I'm Shayla Luck, previously Shayla Duncan. My parents own Big Top Rentals and they focus on larger events like marathons and car dealerships, but I was SO excited when a wedding came in and I got to help plan it. There is something about weddings, love, and romance that is so magical to me. This lead me to the life goal of owning a wedding venue that made the couples wedding day as easy and relaxing as possible. After my personal wedding and college graduation got postponed due to Covid, my family decided it was time to turn my dreams into a reality. We all work together and I couldn't have done this without them.
Hello! My name is Jordan. I was working on my Masters degree in psychology when we decided to open The Oaks. At the time, I wanted to become a high school counselor and never planned on working at The Oaks. After months of helping my father-in-law build everything from the ground up and working the first few weddings with my family, I knew this is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I never imagined in my wildest dreams that I would be running a wedding venue, but I have never been happier.
The best gift I could ever give my clients is peace of mind. The peace of mind that comes from allowing my couples to be fully present on their wedding day. My joy comes from getting to know my couples and providing them with the amazing service that they deserve at this special time.
My journey into wedding planning started years ago, as I helped my friends and family design, plan, and coordinate their weddings. This has grown into a full-time business for me, and I hold certification in Meeting and Event Planning from Cal State San Marcos. I have been the owner-operator of a wedding planning and coordination business for over 9 years. I would love to get to know you and your family, and be able to help guide you through the details on your special day.
Shayla asked if I would like to be a part of Duncan Lane as I was coordinating her wedding. I’ve been involved since before the first wedding. It’s my privledge and joy to work along side the Duncan/Luck family at the beautiful venue that they’ve created and who are as passionate about their couples as I am.
