We had our rehearsal dinner and our post-wedding brunch at Oak & Reed, and both were amazing! All of the food was delicious, from the passed canapes, to the dinner, to the brunch b...
uffet. Their cocktails were also very good. I worked with Laura and Isabella to sort out all the details, and they were wonderful throughout the planning process. I was so appreciative of how seriously they took my allergies to ensure I wouldn't have anything to worry about on my wedding weekend. They made our events special down to the little details, like asking me about my wedding colors so they could personalize the menus to match. All the staff for both events were friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. We are so glad we chose Oak & Reed for our rehearsal dinner and wedding brunch. We would highly recommend them for any special event and we will definitely be visiting again whenever we are in the area!

We hosted a small (35 people) wedding reception at Oak & Reed on Sept. 29, 2023. O&R was one of my favorite vendors to work with! They did an outstanding job-- the food was amazing...
, service was wonderful, and it made for a beautiful, seamless event. I could not be happier with our decision to have our reception there. Isabella and Laura were wonderful at presenting us with our options and communicating through the entire process. The staff went above and beyond by helping with set up and clean up after the event. I had some very specific requests and Isabella did absolutely everything to accommodate them. They were extremely reasonably priced for the quality of food and service that we received. All our guests are still raving about that night.
