Tall Oaks Resort

I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding venue than Tall Oaks! Everyone was so easy to work with, the food was amazing and having the Carriage House next door for my guests was so convenient & fun! The Carriage House is definitely one of the perks that made this venue stand out compared to the rest. Tall Oaks staff really made the day run so smooth by meeting with us consistently and always being available for questions during the planning process. I highly recommend booking your wedding here!

Tall Oaks is a beautiful wedding venue and was very accomodating! The food was excellent and the Carriage House allowed our guests to stay overnight. Highly recommended!

Tall Oaks was amazing! All of our family and friends could not say enough positive things about the venue and the food. We loved the staff and how helpful they were with our planning.

Unfortunately, we cannot recommend Tall Oaks to any couple looking for a respectful, accommodating, or professional venue. What should have been a joyful and memorable occasion was instead marred by a string of unacceptable behaviors and poor management choices from this family-owned business.

From the outset, communication with Melissa and Emily was difficult, inconsistent, and often unprofessional. Emails went unanswered, questions were met with defensiveness, and basic requests were routinely shut down with vague or arbitrary reasoning. Rather than feeling supported, we often felt like an inconvenience.

One of the most troubling aspects was a pricing change after our contract was signed, with no connection to inflation or market rates. This felt like a classic bait-and-switch, and when we raised concerns, we were met with stonewalling—particularly from Emily.

On the day itself, the lack of professionalism extended to our guests, who were rudely treated. Multiple guests were yelled at for requesting water before the ceremony, and others were snapped at and told to be quiet and move during cocktail hour. This type of treatment is not only inhospitable—it’s downright disrespectful.

The venue also restricted our florist and photographers, creating unnecessary stress and hindering their ability to do their jobs. Set up requirements for our florist were completely ignored despite being charged $500 extra set up fee. After the ceremony, photographers were told they could no longer shoot, despite having access as part of our contracted agreement.

To make matters worse, teardown began before our midnight end time, cutting the celebration short and violating the terms of our agreement.

But perhaps most alarming of all was the venue’s complete disregard for documented food allergies. Guests with celiac disease were served gluten and then told to “just pick it off” or “don’t eat it.” This behavior isn’t just careless—it’s dangerous and offensive.

Sadly, we have no positive feedback to share. What Tall Oaks lacks in charm, they make up for in restriction, rudeness, and a stunning lack of professionalism. We sincerely hope others can avoid the stress and disappointment we endured. This venue simply does not meet even the most basic standards of service.
