Kindred Oaks Reviews

I chose the inclusive package offered by this wedding venue, and it covered 80% of the wedding planning. The convenience of having everything taken care of allowed me to truly enjoy my engagement while preparing for the big day. Our energy was focused on preparing for the marriage, not the details of a single event. The venue handled all the details, surpassing anything I could have done myself. From start to finish, they took my vision and brought it to life effortlessly.

Our wedding was this past weekend and I cannot thank Elaine and her staff enough for how beautiful our wedding was. The communication and assistance from the very beginning was amazing. They guided us the whole way. We did the big package and barely had to lift a finger for planning and that made a huge difference for us with 3 kids and two full time jobs. Their expertise is apparent in everything they do. I 1000% recommend them and wouldn’t change a thing!

My now wife and I recently had our wedding at Kindred Oaks and we can't recommend this place enough. Kindred Oaks was the first venue we looked at and we loved it at first visit. We did our due diligence and checked out several other locations but they didn't come close to being as special for us.

We're both pretty poor planners and were overwhelmed with the idea of planning a wedding for our ~85 guests but Elaine and her team really do make it easy. We went with their all-inclusive package which covers A LOT of the heavy lifting. For anything not included, Kindred Oaks has plenty of recommendations and will keep you accountable to make sure things are getting done.

As for the special day itself, no one wanted it to end. Our guests couldn't stop raving how beautiful the whole night was with the twinkle lights, the floral designs and the outdoor vibe in October.

5 out of 5!

This was the perfect place to get married! They have several ceremony locations and a backup in case the weather takes a turn. We got married at Lincoln Chapel (HIGHLY recommended) and had our reception under the pavilion. They even have a playground for the little ones that was a huge hit. The wooden LOVE sign is the perfect place for couples/families to take pictures and the dance floor was lit up with some beautiful hanging lights. The flow of the venue is absolutely perfect with plenty of space to eat, drink, and be married!

Venue is BEAUTIFUL. Elaine and Julie were incredible with helping to make our Wedding amazing. The venue is breathtaking and the staff was always helpful. We highly recommend stopping by for open houses to imagine/plan your special day! We did a wedding (Texas) package and it was worth every penny as they take great care in the details of what you want from a wedding as a couple! The staff guided us thru decisions and kept us on schedule. The results will live in our hearts for the rest of our lives. Josh and Kaye Happily Married 09/17/22 ❤️

My wedding at Kindred Oaks turned out absolutely perfect. Elaine and her crew were so sweet and helpful, and made sure that everything ran smoothly, from the timing to the vendor coordination.

Kindred Oaks is an amazing venue. Their packaging options make your wedding day stress free. I had heard it before our wedding but it definitely rings true when they say that you literally will feel like you are forgetting something. They take care of EVERYTHING in the Texas Package and the venue itself is gorgeous. If it rains and your ceremony is outside? No worries! They will just move it to the beautiful reception area inside! Don't like one location on the property? No worries! You can pick from one of the other multiple location options. I can't say enough about it, the open house events give you a great idea of what you can expect. The attentiveness of the staff make you feel reassured that everything is going to workout great. And the pricing to have everything done is outstanding. The flower shop is on the same property, the caterer is part of the package, the DJ can be part of the package, the day of planner is part of the package, the bartender is part of the package (although I will say that if you are the groom and have friends like mine that would like to drink in the parking lot while waiting for the ceremony, they will get on you about it. Even though all the girls are popping bottles in the dressing room, the GUYS get threatened to be cutoff of the alcohol they purchased before the event even starts.... we had ONE beer in the parking lot 4 hours before the event and got a talking to.) Other than that one gripe we had, everything is included except your choice of photographer, officiant, and the cake! Everything else is taken care of and you just pick your options! If you're like us and didn't want to have to deal with stressing over finding all the different people for your event, this is the place to go. If you do however, want to individually pick everyone you want, this is still the perfect venue to do it at! We are now the third couple we know of between work and friends who have been married here and we will definitely be recommending it to others.

Elaine and her team are absolute professionals! They have most everything covered when you book Kindred Oaks. As a bride during COVID, I didn’t want to have to worry about much of anything and if you go with this venue, your prayers are answered! The only real decisions you make on your own is finding an officiant, getting a cake and transportation really. Everything else is taken care of in the Texas Package. My wedding ran seamlessly. Elaine and her team have it down to a mad science to where the bride and groom get to really enjoy themselves and their guests. The venue itself is so romantic and having Zuzu Petals on site makes it even easier when picking out your florals. I would recommend Kindred Oaks a million times. You won’t be disappointed!

Kindred Oaks is the absolute best! The venue is incredibly well kept, has a dozen gorgeous spots for your big day, and Elaine and her team are amazing with their communication and support the whole way up to the wedding. We got married on April 24th 2021 and it was beyond perfect. They even have an onsite B&B that you can stay at if you'd like to skip the post-wedding travel. The bridal suite was perfect for our party of 6 to get ready in, and the preferred vendors that Elaine suggested were all wonderful to work with. Highly recommend!

