Love Letters to The Oakley

The Oakley on the Lake is absolutely beautiful and Angela and Sarah are amazing. Everything about this venue is perfect. The outdoor ceremony space is gorgeous, and the reception area is spacious. There’s so much attention to detail that it really makes the whole place feel special. One of the best parts was working with Angela. She was so kind, answered all of our questions, and made us feel so welcome from the very beginning. You can tell she truly cares about getting to know you and making your day as special as possible. It’s also very clear that when she built this venue, she thought of every little detail to make it absolutely perfect. The bridal suite is SO pretty and made getting ready feel even more exciting. The staff were super helpful and made the whole experience stress-free. They were always there when we needed them and kept everything running smoothly. If you’re looking for a venue that’s beautiful, well-run, and perfect for a wedding, The Oakley on the Lake is definitely worth it. We had an amazing time, and I can’t recommend it enough.
From just looking at the displays at the wedding expo. We already knew that The Oakley was the one and only venue for us and it wasn't even built yet. Angela vision for her venue was planned to a T and to be able to be apart of the dirt to concrete slab to the building standing with the perfect light fixtures. It was just too perfect. So when the wedding day came 11/01/24 it was all we could ask for. The Oakley is the one stop shop for wedding venue. The support that they give is outstanding. I must say thank you very much to The Oakley on the Lake family and staff and a special Thank you to Angela my friends and family love you. So with that being said i will let the photos speak the thousands words. The Cormiers November 1st 2024!!!
I cannot recommend The Oakley enough. Angela and her team were accommodating to us in every step of the process. Our wedding day ended up being much colder and windier than we originally planned for. Angela and The Oakley team made sure our families and guests were comfortable throughout the entire wedding. Everyone was so kind, fun, detail oriented, and such a pleasure to work with.
This is the place for your wedding dreams to come true! We had the best day for my son and daughter in law’s wedding. Everything here is beyond amazing. The venue is gorgeous with wonderful rooms to get ready for the day. Angela is one of the easiest and nicest people to work with on the planet. The staff were super kind. We are still pinching ourselves over how magical this day was for all of us!
Weeks later, we’re still absolutely in awe over The Oakley! It is truly the perfect venue! They have it all, and we could not have asked for a better experience! Angela and Sarah went above and beyond on making our day so special! They truly make you feeling like a VIP bride throughout the weekend and are always there to help you! Our guest were in awe of everything. We could not recommend The Oakley enough, and can’t wait to return for future celebrations! Thank you again! We love y’all! 🤍🤍🤍
