The absolute best!

I cannot imagine my wedding taking place anywhere besides Southern Oaks!

I opted to do the package with them which included catering, bar tending staff, chairs for both ceremony and reception, so much beautiful decor, and so so so much more. For this reason, and so many other reasons, my wedding planning process and wedding day were so stress free and relaxing. Being a very hands on person, it was AMAZING to sit back and relax and trust that every detail was being tended to.

Pam and Bre- you guys are amazing and I cannot thank you enough! Your expertise made my wedding what it was without a doubt!
Damien, thank you for coordinating our wedding day! It all ran so smoothly and we felt taken care of all day long!

All of the time, effort, and genuine care the entire team at Southern Oaks puts in for each bride from start to finish, including me, is another reason I highly recommend this venue.

Thank you Pam, Bre, Damien, and the rest of the team at Southern Oaks. There isn’t anyone else we would’ve trusted with our wedding 😊

Memories to be

We took a tour of Southern Oaks a few weeks back and we couldn’t have found a more perfect venue. I have always visioned being wedded under a large oak tree on an open lawn and that’s exactly what was offered! Our date is set for November 2, 2024 which comes to a surprise for some family and friends since it’s not exactly right around the corner, but the wait does not matter to us. For I am certain that this is where I want our memories to be made.
