If I could give The Oakley 10 stars, I absolutely would!
We got married there on June 20, 2026, and from the very beginning, Alicia—the co-owner and our month-of/day-of coordinato...
r—was incredibly organized, responsive, and supportive throughout the entire planning process. She made us feel confident and cared for every step of the way.
The entire Oakley family and staff went above and beyond before, during, and after our wedding weekend. On Friday, they helped with setup and ran our rehearsal. Saturday morning, they took care of all the finishing touches, including hanging drapery, placing flowers and décor, setting up chairs, and arranging the ceremony signage. On Sunday, they helped with cleanup and gathered all of our décor to pack up. Their attention to detail and willingness to help made the entire experience feel effortless and seamless.
The venue itself is absolutely stunning. From the charming courtyard and beautiful greenhouse to the ceremony site overlooking the pond and the gorgeous reception barn, every part of The Oakley is picture-perfect. It's clear they have thoughtfully designed every space with couples in mind and truly considered everything a bride and groom could want for their wedding day.
We are so grateful to Alicia and the entire Oakley team for making our wedding weekend so magical. If you're looking for a beautiful venue with an amazing staff that genuinely cares about making your day unforgettable, I cannot recommend The Oakley enough!

From the very beginning of our wedding planning journey, we knew hosting a wedding from out of state could come with its challenges. We were nervous about the distance, t...
he logistics, and the countless details that need to come together to make a wedding day seamless. What we could not have anticipated, however, was just how incredible the team at The Oakley would be every single step of the way. To say they exceeded our expectations is an understatement—our experience with this venue and its staff was nothing short of extraordinary.
From our our first visit, we were blown away by how beautiful the venue was, how well maintained and manicured every part of the property was. Alicia was incredible from the start and had an answer for all of our questions and immediately eased our minds and put many of our worries at ease. The entire staff was accommodating, cooperative, and truly invested in making our day everything we envisioned. They were patient and understanding when we had questions or concerns, and they offered helpful guidance when we weren’t quite sure what direction to take. Every single member of the team—from the owners to the coordinators, from the bar staff to everyone working behind the scenes—demonstrated genuine care, professionalism, and dedication.
A special mention must go to Alicia, who was nothing short of phenomenal. Her level of detail, thoughtfulness, and organization is unmatched. She had contingency plans for every possible scenario and made sure that we always felt reassured and confident, even when nerves set in. Her ability to anticipate needs, communicate clearly, and execute flawlessly was one of the biggest reasons we felt so at ease in the days leading up to the wedding. Knowing she was overseeing everything allowed us to focus on what truly mattered—celebrating the most important day of our lives.
On the wedding day itself, everything came together more beautifully than we could have ever imagined. The venue looked stunning, the flow of the day was seamless, and every small detail was handled with such care that it felt as though our vision had come to life effortlessly. Guests raved about the atmosphere, the service, and the warmth of the staff. From the ceremony to the reception, and even during the final moments of the evening, the team was attentive, kind, and always ready to go the extra mile.
Looking back, we can honestly say that our wedding day was not only everything we imagined, but even more magical than we could have hoped for—and that is largely thanks to The Oakley, Alicia, Allyson, Ken and Cathy, and rest of the remarkable team. We feel so grateful to have chosen this venue and these people to be part of our celebration. The only complaint we walked away with after our big day, is that we cannot do it over and over again!
For anyone considering hosting their wedding or special event here, know that you will be in the best of hands.

