I had always wanted to get married at Five Oaks Lodge even though I had only ever seen pictures of it. While venue shopping some of the more affordable options (or the ones who initially seem more affordable) were already booked or didn't quite "wow" us. The initial sticker shock was a little overwhelming, I'll admit, but after we crunched the numbers between choosing Five Oaks and having almost everything included or a venue that only provided a shell and we'd be responsible for all rentals and catering there was NO price difference! The choice was obvious. I literally cannot say enough amazing things about Five Oaks and Nicole! The venue itself is gorgeous, it requires very little (if any) decorations. The deck is amazing! The reception was so beautiful...it was even better than my vision of it. They set up and tear down all of the tables, place settings, chairs...etc. The only things we needed to set up were the things we brought and Nicole busted her butt helping us set up my decorations (which was unexpected and much appreciated and honestly the only reason everything got set up in time). The food!! Oh gosh, the food. We've been to a lot of weddings...and I mean a LOT. Hands down the best food we've ever had at a wedding and I'm not just saying that. Every person at our wedding raved about the food and wanted the recipes. The Mac and Cheese! Nicole was amazing. She is GREAT at her job. She listened to what I wanted as I tried to explain my vision and she absolutely delivered. The girl knows weddings. All of the staff, servers, and bartenders were awesome, too! They made sure my husband and I got a full plate of food and that we always had a drink in our hand. They even cut and served the cake for us. We are so incredibly happy with how our ceremony and reception turned out. Five Oaks was completely worth the money and if we had to do it again we'd do it all the same! Thank you Nicole, Randy, and the staff for making our big day absolutely amazing!!

Five Oaks was absolutely beautiful and Nicole, the coordinator was extremely helpful and on the ball- they did the catering, and everyone LOVED the food. she was very flexible with what we wanted. I would reccommend this venue to EVERYONE.

Would recommend Five Oaks to anyone looking for a wedding reception. Nicole went up and beyond to make our daughter's wedding reception the most beautiful it could be. Nicole was so helpful with any ideas we had. All the staff was so friendly and helpful during the reception. Had so many compliments how delicious the food was. Can't say enough how wonderful this venue is.
