving on time. They were also really great about keeping things light and helping us calm the nerves, especially Daniel with his jokes! It ended up raining the morning of our wedding and we saw Daniel outside with a blower drying off all of the ceremony chairs! They really go above and beyond for you! There are really nice dressing rooms that made for a perfect place to get ready in and made for very pretty getting ready/detail photos. The ceremony space was in the beautiful courtyard outside. The grand ballroom was absolutely gorgeous, you really need minimal décor in this space with how beautiful the room is! Our guests are still telling us how much they loved the venue and how beautiful everything was. Aside from Buhl Estate being absolutely gorgeous, the food and drinks were amazing! Everything ran so smoothly the entire night and it was a huge thanks to Daniel, Lois and the rest of the team! Thanks to them we were able to have our dream wedding!

Writing a review is sometimes difficult, but not this one. The staff, specifically Daniel and Lois, went above and beyond for us. Daniel was the best. He made everything super easy, answered any questions in such a timely manor, he was honest and didn’t try to oversell us on anything. The food, to die for. Our guests have all told us how great dinner and the sweet table was, and we agree. All of the appetizers were great too. We do not have a single complaint at all. Again, every staff member was a pleasure. The venue itself is so beautiful. Decorations are basically optional because the venue is so unique and beautiful. A venue and their staff can make or break an event- I can assure you, you will have no issues with this team. Our day was absolutely perfect and we owe many thank you’s to Daniel and his phenomenal team and venue.

I want to thank Daniel Shaw, Lois and the entire staff at the Addison Oaks Buhl estate for the most wonderful wedding experience for my daughter and husband that they could have ever dreamed of. Planning the details for a wedding can be very stressful and Daniel is a seasoned expert who guided us every step of the way. He is an excellent communicator and I enjoyed working with him on all of the planning details. He never made me feel like I was asking too many questions. He was calm, funny and had great insight and made the whole process very pleasant. Lois, was our day of coordinator and she attended to every detail all day long and made the whole wedding run perfectly. The beautifully preserved estate is very elegant and has unique historical charm. It was so special to have our event in this beautiful place. The selection and quality of the food was the very best! The buffet is unlike any other buffet at the high end venues in the area. It is a piece of art in itself. Thank you again to Daniel Shaw, Lois and the staff!

We had a Disney themed wedding and this venue checked all our happily ever after. Staff went above and beyond in all areas. Food was to die for.

This was a great wedding venue. It was beautiful, the food was delicious. The space was great for getting ready and spending the entire day. Loved it. The only thing was the service from the event manager. We started working someone awesome but she kind of disappeared. We were handed off to Dan and he was really not great to deal with. He went back on his word a few times with what would be available to us. We felt pretty ripped off with some of the extra room reservations we were pressured to pay for (or else someone could book an event right in the same space at the same time or morning of). Just generally not a great communicator and we did not feel particularly cared for throughout the entire process, even after postponing. Didn't ruin the day but there were plenty of moments where I wished we had been working with someone else.

I just had my wedding there yesterday. It was incredible. The staff was amazing. They were friendly and helpful. The food was incredible not the normal crappy wedding food. The dessert table was to die for! They were incredibly diligent and worked hard to make our special day happen all while adhering to the social distancing guidelines.

There are not enough words to describe how amazing this venue is. The staff worked so incredibly hard to make sure all of my dreams came true. Food was INCREDIBLE. So many compliments on the service, space, food and more.

Wish I could give this venue more than 5 stars! They were absolutely incredible to work with, always available for questions, and staff truly went above and beyond with everything. The service was impeccable and we received hundreds of compliments on the food and staff! The venue is beautiful and gives many different spaces for your guests to enjoy! We had the best wedding ever thanks to Addison Oaks!!

The location can’t be beat. It’s amazingly pretty and serene for a wedding. All the people we worked with (Mike, Laurie, Dan) were great and very friendly. They answered all the questions we had throughout the planning process. They didn’t seem to have good organization with regards to handouts they had previously given us (such as an ad hoc brunch package they gave us in January and didn’t have a copy of when we went in to give our final count). Also, the person who was with us day of, was not very friendly. She was good at organizing everyone for the ceremony, and was good at her job but could have been nicer to both us and our guests. Outside of those two issues, we really enjoyed Addison oaks, and got a lot of positive feedback from our guests about the venue

Choosing Addison Oaks as our wedding venue was hands down our dream venue. Their expertise and attention to detail made the process very smooth and stress-free leading up to the day. Lori and Dan were excellent in answering our questions quickly and professionally - they know what they are doing! Day of the staff was available and helpful in whatever we needed. We held the ceremony in the Garden and reception in the Grand Ball Room. There were numerous areas to take pictures both inside the venue and outside. We are still receiving compliments on how amazing the food and venue was from our guests. Thank you Addison Oaks for helping make our wedding day the best day ever!

