From the very beginning of our wedding planning journey, we knew hosting a wedding from out of state could come with its challenges. We were nervous about the distance, the logistics, and the countless details that need to come together to make a wedding day seamless. What we could not have anticipated, however, was just how incredible the team at The Oakley would be every single step of the way. To say they exceeded our expectations is an understatement—our experience with this venue and its staff was nothing short of extraordinary.

From our our first visit, we were blown away by how beautiful the venue was, how well maintained and manicured every part of the property was. Alicia was incredible from the start and had an answer for all of our questions and immediately eased our minds and put many of our worries at ease. The entire staff was accommodating, cooperative, and truly invested in making our day everything we envisioned. They were patient and understanding when we had questions or concerns, and they offered helpful guidance when we weren’t quite sure what direction to take. Every single member of the team—from the owners to the coordinators, from the bar staff to everyone working behind the scenes—demonstrated genuine care, professionalism, and dedication.

A special mention must go to Alicia, who was nothing short of phenomenal. Her level of detail, thoughtfulness, and organization is unmatched. She had contingency plans for every possible scenario and made sure that we always felt reassured and confident, even when nerves set in. Her ability to anticipate needs, communicate clearly, and execute flawlessly was one of the biggest reasons we felt so at ease in the days leading up to the wedding. Knowing she was overseeing everything allowed us to focus on what truly mattered—celebrating the most important day of our lives.

On the wedding day itself, everything came together more beautifully than we could have ever imagined. The venue looked stunning, the flow of the day was seamless, and every small detail was handled with such care that it felt as though our vision had come to life effortlessly. Guests raved about the atmosphere, the service, and the warmth of the staff. From the ceremony to the reception, and even during the final moments of the evening, the team was attentive, kind, and always ready to go the extra mile.

Looking back, we can honestly say that our wedding day was not only everything we imagined, but even more magical than we could have hoped for—and that is largely thanks to The Oakley, Alicia, Allyson, Ken and Cathy, and rest of the remarkable team. We feel so grateful to have chosen this venue and these people to be part of our celebration. The only complaint we walked away with after our big day, is that we cannot do it over and over again!

For anyone considering hosting their wedding or special event here, know that you will be in the best of hands.

Can’t say enough amazing things. Property, staff - it was the best day ever

The Oakley is literally a dream! My husband and I just got married on 08/03 and we couldn’t have asked for a better venue! Not only is the venue absolutely breathtaking but the owners, and the coordinators were so amazing! They made the day run so smooth, and were very communicative! I cannot recommend them enough!!
Thank you Oakley Fam!

I wish everybody could have a wedding experience like we did at the Oakley. I seriously cannot stress that enough. It was such an incredible experience and we are still in shock at how seamless and perfect everything went. You will not get the hospitality, customer service, thoroughness, organization, or dedication from any other team that you work with. My husband and I toured the Oakley 2+ years before our wedding. On our tour, Alicia welcomed us with open arms, sat us down, made us feel comfortable, went through everything with us, and never pressured us to make a decision. When walked out that day, we both looked at eachother and knew we wanted to get married there and sent our deposit in. From that moment, Alicia became more than a venue coordinator to us. She became a friend. We exchanged hundreds to thousands (literally) of emails and she was always happy and timely to respond to all of our questions. She was extremely organized with all of our ideas and plans and had everything laid out for us. She had every detail set and made wedding planning so easy. We truly felt so at ease. The weekend of the wedding, everything went absolutely perfect. The Oakley Bar was great to work with for our alcohol, everything was organized and we had them handle everything - there was no stress! The Oakley is a family owned venue and that speaks volumes. Everything on the property was immaculate and perfect. The staff was incredibly sweet, family oriented, and made sure everything was just how we envisioned. You even build a relationship with the owners of the property! Our wedding guests continue to tell us how beautiful the property was and how they have never been to a wedding where the staff was so welcoming and involved and just how the venue is truly one of a kind. Not to mention, everything is right on site in one place. The ceremony space, greenhouse and courtyard for cocktail hour, bridal suite, reception area, and hundreds of different beautiful, timeless, and breathtaking areas for photos - the Oakley is truly a one stop stop! You have to see it for yourself! I truly wish everybody could get an opportunity to experience their wedding day with a team like at the Oakley. I cannot recommend this venue enough. If you are considering the Oakley, they will give you an experience that will make your wedding day or event as perfect and magical as you dream of it to be.

I cannot express enough how incredible our experience was with The Oakley and our coordinator, Alicia.
The tour day, and our wedding day truly felt like a fairy tale come to life. Everything was seamless, just as Alicia promised from day one. We were able to rent the horse carriage and it made it feel even more like a fairy tale.

Choosing The Oakley and working with Alicia was undoubtedly the best decision we made in our wedding planning journey.

The Oakley is an amazing wedding venue, not only is it gorgeous, the staff are truly wonderful. Our wedding truly went so smoothly and that was all thanks to the Oakley staff that were there to help us every step of the way.

We booked the Oakley without even seeing it in person, that’s how good they are. My fiancé and I were living out of state when we were planning our Michigan wedding. Our parents went to visit the Oakley for us and basically told us it was the perfect venue and we would be crazy not to book it. Well, they were right. The second we started talking to Alicia over the phone, I knew this was the place I wanted to get married. Not only was she extremely professional, she also felt like someone we knew for years. You’re not just another wedding at the Oakley, you’re family. We spent 2 years planning our wedding and Alicia was always there for questions big and small, vendor recommendations, and support to help guide us through the planning process. The Oakley truly allows you to plan your perfect day down to each custom detail. Even the bar staff work one on one with you to create signature cocktails, and allow each couple to choose what specific alcohol you want on your big day. Not many venues allow you this much choice. Not only are the staff amazing, the venue space offers so much flexibility. Each couple has access to the venue from Friday to Sunday so you can really enjoy your day on Saturday without the stress of set up and tear down. Not only that, the grounds are amazingly tranquil and dreamy. So many of our guests were stunned at this private hidden gem. There are so many different spaces to utilize. We had our rehearsal dinner in the greenhouse on Friday night. We used the same space for a sunny cocktail hour on the patio. The reception space is a perfect modern but classic blank slate for whatever wedding vision you have. I can’t thank Alicia and the rest of the Oakley staff enough. We felt cared for, heard, supported, and loved from the moment we booked them. I already miss the Oakley team and wish we could do it all over again!

The PEFECT venue! I can not stress enough how perfect my wedding day was because of this venue, Alicia and everyone else involved. Alicia puts her heart and soul into your wedding and helps everything come together in the best way. Everything about this venue is amazing, the views, the reception building, the courtyard, the greenhouse, the horses and so much more. I could not imagine getting married anywhere else.

If you’re looking for a unique and beautiful wedding venue, this is the spot! Our wedding was July 29 2023 and I can honestly say the whole day was absolutely perfect. The venue coordinator, Alicia, was so knowledgeable throughout the process and made sure everything was executed perfectly. From the first time we toured the venue to the day of our wedding she was there for any questions that we had. Wedding planning can be so overwhelming, but Alicia and her team made it easy and seamless. We had access to the venue starting the Friday before until the Sunday after. What I loved about The Oakley was that they only do one wedding a weekend so you are their priority for the whole weekend. The property itself is well kept and expansive. All of our guests raved about how beautiful it was.

Thank you Oakley team for helping us with the most perfect day that we will never forget!

The Oakley allows for plenty of people without it being crowded. It is such a beautiful venue inside and out! So many good picture spots and each wedding can be one of a kind!!
