The staff here not only provided everything from the centerpieces, tables, chairs and signage to the day-of drink mixers to the bartenders themselves but also made themselves available for multiple venue visits throughout the year beforehand. The Oaks promptly answered any questions we had and just, generally, made us feel at ease with everything. Aside from the attention to you, the venue is stunning. If I could do one thing over again, it would be booking this venue.

We absolutely loved our visit to the family-friendly Almond Farm. Initially, we were a little put…read moreoff by the cost. We bought tickets online for about $16 each, including my toddlers. But hear me out!! It's definitely worth it. Buckle up, this might be long. We visited on a Saturday morning for the Fall Festival & Candy Dump. We arrived around opening (10am). The parking lot is very large and convenient to the entrance. The check-in staff members were so welcoming and friendly. Check-in was quick and easy. The pumpkins were set up at the entrance. There are also a few cute places to take pictures near the entrance. From there, the sky is the limit. We started at the tricycle racetrack then moved to the playground, which has plenty of benches for adults to watch their little ones. Then we moved to the Sand Hill. My kiddos loved all the dump trucks and the sit-on diggers. My husband and I had a quick game of basketball before moving to one of the blow-up slides. While waiting for the wagon ride , we visited the animal pens. My boys loved petting the cow, horse and sheep and seeing the turkey and chickens. For a small cost, you can purchase feed for the animals. Thankfully, they have a hand washing station onsite. The wagon ride is included in the ticket price and was a nice length; not too long & not too short. We had just enough time to visit the corn barn and grab a snack from their concession house. In my opinion, everything was decently priced. Service was quick and the food/drinks were hot. The candy dump was better than we could have imagined. They were kind enough to provide bags for the kiddos. The farm's owner offered a few warm words of appreciation then they loaded up the diggers. Although there were a lot of kids there, they spread the candy out so it didn't feel overwhelming. My toddlers had a blast and the older kids were so kind and patient with them. We left after the candy dump (my kids were exhausted ). There was so much we still didn't get to. They have a corn maze, an excavator slide, more bounce houses, a train and more. Everyone we met was friendly and helpful. And did I mention, my kids were TIRED!! We'll definitely be back.

I attended this wedding for a couple that I have known for many years and care deeply for. They…read morewere like family to my family. My daughter was IN the wedding. She warned us about "Karen" that exuded misery at the pre-wedding / rehearsal events. That didn't quite prepare us for the experience we were about to have. We were being responsible by carpooling to the event. We arranged two designated drivers and two separate cars to take us to the wedding. We thought there was a possibility of a sizable crowd and thought it would reduce the number of cars taking up space in the lot. I arrived in the first car very early. I stood beside my car awaiting the rest of us to arrive any minute. A man with a Napoleon Complex quickly tore into us for NO reason. He accused us of "tailgating". The rest of my party arrived during his diatribe. He threatened to remove us from the property if he caught us returning to our cars. He continued his aggression until we walked down to the venue area. Totally unwarranted and 100% classless! The inside venue space was pretty. The table setting(stemware, flatware, napkins, tablecloth)was pretty. We walked outside to white folding chairs overlooking a community fishing pond. They had an arbor set up with white netting and two floral arrangements tacked to it. The walking paths from the venue building and the area among the wedding space was made of driveway gravel. This was fun for the ladies in heels to walk in. The ceremony was beautiful. The bride was breathtakingly gorgeous. Their vows were tear-inducing. After the exchange of vows we all headed to the inside space for cocktail hour. There was NO liquor, therefore, it was actually beer and wine hour. It didn't take long for all of the wines to run out except for a super sweet Moscato that wasn't really good. Before the dances and speeches began the buzz inside was that someone in the grooms family was getting booted from the venue. I could see him outside receiving the wrath of the venue's gestapo. He was in disbelief that he had to leave the event. I walked outside after he had gone and the three guys with an earpiece were gleefully discussing their accomplishment. The buffet line went quickly. There was only one meat- chicken with something sprinkled on it. They had two starchy sides- mac and cheese and mashed potatoes. They also had a bowl of iceburg lettuce with cucumbers in it and a roll. The mac and cheese was actually pretty good. They had a wedding cake and I never got to taste it. The speeches and first dances were beautiful. The DeeJay did a great job. The music selections were varied to appeal to the wide range of ages and tastes of the wedding attendees. The garter throw and the bouquet toss were memorable. It was awesome to see the love and respect amongst the guests. I had to step outside for a few minutes to get away from the loud music. Guess what? The three guys were outside tossing one of the groomsmen! I found out later that they had also threatened the groom's brother as well. This crowd was so well-behaved. I hate that thing I will most remember from this wedding is the three guys with an earpiece. I was personally verbally attacked bu one of these guys for NO reason. These guys need two things, 1) a psychologist to help them with their aggression and anger issues and 2) a new job that doesn't involve interactions with the public.
