We worked with Ezdra for majority of the planning process and she was great. Very responsive whenever I emailed with questions and explained everything clearly. It was a pleasure working with her. The venue was everything we wanted. With 130ish people everyone was comfortable and without feeling crowded. The grounds gave room for our guest to be inside and enjoy the beautiful weather. We had everything we needed. It was truly a beautiful location.

TOAH was the perfect choice for my and my husband's wedding in late October, 2024. We loved the versatility of the indoor and outdoor spaces, which really made it feel like we had 3 venues in one! The champagne wall was such a hit, everyone loved the food - especially late night mac n cheese - and the decor we were able to choose from really set the mood. More than anything, I want to highlight the day of TOAH rep, Devin (I think that's how you spell it!) WAS PHENOMENAL. He was communicative, accommodating, extremely friendly and honestly made the day go so smooth. He honestly earned these 5 stars, for sure! I also loved how everything was included in the price - it was perfect for our budget!

We had our wedding at the Oaks at Heavenly in early January 2025. From first walk through to our grand exit, we had an amazing experience. The venue is magical, and the Oaks provide and organize so much of the details. We didn't need to bring much to the venue to make it fit our vision perfectly. They worked with us throughout the planning process, made sure all the details were just right, helped plan out the timeline for the day, and were simply the best hosts for our family and friends! I recommend it for any couple looking for that perfect indoor-outdoor experience!

There aren't enough words to express how grateful we are to have had the pleasure of having our wedding here. Not only is the venue beautiful, but the staff is amazing! We had a rainy, wet day and they did all they could to ensure we still had our outdoor ceremony. I can't tell you how many times I called, emailed, and texted and every time the staff was so helpful and pleasant to work with. Devin made our day! He was so helpful, thoughtful, and just allowed for us to have an incredible wedding. As soon as we felt two drops of water, there he was with an umbrella coming our way. We are thankful to the staff and venue for making our day special.

Absolutely amazing venue, from the staff, sensory they hit every box! we had the absolute pleasure of getting to work with beloved Loretta before her passing, she was the main reason we booked our special day at their beautiful venue. We also used their catering which was delicious and super accommodating with me being lactose intolerant. I will forever recommend both of their businesses. Loretta's husband is doing a amazing job with keeping her spirit alive he was in attendance at of wedding and was amazing with making sure we were happy.

From start to finish they assisted me in my 2023 wedding. I was an out of town bride and the owner (original owner Loretta who sadly passed away) gave me cake, photo recommendations as well. I used the heavenly gourmet catering (under same company) which I would recommend as well. I loved the space for cocktail hour, the getting ready areas, the beautiful green and rod iron gazebo for walking down isle. Great reception space that if it rains, everything can be moved indoors.

This venue absolutely made all our wedding dreams come true. It's got such a cozy feel to it and the natural elements only added to our decor. Not only was venue itself lovely, the staff was absolutely amazing! Perla was always available to answer many questions and Devin was so helpful when setting up. Everything about this truly made a heavenly experience for us and we enjoyed every minute of it.

We booked the Oaks at Heavenly when we first got engaged in 2022 as we wanted a place nearby but also felt like you were in the hill country. This venue has a nice rustic charm with plenty of picturesque areas. Perla and Devin were very responsive in any questions or concerns we had about the planning. Devin and his staff were amazing in making the day flow as simple as we wanted and hoped for this past Saturday (10/21)! We received many compliments on our choice of venue. Plenty of space for people indoors and the outdoor area at night was beautiful.

