The (now) wife and I had our wedding here on Dec. 27th. And despite the fact that she showed up to…read morethe venue forgetting her wedding dress (seriously - how does one even do that? I love that crazy woman...) we had an amazing experience. The biggest reason we booked this venue is that the place is gorgeous. Amazing picture taking venue. You want water in the background? There's a pond out back. Trees? There's a little tree farm next door. Bushes/bench? Right there. Stairs for a group shot? Out front. A gorgeous house in the background? A staircase? Fireplace? All available for photos. The main room where we held the ceremony wasn't too big. It could probably hold in ~100 people comfortably (we only had ~15). However, it is laid out such that there is glass on three sides of the room, giving you great natural light and some beautiful background. They also have a full kitchen there for party purposes and a sound system you can plug into for music. Martha (who runs the place) was really accommodating helpful. She gave us the WiFi password so we could Skype in family for the wedding. She had no problem letting us have our dog as our ring bearer. And when we got there, the chairs were already set up. Perfect. And the best part? It was only $100/hour for us to reserve it. Well worth the cost and a great experience.

Do NOT book your private event with Oak City Events! We hosted our welcome party at The Avenue and…read moreit was a disaster from start to finish. Alexis made big promises, but completely failed to deliver. Communication was poor throughout the planning process, and I had to chase her for basic details about our bar package--details she clearly didn't even know. The day of the event, no one was there at our scheduled drop-off time, forcing us to leave décor outside unattended. When we arrived to set up, nothing was where we had agreed during our walkthrough. The champagne wall wasn't up, welcome table was missing, and the bar menus Alexis designed weren't out. Then she lied and claimed those signature drinks suddenly weren't included in our package (despite previously confirming they were in writing) and the bar didn't even have the right ingredients for them. Our event started and guests arrived before setup was complete. The staff put champagne in wine and whiskey glasses (when our contract clearly states we'd get champage glasses), our slideshow wasn't playing, and the "complimentary desserts" we were promised never appeared. AND the WORST part- A sober and pregnant guest was served alcohol when she ordered a Shirley Temple! HOW does that even happen?!? That is beyond negligent and dangerous, there is NO excuse!! Alexis blamed me (the bride) for the confusion and chaos, when I was the only one keeping the day on track and her team clearly dropped the ball. She was nowhere to be found when guests arrived, despite promising she'd be there to greet them and hand out drink our tokens. Bottom line: they're disorganized, dishonest, and unprofessional. Save yourself the stress--do not book your event with them!

I am excited for any opportunity to partner with them for corporate events, which typically run over multiple days. They do a fantastic job at listening to the chatter in the room to make each meal better for our guest. The service is never short of excellent and the meals always have a taste of "home cooking". They put the "extra special" into every menu item, whether it is a special ingredient or the need to cater to vegans and vegetarians. I have partnered with them on at least three events to date. This last event, I called somewhat desperately because I didn't receive much notice. I didn't look at their menus, I simply provided my vision and let them run with it. Four days of meals and all were different -- breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks over four days! I trusted them explicitly because they have never let me down. They continually make me look good, and I feel like I can promise they will do the same for your next event. If you have not tried Chefella's yet, my only question is... What are you waiting for???

Wedding space was beautiful. Wedding reception and coordination was horrible. The reception…read morefacility needed ceiling fans in the outside area, no signs directing how to access bathrooms in the reception area and staff were rude when guests entered the wrong way. If there was going to be 2 hours between wedding and reception(sit down dinner) bride/groom should have received a suggestion to have heavier pre-reception spread. They had only 2 high top tables and 2 regular tables which were placed directly in the sun. They needed tables in the cover area especially since guests couldn't access the reception area for 2 hours after the end of the wedding ceremony.

I came out to see the location for a bridal vendor meet and get ideas for our daughter's upcoming wedding. We had so many different delicious dessert's, coffee, cotton candy and even a photo booth ! When you first drive down the road you come to a huge parking lot. Perfect if you are having a big wedding. The outside around the property is so pretty you can do all of your photos or even your wedding outside. Going into the building there is a long foyer where you can set up name/ table tags. Through the foyer there is the hall. The ceiling is very high open beam's very good lighting. Lots of room for many tables and dancing. There is a big fire place at the far end of the room.

When we got there, we were greeted and got set up immediately. We were given protective pants that covered your shoes and a protective top that had a hood. There was also glasses, gloves, and hair ties available, so if you're afraid of getting dirty, DONT BE! The spinning itself is very simple and to the point! Mix your colors, place them on the canvas, and spin! The hardest thing is coming up with a cool design, but we were able to get it right with our second canvas. At the end, we had the option of taking our wet canvas to go in a pizza box, using their dryer for an extra charge or leaving it until we were ready to pick up. This was really fun, and I would definitely do it again!
