Our wedding at Oakwood Country Club was everything we hoped for and more. The venue itself was stunning, beautifully maintained, and made the perfect backdrop for our day. A specia...
l thank you to Katelyn, our venue coordinator, who went above and beyond to make everything smooth and stress-free. She was incredibly accommodating; helping us with food, drinks, lighting requests, and even arranging the putting green and golf carts for our wedding party. We truly had an amazing time, and so much of that was thanks to her.
The only downside was that a few of the bartenders and catering staff came across as a bit rude, but overall, the experience was wonderful and we are so glad we chose Oakwood for our big day.
We LOVED using Oakwood for our wedding venue!! We fell in love with the beautiful space when we came to tour it and it just felt right for our May 2024 wedding. Working with Kately...
n from their staff was great, she was very responsive and accommodating. Pretty much everything we wanted she said yes to and helped us figure out the best way to do it! She worked really well with all of our hired vendors as well. A big plus for Oakwood is catering and drinks are included which made it so easy to work with Katelyn on both aspects. Their food was delicious and all of our guests said it was some of the best "wedding food" they've had - no dry chicken here! Such a beautiful and unique venue for events in the KC area - we highly recommend!
Oakwood Country Club was a beautiful venue for our wedding! The course and fountains are so pretty and make an excellent setting for photos and weddings. We loved that the venue ha...
ndled many other services such as food, cake, equipment rental, and rehearsal dinner. The team was also easy to work with and was able to make changes on the fly as needed. We loved the new bridal and groom suite too. We would highly recommend it to any couple looking for a place to get married.
This venue is beautiful. We did have our fair share of challenges / obstacles because Oakwood is undergoing renovations / improvements, but the staff was very supportive and helpf...
ul in working out the issues (and obviously they should be done with this ongoing construction at some point in the future). They should be getting a bridal suite soon, but currently the amenities for getting ready at the venue were a bit wonky... in case you book before the suite is ready, just be prepared to need a bit extra time to set up / clean up mirrors, makeup, etc. Both Katelyn and Heather were great to work with and answered every question we had! If I was going back in time and planning our wedding all over again, I'd still choose Oakwood.
Oakwood was the venue of my dreams! Katelyn was awesome to work with. She was so organized I really didn’t even need a wedding planner! She thought of EVERYTHING!!! I would recomme...
nd anyone to have their wedding at oakwood. So beautiful and such amazing service and hospitality!
Ryan and I couldn't have asked for a more FANTASTIC venue for our wedding day. We were beyond impressed by the clubs perfessionalisum and quality. Katelyn helped us plan our even...
t into the perfect day. Oakwood CC provided our food, cake, centerpieces, and alcohol. The perfect one stop shop! The venue was goreous without any decor, which saved us a significant amount of money. We recommend this venue to ANYONE!
The Oakwood staff and Katelyn did a wonderful job coordinating our wedding! Their decorations were beautiful and they even let us set up our own personal decorations the day befor...
e, which was a huge help! It had rained the night before and the photographer asked if we could get golf carts to efficiently travel around the course. Katelyn was on it! She promptly brought out golf carts for us. Throughout the entire wedding planning process Katelyn was accommodating, quick to respond to emails and friendly. We absolutely recommend Oakwood!
You honestly cannot find a better venue! First off - the banquet hall and patio are STUNNING. We were able to save on decorations due to the beautiful atmosphere the venue already ...
has. Then to top it off, Katelyn and the staff are absolutely phenomenal. They are extremely accommodating in working with you and making your night exactly how you envision it! The food is amazing and they are happy to accommodate allergies or specific food requests.
If you are tempted at all - take a tour with Katelyn and I promise it will be worth it!
P.S. - Their wedding cake is hands-down the best in the city. It was the talking point for guests the entire evening!
My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception here. We loved it from the first sight! Katelyn was amazing and helped us through the process from start to finish and was t...
here to help the whole wedding day. Everyone that attended talks about how amazing the food and cake were.
I can not say enough glowing things about Oakwood and I will for sure tell everyone that this is the place to get married. It was our for sure dream wedding!
