Oak & Reed
Rehearsal Dinner | Bridal Shower | Next Day Brunch
We hosted our rehearsal dinner (~50 people) at Oak & Reed and had a wonderful experience! The family style menu has many of the most well-reviewed dishes. The Korean fried broccoli and homemade cornbread appetizers in particular stood out for being delicious and unique. We also thoroughly enjoyed the crisps on top of the little gem caesar, the whipped potatoes, and bread basket. Multiple guests mentioned how the lemonade was tart in a good way (as in fresh) and complimented the fusilli beef bolognese. There was plenty of food so everyone had the opportunity to try each dish. The staff were very friendly and considerate as they waited until our speeches were finished to serve the entrees. The team was very attentive to our guests with food allergies and dietary restrictions, ensuring they knew which dishes were safe and providing alternatives when necessary. Laura was extremely responsive and provided a table layout that was very helpful for planning. In addition, she made custom menus to match our wedding aesthetic. We really appreciated her offer to provide bud vases, table numbers, and an easel for our seating chart as it was convenient and looked very nice. Oak & Reed exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend them!
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 buffet. 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!