Their attention to detail, professionalism, and warm personalities made the entire planning process seamless and stress-free. The venue itself is stunning, but it was the incredible service that truly made our day unforgettable. We are so grateful to the Oakley Events team—especially Alicia and Allyson—for helping bring our vision to life. Highly recommend!

he staff went above and beyond for us to make our wedding weekend perfect. We had our rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony, and wedding reception all at this venue. Alicia & Allison were extremely helpful on our wedding day and never stopped moving to get things done! They made the whole planning process easy & fun. We cannot recommend this venue enough!! Thank you to all of The Oakley staff!

best place to be married. I understood why so many people love The Oakley. The property is beautiful and so well taken care of. The natural surroundings, the horses in the background, and the peaceful setting made everything feel magical. It was truly a dream come true to be married there. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and clearly designed with care.
The Oakley just has that extra something that makes it stand out from other venues. I believe what really made our experience amazing was the staff. Alicia and her team are incredible—they were on top of every detail and made us feel completely taken care of. Any time we had questions or needed to make adjustments, they responded quickly and with so much patience and professionalism. You can tell they truly care about the people they serve. Planning anything big can be stressful, but The Oakley team made it feel so smooth and easy. I can’t recommend this place enough—beautiful setting, incredible people, and an unforgettable experience.
Thank you so much for everything!! 🤍

Words cannot express how happy we are with our experience at The Oakley. Our entire wedding weekend went off without a hitch, and that’s all thanks to Alicia and the incredible tea...
m at The Oakley.
We discovered this venue nearly 2 years before our wedding and, living out of state, only toured it virtually before booking our date. It felt right from the start and our experience only got better from there.
In the lead-up to the big day, we exchanged countless emails and phone calls with Alicia. She was always quick to respond, full of helpful suggestions and incredibly supportive (even when we changed our floorplan at least 10 times). About a month before our wedding, we started having even more frequent communication with Alicia and Allyson as they helped us to iron out all the details that we never would have thought about on our own. Thanks to their organization and support, we headed into our wedding weekend nearly stress free - something I honestly never thought was possible!
Beyond the amazing team, the venue itself can’t be matched. The bride and groom suites were exactly what each of us needed. The outdoor ceremony space was beautiful even in early May before the trees had fully bloomed. The greenhouse and courtyard gave our guests a relaxed, beautiful setting for cocktail hour, and the reception space struck the perfect balance of being beautiful but having flexibility. It had just enough built-in decor to be gorgeous, but still gave us room to make it our own.
Looking back, the month-of-coordination and access to the venue Friday through Sunday were the biggest game changers. We didn’t fully appreciate these when we first booked, but now can’t imagine having gone without.
To Alicia, Allyson, Ken, Cathy, Matt and the entire Oakley team - THANK YOU for the most perfect wedding weekend. We cannot recommend you enough!!!
If you book this venue for any single reason, Alicia should be that reason. Her communication is amazing, she is there for you every step of the way and thinks of things I never wo...
uld have. Having a month of coordinator may not seem like an important thing when in the early stages of planning, but let me tell you, it saved me! Not only is this venue absolutely gorgeous, but their entire staff is so friendly and welcoming. We knew we wanted something different when we were venue shopping and The Oakley had it all; A bridal and groom's suite, ceremony space, reception space, a separate area for cocktail hour, and a bonus courtyard. It is definitely an investment $$ but was worth it for us. We had quite a few guests ask how we found The Oakley and tell us how it was one of the most beautiful places they'd ever been for a wedding. Thank you to Alicia & the McKays for an amazing day!!
I cannot even express how amazing working with The Oakley and Alicia was for our wedding day. Alicia is very organized, knowledgeable and very fun to work with for all things weddi...
ng. 4 months later we still get compliments on the property and Alicia/staff. Would recommend The Oakley to anyone who is looking for a venue (any kind of event), as their property and staff are one-of-kind!