I’m not even sure where to start on how disappointing this venue and the owner is.
I had my wedding here about 2 weeks ago and while Devin, the staff who actually came to the wedding, was amazing…..everyone else is incompetent, rude, and VERY unprofessional. I toured the venue last year after getting engaged and loved Loretta…. She seemed so helpful and awesome and like she really cared about her brides experience…..however this is the LAST time I would speak with her because the 10 months leading up to my wedding she left me on read, didn’t respond to my several emails, and even hung up on me one time when I finally got a hold of her. My wedding coordinator finally got a hold of her a month before the wedding, while we were stranded on the side of the road of the venue because her staff was AN HOUR AND HALF LATE to our final walk through and hadn’t planned on showing up at all until we called, and Loretta was very rude and unhelpful. She will only respond to a Coordinator if she thinks her (already bad) rep is on the line. And they either never show up to a meeting THEY scheduled with you or they are extremely late…either way extremely unprofessional. You will ALWAYS hear from them when THEY need to collect a payment though!!!!! It’s all they really care about anyway. They were also doing tours day of my wedding….so there were times where we needed a staff member, like when the power went out while we were getting ready, and their assistant told us we’d have to wait because they were doing a tour???? No I already paid to be here……but they had already gotten their money from me so what did they care, onto the next victims right??
Her catering company and staff was almost just as bad as the venue…. They forgot our Mac n cheese bar completely (according ti the servers) and just used the Mac n cheese they had from the kids plates and someone from the wait staff had to run to H‑E‑B to get the toppings real quick. This of course was AFTER we reminded them about it mid reception. Wait staff that was prepaid for didn’t show up, and they forgot the chargers we had picked out completely. At the end of the night the bar tenders also dug into the top tier of our wedding cake, didn’t even cut pieces they were just eating off of it with forks, that we were saving and wanting to take home….
And now here I am 3 weeks after my wedding and I am just now getting my refund for the staff that didn’t show up and our deposit. We had to email, call, and text Loretta AND her staff several times just to get this done. It’s like pulling teeth to get anything done with this place. I fully believe they had no intention of returning the nearly $900 refund until we RELENTLESSLY annoyed them about it….

I don’t even know where to start. It was like The Oaks at Heavenly was supposed to be the venue for our wedding. The location was perfect, not just because of the location, but because my now husband has so many roots in the area. It felt like we could honor his childhood in those hill country hills. I fell in love with the venue the moment I saw pictures. Then we visited The Oaks at Heavenly and I knew that’s where we were getting married. It was such a beautiful venue! That was just the beginning.
Loretta, the owner, was a god send! She made planning our wedding a breeze! Her experience and knowledge is so immense. Whenever I needed something she was there. She helped us find some of the best vendors we could ask for. Loretta, even welcomed us to the open house even though we had already booked the venue. She walked right up to us and said hello as if we were long time friends.
Devin was our go to man the days leading up to, and day of our wedding. He was so helpful and kind. He made our day so AMAZING! His experience was just what we needed. He was there to help make the venue look exactly how we envisioned. The day of the wedding he was there to help us with whatever we needed without hesitation. He was so involved and always there when we needed him. I have to say he has to be one of the main reasons our day was so perfect!
I feel like we were so incredibly blessed to have chosen The Oaks at Heaven to be our venue! The basis of our wedding was family, and they definitely made us feel like family. Our day was so perfect, and The Oaks at Heavenly was a huge factor in that. Our guests were so taken back by the whole day, and how beautiful the venue was.
Every time we drive by there we will always remember how magical our big day was. I hope one day we can attend a wedding there as guests, so I can experience the venue as a guest and not have to worry about doing wedding things.

When we set out to find our perfect venue, we knew we would find many beautiful locations in the Texas Hill Country, but it was Loretta and her team won our hearts. The Oaks at Heavenly [TOAH] had it all… the Rustic Charm of an outdoor ceremony, the ideal patio for cocktails & selfies and of course the perfect indoor space for our dinner and reception. But nothing was more important to us than how Loved and Respected Lorretta and her staff made us feel. Setting out to plan a same sex marriage in Texas was something we were prepared to face head on, but with the support and expert guidance of TOAH we found the best vendors to complement our wedding vision. We felt the love every step of the way and before we knew it, we were hitched! Thank you to Loretta, Autumn, Julie and the rest of the staff at The Oaks at Heavenly for making our day extra special. Almost a year later, and we are still getting raving complements of how great the venue, food and cake was! We are happy to be part of TOAH family!