We were so happy with how everything turned out for our Wedding day! We met with Addison Oaks a few times and phone called/emailed often regarding logistics. Everything came together for our event without any issues. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. We had a wedding that was strictly vegetarian and the chef made sure that all of the menu items were tweaked to fit our needs. We can't stop thinking about how incredible the food was (and our guests can't stop talking about it)! Highly recommend using Addison Oaks!

Addison Oaks Buhl estate is absolutely magical. We fell in love the moment we saw it and never once looked back. They provided so much help and guidance through the entire planning process. Our wedding was last weekend and it was beyond perfect. As everyone has said, the grounds are stunning and the ballroom is gorgeous with windows that wrap around and go all the way up to the high ceiling that overlooks a lake and beautiful greenery to the amazing chandeliers, oh those chandeliers. It’s old world atmosphere that’s part sophisticated and part fantasy and so very elegant is really something out of a movie. And the FOOD, OMG! well you can’t get a better meal anywhere. It’s served by staff in formal attire and they all come out at once as if they are choreographed. Get the dessert table, it’s massive, very impressive and delicious. Many of our guests said it was the most beautiful wedding they’ve ever been to and we had a lot of guests that are hard to impress, they were floored. Lauri, Lois and Dan are on top of everything, they will make sure no stone is left unturned, I cannot thank them enough. Every vendor we talked to, whether we hired them or not, loves working at Buhl estate and with the staff. I’m still basking in what was the wedding of our dreams!

I cannot recommend Addison Oaks enough to anyone interested in having their wedding there. Lauri was phenomenal and attentive the entire planning process. Any questions I had leading up to the day were answered quickly through email, and Dan was wonderful to work with the day-of. The two make a perfect team to help ensure your wedding day will go off without a problem. We are coming up on three months married and we still get rave reviews and comments from our guests on the food and dessert table. Just the entire ambiance was exactly what we were looking for for our January wedding in Michigan. Addison Oaks is the perfect package when it comes to food, venue, and service. You get what you pay for, which is an amazing experience that you will never forget. Why would you want anything less for such a special day in your life?

Loved the venue! Staff at Addison Oaks were incredible. Daniel was exceptional is meeting our desires to have a menu that was so customized yet budget friendly to reflect a blended Indian/American menu.

I kid you not, everyone is still RAVING about our wedding, due to the amazing food, and the beautiful venue. Lauri and Dan will forever hold a special place in my heart for putting up with my bridezilla requests. They go above and beyond for every bride and have they BEST customer service. Everything was so perfect and went smoothly. They are there every second of the night if you need anything at all. If you want it, they will make it happen. We took our photos on the ground which was so convenient and so gorgeous. It was a pleasure working with everyone at Addison Oaks. Thank you times a million

Had our son’s wedding there last night. Excellent venue. The service was impeccable and the food was spectacular. Had a plated meal of beef and crusted chicken with mashed potatoes. Beef cooked perfectly and tender. The chicken was moist. Had an outdoor ceremony which was beautiful. The garden area was beautiful this time of year with all the flowers in full bloom. Lots of space. We had 200 guest for the ceremony and 220 for the reception. The staff was very attentive and always available for anything we needed. Daniel was one of the managers there and was great to work with. He was frequently asking if we needed anything and even went around to the tables during dinner and asked the guests how everything was. Many guests commented on the quality and quantity of the food. All around perfect.

We held our wedding at Addison Oaks Buhl Estate on August 3rd. Everything about this venue is wonderful. The grounds are so pretty and really well maintained. The ceremony site looks like something out of a fairy tale. You really feel like you are in your own private world. There are millions of places, both indoor and outdoor, to take pictures! Addison Oaks doesn’t have that typical “banquet hall” feel to it at all. It is comfortable and welcoming. Dan and Lauri do an AMAZING job of covering every detail. I didn’t have to worry about a thing on my wedding day. They took care of everything and at the same time weren’t “hovering” or overbearing so it still felt like “my” wedding. Everybody at the wedding was super impressed by the venue! We had so many compliments about just how perfect everything was. There is even a bridal suite upstairs that my bridesmaids and I spent the day getting ready in. The biggest compliment we received from literally every guest that I talked to was how amazing the food was. People were raving about it for days to come! I have to agree as well. Everything was delicious and there was something for every palette. I would definitely recommend Addison Oaks to anyone looking for a place to host an event. They really helped make our day absolutely perfect!

