The staff was friendly and attentive. There is plenty of parking and the grounds are exquisite! The outside area wasn't very big so if you're having a smaller event, then this is the place for you. Maybe somewhere around 100 people or so fits perfectly.

Leaning Oaks Ranch was a perfect venue for my daughter and new son-in-law's wedding! With 150…read moreguests invited, the setting was great for the 100+ attendees. Landscaping in the front area where the ceremony and most bridal party pictures were taken is beautiful. The plants offered greenery and a beautiful array of fall colors for the occasion. We were terrified that we might get rained out, but Barbara (owner, proprietor, sanity savior!) had connections to vendors offering tent options but assured us we would be okay without said tents after scouting the weather and staying in constant contact with us. (She was 100% correct) We then moved from the picturesque ceremony area to the back for the reception. This also did not disappoint. There was a good flow to the venue between the bar, the food serving, the tables for dinner and visiting with guests, to the Gazebo and dance area. It was cozy for guests but never crowded. The staff was attentive and extremely helpful...our guests wanted for nothing. I was pleased and impressed with the professionalism and hospitality at the wedding and reception. Leaning Oaks was completely accommodating and helpful every step of the way. For a wedding, you simply don't want to leave things to chance; the day is just too important. It felt like the staff were ready to meet our every need and offer suggestions when needed. I can honestly say that the guests, family, and the bride/groom were 100% satisfied with Leaning Oaks as a venue and would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a local, outdoor, beautiful, and professional venue. We worked with Barbara and Keith to get everything we needed dropped off the day before the event so that set-up was a breeze the day of the wedding! Positive communication was a huge key to this very successful event. My daughter and son-in-law now have amazing memories they can look back on for the rest of their lives and smile. Choosing Leaning Oaks took away much of the stress of planning a large event and an important day! (More pictures will be added as they are received...)

We looked relentlessly for a venue for the party, but every place was either too far or had no ambience. I'd seen pictures from a friends event that was held here and quickly called her to find out all the deets. I called the next day, spoke to Brooke, and went to see the place for myself. I. Fell. In. Love. But I had to coax my mother and sister in law into it. They thought it was too small and just would not work for our 150 guests. I had to quickly explain that the venue also included the outdoor patio! And tables and chairs and ice machine and kitchen and premium furniture and...the list goes on and on! Everything was perfect! We were able to fit our 100 guests and had a band! I'm telling you guys if you need a venue with class and ambiance for an affordable price then LOOK NO FURTHER!!!

Place is beautiful but The property itself is beautiful; however, our experience raised some…read moreconcerns. The owners did not seem to consistently recognize or recall guests, which created some confusion during our visit. If you plan to make payments, I recommend using checks or another traceable method so you have clear proof of payment. Additionally, there appeared to be some tension with the staff, as they were being corrected in front of guests, which affected the overall atmosphere. Although our event was scheduled until 11:00 PM, cleanup began around 10:30 PM, which made guests feel as though the event was ending early and led to people leaving sooner than expected. There were also a few minor issues, such as being questioned for requesting a few additional utensils. Overall, while the venue is very nice, the level of professionalism could be improved.

Also there is a Bar/kitchen area in the back for serving drinks or food keeping the event and serving food separated eliminating any distractions during a special performance.

We ended up just sort of standing around which made us have an encounter with a douchebag who said I was "in his space" which soured my mood. We stayed for the first 2 matches and then left early after getting tired of standing. It was refreshing that the douchebags friend came and apologized for his behavior though. The food we had was ok. I had wings and the hubs had the pastrami sandwich which he said was fire.