ers, and the coordinators were so amazing! They made the day run so smooth, and were very communicative! I cannot recommend them enough!!
Thank you Oakley Fam!
The Oakley was our perfect wedding venue and our wedding experience through this venue was exceptional. On site there is an outdoor space for the ceremony, an outdoor courtyard for...
cocktail hour (which can also be utilized for rehearsal dinner), a greenhouse, an inside reception area that comes with a bridal suite to get ready/store stuff for the day, and a separate house for the groomsmen to get ready in. Everything over the entire weekend from set up time and rehearsal dinner on Friday to wedding day Saturday to clean up Sunday was unbelievably smooth. The process began when we toured the Oakley almost 2 years before our wedding date. Alicia, the venue coordinator, was warm and welcoming on our initial visit. It wasn't until we sent in our deposit that we learned how helpful and how engrained Alicia would be throughout the entire process. Over the 2 years we communicated through hundreds of emails, multiple phone calls, and multiple visits. Alicia was super responsive and was eager to answer all our questions. When we got closer to our date, Alicia took the reins and helped us get everything organized from vendors, timeline, special guests, anything you can think of. She contacted our vendors to make sure we didn't have to worry about who was arriving when or how. On our wedding day, she communicated with our vendors and the entire staff to ensure everything ran smoothly, which it did. The Oakley also has a bar service that was super easy to work with. They helped us pick out quantities and types of alcohol to keep guests satisfied. Our wedding guests continuously told us how much they loved our venue from the beautiful views to the helpful and welcoming staff. The Oakley is the perfect wedding venue, and you get an outstanding person in Alicia to work with. We cannot recommend this venue enough.
Truly amazing! Everything was perfect from start to finish. If you are looking for a wedding venue with a gorgeous setting, amazing team and stress free wedding experience this is ...
the place to be!!
I wish everybody could have a wedding experience like we did at the Oakley. I seriously cannot stress that enough. It was such an incredible experience and we are still in shock at...
how seamless and perfect everything went. You will not get the hospitality, customer service, thoroughness, organization, or dedication from any other team that you work with. My husband and I toured the Oakley 2+ years before our wedding. On our tour, Alicia welcomed us with open arms, sat us down, made us feel comfortable, went through everything with us, and never pressured us to make a decision. When walked out that day, we both looked at eachother and knew we wanted to get married there and sent our deposit in. From that moment, Alicia became more than a venue coordinator to us. She became a friend. We exchanged hundreds to thousands (literally) of emails and she was always happy and timely to respond to all of our questions. She was extremely organized with all of our ideas and plans and had everything laid out for us. She had every detail set and made wedding planning so easy. We truly felt so at ease. When we got closer to the wedding, we had multiple calls to ensure we were both on the same page and the organization still didn’t waver. She contacted our vendors, kept us in the loop, and made sure all of our final details were perfected. The weekend of the wedding, everything went absolutely perfect. The Oakley Bar was great to work with for our alcohol, everything was organized and we had them handle everything - there was no stress! The Oakley is a family owned venue and that speaks volumes. Everything on the property was immaculate and perfect. The staff was incredibly sweet, family oriented, and made sure everything was just how we envisioned. You even build a relationship with the owners of the property! Our wedding guests continue to tell us how beautiful the property was and how they have never been to a wedding where the staff was so welcoming and involved and just how the venue is truly one of a kind. Not to mention, everything is right on site in one place. The ceremony space, greenhouse and courtyard for cocktail hour, bridal suite, reception area, and hundreds of different beautiful, timeless, and breathtaking areas for photos - the Oakley is truly a one stop stop! You have to see it for yourself! I truly wish everybody could get an opportunity to experience their wedding day with a team like the Oakley. I cannot recommend this venue enough. If you are considering the Oakley, they will give you an experience that will make your wedding day or event as perfect and magical as you dream of it to be.

r questions about the venue and ensuring we felt completely at ease.
The tour day, and our wedding day truly felt like a fairy tale come to life. Everything was seamless, just as Alicia promised from day one. We were able to rent the horse carriage and it made it feel even more like a fairy tale.
We also had the option to rent the greenhouse for a rehearsal dinner. I highly recommend this because it was a nice intimate dinner to welcome guests- something you might not get at a restaurant.
The Oakley Bar, preferred vendors, and co-owners Cathy and Ken were also fantastic to work with!
Choosing The Oakley and working with Alicia was undoubtedly the best decision we made in our wedding planning journey. We are forever grateful for their dedication and expertise in making our day absolutely perfect.
Our experience with The Oakley was incredible in every way! Alicia, Felicia and the rest of the staff are absolutely amazing and really took the time to help us think through every...

