My wife and I decided to have our wedding at The Oscar Event Center a little over a year before the big day. While we absolutely loved the impressive aesthetics and the formal-but-fun vibe of the space, these aspects aren’t what set OEC apart from the rest of the venues we looked at.
From our first meeting with Dianna, the event planner, we were treated with courtesy, extra-sharp professionalism and an acute knowledge of the space. She was our sole contact until the wedding, and she took the time to work with us individually through a number of meetings to customize and perfect the vision we had for our big day. When we were stumped with how to handle issues, we ended up using her suggestions for a number of choices and couldn’t be happier about it. Most incredibly, her responses to our emails, which were basically just large lists of questions, always came back much faster than we ever expected. We never felt overwhelmed, lost or alone in the planning process – frankly, we are still thrilled to have had such a phenomenal worker and consummate professional help us plan our wedding.
The day of the wedding, our decorations and requests were perfectly executed and the space looked better than we even imagined. Dianna introduced us to the banquet team and manager, who would take care of our food and drinks throughout the night. The OEC banquet and bar crew performed incredibly for the entire evening, without exception. As far as the food itself, our appetizers and our main course were all perfect. (I highly suggest attending one of the tasting evenings that OEC hosts throughout the year – you will not regret it). The entire wedding party, especially my wife and I, received nothing short of white-glove service from the staff throughout the evening, and wanted for absolutely nothing. We weren’t the only ones impressed either – we have received many compliments from our guests about the attentiveness and courtesy of the staff, as well as the five-star quality of the food and drink. And even when we had a few boisterous guests at the bar near the end of the evening, the staff handled them with impressive professionalism and grace.
My wife and I couldn’t be happier with choosing OEC to host the biggest event of our lives. We will never forget the experience, and I cannot recommend the venue, or the staff that makes it so incredible, enough.
