Nearly two years later and guests are still raving about the food!! Lisa and the entire Southern Oaks team were a pleasure to work with, accommodating every request and whim. Lisa worked with our budget to customize the menu to mine and the groom’s favorite things! The display was beautiful, the food delicious, and the team professional. I recommend them to every friend and family member who is hosting an event!
Southern Oaks did a phenomenal job from beginning to end! We could not be more impressed. We were invited to a few tasting & got to taste all of the food we wanted. We got to bring a few family members with us as well. The food and presentation was AMAZING. Perfect serving sizes. We got so many compliments at our wedding on how good the food was! Lisa & her team did an amazing job & made this whole process one step easier! HIGHLY recommend! Super nice people, fun & easy to work with! We were so happy and pleased with their services on our wedding day. You will not be disappointed! 10/10!!!
Lovely facility, good food and service too. Be sure to order the Chicken Salad Wonton Taco's on your menu. They are the BEST!!
I love planning events witness Southern Oaks! Their food and service is unmatched, and that makes my job as a wedding planner so much easier! The new updates to their venue are classic and timeless! You will not regret hosting an event at Southern Oaks!
Southern Oaks catered our daughter's wedding and we could not have been more pleased with our decision. In addition to providing wonderful food and service, Lisa went well above and beyond the scope of her engagement. She worked hand in hand with our wedding coordinator and helped us make decisions that enhanced the event as well as some that helped us stay within our budget without affecting the quality of our reception.
We would not hesitate to recommend Lisa and her staff for any event!
Despite the rain (flooding) and mud everything was beautiful, food was a hit,and everyone had a great time!! I highly recommend southern oaks and their staff they went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure everything was PERFECT for Shelby on her wedding day!!
Thank you to Southern Oaks for making our wedding so memorable. You did a wonderful job of catering our wedding offsite. The food and serve was wonderful, especially the Chicken Salad Wonton Taco's.
Southern Oaks was the perfect venue for our wedding. Everything down to the smallest detailed was handled by staff. The Garden Area outside was a perfect setting for our ceremony and then we moved inside to the large ballroom for the reception. I highly recommend Southern Oaks as a venue and for their catering. Definitely order the chicken salad wonton taco's on your menu. You want be disappointed.
I absolutely loved using Southern Oaks to cater my wedding!! They took care of everything so well and made things stress-free, which I appreciated very much! The food was so delicious, and the display of everything was beautiful too! All of my guests were very complimentary on the food, especially the late night cheese fry bar! 😊 I highly recommend using Southern Oaks for all of your catering needs!!
Always willing to work with you and goes over and beyond what is expected! Food not only looks good but tastes good too!!! They also have a great menu selection!!
Southern Oaks catered our wedding but did far more than just cater it. Lisa at Southern Oaks helped us cast a vision for what we wanted our wedding reception to look like and she and her team executed it perfectly. The food was delicious (we still crave it often) and the team was highly professional. We felt like we had a second wedding planner in Lisa because we were so well taken care of. This is a company that goes above and beyond and clearly takes pride in what they do. I couldn't recommend them any more strongly.
My wedding was an outdoor wedding on the rainiest/muddiest day ever and Lisa and her team were amazing and still made sure everything was perfect! The food was great and the flowers and decorations were wonderful! I would recommend them any day and for any occasion! :)
As we started planning our daughter’s wedding, I knew from that first call to Lisa, at Southern Oaks and Gardens, that we were in good hands. Lisa and Jimmy’s attention to detail is second to none! Lisa’s planning meetings were well organized and thorough, and she never seemed rushed.
The reception food was so beautifully presented and was delicious. The chef, Jimmy, Lisa, and their fabulous team went over and beyond to ensure that it was truly a “night to remember”!
Southern Oaks is simply one of the best vendors in our area. They truly care about the overall experience they provide for their clients and guests. In addition, they work well with other vendors involved in the event. The menu was superb and over the top for the Crosetti-Smith wedding reception. The Southern Oaks staff went above and beyond to make the couple and their guest enjoy the evening. I will definitely use them for my next catered event.
Southern Oaks was great to work with on my wedding. The food was delicious and the presentation was beyond my expectations.
Lisa and the Southern Oaks team we’re fabulous! The food is still being talked about. What other caterer wakes up in the middle of the night with ideas on how to make your groom’s cake dreams come true?!
Southern Oaks did an amazing job catering my daughter’s wedding at Waterloo Farm! The presentation of the food was beautiful and the taste was delicious! I would definitely recommend them to cater any event you are planning! No stress. No worries!
We LOVED Lisa's venue, the beautiful setting, delicious food and all accommodations! Our guest also praised Southern Oaks House & Gardens and the wedding decorations. I highly recommend Lisa and her staff for any type of event you are hosting. Thank you Lisa for a beautiful, stress free service!
Lisa at Southern Oaks completely nailed everything I wanted. I didn’t even have to give her much detail. She always made time to meet with us to go over things. The food was delicious as always, and the entire staff was professional. My wedding was exactly the way I wanted it. I highly recommend Southern Oaks!
Everything was what I expected and more!
Lisa went over and beyond helping me with my wedding. The whole crew was amazing! I wish I could thank each and everyone of them personally. The atmosphere that I wanted she created on point! The food was amazing and my flowers were beautiful!
I don't even know where to start! From the first time my husband and I met Lisa, I knew we were going to be in wonderful hands! She and her staff were so great and made our wedding planning practically effortless from choosing the food to selecting the floral arrangements. The staff at SOHG will go above and beyond to satisfy your wants and needs and I couldn't have been more pleased with our experience! I HIGHLY recommend them for your special day or event! To this day, I still have people tell me how amazing the food was (especially the shrimp and grits)! Thank you Lisa and the staff at SOHG for making our day so unforgettable! :)
Southern Oaks will take care of all of your wedding needs. I recently used their facility to host our dream wedding. They were wonderful from start to finish. They even do a bridal tasting so you can try out their delicious food. I would highly recommend the Chicken Salad Wonton Taco's for your menu. The floral designs they did for our wedding were absolutely beautiful. Southern Oaks is truly a one stop shop for all your wedding needs.

6 1/2 years ago Lisa and the staff at Southern Oaks outdid themselves for our wedding, reception and rehearsal dinner.

Southern Oaks made all of my wedding dreams come true! The wedding planner took my vision and turned it into a reality! The food was amazing as well! Wedding planning with Southern Oaks was a great experience!
We used Southern Oaks for our wedding and reception. I highly recommend using this place as a venue. Lisa was so helpful throughout he entire planning process. She was able to find decorations I wanted for the wedding and reception. The flower arrangements were beautiful and food was delicious. The outside venue was beautiful for pictures. The staff was welcoming and great to work with.
We used Southern Oaks for our flowers at our rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony, and reception. All of the flower arrangements were absolutely stunning! They were fresh and smelled amazing! I would highly recommend Southern Oaks for flowers!
Southern Oaks has it all from the venue to the food to the flowers and decorations. I simply told the planner what my vision for the wedding was (bright wildflower look) and sent her a couple of images of arrangements I had seen online, and she created the most beautiful bouquets and arrangements! They were even better than what I had imagined and reasonably priced!
