Re Olig Married on 05/15/2021Simply the best!
We held our wedding at the Best Western Waterfront in Oshkosh on May 15th. When the planning process started, we checked out almost a dozen different venues and this one stood out immediately! Many venues had open dates but some made it very clear they were not interested in hosting a gay wedding event. When we met with David Helgeson we knew this was the right place for our wedding. Davig was amazing to work with, he assured us they could pretty much accommodate anything we needed. During the process, we needed to go back to the venue to take some measurements, take additional photos etc and the staff was always very helpful, even during the Covid restrictions. A few weeks before the wedding, we met with David and finalized things, he had some very good suggestions about placement, food changes and bar set up. The day before the event we went to set the room up, the staff was always there to help out with things we forgot or questions we had.
Then the day of the wedding finally arrives!
Everything was set up perfectly, we started with photos taken outside by the riverfront, then moved inside for the open bar. The bartenders were the best, no one waited for a drink and the drinks were perfectly made. The plated meal was served promptly, everyone said their meals were very tasty, hot and filling. More than a few times someone from the staff would check in to make sure everything was going as planned. The entire evening was better than we could have ever imagined!
We also booked rooms for all our family members to stay at the hotel, something we wanted to be able to do for them, since many had to drive almost an hour to get here. David took care of all of the room reservations as well as making sure they all received our welcome package.
Overall this was an amazing experience and while I know there is a terrific staff working with David Helgeson, I cannot remember all of their names, but we will never forget everything they did to make our day special!
