    Awesome venue and super responsive

    I met with Taylor at 12 Oaks in early June and she has been super responsive to every question I had. She took me on a tour of the venue, showed me various locations within the property where I could have my wedding and explained the process to me. She's also been very patient with the back and forth on the contract terms, suggesting catering options and the like.

    The club house at 12 oaks is beautiful, and included in the price is the location for the ceremony, set up, food, a dance floor... very little additional I need to worry about.

    Wedding Luncheon!

    We had our sons wedding luncheon here and it was a dream to work with Victoria Musselwhite. Due to Covid the reception had to be cancelled and so we looked for a venue that could accommodate a wedding luncheon for both family and close friends and stay within the guidelines. Victoria made sure everything was perfect. The food was delicious. The staff was attentive. I would recommend it as a venue for any occasion.

    Perfect if you can have gluten

    Taylor was the Absolute Best to work with! She was very responsive and answered all mine, my moms, and mother in laws questions without making us feel needy! The food was amazing (for those that can eat gluten) and all our guests had a great time. Our only complaint was that I can’t eat gluten and was told that my meals would be safe and not to worry. I did end up getting sick at my wedding which was upsetting on an otherwise perfect night. If you have celiac or have guests with it I would recommend warning them or preparing your own meal to bring.

    Perfect Wedding Venue!

    The Club at 12 Oaks was the perfect wedding location! The space for outdoor options, indoor options are endless and you can make it what you want! The beautiful covered back porch, patio with market lights, huge fire pit, the beautiful landscape, the indoor space - all of it is so beautiful! Due to Covid-19 our original venue did not work out, the club at 12 oaks had some really amazing packages to pick from to still have our special day. Unfortunately there was a change in coordinator the week before the wedding, but the new coordinator Emery did an amazing job figuring it all out so last minute. There were minor bumps in the food situation (dietary concerns, kids meals, and vendor meals). The food itself was amazing, and everyone really enjoyed their meals. They helped make our day happen and had restrictions in place that were mandated from the state. The bartender Summer was BEYOND amazing, everyone that met her loved her she really was a rockstar! We had a really fabulous wedding, and everything we had ever dreamed of for our big day. Thank you to everyone at this venue that made our day possible! I would 100% recommend this venue to any brides looking for a beautiful venue!

    Dissapointed customer.

    My wife and I had a wedding at the club on September 21, 2019, and we weren't happy about how things turned out and we were very disappointed.

    The club at 12 Oaks is a beautiful venue and we were very excited to pick it to celebrate our wedding with family and friends.

    Many of the things we had agreed upon in writing and orally were not honored. We were instead patronized that we didn't understand the American culture on what service meant. We are proud US citizens and we understand the American culture. We reached out to the manager, Gil Cote, and the catering director, Taylor Hayden to share our experience. The manager asked us our availability to meet which we provided but they never got back to us. We kept reaching out but we were ignored.

    Below are the issues:

    1. The reception was delayed: The A/C unit wasn't tested and didn't work when it was supposed to. It had to be worked on at the venue while guests were waiting. We asked several times to test it and they refused and they had to call a technician at the last minute which delayed our reception, and people had to stay outside and it was extremely hot. The chairs weren't cleaned and they were cleaned at the last minute after being told to do so. The head table was supposed to have four chairs (bride, groom, maid of honor and best man). Only two chairs were provided (bride and groom)

    2. The venue had allowed the caterer to use the grill but they were denied to use it on the wedding day. They had to talk to the manager to allow them to continue which affected the flow of food.

    3. Running out of plates. And it took them forever to bring more plates.

    4. The caterer was told to put food at 7 pm but dinner started at 7:40 which effected the goat and it was cold.

    5. Serving the drinks. We had paid a service fee which included servers to serve drinks at guest tables. I had a meeting on Friday night before the wedding with the operations manager and Taylor and they agreed to provide servers who would serve guests at their tables but servers weren't provided.

    6. Salad plates weren't provided even though it was agreed upon. The same was spoken about our meeting on Friday night.

    7. The initial agreement was to put the buffet inside the tent but we were advised to have the buffet outside which we were ok with and the buffet area was dark and it was had to direct people where food was served.

    8. Clean up: They also didn't clean up tables and the caterer had to use his staff to clean.

    It is a shame that such a beautiful venue can provide such a terrible service. The feedback doesn't come just from us but our vendors.

    1. Ceremony timing off due to A/C

    Hi Taylor,
    The A/C unit pricing is high. We would like to go with fans. Do you have a vendor we can rent fans from or rent through you(12oaks)?
    Thanks,
    Albert.

    Above is the emailing confirming that the customer opted for fans rather than rental of the A/C – A/C was only an option due to the club providing it. The A/C had been tested the day before by our Head Superintendent Andy and was working, the issue day of was not something that could have been prevented.

    Timing delay was due to wedding party not on site at the right time.

    Chairs were cleaned during what should have been ceremony time which is a part of set-up which is not promised to be 100% done until 2 hours prior to entering space. Timing for this was delayed due to decorator delay.

    Hi
    rectangle chauffing are perfect
    And can I come a day before? Because I would bring a grill and some small setups if that is ok.
    And what time can I come in on the 21st

    Above is an email from catering confirming his knowledge of bringing his own grill and needs for day- of.

    3. Plates

    Hi Taylor
    This is kaid from baba ghannouj restaurant.
    Just confirming a couple of things
    1- Appetizers will be outside the tent, I will need 2 tables 6 feet each
    2- We will have the chocolate fountain inside the tent and we will need one table at least 6 feet. And electricity to run the chocolate fountain.
    3 - I will need 4 chafing dishes on each buffet table table for dinner.
    4- 2 small tables to serve as a carving station at the end of each buffet line.
    5- appetizer plates. Dessert plates. Chocolate fountain plates. All small plates.
    6- one chaffing dish for the appetizers.
    7- one table inside tent for drink station
    8- one table for dessert inside tent.

    Email above confirming from caterer that he only needed small plates. Venue was not aware until day of that we would be providing ALL plates.

    4. Timing from caterer
    I was in contact with the ‘wedding designer’ and other family members asking when dinner would be served to keep caterer informed. He was told 7pm from multiple sources and kept his timing. Clients were made aware the day before dinner would need to start promptly for lighting and freshness.
    5. Serving drinks
    The conversation the day before and what was agreed upon was the staff provided by 12 Oaks would preform beverage service for as long as the open bar tab was still available. Unfortunately, the pre-paid tab of 2,000 ended before cocktail hour was over. Furthermore, the sodas provided by outside caterer were 2-liter bottles and not cans for easy service. The caterer also had plastic cups to serve from which our staff was told was unacceptable. Family and friends from wedding party started serving themselves from 2 liters before discussing with staff.
    6. Salad plates
    Again, this was something discussed night before. However, caterer did not have the appropriate items or time to do so when they arrived on site day of – this was a decision made by both parties the day before and confirmed day of.
    7. Food service outside
    Was confirmed day before and timing was not off due to anything related to venue. Keeping to timeline is a direct responsibility of wedding director which was chosen to be an outside source – clients did not utilize Taylor (on-site coordinator)
    8. Clean-up
    Help was offered by caterer – not done for by caterer. Our staff was on the floor 100% of the evening for clearing – caterers did help after they were done serving their desserts.
