We had the most amazing wedding at Oak View. Katie was super flexible and communicative throughout the planning process and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we ...
needed. She provided helpful insight on vendors and was prepared for anything! The venue is stunning and dozens of guests stopped us to say it’s the most beautiful wedding venue they’ve ever seen.
The outdoor ceremony site is breathtaking and you walk down the aisle under a willow tree. There are options for indoor or outdoor dances as well!
10/10 would recommend booking your wedding here!!!

I could not recommend this venue enough! Absolutely beautiful, unique venue that had every aspect we could have asked for! We received so many compliments from our guests about the...
set up of the venue, the offerings of different seating areas, and how the entire reception area (patio outside) felt inclusive of those dancing, sitting, or standing as there was space for everyone. Every aspect of our wedding was gorgeous.
Katie and Dan were amazing throughout the year we were planning our wedding! They were responsive, helpful, answered all of my questions, and never made me feel like a burden for asking (cause sometimes there were a lot!)! Their contract was detailed which often answered questions I had, therefore eliminating the need to even reach out! The day of the wedding they were onsite and accessible if we had any questions.
I truly can’t recommend this venue enough. It was absolutely beautiful and will give you such a unique wedding experience that differs from anywhere you’ve been. So so gorgeous and we are so grateful we found them!

and made sure everything ran smoothly and was on top of it whenever I asked questions. If you want a space that feels like home I recommend Oak View Wedding and Events. Thank you Katie and God Bless!

We recently got married at Oak View and it was the perfect venue!! From the ceremony site, to the dance floor, to the landscaping - every detail of the venue has been so carefully ...
thought out to make for the perfect wedding back drop. Our guests loved the on-site playground, large yard games, and various fire pits scattered around the property. My one wish was for no one to be at their dinner table following the meal, and I got exactly that - all of our guests were scattered around at any of the numerous patio seating groupings, at one of the fire pits, or enjoying the outdoor dance floor. With the dance floor being outside, you can hear the music from anywhere so it felt like everyone was still involved in the party even if they weren't on the dance floor. Katie and Dan were amazing to work with and they continually are improving the space. There were several upgrades even since we booked the venue last year. Oak View is the perfect place to have a fairy tale wedding!

were there to help! We still have people telling us how we had the most beautiful wedding they’ve ever been to. We hardly had to decorate because the venue is just that incredible!! The venue is unlike and any other and we can’t recommend them enough. If you are considering Oak View we encourage you to schedule a tour with Katie, you won’t be disappointed. We can’t recommend them enough!

tract so we knew everything the day we signed. Their venue is beautiful which makes for great photos and less decorating on your part! They are great about updating it to continue making it better and better. I would highly recommend this venue.
