    Best wedding day, thanks to Pond Oaks!

    Pond Oaks was the first wedding venue that my now husband and I viewed when planning our wedding, after meeting with Caylee and talking with Jennifer we knew that it was the venue for us. Caylee and Jennifer made the entire planning process easy, and they were there every step of the way to answer any questions that we had. Our wedding day was amazing and Caylee and Jennifer worked their magic and made our vision come to life. We could not have asked for a better experience and recommend Pond Oaks to anyone looking for an outdoor wedding venue, you will not be disappointed!

    Under the Oaks: Where Dreams Became Reality

    While I never envisioned a specific location for my wedding, this venue surpassed any dream I could have imagined. Nestled under enchanting oak trees, it offered a fairytale-like atmosphere that made marrying my best friend even more magical.

    The months of planning with this family-owned venue played an invaluable role. Their meticulous attention to detail ensured a day overflowing with joy and laughter. They share an impressive network of vendors, and their staff's kindness and dedication extended well beyond expectations.

    I am deeply grateful for the incredible day and support this venue provided. Sharing their business with anyone who inquires about our special day brings immense joy. In fact, I envision returning for future milestone celebrations!

    Dream wedding!

    Pond Oaks was truly a dream. The staff was just super sweet. The coordinators were amazing and we felt like we were treated like family and they were extremely flexible and understanding and wanted to make sure that everything was taken care of so that it was no stress. If I had the choice to do it again, I would definitely go with Pond Oaks again.

    Amazing from start to finish

    Pond oaks is the most beautiful and magical outdoor venue tucked away in the mountains. The venue is right off the main highway but once you are inside you feel like you are completely secluded somewhere far away. Jennifer and Caylee were amazing to work with from start to finish. They are very flexible and just so sweet, you will feel welcomed right away.

    A huge plus is that the venue includes catering in the packages leaving the bride/groom with less stress on trying to source vendors. There are many different food options to choose from and the bakery they use is amazing as well.

    The way they present and decorate the venue is so beautiful and creative. I am a type A personality and wanted things to be done/look a certain way; with Jennifer and Caylee in charge I didn’t feel the need to be super specific with my vision. I knew we were on the same page the whole time. Caylee does the florals for the events and her work is incredible and once again, exactly what I was looking for. Our day, 10/6/23 was so beautiful with all the fall vibes. We got so many compliments from all our guests. Many said it was the most beautiful wedding venue they’ve ever been to!

    All in all the value of what you get for your money at Pond Oaks compared to other venues is incredible. It’s beautiful and affordable! We would recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding or other special event venue. Thank you Jennifer and Caylee!!

    Pond Oaks by Mountain Meadow Events's reply:

    Carly, thank you SO much! Your feedback is so appreciated and it was so exciting to plan your wedding with you! We truly enjoy what we do and love to be able to share it with you, your family & your friends! We pray for all of the blessings, joy and adventures in your marriage!

    With love,
    The Pond Oaks Family!

    Magical rainy wedding day

    We are beyond happy with our choice to go with Pond Oaks as our wedding venue. From start to finish everything was easy and very convenient. Pond Oaks has amazing packages which take care of pretty much everything! They offer add-ons to packages as well. We added in Hook-ups Events Mobile Trailer Photo-booth. With that and the most perfect mountain setting they were perfect for our day. On our wedding we did not plan for rain, there was no rain the in forecast at all and Pond Oaks jumped into action and provided us with comfort and reassurance that our day would still be happening. Things were shifted and tents were brought it for our guest and everything worked out perfectly. Our guest still rave about how amazing all the event staff was in keeping everyone dry and how delicious all the food and drinks were. Our perfect rainy wedding day went off without a hitch because of Jennifer and Caylee and their amazing team at Pond Oaks.

    Shipcott Wedding 🤍

    My Husband and I hold a special place in our hearts for Mt.Baldy as this mountain started our beginning together 6 years ago! Without hesitation we knew Pond Oaks would be the most perfect venue to say “I Do”. We set our wedding date for 11.05.22 and never looked back!

    Everything about this beautiful “all inclusive” wedding venue was a dream come true!! Planning our wedding here was one of the most easiest and fun thing we’ve ever done! The dream team working with Jen and Caylee was nothing but amazing and we had so much trust in them in every aspect of our wedding!

    We are thankful and so happy with the beautiful floral that caylee had worked so hard making for us! Every single detail down to the champagne entrance, beautiful decor that they nailed perfectly, amazing food vendor, we LOVED our cake, the sweetest bartender that kept our glasses filled! , poppin’ DJ that we had so many excited guests with the music all night long! We are SO thankful for everyone of the staff who pulled this beautiful day off!!

    We believe that the Lord has blessed the Mitchell and Chapman family with His trust to put together His dream for His children to become one.

    Forever;
    Thank you to the Friends who became Family 🤍

    Best night wver

    Pond Oaks gave me a wedding night that I will never forget. My friends and family loved the venue and we’re blown away with the details and atmosphere. Jennifer and her whole team where AMAZING, they were so helpful throughout the entire process and really made it easy for me as the bride. Pond Oaks is a great way to have a stress free wedding planning experience. I would recommend this venue to anyone as they were detail oriented and so friendly and easy to work with.