I fell in love with this venue because I was going for a rustic chic look. It’s very romantically lit at night with lots of lights. Loretta and her staff were responsive and amazing, from the day I met her at the Oaks open house she let me feel like I could text her about anything I had questions about. Devin helped us iron out any kinks on the day before the wedding and I was very impressed with how well he executed everything. He was such a pleasure to work with. My only regret was not booking with them sooner. This venue and their catering company Heavenly Gourmet blew it out of the water. Thank you for making our big day so amazing.

Devon was amazing to work with and everything went smoothly. The venue itself was beautiful and the flexibility in changing the linens/table arrangements was awesome. Devon is an incredibly hard worker and The Oaks at Heavenly is lucky to have someone like him going above and beyond. Pricing was very affordable for what you get. I would highly recommend to anybody.
Thank you so much.

I am so late on posting my review, our wedding was on 11/12/2022. Originally, our wedding was supposed to be on 05/02/2021...Loretta and all of the Oaks staff have been so gracious with rescheduling due to COVID...and again because of my pregnancy! We had our rehearsal dinner and wedding at The Oaks and used Heavenly Florals and Heavenly Gourmet for both events and everything was absolutely amazing! The venue is absolutely beautiful during the daytime and the evening. The staff is readily accessible, friendly, and genuinely cares about each couple and their wishes. We could not have been happier with our choice to pick the Heavenly vendors for our wedding day.

I'm super late to post my review because I have been trying to get back on track with everyday life! ;-) My husband and I renewed our vows with our 15 year anniversary. We never had a wedding so technically this was our 1st, and I know without a doubt doing this at OAH was meant to be. As we stood outside under the gazebo we both later said it felt like we fell in love with eachother all over again. Everyone loved OAH, the staff was beyond amazing... Devin and Maddie are truly one of a kind. They are amazing souls! Everyone had a blast and I know several of my family are looking to book future events. Thank you OAH for all the memories, laughs, and good cries.

I can’t say enough great things about them here. They were so helpful when we couldn’t find a rehearsal dinner space and allowed us to rent out their gorgeous back space for the meal. The day of Mr. Devin took care of everything and Loretta even allowed my parents to come in and plant things to help it to match the color scheme. The day was more magical than I could’ve ever asked for and I feel so happy to have chosen this venue from day 1 they were so helpful!

A little late but still wanted to let you know how awesome my daughter's wedding was in December. All of our guests raved about the venue and how beautiful it is.
Loretta sold my daughter and her fiance from the moment they met her and showed them the grounds on New Year's Day of 2020 (before Covid). We planned the wedding for that December and struggled with the pandemic but the staff at the Oaks worked so well with us and we were still able to hold the event following all safety protocols. I am glad to say that everyone at the reception had a great time and no one got sick due to Covid. Everything went smoothly and according to plan - it all went so well that my daughter wants to do it again!
Continue to July, 2021 and we found out that our daughter's wedding was featured in the Texas Wedding Guide magazine and Loretta helped us again in securing a few magazines to show our family and friends. Loretta is absolutely the best and we highly, highly recommend the Oaks at Heavenly. You will not regret it!

If The Oaks at Heavenly is one of your venue options, trust me - BOOK IT! We had the absolute best experience with everyone at this venue. Our initial tour with the venue owner, Loretta, sold us! She is so genuine and excited for every couple that walks in and truly made us feel like family from the start. Madi always had great communication and answered all of my (sometimes silly) questions, while also offering great advice and opinions when we were picking our china/linens/table layout. Julie with in house floral was AMAZING! My bouquet and all table decor was just perfect. She heard my vision and then really brought it to life - thank you thank you! Devin - I never met him personally but I know he was the master behind the day of, and I can't thank him enough!
This venue is quite literally a slice of heaven! We had the best day and cannot thank everyone at The Oaks at Heavenly enough. You will NOT regret having your perfect day at this venue! And your engagement photos/bridal portraits here will come out amazing. The scenery is perfect!