Wedding date: 05.23.2021
My husband and I booked our venue from states away without seeing the venue in person until 2 months before our wedding. I would highly recommend this venue to all my friends and family members. Elaine and her staff are so kind and enthusiastic when handling all your wedding needs. When looking for a venue I was torn between two places and I am so happy I made the choice for KO! I am still constantly receiving compliments about the venue's beauty. I was a very frantic bride because it rained all week and on my wedding day. The rain would only stop here and there. I had to choose to risk it for the outside ceremony of my dreams or plan B. Let me tell you guys, plan B was gorgeous! I can remember walking down the aisle with my dad and hearing the rain pour on the roof. What a beautiful sound! Make sure you guys love the plan B as much as plan A! I also loved that you can rent linen from the venue, which made it less stressful. Another wonderful thing about this venue is that you really do not need a lot of décor due to the natural beauty of the venue itself. If you still are on the fence about choosing KO go for a tour! Tell them Garrett and Corybelle sent you (:

After deciding to move our wedding from a backyard event to a venue, we immediately fell in love with Kindred Oaks after making an appointment and touring the property. It was the only venue we looked at for our wedding and we knew we had picked the right spot. The day of the event was so magical. Everyone that we came into contact with from the Kindred Oaks team was so friendly, accommodating, and welcoming. With having to host so many events day in and day out, Elaine and the rest of the team made us feel like we were the only bride and groom they worked with. In addition to the wonderful people who helped us, the property itself is absolutely stunning. Our wedding truly did feel like a fairy tale. The bridal suite created the perfect environment to get ready for the big day, and all of the nature around the property created a beautiful and ethereal atmosphere. Dancing with my husband on the dance floor under the lights made me feel like I was dancing under a shower of shooting stars. I could go on and one about how wonderful this venue is. Take my word for it, this is the one to choose!

There are no words to describe the amazing treatment my family and I received. From start to finish, Elaine, Heather, Elaine's husband, THE ENTIRE STAFF was HEAVEN sent. I got married Feb 25th 2021, so yes, it was covid season. We all had the best time of our lives. That day Elaine and her staff did everything and anything you can think of to make sure everything went perfect. Honestly, I can't stretch anymore how amazing these wonderful people are. Their presence and spirit is everything!! So clean and beautiful that place was. You MUST book with them if you want a fairytale wedding. That was one of the best decisions, I've ever made. They will not disappoint. The property speaks for itself it's so beautiful! I want to get married to my husband over and over again just so we can do it there. Also take the advice from them when choosing vendors!!! The whole experience was amazing thanks to Karen and her team at Kindred Oaks!!!

This venue is amazing! The outdoor archway with a view of the river, the gorgeous green landscape, the outdoor dance floor surrounded in twinkling lights, the fireplaces in the reception hall making it feel so cozy and intimate. I highly recommend visiting this venue, because I guarantee it will take your breath away.
A beautiful venue alone, wasn't it though. Elaine and everyone else who works here worked so hard to make sure we knew everything we needed to know and answered all of our questions super fast. My wedding would not have gone as smoothly without their help and kindness

Elaine and team were so great to work with. The venue was just perfect for what we were looking for and even though we had to reschedule a little later due to COVID quarantine in place during May, our smaller June wedding was beautiful and perfect! They were easy to work with, gracious, and you can really tell they love what they do and are proud of their venue!

I love this venue and the team supporting it! The venue is gorgeous with a fabulous layout, it has a beautiful story behind it and a team that truly cares about you and your event. I highly recommend Kindred Oaks and Lincoln Chapel at Kindred Oaks!

You cannot find a more beautiful setting than Kindred Oaks for your wedding. Expansive views, several ceremony site options (each one gorgeous) including an amazing chapel, and amazing amounts of room for celebrating. And I cannot say enough about the staff and their incredibly helpful, supportive attitude and efficiency. I highly recommend Kindred Oaks for your wedding and reception! You can’t go wrong here!

We chose Kindred for our daughters wedding on March 8, 2020. Everything was beautiful - memorial - wonderful. We chose the package with BBQ and it was awesome! Working with Elaine was an added blessing, she is kind, loving, helpful and accommodating. I had no worries. Our daughter had the wedding of her dreams and we are so blessed!!

The Kindred Oaks team is great! They always stay on top of communicating back and forth with you. The venue is so unique and beautiful. I love how they offer an all inclusive package. It made the whole wedding process that much easier. They have great vendors that they recommend. I highly recommend using Kindred Oaks you will not be disappointed!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Kindred Oaks in May of 2019. Elaine and the rest of the staff were awesome! During the whole process they were reachable and responsive. My husband and I are from the Northeast so we used their all inclusive wedding package. The venue does not needing too much extra decor and is beautiful on it's own. Our special day was absolutely gorgeous and our friends and families had a blast! All of our guests raved about how the gorgeous and unique the venue was. The day of Elaine was onsite and made sure that we didn't have to worry about things going smoothly. Our whole experience was made less stressful and at the end of the day we knew we made the right decision with KO!

