Kelsey and Sam were awesome wedding coordinators. My mom still asks about them all the time to see how they are doing. Everything ran so smoothly. The food was awesome, the venue was absolutely gorgeous and all of my family had a blast. It was a perfect night. I highly recommend the Oasis for weddings! Kelsey even put up with my dad who was on the perstering side, and she did it with a smile. Loved, loved, loved the experience, wish I could do it all over again!

My wedding reception was perfect. Kelsey was so much fun to work with and she really knew her stuff. She was helpful when I could make a decision...it can be overwhelming. Everyone loved the venue and thought it was perfect! I highly recommend The Oasis for your wedding.

Wow, what an experience! We got married at the Oasis in the Starlight Ball Room and it was absolutely the most perfect night, all thanks to our coordinator Kelsey Shipman and her staff! From day 1 Kelsey was the most helpful and kind person! She went out of her way every chance she got! We had a wedding of 215 and used both the bars in the Starlight room. The Oasis staff was on top of their game and really did a great job. They set up the tables in the Starlight room and set up all the decorations I brought for them. I even brought lights to decorate the pillars in the room and the manager Adam volunteered to put them up! The food was out of this world good! We had a plated meal of 3 different choices and I highly recommend the plated meals at the Oasis. Kelsey and her team just went above and beyond, from helping to call all my vendors to being so accommodating with all my questions. I would text Kelsey and she would answer within a few minutes and always had the best attitude no matter what my concern was. Kelsey made sure I was taken care of in the bridal suite on the day of, and made sure my husband and his groomsmen were taken care of. Kelsey was just there for everything! I'm just so impressed! The Oasis was the perfect venue for my rustic texas style wedding, and was the perfect spot for beautiful pictures! From the first day I met Kelsey to every meeting with her, every call, the decorations, the food, the bar, her staff, the wind, the chairs, a vendor of mine showing late and with the wrong person, to my groomsmen running around at the last minute trying to find the rings...Kelsey took care of everything. She even packed some cake and water to go in the car waiting for us when we left! Her staff was perfect and so was Kelsey,she really made my day THE PERFECT wedding day! I could go on and on, but not only am I impressed with The Oasis and their staff but Kelsey as a coordinator went above and beyond and was THE BEST person to work with! SO happy with Oasis

Kelsey and her team at the Oasis are just wonderful! They went above and beyond for us and operated as a top-notched catering company would. We highly recommend having your wedding at the Oasis they will take good care of you and will help out with every detail. We couldn't be happier with their services.

I had schedule with the Oasis a year before our wedding date when Beth was there, so I went through three different wedding coordinators. When I finally spoke with Kelsey it was the first time I felt comfortable with any wedding coordinator I spoke with before. She was absolutely amazing to talk with and understood any changes that needed to be made immediately. Kelsey and her team at the Oasis were fabulous to work with. I would highly recommend anyone that loves Lake Travis and has memories there to at least give the Oasis a chance. If you do not; you are definitely missing out. Kelsey, Sam, and the staff at the Oasis made our dream wedding into a reality. Nothing could have been possible if it were not for Kelsey and Sam. We love/d the Oasis and will be going back on our first Anniversary.

The Oasis was the perfect venue for our special day. The day of our wedding was very very cloudy so we didn't even get a view of the sunset that it's known for but we didn't need it. The room and staff were so great that every one of our guests enjoyed their time and we couldn't have imagined our day going any better.

We loved having our wedding reception at The Oasis! Our coordinator, Kelsey, went above and beyond helping us plan for our special event - and we planned it in just a few short months! The Bridal Room was VERY spacious, like a little apartment with a mini living room, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom with several mirrors and plenty of closet space and of course, an iron and steamer (upon request)! We had the Lakeside Terrace for our reception and they helped us fit ~65 people! The Lakeside Terrace included an indoor area seating 60+ people, plus our own private deck with gorgeous views of the lake and sunset! We brought in our own decorations for all the table center pieces the night before and Kelsey and her team added their own special touches by adding some extra mirrors and marbles to make the tables look *that* much prettier! Kelsey kept us on track the entire evening and was VERY hands-on making sure everyone was having a good time and making sure my grandmother and all the kids were comfortable and happy. The food and drinks were great, we even had a few vegetarians in which The Oasis accomodated for - and my family RAVED about how delicious it was! Kesley even made sure that our two children were able to go downstairs outside on the deck to ring the "sunset bell!" They loved it and Kesley made them feel very special! At the end of the evening, Kesley and her team packed up all our things and had our car packed and waiting for us when it was time to go. If I ever need to throw another big party, I would not hesitate to book with The Oasis again! Like all weddings, the evening went by so fast - but The Oasis made sure to make it one of the most memorable nights of our life! :)

Great view, room was beautiful, and food good. However, we didn't have a DJ and brought our own music, I highly recommend hiring a DJ since we experienced some technical difficulties. The DJ may have better sound equipment and can do announcements better than we did.