Addison Oaks was the perfect spot for my wedding! The garden ceremony was so intimate and beautiful. The staff helped prepare each detail of the day and was incredible the day of. The food was incredible and we had so many people complimenting it. Staff was professional, friendly, easy to work with, and thought of everything I might have missed. I would recommend this venue to anyone!

Can't recommend Addison Oaks enough. Most of our guests said it was their favorite part of the day. We (the bridal party and family) did the 2.5 mile loop around the park before the wedding then started getting ready there at 9am, it was the most perfect start to the day. Many of our guests even camped there. Their professionalism was 10/10! I wouldn't question recommending them to a friend for their big day! Here's our video if you want to see the venue... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7PhOWCXwpg

I got married here in December 2017. It was the perfect winter wonderland wedding! If you are planning on getting married in holiday season - look no further. They had all of their Christmas trees, wreaths, and lights up! I didn't have to bring in one decoration! It was truly perfect! My husband, who is a man of few words, was even impressed! Addison Oaks was the best choice I could have ever made! They were able to accommodate my every need! I wanted to do a continental breakfast for my bridal party while we got ready and it was the best breakfast ever! I was so impressed and exceeded my expectations. Our passed apps at cocktail hour and dinner was exceptional. The best wedding dinner I have honestly ever had. Dan was a class act and was so helpful! He kept me a ease during the entire planning process. He was on it! Do not hesitate to book your wedding here! My day was absolutely perfect!

My now husband and I chose Addison Oaks for our wedding venue for a couple of reasons. 1. We were not interested in having our wedding at your typical reception hall that is a large room with no windows- so we of course loved the vaulted ceilings, floor to ceiling windows, wrap around deck and of course all of the original characteristics that the estate has such as fireplaces, exposed wood and brick and stone. 2. We loved the option to have our wedding ceremony in the beautiful garden with the wooden trellis above us during the ceremony. We were fortunate that it didn’t rain on us, but our trade off was that it was 90 degrees and sunny. Thankfully, right after our ceremony, our guests and my husband and I were able to cool off inside Addison Oaks. 3. We chose Addison Oaks because of the rave reviews about the buffet. Although we had not tried the food before finally deciding on this venue, we were not disappointed by the food. We chose the buffet option for our food and it was such a good decision, the food was absolutely mouth-watering and our guests could not stop raving about how good the food was! Now onto the things we were happily surprised by with our decision to host our wedding at Addison Oaks. 1. Dan and Lauri were absolutely amazing to work with, always prompt on returning emails or answering questions on the spot over the phone. They were flexible with making appointments with us and overall made the wedding planning process easier and smoother. 2. We worked with Lois at our rehearsal as well as for our wedding day. We were pleasantly surprised to have Lois who essentially acted as our day of coordinator telling the bridal party where to be and when, making sure we stayed on schedule with our wedding timeline. Whenever I needed something Lois was nearby and ready to answer my question or get me what or who I needed. We also worked with Sam who was with us during the morning and early afternoon on our wedding day. Sam met with my mom and I on the morning of the wedding to go over where all of the decorations we had brought would be placed, which was so great that we could just tell him where things should go and he executed what we asked. When the staff was getting the room ready, my mom didn’t care for the way the napkins were being folded and placed and Sam immediately had the set up changed! 3. The ladies of the bridal party spent the morning getting ready in the bridal suite upstairs, which was the perfect space for getting ready, with plenty of natural light and I loved being able to look out over the garden and front entrance to watch what was going on. While we were getting ready, we had some light food and Addison Oaks provided fruit, veggies, crackers and cheese, as well as water, which was a pleasant surprise! Overall, my now husband and I would highly recommend Addison Oaks to host your wedding, the service was excellent and we truly had the best day of our lives, mostly thanks to Addison Oaks!

I simply loved this wedding venue!!! Addison Oaks handled every detail and made sure my day was perfect!! Their bridal suites were fabulous to get ready on site. We had to move my ceremony inside at the last minute which was not what I wanted, however they made things seamless. Organized and super accommodating throughout the entire planning process. The food was excellent and the portions were huge! Our guests have been raving about this venue!!