If I could rate Kindred Oaks higher than 5 stars, I would. I guess I'll start off with how wonderful Elaine, the owner, is. From the moment I stepped onto their property, she was so welcoming and nice. I really felt like I was home when talking with her. She not only gave me all the information I needed from day one, but sat me down and explained everything in detail. No surprises from this venue, because she explains it all. Even before we decided on Kindred Oaks, she would email me just wondering how our search was going and put no pressure on us at all. Once we decided on Kindred Oaks for our wedding of about 120 people, she and her crew there were in constant communication with me through the entire experience. I never once felt like I was planning this alone, ( I never hired a wedding planer) and felt like their crew were the unsung heroes of the night. They helped me with every little detail and kept me on schedule for all of my other vendors I was looking for as well. They helped orchestrate the rehearsal onsite the day before, and they helped the day of the wedding run so smoothly. Let's just say the day of our wedding went perfect because of them.

The next thing and a HUGE thing that I can not say enough is, THIS VENUE IS GORGEOUS!!! I fell in love with this place the moment I got there. The pictures on the website are just a little glimpse of how beautiful this place really is. Kindred Oaks has lot of land, multiple open areas for guests to walk and mingle, a giant wooden LOVE sign that is lit up at night, a beautiful wooden deck with a tree in the middle, and a pavilion with a fireplace and old wooden doors on one side. Another thing that I really liked was the kids play ground they had off to the side. Our wedding was kid friendly and that was such a plus to have that day for the kids. The inside is accommodating with a bridal and groom room to get ready in and a private honeymoon suite to end the night with. If you love the outdoors and twinkling lights on oak trees, this place is for you.

The final thing that really impressed me about the entire experience was how they had Heather with ZuZu Petals (flowers) on site for me to visit and talk about table decor, flower arrangements, bouquet... everything! It made things really easy to visualize what our wedding would look like beforehand, and that helped me feel like everything was going to look perfect. It looked more perfect that I could ever imagine. ZuZu Petals listened to me and went above and beyond with my vision.

If you are looking for a venue that has a great package deal, and is also extremely beautiful, just go to Kindred Oaks and talk to Elaine. I promise you will not regret it.

We loved Kindred Oaks so much. Right after we got engaged, we looked online found this place and set up a time to visit. When we walked on the property, it was love at first site. This is all made easier by the amazing staff at Kindred Oaks. They made the process of everything so easy and I highly recommend their packages. Our wedding was beautiful and more perfect than I could have ever imagined. We will forever love and cherish our memories at K.O.

Every time we stepped onsite, we felt like family! My wedding was beautiful and could not have been better.

Kindred Oaks was an absolutely beautiful place to have a wedding! Ours guests could not stop talking about how wonderful the venue was. The staff was simply amazing and so wonderful to work with throughout the whole process. I would recommend them to everyone I know having a wedding.

Kindred Oaks was one of those locations you feel was a special find. We had tried several vendors before and were not impressed, felt our money was not being used, and felt like just another couple in a sea of them. Then we went to Kindred Oaks open house. Changed everything. The venue itself is stunning during the day and the night. It almost needs no decoration as it is simply beautiful. Then you find out several vendors know the site and know each other, so they all work well together. Even better. You find out about the packages that make getting all the wedding details locked, paid for and completed easier. Remarkable. Finally, you meet the team. Wow. Truly wonderful folks who love what they do and take pride in bringing couples together. Really loves all of it. I would recommend this location to everyone. HOneslty, attend the open house and you will fall in love. It is fantastic.

Kindred Oaks and Family by far made our big day incredibly special!! From the moment we first sat with Elaine and Steve we felt completely welcome. I began planning in June for our November wedding and their All Inclusive package made planning my wedding in less than 6 months not only possible but amazing! They were always very fast at responding to my questions and concerns and walking me through the processes. I loved the fact that all of the vendors they work with are like one big family so you won't have to worry about one vendor stepping on another's toes, they are all one team working to make your day perfect! I would love to name everyone there on my wedding day by name but I wouldn't want to leave anyone out as they were all so wonderful, from greeting us as soon as we pulled up to seeing us to our beautiful Honeymoon Suite once everyone was gone.

The grounds are absolutely picturesque, there were so many places to take amazing portraits. It is just magical at night with all the lights twinkling and chandeliers hanging in the reception areas. We continue to get compliments from our guests about how beautiful everything was. The only complaint anyone had was not by fault of the venue; some guests were caught off guard by being asked to leave the grounds when the get away was over but I didn't explain to them how that would all work. We explained to them that they were just trying to get us settled in to enjoy our wedding night together! (Not to mention none of us know what it's like to get somewhat intoxicated party goers on their way at the end of the night) As long as you explain the rules to your guests there will be no surprises.

Wrapping up our time at Kindred Oaks was a wonderful breakfast in the morning and some time to enjoy the grounds in the morning. So peaceful and beautiful. We also enjoyed the cute kitties that live on the property :) Thank you so much Kindred Oaks for such an amazing experience we will remember forever.
