Seamless process & execution

Our wedding with White Oak was SO easy to plan, even from a distance! We worked with Jordan who might as well have been our wedding planner, she was fantastic! The staff, as well as the actual grounds & venue, were exceptional and so perfect for our day. It was beautiful, easy, and I would definitely recommend them!

Beautiful place, food was excellent, but execution of service night of wedding was lacking

Upfront planning was great. Loved the venue and food. Overall planning coordinator was professional, however she wasn't there for event and other staff at event did not match her professionalism. Night of the wedding service was sparse. Staff refused to place welcome sign where I asked and argued that it needed to be elsewhere. I specifically stated where to place it near the door, then later found they had placed it where they wanted it. Cake didn't get served timely-came home with entire cake it seems. Lacked responsiveness when asked to serve guests, worker focused on preparing "go-boxes" rather than guests waiting for cake to be served. Not enough staff to get the job done it seemed. Lots of people came but so much food left over that we paid for and wanted to take home but were given 2 small plates with tiny samples of food. Later told couldn't send home due to "food safety" yet we were given go plates...?

The Perfect Venue to Start Our Beginning to Forever

We absolutely loved this place. Everyone was so available and willing to help us with any need we may have had. Jordan was awesome from start to finish with helping plan and organize even through the pandemic. Alexa stepped in and assisted in every way that she could to make sure that any decor and fixtures were set up and placed where they needed to be. The scenery was so beautiful at this venue, we didn't have to do much to decorate. Actually, we only had to bring the bare minimum because it was naturally beautiful. We loved it here. Food was delicious and everything we imagined it to be.