Wow! So many great things we'd like to share about this venue. We fell in love with it immediately. It was the most beautiful setting for our fall wedding. The staff was so friendly, patient, and accommodating. They even let us change the location of the ceremony the day of. Our guests could not stop raving about the food! They all said it was the best wedding food they have ever had!! Their bride and groom suites were beautiful, spacious, and comfortable. The staff treated our wedding as if it were the only one they were hosting. Our day would not have been so perfect had we chosen a different venue. Thank you!!

Addison Oaks was absolutely amazing! The staff there made myself and my guests feel so welcomed. Even through the whole planning process, they were very helpful and answered all my questions. On my actually wedding day, they made sure everything flowed and made sure that guests knew where to go. We absolutely loved this venue and the management behind it! Thank you Lauri and Dan for your help and making our day so special!

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect place. Management was great to work with and made sure my mind was at ease in the days prior to the big day where things get a little hectic. The food was AMAZING and all our guests continue to rave about it. The bar gave speedy service and I was so happy they stayed open during dinner. I had not one worry the entire day. They ensured that everything was taken care of. All I did was sit back and watch it all fall into place.

I could not have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding day! First of all, the food was absolutely amazing. Every single person made a comment about how delicious it was and how full they were. Second, the staff is just incredible. So helpful and wanted to make sure the day ran smoothly and flawlessly. We had a different things coming out at different times and they were definitely on top of it. And last but not least, the grounds are just beautiful and help make for the most perfect pictures! I highly recommend Addison Oaks for your venue!

There are not enough words to explain how wonderful Addison Oaks was as a Ceremony and Reception Wedding venue! From the moment I spoke with Dan at Addison Oaks-Buhl Estate I knew we were going to be taken care of during our big day. My groom and I live out of state and relied on our family for scoping out the location and after offering their thumbs up, we decided sight unseen, that Addison Oaks would be 'the place' for our entire event. When we arrived for rehearsal we were blown away in seeing the Estate for the first time. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and the Estate is rich in an unmistakable charm. The staff catered to our every need and went above and beyond for us, quickly changing our outdoor ceremony to an indoor one, when the weather took a different direction than we had originally planned! Our guests gave rave reviews and loved all of the delicious options available in the buffet, and the chef was extremely accommodating with my dietary restrictions. Overall we were utterly impressed with how flawlessly the day went and we are incredibly thankful we chose such an amazing all in one venue as the starting place of our forever together!

The Manager Dan went above and beyond to make this day everything we dreamed of. As it was down pouring just minutes before I was supposed to walk down the aisle, Dan assured me in a calm voice, that everything was going to be ok. Shortly after, the rain stopped and he and his co-workers wiped off every single chair to make our outdoor ceremony possible! In addition, the food was delicious, the room was perfect and the staff were awesome!

I am so happy with my choice to have my reception at Addison Oaks Buhl Estate on 7/16/16. Everything was absolutely perfect! The space has been recently updated and is just beautiful! The outdoorsy-vintage feel was exactly what I was looking for, and it was mixed with beautiful chandeliers and elegance. Dan and Lauri were super responsive and helpful throughout the whole planning process. Dan was there on the day of my wedding and greeted me upon arrival. Everything was set up just as we had planned! They were there the whole evening, and helped out whenever needed. I didn't even need to hire a day-of coordinator. One thing I must insist on is the buffet. Now, I have always been a fan of plated because of it's elegance, but I had heard the buffet was one of a kind. People RAVED about it! Between the 20 salads and several meat options, people's plates were overflowing, and it was ALL delicious! So many people told me it was the best wedding food they've ever had! The outdoor decks were also a fan favorite, people really enjoyed having a peaceful place to go to take a break from the party. The bar service was also excellent. We had 225 people and were nervous about only 3 bartenders, but they were fast and friendly...never a line! If I had to do it all over again I would 100% choose Addison Oaks.

Perfect venue for an outdoorsy couple. Lauri was fantastic in answering numerous amounts of emails I sent with questions. All our guests raved about how awesome their food was for a buffet and couldn't believe how big their salad bar was. Wish I could give them more than a 5 star review!

My husband and I didn't have to worry about a thing. Our coordinator, Dan, could not have been more accommodating. Everything was absolutely perfect and beautiful!