What words can I use to explain how absolutely Gorgeous and PERFECT my wedding day went? I’ve been extremely blessed throughout my wedding planning, and TOAH was DEFINITELY one of those blessings. TOAH had so much to offer and did even more; it was truly worth every penny. I knew I wanted to get married at TOAH 3 years ago when I first saw it online (even though they are beautiful photos, the pictures do the chandelier NO justice). Each time I went there in person, I was both awe-struck and more certain that this is where I was meant to get married. TOAH is both beautiful in structure and character in the venue as well as its staff. Loretta has been a treat since the beginning and throughout everything. Every time we spoke she had so much enthusiasm and care in her voice, and it shined even more in person. We did reach a scare when COVID hit, but Loretta assured my mother and me that everything was going to be Safe and Fantastic for our guests; and it was! Madi was so helpful, patient, professional, informative, and over all kind. Devon was FANTASTIC; I could literally fill a whole review discussing him. Devin was on point from the moment we had an additional tour, to maintaining the venue itself, as well as its plants’ lives. No job was too big or small for him; you could tell he truly cared about the venue and that it was the best it could be at each moment. A part that truly touched my heart and shines on the compassion and care that Devin has in his work can be seen in a LIVE Facebook Video I had of my ceremony. Devin is barely seen in the corner, but as I walk up the stairs to get to the main aisle, he is seen lifting the train of my dress as I go up the stairs, then fixing it before I continue to walk down the aisle. This was in no way requested or practiced, but overall shows how willing he is to go above and beyond to make your day that much more amazing and perfect.
TOAH was everything I could have wanted and asked for in my dream wedding Venue, plus more. It is beautiful, rustic, romantic, and just… amazing. You will NOT be disappointed.
Thank you so much Loretta, Madi, Devin and everyone that helped make TOAH what it is today.
I truly had an amazing experience and the perfect wedding
Happily, Mrs. Garcia-Sanchez

I knew from my very first interaction with Loretta (via The Knot) that this was MY venue. Both the ceremony area and reception hall are absolutely beautiful!!!! But, I was clueless what it would entail to plan a wedding and had no idea of the actual cost, so Loretta was invaluable in the information she provided. She was so friendly and never made me feel like I asked a dumb question. After I booked with The Oaks, I was amazed at how they continue to enhance and improve the venue overall. Loretta and her staff (Meghan, Maddie, Julie, and Devon) are some of the most kind, delightful, and sincere people that I now consider part of my extended family. We had our wedding there on 4/24/21 and all our guests said they had a blast! Thank you Loretta and team for helping to make our day so special!!!

Wow, I don't even know where to begin! Loretta and her team were absolutely amazing from the get-go. We toured the venue in 2019 and immediately fell in love. We felt as though Loretta is the type of person that is looking out for your best interest at heart. No hidden fees, or up-selling, she was completely transparent through the whole process! As a bride on a budget this made the decision process so easy! She was also very awesome in helping us through the pandemic. Especially, ensuring that all CDC guidelines were followed - masks being worn, tables social distanced, and sanitizers everywhere.
I also have to give major props to Devin who made the day seem to go as seamless as possible!!! Everything that was promised from TOAH was delivered. I highly recommend this venue to anyone who is getting married in the near future!!

Wow! Words cannot even describe how BEAUTIFUL this venue is and I am so glad we booked The Oaks. It has an amazing hill country vibe that is just outside SA. My now husband and I viewed this venue on New Years day 2020 and Loretta was a breath of fresh air. She was extremely welcoming, super fun, and sold us. We booked the venue the next week. Leading up to our wedding, Manager Madi and Devon we top notch. They helped with all our questions w/o a hitch and let my vision come to reality. They also allowed me to use the venue for my Bridal Portraits w/o a fee and I was able to get ready there as well. We used their in house china, table, chairs, linens and it all was elegant. We had rehearsal dinner at the venue as well. They were able to accommodate our wedding party w/ catering and it was perfect. The day of the wedding was beautiful and again Devon was attentive to all our needs. The girls used the bridal suite and the grooms suite to get ready and we had fun w/ the space. We had a Catholic ceremony, left the venue, and returned to a fully lit up and set up reception. It was perfect. If you are needing a venue, I would highly recommend them. They provide 10/10 service and everyone kept raving about how beautiful it was. This place is literally EPIC!!

