This was to be an idealic location for a family celebration. I made the reservation, signed the…read morecontract and made the initial deposit well ahead of date planned. Final payments followed. However, a family member needed hospitalization and surgery right before our date to use the chapel. I notified the owners a month before the date. They informed me that I wasn't going to receive any reimbursement for our cancellation. There was nothing on the contract that stated losing all the dollars paid if a cancellation had to be placed, especially for a matter of medical reasons. I could have understood losing the initial deposit and some of the balance on a prorated level. All they offered was to reschedule the date. But, since it was an anniversary celebration, that was not possible. They were completely unyielding and unsympathetic to our case. If you consider this venue, I would recommend you checking to see if they added amendments to the contract due to our case, These owners are completely selfish and uncompromising. This is not a way to treat customers as you start a new business.

Beautiful location. Disappointing experience…read more The grounds are gorgeous--10/10. Unfortunately, a beautiful location does not make up for a lack of thoughtfulness, cultural awareness, or respect for the ceremony itself. Our ceremony was spiritual and deeply meaningful to us. Every element was chosen for a sacred reason connected to our culture and ancestors, and we followed the venue's instructions by submitting our music selections in advance. During our ceremony, they were rushing so much to keep everything moving that they played my groom's entrance song while the minister was walking out. This was not the correct moment for that song and should have began once the minister was in place so that the moment wasn't shared. But they were RUSHING. Later, during our sand ceremony, our Officiant was performing a traditional ancestral reading. This was a sacred moment that did not require background music. Then, completely out of nowhere, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" started playing. We had never selected this song, and it was not part of our ceremony or a song we would ever even choose for our wedding. It completely disrupted the ancestral reading, forcing our Officiant to speak over the music to finish. When I asked why it happened afterward (via text), I was texted and told, "I noticed nothing was planned for that moment," and that "I liked to have something playing softly in the background." Her personal preference is not a reason to insert a song into someone else's wedding ceremony, especially when we had already submitted our selections. I do not believe there was malicious intent, and she did apologize. However, the decision was incredibly presumptuous and showed a lack of awareness about the significance of what was happening. This was our wedding. Our ceremony. I still cannot understand how someone could look at a deeply meaningful ancestral ritual and think, "You know what would make this better? A random Hawaiian ukulele-style song that I think is great." Apology or not, that was an epic display of ignorance. She heard silence and thought, "I know what this needs. A song I like!" Unbelievable. Unfortunately, this felt like part of a larger issue, an assembly-line approach to weddings. We were the fifth and final wedding of the day, and there was a noticeable urgency to keep everything moving. The rush energy made everyone so uncomfortable. Before our allotted ceremony time had even ended (it wasn't even close), the owner began collecting our things. This lady is literally in our wedding pictures grabbing our things up. Our ancestral broom was picked up to "help" us, and I had to take it back because again that action was out of step with our cultural practices. I wanted her to Relax so bad. The Rushing was insane.Communication was another frustration. We were initially told we would have a rehearsal, then told something different after signing the contract. I happened to have recorded the original conversation because we were taking so many notes while choosing a venue, so there was no ambiguity about what had been said. It was just a sales tactic. Every conversation seemed to start over with each new person.My advice: do not confuse the tour with the actual client experience. The tour is phenomenal, and they know how to sell the package. You step into the garden, the music starts, the scenery is beautiful, and suddenly you are imagining your wedding. It worked on me--I signed up on the spot. But remember, it is a sales pitch. Once you sign, you are one of the couples moving through the system. Read everything and ask questions.Going over your allotted time costs $400 per 15 minutes. They are upfront about that ridiculous fee, so I knew about it beforehand. Still, $400 for 15 minutes should literally be criminal. We dod nit go over, but it is worth mentioning.I also strongly recommend skipping the optional sand ceremony supplies. I assumed the design would be etched or professionally printed onto the glass. Instead, it is a piece of paper scotch taped inside the vase, with the sand ending up behind the paper. For an additional $45, the quality cheap. Bring your own.Unfortunately, good intentions do not automatically equal the ideal experience. At some point, the business model seems to take over, and weddings become schedules, packages, upsells, time slots, policies, and couples moving through a system. Did I say Rushing enough. If you want a beautiful backdrop, this place is worth considering. If you want a personalized experience where your cultural traditions, sacred rituals, and individual ceremony choices are treated with attentiveness and reverence, I would think very carefully before booking here. I walked away with a beautiful venue, some good memories, and a brand-new understanding of audacity. I still enjoyed my wedding and the breathtaking location. Just don't assume the beauty comes with the same level of care for the meaning behind your wedding. It's business.

We had to postpone our Wedding due to the pandemic which caused us to have to find a new venue. The minute I called Anne Marie she was ready to help. She helped us plan our new Wedding with only 2 months left till our day. She took our romantic, elegant vision we have had the past 2 years and made it come to life at her Chapel. What made our day even more special was that I got to say "I do" to my Groom in the same church my parents said "I do" 34 years ago and also the church I grew up going to with my parents and grandparents. We have been through so much with planning a wedding during a pandemic but the second we decided to change our Venue to Oakwood Chapel our anxiety and stress simply was gone because of the way we were treated by Anne Marie. Everything about our Wedding day was magical and would not have happened without Anne Marie and her team. We are forever grateful

Meh. We went for my…read morehusbands holiday party. It was just not glam. A rickety tiny elevator ride up with tacky sheets as decor. It about summed up the experience. Luckily decor was much better when we reached our party room destination. Travelling apps were not terribly impressive but still tastyish. The bacon wrapped chicken on a skewer was ginormous. Awkward to eat. Tasted the best of the three though. The crabcakes were miniscule and mostly breading. My husband seemed unimpressed with the shrimp. The salads were simply dressed with no option but with what I guess could be called vinaigrette if I were being generous. The rolls were very grainy and not my thing. My salmon would have been terrific if it had been fresh. It was a huge portion but cold and the sauce had congealed. I liked the roasted potatoes and the veggies but again, cold. My husbands sliced steak concoction was at least warm and it was super tender. It was also well beyond a generous portion. He disliked the sauce though. The bar staff did well. We avoided the pitchers of flat beer and bad merlot, which helped. The mixed drinks were stellar. My Tito's and soda with a wee splash of cran and a lime were perfect. My husbands tequila and pineapple was also delish. Dessert was as good as the alcohol. Fantastic apple spice cake with cream cheese and caramel and a creamy chocolate pie. Yum. It was just typical wedding to me. I would never choose it myself.

I could visibly see my bride and mothers shoulders relax after meeting Mary for the first time, a few weeks before the wedding. Mary had all sorts of supplies we could use (all for free) and really knew her stuff. During our rehearsal, Mary instructed everyone to come to her on the day of the wedding. Not me (the groom), not my mother, not the bride, but her. She played the QB and handled everything. Guys, and girls, in a world where couples getting married are nickled and dimed for every little thing, this place is the opposite. Never once did Mary say something like "Sure, we can do that for an extra fee". Everything was "Oh sure, here's what I have, what do you think?" You can tell both Chris and Mary really enjoy their work. I have nothing but glowing comments to say about them and their facility. I would recommend them a hundred times over if I could. Go with them and their facility, you won't regret it.