We held our December 2015 holiday wedding at Addison Oaks - Buhl Estate and it was an overall wonderful experience! The venue is so unique and exudes warmth and personality. It would be beautiful for a spring/summer, fall OR winter wedding for different reasons. The grounds are beautiful, being in a state park--so an outdoor wedding would be lovely here. In our case, we had a winter wedding, which kept us indoors--and the many fireplaces throughout the facility and the lovely holiday decorations created just the right atmosphere for our holiday wedding. The food is THE BEST wedding food we have ever experienced; our guests all said the same thing! And, the dining room service was impeccable. The only things that kept this a four star review versus a five start review were: 1) We never received our wedding cake serving set back after our cake cutting and were upset about this as clearly they were misplaced by either the hall staff or by another vendor (it was a designer gift set from our shower) and 2) some of the minor details on our wedding day were not as perfect as we would've liked (some burned out twinkle lights on fireplace mantles; and one fireplace wasn't lit for our family photos). To make a "perfect" experience, these little details would've been handled. However, given all of the other more visible and important items to us and our guests, everything else at Addison Oaks was wonderful. I would definitely recommend it to any and all brides seeking a lovely and unique wedding location!

If you are looking for a unique location with amazing service and food this is the place. It's rustic and elegant in one place.

Addison Oaks was the perfect venue for us, especially since we planned our wedding from out of town. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and have so many locations for pictures. The packages made pricing simple, and we negotiated some of the items to make it even more reasonable. Lauri was our main contact person but we met with Dan for our tasting -- he let us purchase a keg of Oberon through them to add on to the basic beer and wine package. We had a plated lunch reception with chicken and filet, and even our pickiest guests commented on how delicious the food was. The dessert buffet was also spectacular! Lois was our day-of-coordinator and although she did a great job on the big day, it would have been nice to be dealing with her (instead of Lauri) leading up to our wedding, or at least for her to be filled in on the details before our rehearsal. Instead of a formal rehearsal, we did a basic walk through with Lois the Thursday before the wedding, explaining everything we wanted, running through the ceremony, and dropping off all of our paper goods and things we wanted set up. It was great that they set everything out (place cards, menus, programs, etc.) but it was also good that we had a few friends following up on the little details and making sure that our other vendors showed up on time and did what they were supposed to do! The bridal suites upstairs are absolutely gorgeous (recently renovated) and equipped with separate restrooms areas for each half of the bridal party. I wish that we had more time on the wedding time to enjoy those rooms, and the mimosas and appetizer platters that Addison Oaks provided to us! We used Addison Oaks's linens (upgrading the napkins) and used their basic grey/silver chairs, and everything looked great. I would recommend using your own table numbers because theirs were a bit dirty. All in all, this was a great venue that made wedding planning very easy! And we're sad that we don't get to hang out there anymore!

Addison Oaks is the perfect place to get married! We were just recently married here this month. The venue is designed to hold both a ceremony and reception, and it worked out so nicely for us to do just that! We held our ceremony in the outdoor garden/courtyard, which is just beyond gorgeous. There was no need for ceremony decor because the beautiful flowers within the garden decorated the area on their own. Then, we held our reception inside the newly renovated ballroom, which we absolutely loved! It was such a wonderful fit for the size of our wedding, and we couldn't have been happier with how the evening went. The staff was wonderful, the food was AMAZING (we received so many compliments), the bar service was spot on (they did a great job with presentation of our signature drink, and the whole evening ran very smoothly. Leading up to our big day, Lauri was such a huge help too! She was very responsive any time we had a question, and willing to work with us on special requests to help make our vision for our wedding come to life. I highly recommend Addison Oaks! Thank you! - Christie Nichols (now Heike)

I absolutely loved having my wedding at Addison Oaks! Not only for its history, but its natural beauty! Overall the staff was friendly and professional. The food is outstanding; all of our guests just raved about the food! The ceremony spot is beautiful and it was comforting to know that the indoor option was just as pretty in case of rain! We appreciated that during the reception we had staff ask us what we would like to drink and they assisted us at the buffet. Our wedding was so beautiful and I'm thrilled with the outcome. Would recommend to those looking for a historic/beautiful spot!