This venue was absolutely amazing! It was everything my husband and I wanted. Loretta, the owner, was so kind and helped us through every step of the process! She took the time to have sincere conversation each time we visited whether we just showed up or had an appointment! The staff always called us by name, which showed me they care. The effort that she and her staff put in to ensure that our wedding day was perfect and exactly what we wanted was remarkable! There were no hidden fees or surprises when in came to price or what was included in the wedding day package. If I had to redo my wedding day I would absolutely, one hundred percent choose The Oaks At Heavenly again and again!

The Oaks at Heavenly is a beautiful and spacious venue with everything you need for a perfect wedding day! Not only do they have room to accommodate large receptions inside in a beautiful space but they are also very prompt at communication and will work with you to create the exact vibe you are looking for. While there were a few communication glitches prior to the wedding I knew anytime I reached out I would get an answer to my question. You can't beat the setting or service at this venue, they are putting in the work to become one of the best in San Antonio!

I fell in LOVE with this amazing venue when I went for my tour. It was literally love at first sight. Loretta and her team did an amazing job at making sure we picked the perfect place. My vision would not have been possible had we gone elsewhere. The Oaks at Heavenly is truly a gem. My Husband had never stepped foot inside before our wedding due to being stationed in another state; however, stepping into the Oaks blew his mind beyond expectation.
I was saddened by the misty weather; however, the team at The Oaks at Heavenly were very accommodating and allowed us to make quick and fast decisions. None of our guests knew the difference and had an awesome time. I can only hope that they know grateful we are for they’re kindness and hospitality. The Oaks at Heavenly isn’t just a venue, it’s an experience.

I wish I had sufficient words to explain just how out of this world amazing this venue and it’s people are. My husband and i knew this was our venue the moment we met Loretta and walked the grounds. Loretta made us feel like family from day one. Working and bending over backwards to make our dream come true on our budget. She allowed us to have a package wedding which was the easiest process that a bride could have. She was always a text or phone call away at any time of the day. She also allowed us to have rehearsal dinner at the venue the night before the wedding and my gosh it was just gorgeous. We did in-house floral, Julie was AHMAZINGGGG. I had a vision and the outcome was tenfold what I could have ever even dreamt of. We ended up having an indoor ceremony due to ugly weather, and the turn around and transition was so seamless. My whole day and wedding process was a full dream thanks to Loretta and her team. I can’t imagine having kicked off forever with my husband anywhere else but here.

We cannot thank Loretta and her team enough for the most PERFECT night! I prayed for great weather in November and my Friday wedding decided to be way to cold and we moved inside. I was upset, but when I saw the way they flipped the venue, my sadness went away! It was gorgeous and the night went very well. The venue is beautiful, they help set up great photos and Loretta is the sweetest business owner you will ever meet. She talked to a nervous bride at 8 and 9 pm to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. If this is on your list and you love the outdoors and Texas hill country, take everything else off of your list!

WOW WOW WOW!! Loretta & her staff treat you like ROYALTY here! This is the best kept secret in Helotes, TX and I'm so grateful that Edwin and I had the opportunity to celebrate our wedding here in September. Loretta, thank you for constantly re-investing in the venue. When we booked 2 years prior to our date, we thought the venue was just perfect. 2 years later, you added so many upgrades like a Champagne Wall!! A FREAKING CHAMPAGNE WALL YALL!! *heart eyes for days*
Thank you for treating us like family and for all you do and having us!