nt to visit the Oakley for us and basically told us it was the perfect venue and we would be crazy not to book it. Well, they were right. The second we started talking to Alicia over the phone, I knew this was the place I wanted to get married. Not only was she extremely professional, she also felt like someone we knew for years. You’re not just another wedding at the Oakley, you’re family. We spent 2 years planning our wedding and Alicia was always there for questions big and small, vendor recommendations, and support to help guide us through the planning process. The Oakley truly allows you to plan your perfect day down to each custom detail. Even the bar staff work one on one with you to create signature cocktails, and allow each couple to choose what specific alcohol you want on your big day. Not many venues allow you this much choice. Not only are the staff amazing, the venue space offers so much flexibility. Each couple has access to the venue from Friday to Sunday so you can really enjoy your day on Saturday without the stress of set up and tear down. Not only that, the grounds are amazingly tranquil and dreamy. So many of our guests were stunned at this private hidden gem. There are so many different spaces to utilize. We had our rehearsal dinner in the greenhouse on Friday night. We used the same space for a sunny cocktail hour on the patio. The reception space is a perfect modern but classic blank slate for whatever wedding vision you have. I can’t thank Alicia and the rest of the Oakley staff enough. We felt cared for, heard, supported, and loved from the moment we booked them. I already miss the Oakley team and wish we could do it all over again!
If you're still searching for your wedding location, look no further! The Oakley is so beautiful and spacious, our guests could not say enough how much they loved the venue! Alicia...
and Felicia were AMAZING to work with!! They made the planning/preparation process SO easy and fun. They were such a huge help and we couldn't imagine having our wedding anywhere else!

ordinator, Alicia, was so knowledgeable throughout the process and made sure everything was executed perfectly. From the first time we toured the venue to the day of our wedding she was there for any questions that we had. Wedding planning can be so overwhelming, but Alicia and her team made it easy and seamless. We had access to the venue starting the Friday before until the Sunday after. What I loved about The Oakley was that they only do one wedding a weekend so you are their priority for the whole weekend. The property itself is well kept and expansive. All of our guests raved about how beautiful it was.
Thank you Oakley team for helping us with the most perfect day that we will never forget!
I would recommend The Oakley to any couple looking for the perfect wedding venue. No venue we looked at compared to The Oakley! The venue is beautiful including the greenhouse, cou...
rtyard, and indoor reception area. The Oakley also offers an individual experience to make your day completely about you and your spouse! Our day was perfect and stress-free due to the efforts Alicia put in throughout the entire planning process. Trust me, I would email her endlessly and she always answered the same day. I was able to relax and enjoy the entire day of our wedding all because of Alicia and Felicia. If I could give The Oakley 10 stars I would!!!
We truly could not have conjured up a better team to work with if we tried. The team at The Oakley are incredibly personable, knowledgeable, and above all - ON TOP OF IT. We spent ...
two years planning our wedding and not once over that time span did we feel overwhelmed or confused after leaving a meeting or conversation with Alicia McKay. She helped us stay organized, kept an open line of communication, and made sure we weren’t forgetting any small details that otherwise would be easy to overlook. On wedding day, Alicia and her team were a DREAM. I am still in awe of how smoothly and nonchalantly they made sure everything ran. Aside from the incredible team, the venue itself is a dream. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the experience the venue has to offer - from beautiful landscape, gorgeous horses on the property, and a bright and elegant indoor area. There aren’t enough words to explain how highly we recommend The Oakley.
The Oakley is the perfect wedding venue and it could not be recommended enough! We had the best experience working with Alicia and the McKays. Alicia and the entire team went above...
and beyond to ensure our wedding went off without a hitch. The venue is absolutely stunning, and has a little bit of everything. If you are looking for a breath-taking venue with a team that will meet your needs and then some, this is the place to be. Thank you so much for making our dreams come true!