I cannot say enough about how wonderful Addison Oaks - Buhl Estate was for our January 2015 wedding! Every interaction we had at Addison Oaks was so helpful and exceeded all of our expectations. Our contact Lori was extremely responsive, answered all of our questions with ease, and went above and beyond for us on several occasions. I had always wanted my wedding at Addison Oaks but went to a wedding the summer of 2013 and noticed the interior was a bit dated. Shortly after we were engaged and looking at locations, we checked out Addison Oaks and were pleasantly surprised to find that they were planning a complete renovation. Everything they’ve done looks AMAZING and was perfect for our winter wedding. The hall is just beautiful in any season and the new décor brings out the natural beauty of the building. We decided to forgo chair covers because their new gray chairs matched our colors so well and were in great shape. In planning our dinner, we went with a plated meal (a duet plate with chicken and filet). We were so happy that we decided on that option - as nearly every single guest commented on how great the food was! Everyone there was super attentive and made our day so easy and fun. If I could get Addison Oaks more than 5 stars I would - everything was perfect on our wedding day!

Addison oaks was perfect! The staff was wonderful and helped make sure everything went smoothly for us. The outdoor area is perfect for a fall wedding. The food was outstanding, the staff was professional. Perfect place!

My fiance and I really wanted to get married up north. But after looking at prices on places we decided that was no going to work. When we found Addison Oaks we knew it was perfect. It was only about 30 minutes away and had the "up north" look. Our photographer stated that if someone gave him a million dollars to build the perfect place to take pictures, it would look just like Addison Oaks. Aside from the gorgeous scenery, the food is just excellent. I had a buffet there for my shower and the plated dinner at my reception and each time the guests raved about the food. The management is TOP NOTCH. They are on top of everything to the last detail. As a bride you will never have to worry if something is going to be overlooked. Their managers are just as good as wedding planners. My fiance and I could not be more happy with our choice to have our wedding there. Our guests also commented on what a beautful place it was.

The staff at Addison Oaks Buhl Estate was so wonderful. They were available to answer all my questions and worked with me to make sure that everything was perfect on my wedding day. I made all of my centerpieces and some additional decorations so it was wonderful to be able to go in and set everything up ahead of time since there wasn't an event the friday before. With that being said, I made a couple of trips to the hall, each time they were so welcoming and eager to help me with whatever I needed. Even to the point that they helped us set up and take down some of the decorations. The food there is amazing! Although, on my wedding day I didn't get to finish my meal I have eaten there before and it is a great meal, my guests were talking about for days following. All in all a great venue with beautiful landscape for pictures. I could go on and on about this place it was absolutely perfect!! All in all it was an amazing

Addison oaks was everything I had hoped for and more. They were amazing to work with for the year leading up to my wedding, worked well with our other vendors, and responded to my numerous detailed emails quickly. They were friendly and polite, helped on the day of our wedding with locating my mom when she forgot her phone and I couldn't get in touch with her. Overall the service could not have been better, but the food! OMG! I'm not sure I have ever had a better meal at any restaurant-even the really expensive ones. All of the food was incredible, appetizers were hot and really great, as well as the dinner. We got the dessert bar and it was definitely worth it. It was awesome, everyone loved it and we got the rest of the dessert to take home...we have since eaten all the left overs. I could not have been happier with my overall experience with Addison oaks, and I am pretty hard to please:)

Loved Addison Oaks and would recommend it to anyone. Lauri helped coordinate our wedding and answered every question, silly or not, along the way. Dan was amazing on our wedding day. Calm, funny, knowledgable and on top of everything. They didn't really offer up a food tasting; they said their food's reputation proceeded itself. But it was AMAZING! People came up to us during and in the weeks after to rave about it. We had 215 guests, it was comfortable and not crowded. Did the buffet and would recommend that as well!