We did experience a couple miscommunications before and the day of our wedding. One of which was regarding bartending services. Things were resolved fairly quickly and still ran smoothly but it could have easily been a huge disaster. They did provide us with napkins that weren't included in our contract for no extra charge. The water fountain, swing and champagne wall made for beautiful additions. We especially loved the lights inside the venue and outside around the trees. Overall the venue was beautiful, the weather perfect & we had a magical evening.

Thanks so much for allowing us to be a part of yours and Luke's incredibly Blessed day. ...
We apologize if our contract wasn't super clear regarding the bar, as well as bartenders. We are also grateful for resolutions, and that your wedding was everything you dreamed and more. Thank you again, and may God c continue to Bless your journey as one.

♡ The Oaks at Heavenly made our dream wedding come true! It was a perfect day! They did absolutely the most with financing options and making our day memorable with their hospitality and amazing customer service. I couldn't imagine my wedding anywhere else. We both had an amazing time! Don't forget to check out Heavenly Gourmet their sister company! Their catering was amazing as well! We had BBQ, because you know, TEXAS BRIDE! I advise you go with their signature vendors as well because once you are under their heavenly umbrella, Loretta and her team work amazingly together to pull off an incredible event. Our wedding was event of the year! I love this venue and I continue to get compliments from all my guests about the whole event! Love you Loretta and your team and the Oaks at Heavenly. ♡ ~10/24/2019 Cristina & Javier Gonzalez ~

Loretta and her team at Oaks at Heavenly made my wedding a night to remember. We had a lot of outside the box ideas and was nervous to do things very different but there was not one idea Loretta wasn’t willing to try and went above and beyond to make our dreams comes true! The things I love about Loretta is she is a no BS kind of woman which helped me trust that things would go perfect on the venues end! The price for this venue is outstanding! It’ll take your breath away! Small little touches make it extra special! We couldn’t have picked a better place to say “I Do”

Choosing the Oaks at Heavenly for our wedding venue was the BEST decision we could have made!! Loretta is amazing and made us feel like family when we first toured the venue! She was so helpful and responsive throughout the wedding planning process and we could not have asked for anything more. The venue itself is beautiful and the staff is outstanding. I cannot forget to mention Devin who made sure that our day ran so smoothly. I can’t say enough good things about the Oaks at Heavenly and its staff! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Keep up the great work! The passion you have for your business definitely shows!

The Oaks at Heavenly was the best wedding decision I could have ever made! Such a beautiful venue that is constantly adding amazing features that keep making it better and better!! Loretta is literally a GODDESS , and truly the best part about the whole venue. Since we live out of town and work a lot, our planning process was complicated she made sure to work around my schedule and accommodate us when needed. She really goes above and beyond to make your day worry and stress free!

Loretta is the kindest, most energetic, and accommodating venue owner I met along my wedding planning journey. She was one of the MANY reasons why I booked at Oaks at Heavenly. Besides the fact that we were in the beautiful hill country we couldn't possibly pass on the beautiful Swarovski chandelier, the gigantic flower wall, and the CHAMPAGNE WALL! Our guests were absolutely blown away by all this venue had to offer. They provided golf cart service not only to our elderly family members but to us as well, so we could take pictures all over the venue without having to walk in 6 inch heels. Absolutely LOVED this venue!!!

The Oaks at Heavenly was an absolute dream venue to have our wedding at. Loretta, the owner, is so professional so attentive, and just knows how the wedding business works. She will help with whatever need you have. The venue itself is gorgeous and fit all 160 of our guests for the big day. The weather in the hill country is always delightful and was great during our September wedding. There isn’t a single complaint I have about this place. We used their catering service Heavenly Gourmet for brunch the morning of, for appetizers, and then dinner and all were so yummy. We also had the late night snack option of street tacos which our guests are still ranting about. We used Julie their florists and I was absolutely stunned by her work. I told her the colors and I said make it pretty, and did she exceed my expectations. Everything about our wedding day was absolutely great, and large chunk of that was due to this venue and their workers.