My husband and I had our reception at Oakwood Country Club on September 23, 2017. We rented the main hall and foyer with access to the outdoor balcony. The hall is gorgeous with hi...
gh ceilings and exposed wooden beams. Our fall colors were gold and burgundy and Oakwood was able to provide us with tablecloths, linens, and decorative plates to match. We were able to set up tastings to sample the dinner options. The food is amazing! Our guests raved about it. We worked very closely with Katelyn Lawson who is the wedding coordinator there. She was super helpful and easy to work with. Katelyn went above and beyond helping me prepare for the day of. She was always able to meet last minute and she gave me great advice as to what would work well in the space. She took care of setting up, cutting the cake, and cleaning up for us so we could enjoy our party. The next day we simply stopped by and picked up a couple prepacked boxes and that was that. We were also able to use the club's golf carts to go out onto the golf course and take pictures. The course has wonderfully tall trees, a hidden lake, and even some fountains in the back. Oakwood really is the total package and we would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality reception hall.
We were contacted very shortly after with information and set up a meeting date and time. When the date and time came the event planner we were suppose to meet was not there. We we...
re told that she had a family emergency and that they didn't know we were coming. Someone did show us around but it would have been nice if someone would have contacted us to let us know and there should have been better communication. The place also was old, dirty and smelled inside.
I can't thank Dedra and the other staff enough for the work they did for our wedding. We hosted both our ceremony and reception at Oakwood. Dedra is very organized and helped wit...
h some of the unique requests we had for our reception. From creating the edible centerpieces we wanted for appetizers to helping serve our grandparents food from the buffet the staff at Oakwood helped make a very long day flow very smoothly. They ensured our families had everything they needed throughout a very long day.
Everyone loved the setting and architectural details on the inside. We did a buffet dinner and everyone raved about the food. The food was excellent. I highly recommend the chicken piccata. We really couldn't have asked for anything more from the staff. As a Bride my day was 100% stress free because I knew Dedra and her staff had things under control.
Oakwood's event space is beautiful, I was drawn to it originally because the interior reminds me of a castle. We used it for our reception space. The Foyer served as a great danc...
e floor and although the dining space was cramped for the size of our guest list (250), the atmosphere was worthwhile. Some planning aspects were a little unorganized to my standards, but everything worked out in the end. The night of the reception, there was a few communication issues between the serving staff and the DJ, especially pertaining to when certain events were taking place, but the staff was very accommodating anytime we brought up a concern or question. We did a dinner buffet and the food was delicious!
What a wonderful venue! The setting was fun and beautiful and the food was fabulous. The staff was very attentive and made sure we were happy throughout the evening. All in all,...
couldn't have asked for a better experience!
The initial introduction was superb. Dedra Rippee is extremely professional and thorough. She was so wonderful. I pray more brides have their wedding at Oakwood Country Club. It wa...
s my oldest daughter, so my first wedding one of my children. The staff was amazing. My daughter has not stopped smiling since the minute the bride and groom arrived at the reception. Her beautiful smile validates how amazing her reception was. We couldn’t have pulled it off without Dedra and her great staff.
We feel in love with Oakwood Country Club when we walked into the Reception area and saw their beautiful old architecture with large windows and the wonderful golf course, beautifu...
lly maintained! The service provided by Dedra throughout our planning was excellent! Our food was enjoyed by everyone and service was above par the day of! We could not have been happier that we chose Oakwood Country Club for our wedding. Everyone is still raving about how pretty and fun the wedding was!!!
I really loved the location and the over-all appearance of Oakwood. My husband is a hunter and Oakwood's beautiful building being a former hunting lodge made it the perfect venue f...
or us. The days leading up to my wedding, I know my Mother and wedding planner did have a few issues with the event coordinator of the country club, but the day of my event was wonderful. The catering director and his assistant were so accomedating and wonderful to myself, my husband and all our family/guests!!! THE FOOD WAS THE BEST MEAL I'VE EVER HAD!!!! Seriously. I have guests a month later still complimenting how great the meal was! The bar staff was both friendly and fun. Overall my score would be a perfect five stars if my mother and wedding planner had been happier with their experience. I really think Oakwood is a hidden gem :)
