Northern Oaks Events was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, they were attentive, responsive, and respectful in all of our communications. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful, with amazing, gorgeous details that truly made our special day feel even more magical. The staff were incredible - they were so helpful and made sure my husband and I were taken care of. They were there making sure everything ran smoothly. I cannot recommend Northern Oaks Events enough - they truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect.