When we first got engaged, we knew that we wanted to get married within 6 months and were concerned that we wouldn't be able to find a venue that we loved in such a short amount of time. We stumbled across The Oaks after a google search and realizing that it was so close by. From the moment we arrived on the site, I fell in love. As soon as we walked into the reception space I was in AWE. As much as I loved the site and space, I could not have imagined what it would turn out to look like on our wedding day. From phone calls and texts with Loretta and working with the AMAZING staff, we felt like every wish and desire was met 100%. The day was a fairy tale and the site set the mood for the entire ceremony and celebration. Our guests continue to talk about how it was such a beautiful wedding and reception, and we could not have pulled it off without Loretta and the amazing staff. I am so thankful for such an incredible experience where there were no worries about my vision coming to life. It was a blessing to work with The Oaks at Heavenly and I would recommend them 100%.

Endless thank yous go out to Loretta and her crew working the day of my wedding and leading up to it. I first fell in love with the venue through photos on their website and on theKnot.com. If pictures did it for me, imagine when I actually went out to tour the venue? Before a formal tour, I attended 2 open houses....what a stalker I was!! But I cannot describe how beautiful and breathtaking the grounds and venue are. The ambiance inside is so romantic with the rustic feel I wanted for my wedding. The setting was perfect, location was even better, and the cost to rent was the cherry on top for me! When I finally took my fiance to tour, his response to Loretta was "What dates do you have available?" We have absolutely no regrets! There is so much included in the cost of renting TOAH. Loretta really looks after her brides. She is truly one of a kind and includes so much in her package so that you can worry about a few less things. Did I mention, she also runs Heavenly Gourmet Catering? Even more perks if booked together! We booked the venue 11 months before our wedding and it was so exciting to see the constant upgrades to the grounds and Loretta is still adding more! She has a vision for her business and it is lovely to watch it come to reality. A big shout out to Devon who worked the day of my wedding and took great care of us and our guests. Also, Loretta's dear husband who drove us around on the cart to take pictures! You were so helpful getting me on and off the cart, holding my bouquet, and suggesting great spots for photos. Thank you again Loretta for your dedication and making us feel like family. Your passion for the business truly shows!

Loretta!! The gratitude and love I have for this lady is beyond words. Our wedding would not have been the same at any other venue. From the gorgeous country scenery to the outrageously beautiful flower wall, everything was perfect. I was not only able to take my bridals at the venue but was allowed to take our fur babies!! Loretta was more than supportive of having them be a part of our big day. I cannot wait to see the photos we took on site. They have so many great locations to take great pictures. Looking for a venue? Look no more!!

Stop looking and just book The Oaks at Heavenly! From our very first encounter with Loretta and our tour of their BEAUTIFUL grounds we knew this was where we wanted to say I DO! We decided to book with The Oaks before we even drove off of the property. ZERO REGRETS! Loretta and her team are so very accommodating. It is without a doubt what they live for. It felt like you had not only a gorgeous venue, but a built in wedding planner as well. Loretta gave us recommendations for several vendors, but the most important people of the day, our officiant (Pastor Jim Berrier)and our day-of coordinator (Caroline with Queen of Harts) were booked because of Loretta. Honestly, you cannot go wrong with this venue, they are meant to be in this business and they are FABULOUS!!

This is the most beautiful venue I have ever seen. We did not even need that many decorations because the venue is beautiful itself. It accommodate perfectly all of our guests at the venue.

We looked at more than ten different venues before walking into the Oaks at Heavenly and knowing instantly that it was our dream venue. From start to finish, Loretta and the Oaks at Heavenly team made the process easy and as stress free as possible.
The venue was gorgeous when we first saw it in early 2018 and it was even prettier by the time our wedding came around. They are constantly making improvements and they were flexible with any arrangement, decoration, or special request that we had.
We had more people show up than we had planned for and in less than 10 minutes they had another table with chairs, linen, and table ware setup. This is just a small example of how the staff at the venue went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was perfect.
We loved the venue so much, and it will forever hold a special place in our hearts.