    Our Dream Winter Wedding

    Pond Oaks and the Mountain Meadows Event team are an absolute dream. Initially we were looking for more of a formal (or expected) style of venue (golf course, vineyard, etc.), but were referred by a family member to check out Pond Oaks.

    I honestly thought I'd have to give quite a few concessions to convince my bride-to-be to agree to a mountain wedding. She instantly fell in love with the atmosphere, the venue and it's proprietors, Jen/Caylee. They put our minds at ease with their knowledge of the industry, their willingness to accommodate us with some of the ideas we had and their guidance on areas we honestly hadn't even thought about.

    Jen and Caylee go far above and beyond what is expected (cliche, I know); not once during our wedding did we ever feel like there were any loose ends or things left undone. I was even told, after the fact, that there was an issue with some of the desserts being picked up prior to the wedding and I would have never known because it did not affect the event (let's just say that what we were told would be available, *was* available, despite there being a hiccup). The entire event was seamless and Jen/Caylee were extremely communicative about the itinerary and were both constantly on the move, ensuring that everything went off without a hitch and everyone was where they were supposed to be.

    Everyone in attendance was amazed at how beautiful the venue looked on the wedding day and how organized the entire staff was. Caylee did phenomenal work with the floral arrangements! Their packages are very affordable and cover almost everything you'd really need in a wedding. If you're looking for a venue for an event/wedding, you really can't lose with Pond Oaks (unless your event is VERY large).

    P.S. The bartender rocks! Cary is fantastic and deserves all the tips! :) Seriously though, everyone associated with this venue gets an A+ in our book!

    Pond Oaks by Mountain Meadow Events's reply:

    Alex, Thank you so much for your kind review! We are so grateful to have met you, your family and friends and to be able to give you the wedding of your dreams! Our family truly loved getting to know you both and we felt so very fortunate that by the end of your day we gained such wonderful friends in you all!

    We can't wait to watch as your journey unfolds and see all the new milestones for years to come!

    With love,

    The Pond Oaks Family!

    The wedding of my dreams

    Pond oaks is a beautiful outdoor venue. The owners are very personable and work hard to make the bride and groom's dream come true. They listened to me and my family while we met to go over what we envisioned and brought creative suggestions to us when needed. They were very helpful and when life kept throwing out wedding curveballs, they worked with us to get through it. They made it seem like no problem ever occurred. The venue itself is stunning and has a rustic vibe. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who loves the charm of the outdoors and wants to feel supported from the staff during the stressful process of getting married.

    Dream Fall Wedding

    I don't think me and my husband could've asked for a more beautiful wedding. Jennifer was so helpful all the way thru. The wedding decor ended up being beautiful. I am not exaggerating by saying it was the perfect wedding.

    Fantastic. Simple. Stress free.

    My husband and I searched for venues for the longest time when we first got engaged. We had a budget in mind, but we weren’t totally aware of all that goes into planning a wedding, unaware of the cost of renting things needed. I originally wanted a DIY and quickly learned that was a stressful route, so I searched for an all-inclusive wedding venue. Many venues I went to sold us on the “all-inclusive” impressions, but when getting down to the final discussions, we quickly learned that there were all these added costs at the end of the day.

    One thing you get when choosing pond oaks, 100% transparency. Many venues hid last minute costs, but Pond Oaks included every cost possible, besides any additional guests or add-ons we may have had.

    The planning and coordination process. Seamless. I could be as DIY as I wanted or leave it up to their expertise to execute things I couldn’t figure out on my own- and every expectation was met and most exceeded. I was blown away. When I felt like I was drowning in planning, they were there to pick up the pieces, guide me and help me navigate.

    The day of- the system, staff, vendors, timeline. Perfect. There was not a single thing that went missed. Not a single thing that fell out of place and for the things that did- they did an amazing job of making sure things were handled & that I wasn’t focused on anything other than my special day.

    My friends and family still talk about my wedding day and reminisce on how perfect it was. They talk about the venue and it’s natural beauty, the kind and helpful staff and the overall energy and ambiance that you get when you step into the gates of Pond Oaks.

    100% recommend to ANYONE for your wedding, small event or for business events. It truly is a magical place beneath the trees!

    Pond Oaks by Mountain Meadow Events's reply:

    Caylee,

    Thank you so much for your kind words! We are so happy that your wedding day was everything you dreamed of!

    With love,
    The Pond Oaks Family!

    A Dream of a Venue

    This review is long overdue. We can not adequately express our gratitude for the absolutely perfect wedding we had at Pond Oaks. After two other failed venues due to unforeseen circumstances, we were about to give up hope that we would be able to find somewhere to celebrate our day with family and friends. Enter our angel Jen (and her family)...Literally a miracle from God. If we could give 1000+ stars we would. Not only for providing us with a gorgeous setting and a myriad of special touches, but also for the extreme patience and kindness shown to this very rattled bride during a stressful time. She was always there with comforting words, amazing recommendations, and a solution to any problem. She communicated expertly with vendors and made sure we didn't have to wonder or worry about a thing. She allowed us all the creative space to make it our own. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed breathing in the sweet mountain air and swinging and meandering under the mighty oaks and we received many compliments about how spoiled and refreshed they felt. Our heartfelt thanks for being so instrumental in creating a magical day for us. We will never forget it...or you.

    With love, Bobby and Ruth Brett