Highly recommend this venue if you are looking for a PERFECT day!

at the Oakley this past October and I have received countless phone calls/texts from people just calling to let me know how beautiful the venue is. Alicia and her staff made sure the wedding went as planned and made sure that the night flowed seamlessly. Weddings have a lot of moving parts, so being able to relax and not worry about anything is something I don't think most people understand the true value of until the next day.
I cannot recommend The Oakley enough. If your goal is to have one of the greatest weddings ever, you have found the right place.
Stop looking now, The Oakley is the best venue you will find hands down. We had the most smooth, easy and best wedding ever. Coming from someone who has been in 21 weddings and see...

When we had an issue with a vendor, Alicia did not hesitate to step in to help us. Kathy and Ken were just as kind and generous, going out of their way to help in any way they could. We could not have asked for a better experience for our wedding! We love The Oakley family!

long the way, accommodating all our requests. Alicia is extremely detail oriented and helped ensure that everything went off without a hitch on our big day.

We highly recommend the Oakley!

e had to do last year after already being engaged since 2018. Alicia handled it with grace and let all my vendors know what was going on. I've been in contact with Alicia since 2018! She not only answers every single detailed question I throw her way, but she always got back to me same day! Sometimes even within the hour! Mark and I have nothing but amazing things to say about The Oakley. Every single guest had something nice to say and the night seemed effortless. Wow what a night and worth the wait!
Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts

We hope to be able to use the space again someday. Our day(s) were perfect and the venue was key.

