White Oaks on the Bayou Reviews

We husband and I went to an open house here. That day it felt so magical and knew immediately this was the place. The staff was very nice at the open house and answered all our questions.

We were immediately taken by White Oaks. We loved the classy reception space (that required so little “doing up” because it was already so lovely) and the airy outdoor ceremony spot. The management was extremely accommodating and polite, and allowed so much flexibility with setup, vendors, etc. We got so much positive feedback from our guests also! We’d absolutely recommend this venue to anyone!

We had our wedding at White Oaks on the Bayou in Simonton, TX. Everyone enjoyed the scenery and location. All the staff were very helpful and courteous towards the brides requests.

Rustic chic elegance embraces a waterfront feel sure to please everyone. I worked with Cari out at the venue for a wedding she was coordinating, (I was the photographer) and Cari had every single detail taken care of. In 14 years of shooting, Cari was easily top 5 coordinators I've worked with. She's amazing! The venue is incredible with both indoor elegance and outdoor charm. Every face of the building has been detailed, and we experienced what could only be described as a masterpiece sunset over the water that gave everything that fall pink glow. Would absolutely love to shoot anything Cari is coordinating, and am certain this won't be my last wedding at White Oaks on the Bayou!

White oaks was the most perfect venue for our wedding! The staff was amazing and Sherry was so quick to reply to my questions. There was never a point where I felt like I was bothering her with questions and she was so honest and fast. We loved that we were able to bring in our own vendors but they still offered suggestions. We loved that within the price, a day of coordinator was included. We had Christina be our coordinator at the venue and she was at the rehearsal to help out our other coordinator and it went all so smooth. We searched for so long for the perfect venue and so glad we found everything we needed with White Oaks. Also working with Maria for the final walk-through was fantastic. She made us feel so at ease and very patient with all of our questions and ideas. I would highly recommend this venue to any bride.

I LOVE THIS PLACE. We just got married at the end of March here! No fuss, no nothing! It's wonderful. My husband and I actually had to change our date AND venue about 3 months before the wedding because our guest count went WAY above the capacity of my dad's backyard. So we already had our caterer, DJ, Photographer, and Florist booked so we were looking for a venue that was a beautiful blank canvas and as soon as I first came to this place, I knew it was it!! I was so excited to find something as everything in Houston is sometimes so "inclusive." It just turned out to be the best place I could ever think of!! My husband and I both believe things happen for a reason and we truly believe that we found White Oaks as a blessing because it was just beautiful. We utilized the fire pit for smores which my guests LOVED. I have pictures of the reception too that are AMAZING, but they are too big to fit on this website. I got a great price because I booked so quickly and it was all worth it. Please book here!!!! You will not regret it no matter what time of year!

Contact this venue asap, you won't regret it!

I loved this venue. Sherri was an amazing person and very professional. She answered immediately to all of my questions and everything went perfectly on my wedding day.

White Oaks on the Bayou is such a beautiful and special place. My wife and I fell in love with the venue after our first visit. The venue brings everything together; the photography, the catering, the table décor, the flowers, and the colors. It had everything we were looking for and even more (it is even water front!!). The physical beauty and the well-kept grounds were only half of the equation, the owner / manager Sherry really sold us. She is an unbelievable person and is amazing to work with. Working with her was like working with a friend who truly has your best interest at heart. So many other venues felt cold business with employees and rules that seemed very uninviting. Sherry however was the business, and she is open, friendly, and responsive to anything and everything. She made the whole process a lot less stressful. So, if you want a place that is affordable, beautiful, and amazing please give her a call. We simply cannot recommend her enough.

White Oaks on the Bayou in Simonton was the second venue we visited. Within 5 minutes of our arrival I was in love and SOLD! White Oaks is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! From the stunning outdoor ceremony space with water feature, built in pergola/arbor and the lake behind as a backdrop (GORGEOUS) to the indoor reception space with wood beamed ceiling and chandeliers already draped with greenery - it is absolutely STUNNING! With that in mind - it doesn't take much to decor as it is already so beautiful on it's own. The firepit and the patio with plenty of string lights - make for great spots for guests to gather for additional dance space and conversation. Our guests were blown away by the beauty of White Oaks! We had a lot of local guests from the Katy, Texas area who couldn't believe such a "gem" existed just outside of Katy.

The staff at White Oaks from Sherry Ramji to our venue DOC Carrie were amazing to work with. Sherry was always very responsive and very committed to making sure that we had the BEST DAY EVER!!

I just booked here for a December wedding! Cant wait!

I had my wedding at White Oaks on the Bayou in September 2016. I have no words to describe how perfect and amazing everything was. The place is absolutely gorgeous and my guests loved it. So many people came to me to congratulate me on finding such a beautiful and cozy venue for my wedding and to tell me they were completely unaware they could find a place like this just outside of Houston, TX.
I could go on and on about all the beautiful details at White Oaks, but I will let the pictures speak for themselves. Instead, I will focus on the parts of the experience which cannot be seen in the photographs:

1. Dealing with everyone at White Oaks was a pleasure, especially Sherry. She was absolutely awesome. Any time I had a question, I would shoot her an email and minutes later I would get a reply. Being responsive is one thing, but Sherry is on a whole other level! Not only would the response come in a heartbeat, but she was always working so hard to accommodate all my requests and wishes and helped me with anything and everything she could, and I will never be able to be thank her enough for all her hard work.
2. Another great thing about White Oaks is that they partner with Café Natalie for catering, who is also great to work with, reasonably priced, and provide amazingly delicious food. It was difficult to choose our menu because everything we tried was so delicious!
3. One big advantage of having our wedding at White Oaks on the Bayou was that we could hire bartenders and buy the beverages ourselves. That was a huge money saver and we could get all the luxurious beverages we wanted to serve at wedding and not break the bank.

In summary, there was nothing I wish had been different: the place was gorgeous, the people a pleasure to work with, the food was delicious, and the bar was under budget and had everything we wanted. I couldn’t have asked for more. The most amazing night of my entire life! And I really have to thank the people at White Oaks for this!

Amazing location on the bayou!

Really cute place that was about 10 minutes from our house in Katy

White Oaks is a beautiful venue. The venue honored their bridal expo price until we could bring our parents out to check it. They were very easy to work with, and always called back in a timely manner if I had a question. The coordinator for the day was super nice and helpful. The only cons (minor ones) is that they needed more areas to hang the dresses and suits in the rooms, sweep a little better, and repaint the front wall.

I can not to come back and leave a more detailed review! I booked for MAY! I'm so overwhelmed that we found such a beautiful place as White Oaks!

I meet with a woman here. She seemed kinda rude on the phone but hey everyone has those days, right? Well I meet with her and we was rude. But I loved the venue! Then I brought my family to venue it and she didn't want to show us around she just say in her office playing on her phone. When we asked questions she acted like we were stupid. I wouldn't recommend. Venue is gorgeous had a lot to offer but the woman is so rude!