I would HIGHLY recommend Addison Oaks as a place to hold a wedding. The old mansion in a county park is a beautiful venue. My daughter had the ceremony in the beautiful garden, with the reception in the mansion. Everything that Addison Oaks did was outstanding. They were always very friendly, responsive and flexible at every point of the wedding planning. I loved that we were able to bring in our own alcohol (which saved us tons of money). We also brought in our our table chargers and chair covers. They also let us bring in our own non-alcoholic drinks for the guests prior to the ceremony. I really felt that they weren't trying to get every last nickel out of us, and helped us to cut down on costs in every way they could. They let us bring all the "stuff" to the site the day of the rehearsal, which saved us a lot of stress the day of the wedding. Fortunately, the venue did not have an event earlier in the day, so we were able to arrive about 2:30, get dressed, take pictures, set up, and relax before all the guests started arriving. They had snacks and drinks in the dressing rooms, and brought out ice water to us when we were taking pictures in the hot sun. As soon as the ceremony was over, the staff was outside offering the bridal party with appetizers and drinks.The guests were ushered into the reception site and greeted with drinks on trays, and appetizers. I can't say enough about how great the service was-the anticipated every need, and ran a smooth, professional event. As the mother-of-the-bride, I didn't have to do anything the entire night. We didn't have any type of paid wedding planner, and i definitely didn't need one. And they had everything packed up and ready for us when it was time to leave. The garden is beautiful, and doesn't need much decorating. The hall is elegant, and again doesn't need much decorating. We opted for the buffet, because of the variety of food. Many people told me that the food was the best they had ever had at a wedding. We also had pizza as the late night snack-which the guests loved. They prepared a special meal for a guest that had specific dietary restrictions. There is not one thing that went wrong at the wedding, and I credit that to Lauri, Daniel and the rest of the staff at Addison Oaks. If you are planning a wedding, this is the place to go.

If you're looking for a place for your wedding and or reception, this is the place! The staff at Addison Oaks are top notch. You will not be disappointed. The building is an old mansion that has been made into a banquet facility. You walk in the main doors and immediately you feel like you're home. The reception room has windows on three sides that looks out onto a lake and beautiful rolling hills. It's a great venue anytime of the year.

Addison Oaks was there to help us every step of the way. Any time I had a question, I called them and they were more than happy to assist me. They are very professional and provide wonderful service. The food was very good and my guests are still talking about how tasty it was. I highly recommend this venue for ceremony and reception. It rained on my wedding day and I was supposed to get married outside. They converted the dining hall into the ceremony location seamlessly. Everyone thought it was meant to be that way! I can't say enough good things about Addison Oaks. The only thing is they were a bit pricey. I wouldn't go with any of their extras, like candy buffet etc. We did our own for much cheaper and got to personalize it. They will still set things up for you even if you go to an outside source which is a huge plus. Also, they don't provide liquor, so you end up paying way less buying your own. I had the best day of my life there and recommend giving it a look!

I stood up in a wedding at Addison Oaks and recommend it to everyone! First, I have to say that I have never had better wedding food in my life! But once the wedding party arrived to start taking photos before the wedding, the staff was waiting on us hand and foot. They had a fruit, cheese, and cracker platter waiting for us and brought us stuff to drink from the bar if we wished. The staff was very friendly and we had a great time!

I absolutely had the best experience working with Addison Oaks. I had so many creative ideas I wanted to implement in my decor and Addison was very accommodating in letting me include all of them. I had a perfect day because of them!

They bent over backwards to make my wedding day amazing! I recommend them highly to anyone and everyone! Also, the food is exceptional!!

Addison Oaks was absolutely gorgeous! The Garden room was perfect for our small wedding reception, and the outdoor ceremony facility is so beautiful, exactly what I had hoped for. Staff was great, very helpful and friendly, food was delicious as well!!

This place was amazing!!!!! The staff was great and when you need something it is done right away. The food was awesome.

My little cousin told me about a wedding she went to at Addison Oaks. She knows that I am food snob to put it mildly. My biggest concern for the wedding was food. I wanted the venue to be beautiful, not cheesey, and the food to be good, unlike the majority of American weddings. Our wedding was Russian/Jewish/American and this crowd expected great things when it came to food and drink. That being said the food was great. The biggest benefit of having our wedding at Addison Oaks was that we were allowed to supply our own alcohol. Which was a huge savings! The staff was great. They made going through the stressful process of planning a wedding seem smooth. Then again they have done this thousands of times. Any question we had they answered promptly. The management was spot on the day of our rehearsal and our wedding day. Lois was there the day of the rehearsal and helped us more than she knew, because our wedding coordinator was greatly lacking. Lois stepped in right away! The day of our wedding Sam, another manager, was wonderful. He would check on us and be sure that we were ready for dinner, or the cake to be cut, etc. He was so helpful, professional, and kind. Anything we asked for it was not problem and he was right there! All of our guests had a wonderful time. The highlight of our night was that Sam came to us with a large bag at the end of night. He packed up two dinners and two pieces of cake of my groom and I. He figured that we likely did not get enough time to enough our meal that night and he was right. Then again, what else can you expect but greatness from a place of such experience/caliber. Thank you Addison Oaks!