We were drawn to The Oakley because of the absolute beauty of the venue but what helped us make a decision was working with Alicia and her team. Alicia was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable but also was like a supportive sister who is genuinely excited to celebrate your marriage. The McKay family was also so helpful and kind and we're so thankful to have worked with them!
We received SO many compliments on how beautiful the venue was and having our wedding here was like a dream come true. We were confident our wedding day would be great because we were at The Oakley and it truly was! We can’t thank The Oakley team enough for everything!
My husband and I looked at a decent amount of venues before finding the Oakley and booked it the day we toured - there is nothing like it! Alicia is amazing and organized and made ...
the process of wedding planning so easy for us. We rented The Estate for the weekend, had the rehearsal dinner there Friday night and our Reception on Saturday in the venue. It was the best weekend of our lives and I could not recommend The Oakley more. Alicia, Cathy, and Ken made the day unforgettable and were on top of literally everything before and the weekend of the wedding and kept me sane. Our guests are still raving about how beautiful the grounds are, how great the McKay family is, and how much fun they had.
We could not have picked a better venue for our wedding. As soon as we met Alicia & saw the grounds we fell in love. The Oakley is extremely versatile which was beyond important as...
we were attempting to plan our wedding with the uncertainty of a pandemic. Alicia, Cathy, and Ken went above and beyond to make sure that we were able to have our dream wedding no matter the circumstances. They offered us multiple options and back up plans in case of any changes. We ended up having our wedding completely outdoors and it was beautiful. Everyone at The Oakley is so hands on and willing to help make the day a success. The made us feel like family for the weekend.
We could not speak more highly of the Oakley and Alicia. The venue is beautiful, the preferred vendors made our planning easy, and Alicia is extremely professional and responsive. ...
We thought planning our wedding from out of state would be more difficult, but Alicia's quick response to all of our emails, even on nights and weekends, made everything so much easier. During the COVID-19 situation, Alicia was so supportive and flexible, making herself available to talk through options and alternatives. When we decided cancelling our wedding was the best option for us personally, the Oakley continued to be supportive and showed that they truly just wanted us to be happy. It's in a crazy situation like COVID that we are grateful we chose a family run venue that was so kind and understanding during all of the uncertainty. While we didn't end up getting to host our day there, we will be recommending the Oakley to all of our family and friends and hopefully will get to go back!
We had the absolute best day thanks to The Oakley! Alicia was absolutely amazing to work with and made everything so easy, any issues, changes anything she gladly made them and too...
k care of them! Any questions we had she was always so quick to get back with us! the owners are also extremely easy to work with, they made everything we wanted work without hesitation! The venue is kept so nice and so clean, and it alone is beautiful without decor! The grounds are kept so nice, with such a large variety of locations to take photos! Truly an amazing venue but even better when they are so easy to work with! Couldn’t have asked for a better wedding day and owe it all to them for making my day so magical!
Thank you thank you thank you for making our wedding dreams come true! Alicia was an absolute dream to work with. She was always so kind, fun, and accommodating. Her and Cathy were...
always willing to help out wherever need be, especially in the prep work and day of troubleshooting last minute things that came up. I cannot say enough how beautiful the venue is. It was rustic and peaceful and romantic and airy and just so wonderful. It was so nice having the wedding and reception at the same location so everyone could truly sit back and relax at the wedding, cocktail hour, and reception. Guests were all over inside and outside, playing games, down by the pond, sitting by the fire, and visiting the horses. People felt like they truly got to relax and enjoy the day rather than running around driving to different locations for different parts of the day. It was so magical and everyone STILL keeps complimenting the wedding and how beautiful the venue was! I also can’t say enough about how convenient it was to get ready in the bridal suite the morning of. All the girls were at the venue and got to hang out and it allowed us more time to get photos rather than scramble to be somewhere else at a certain time. The guys got ready in the lower level of the estate the day of and had a great time playing cards and pool and just being guys. Everything about our wedding flowed so smoothly and was SO beautiful I would choose the Oakley over and over again! Best day ever thanks to the best venue and best staff ever!!!
If I could give The Oakley & the staff 10/5 I would!!! First of all, the venue & the grounds are absolutely gorgeous. One visit to The Oakley and you will fall in love. We rented t...
he estate for our rehearsal dinner & for the wedding party to stay the night on Friday- this worked out so wonderfully and everyone had a blast! The groomsmen got ready at the estate on Saturday morning, which worked out so well. The bridesmaids got ready in the bridal suite in the venue, which is so beautiful! Secondly, Alicia, Cathy, & Ken of The Oakley are a dream team. They went above and beyond for us all throughout the planning process and the weekend of our wedding. They were always willing to meet with us and so patient with our endless questions! Our wedding turned out better than we could have ever hoped! I would recommend The Oakley to everyone!!! The Oakley & the staff have a place in our hearts forever!! We couldn't have asked for anything more.
We had our wedding at The Oakley at the end of September and we could not be happier with our decision. We met Alicia and the McKays when The Oakley was still a functioning barn an...
d immediately knew we needed to book with them. Alicia and the McKay family went above and beyond from the start to make sure our wedding was perfect. We stayed at the house with our out of town family and used the house to host our rehearsal dinner and Sunday brunch. Utilizing the house made our wedding that much more special-- we were able to have everyone together and it made set up and getting ready the day of so much easier and less stressful. Alicia and the entire family made sure our wedding was perfect and made sure everything went smoothly. The venue looked amazing on its own- other than our tables we didn’t have to worry about any additional decorations. The Oakley itself and the surrounding farm made for an amazing setting. Being able to utilize the outdoor space for cocktail hour and throughout the night made it so much more unique for our guests. We received compliments from our guests all night, and continuing today, about how amazing and unique the venue was. We would absolutely recommend The Oakley to anyone- it made our wedding day so perfect!
The Oakley Events hosted my wedding just a few days ago. My husband and I planned our wedding in a short time frame and the McKays were nothing short of amazing. They helped us any...
and every way they could. The venue and property itself is just beyond gorgeous. Every guest was amazed and shocked to find such a gorgeous venue in Holly. The McKay's made sure every part of our day was perfect. If your wondering if you should book your event here....do it. You will be so glad you did! We even took our sunset pictures with their beautiful horses. I will look back on our wedding day and always be so thankful we got to choose The Oakley Events. Thank you for all you did!
