The mistakes weren't spelling, they were incorrect guest counts, wrong liquors, wrong meals, etc. I was very disappointed with the quality of her performance.

the food was delicious, they have a great Women's Locker room for getting ready with the bridesmaids, and scenery (even though it was gloomy and rainy and the ceremony was supposed to be outside!) was fantastic.

anner and food and service director. When in person, they were very nice, friendly and efficient, but if it was over phone or e-mail I found them to be very distant and hard to contact. We also had to hound them for our final invoice, received it the day before the wedding, and then due to their own mathematical error, we received a new one halfway through our reception. We got a great discount on the room rental due to having a Friday wedding, and overall it was a great choice, but be prepared to fight for attention if you're not sitting down with them in person.

lar and guests went on and on about the cake after the wedding. However, we did have some difficulties with the service the day of. When we first booked T.Oaks our coordinator was Leah, she was great - always helpful with all of my questions, never took more than a day to respond. Unfortunately, a month before our wedding she moved and was replaced with Kristin who, maybe was just too new at the job then, but was really not up to par. She took way too long to answer questions - wasn't really around on the day of the wedding to help out (when she assured us she would be), she floated in and out during the day, we had no way of contacting her if something came up - we'd have to wander around and just hope we found her. We relied on her for the most important details during our special day (like making sure our string organists at the ceremony actually played the Bridal March as I entered the tent, which didn't happen until I was more than 1/2 way done with my walk) Overall- We are happy with our choice- the pictures turned out beautifully and the ceremony was wonderful.

oothly as it could have. Jessica and Lori from Thousand Oaks were so easy to work with and made sure our wedding was everything we imagined it'd be. We did not, however, have the cake. We had an outside baker bring the cake in because we did not like the cake when we tasted it prior. The ONLY downfall was that they mandatory charge over $1 per person to have the cake cut. Other than that, it was absolutely perfect! I can't count how many compliments we got on the food. And the price is very reasonable!!

edding ceremony going on at the same time as ours on the golf course, so we requests for champagne in the dressing room and things like that were flat out ignored. We were told (and we paid) for the cart path to be closed off during the ceremony, and later guests told us that a golf cart drove past during the wedding. Also, we chose an untraditional selection of hors d'oeuvres, and they (as well as the late night snacks) were tucked into corners, so many guests didn’t see them. We did not do that great of a job picking up after the ceremony, so the staff packed up for us. Unfortunately some of our decorations we left were missing when we came back for them. Other wedding parties have access to the closet in the reception room, and no lockers were provided for the wedding party (lockers were promised when we signed the deposit, but we did not get this is writing and according to our coordinator too many keys were lost/stolen so they ended that policy). Overall- I am thrilled with our choice- the pictures are beautiful and the ceremony (outside) was flawless. Also the coordinator was always courteous and helpful despite my million questions leading up to the wedding day. I would recommend that you stay organized the day of, or hire a separate wedding coordinator, as you can not be sure that you will be the only bride they are attending to.
