Jessica and Borzi were easy to work with, organized, and helped make our day worry free. Everyone at our wedding including us loved the food. Their catering staff was professional and the cooks amazing. They prepared beautiful table settings, and made sure our guests were well taken care of throughout dinner. Would use them for any future event we host in and around Oregon. We love Oakway Catering!

Borzi has great ideas and can work in even rudimentary event spaces (Pffeifer winery...with no kitchen......and difficult Venues like 252). I have even used the cafeteria space at 123 International Way for a charity auction, celebratory dinner for 130 and several Rotary functions. Jessica is a master organizer. You can't beat this team!

I was a guest at a recent wedding held at the Emerald Valley Event Center in Creswell. I have event…read moreplanning experience and that always makes for an interesting perspective versus that of a typical party guest. The exterior of the EVEC main building and interior lobby are a bit outdated in terms of decor. In contrast, the event hall itself is quite lovely and spacious; large sweeping view of the golf course, high ceilings with lots of wooden beams and pretty hanging light fixtures, a moderate sized wooden dance floor; fireplace with stone mantle that serves as a nice backdrop for a ceremony. The event staff was managed well; the servers were attentive and dressed professionally, and handled the changing/re-arranging of the space from ceremony to reception smoothly. The food, I'm sorry to say, was consistent with the general consensus that food at weddings is typically not memorable. As is to be expected with similar venues; to use the EVEC location and space, one most likely needs to use their caterer. While plentiful, the selections and their presentation was unimaginative and the flavor/quality was less than mediocre. The two most effective examples of this gripe would be the GINORMOUS cheese platter and a ridiculously small selection of dark brown or light brown, barely-stale slices of pullman loaf bread, and the crab cakes reeked of fish sauce. So, yes, your guests will enjoy a lovely view, competent staff, and a venue thats good for an indoor party with a nice space, pretty decor, booze and music. Their catering needs work. If I were to rate the food by my Yelp standards, it would be considerably lower than the 3, but who goes to a wedding to review (solely) the food?

Every step of the way, from the initial email about pricing and options to the final produced photos and everything in between, Lexie was incredible. She was quick to respond, creative and helpful in our planning, maintained good communication during the lead-up months of the actual photo shoot, and was enthusiastic and charming during the session making it easy to get everyone to smile :) She was SUPER flexible in terms of location/time/weather (outdoor shoots in the winter are tough), and the quick turnaround of receiving the final product during the holiday season was terrific. I highly recommend Lexie as a professional photographer of whatever event you need done. We will use her again without hesitation.

I had a couple conversations with Chris ahead of time to give him a sense of what we were looking for- the feel, the tone, the level of attendee engagement. Then he ran with it. Chris was a great asset at the event. He arrived early with all the gear he needed for this venue. Calm, collected. He had extra time to spare, so he found one of our other volunteers and lent a hand to something they were setting up. Chris does a great job of music selection. We had a mixed crowd- college kids, young families, baby boomers with no kids- the music throughout the event was well-matched. Chris also does a good job with the emcee piece. He's energetic and has a charismatic presence on the mic, but doesn't add the cheesy broadcaster/gameshow-host edge that many DJ's throw in to their events. I highly recommend Zauner Entertainment for event music and emcee services.