Beth is no longer the coordinator at The Oasis, she quit a month before our wedding, and no one told us until the new coordinator, Ashlee, emailed us. I must say that, in my opinion, Ashlee did not do the best job. Granted, my wedding was her first at The Oasis but she seemed to not be very knowledgable about the way weddings went there. Her assistant, Sam, seemed to do mostly everything and answered most of our questions at the meeting where we finalized all the details. Sam was great and very helpful through our whole planning.

We were married in the Starlight room and the venue and view itself are beautiful and hardly need any decorating at all. We picked The Oasis for these reasons and also for the fact that it was very reasonably priced and had such great reviews. We were also able to choose our menu and what type of alcohol we wanted served. We also thought it was very nice that they allow you to choose the colors of your linens and offer other decorations at no charge. All of these are good things about The Oasis but I unfortunately experienced a couple important bad things, as well.

To make a long story short, the linens and napkins that were put on our tables for the wedding we not the correct color that we chose. That was a detail that many brides would be very upset with.
We also chose to only have beer and wine served and the bartenders still served liqour, and lots of it. This was very upsetting to me because many people got extremely drunk and my parents were also stuck with a very large bar tab. When I wrote Ashlee an email after the wedding expressing my disappointment, I felt she was very ingenuine with her apologies and did not take much responsibility for the mistakes made. As a coordinator, I felt it should have been her job to know every detail of the wedding. She made me feel like she had little regards for how important my wedding day was.

I would advise future brides to be VERY careful in going over final contracts and to have an absolutely certain clarity for all the words used on the contract.

In response to Ashlee's response- I am sorry to say that that is a lie when you say the bar only served beer and wine after my mother brought it to their attention that we didn't want liquor served. After the cocktail HOUR was over, the bar began to charge people for some of their drinks (another thing that we did not want to happen at the wedding). However, liquor was most certainly still generously served until the end of the night. I did not say the bar tab was left open, but several of my friends and family commented to us that they did not pay for their liquor drinks, or only paid for SOME of them, as their individual tabs were very low. My parent's tab at the end of the night was very high, leading me to believe many drinks were put on their tab. Again Ashlee, you still have not taken responsibility for obviously not knowing the details of our wedding.
The Oasis responded with the following comments:
Although Liz you are correct, I was brand new to the venue this Feburary, I made it of top priority to work closely with Sam and your vendors to organize your event, and ensure all that you requested of us was indeed delivered. In my reply email to you I apologized several times for the miscommunication that clearly occured, as together we agreed on your linen color and options on your bar at your detailing meeting. Once an issue arised the night of the wedding, 20-30 minutes into the reception, the bar quickly stopped serving the limited options that the contract stated, and only served from the keg and house wine options,a s requested. The bar tab was not left open by any means. We are here to make your day exceptional, and we will continue to work hard to do so. Many of the guests and our staff commented on how great the Starlight looked and we will continue to show the pictures of the great event. I wish I could do more to show you that I am truly sorry you left with any regrets, as you were stunning and the event was beautiful. Thank you for your review. -Ashlee, Wedding Coordinator

Beth and all of her staff were amazing. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful and perfect setting to have our reception. Everything was so well organized and the food was delicious. Everyone at our reception kept telling me how much fun they had and how amazing the view was.

Absolutely perfect spot for our wedding. Beth, from The Oasis, was wonderful. She went out of her way to make sure that all of my need and the needs of my guests were taken care of. The food was delicious. Photographs with the sunset in the background were stunning. It was the perfect location for our beautful wedding.

Beth and her staff really came through for us on our wedding day. The set up was gorgeous and she really helped me, the bride, keep my head on straight all night!

Our wedding ran like clockwork and I never had to worry about a single thing!

The venue is breathtaking and the staff is top notch!

You can't get a better view in Texas. I highly recommend the Oasis.

The view was absolutely stunning! Beth was awesome. However, the food wasn't up to expectation. For some table, the chickens & steaks were cold and chewy. But overall, it was a wonderful experience, the view really made up for it.
