Where do I start with Eagle Oaks?? This was the last venue we toured. My daughter and her fiancé really wanted to have their wedding down the shore. The wedding ceremony was at St. Catharine’s in Spring Lake, so we were looking at venues in the area. We weren’t thrilled with the choices. My mother’s neighbor told her about EO, so we went to check it out. Wow, what a find! I didn’t even know that it existed. It is tucked away in Farmingdale, but what a gem it is! The venue and grounds are gorgeous. My daughter got engaged in 2021 and we booked with EO that summer for a 2023 wedding. Jim O’Neil was our events manager for the first 18 months of the engagement and then Amanda DeSarno took over when Jim retired. Both were incredible. Everything was wonderful. The food was outstanding! From the cocktail hour to the dinner to dessert. The staff was so friendly and helpful. We also booked the 4 suites at the Savannah House for 2 nights. It was great to have the bridal party stay together the night before the wedding. The accommodations were top notch. I can’t say enough about EO. We are so grateful that we found them. My daughter and SIL had a beautiful wedding. A day we will never forget! Thank you EO!!

Eagle Oaks made our wedding so perfect and magical!! Amanda was in constant contact with my husband and I the whole time and answered questions quickly. Amanda and the matrie d were so invested the day of our wedding, that everything went PERFECTLY. I knew I wanted to get married at Eagle Oaks when I had my sweet 16 there many years ago. Eagle oaks made our day exactly like our vision and we couldn't have been happier!

Eagle Oaks came highly recommended to us while we were searching for a venue to host our big day. We could not have asked for anything more. From the service, to the food our expectations were far exceeded.

We met Amanda in the very beginning stages of choosing Eagle Oaks. She was there through it all to help answer any and all questions we had, and make sure we were truly settled on all ends from planning to decision making, everything. She was extremely attentive and constantly checking in to ensure there was as little stress as possible. At our final details meeting, she sat and ran through the entire night with me so we knew our wedding would be exactly what we wanted.

We met Melissa at our tasting last fall. She was amazing from the start. Her attitude was so positive, kind, and warm. My husband and I knew we would be in good hands immediately. She checked on us throughout our tasting, making sure we understood how everything would work on the big day, as well as ensuring we were happy with everything.
Fast forward to the wedding, Melissa was nothing short of amazing once again. From the very moment my bridal party and I arrived, she came in to check in on us throughout the afternoon and evening with a beaming smile every time, again ensuring everyone was happy and enjoying themselves.

My parents and I were introduced to George at our final details meeting. He too had a fantastic attitude to the point that even after only speaking with him for a few moments, I knew we would not have anything to worry or stress about.
The night of our rehearsal, George made us feel very comfortable that everything would go off without a hitch Friday evening (which it did). George spent ample time explaining to the bridal party, our families, and officiant, exactly how everything would work for the ceremony. Checking in to see if anyone had any questions or concerns, and made suggestions on how to improve aspects such as the bridal party entrance and exit so that it would look as seamless as possible. He took extra time to explain how everything else for the day would work for my husband, Chris, and I.
When we returned Friday afternoon, George promptly greeted myself, the bridal party, and my parents. He and Melissa walked us to the bridal suite and made sure we had absolutely everything we needed.
After the ceremony, George led Chris and I back to the bridal suite, making sure we had a chance to eat and have some alone time as newlyweds before the party started. All night, he was by our side making sure everything went smoothly and stayed on schedule.

Donna was also incredible. She too checked in on me in the bridal suite several times throughout the night. We had some great conversation! Just like Melissa and George, she too had a wonderful personality.

One thing I can say for certain is that Eagle Oaks has an amazing, attentive, caring and truly kind staff. Another is that the food is just absolutely beyond words, and the service is excellent. I will be recommending the venue any and every chance I get.
We could not have imagined or asked for a more beautiful special day.
