We held our son's rehearsal dinner at Five Oaks. It was a pleasure working with Nicole and her staff. The ambiance was magical. The food was fabulous and the overall experience was a pleasure. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

We had 2 daughters get married within 9 months and we had both receptions at Five Oaks Lodge. We were very happy with both receptions and received so many compliments on the atmosphere as well as the food. We had beautiful weather for both and enjoyed having a reception where our guests could be inside but also, enjoy the beautiful deck looking out over the water. Nicole was very patient with us and was always willing to answer all our questions! She was easy to reach by phone or email. Both our daughters wanted the chicken and brisket dinner and the food was excellent for both. The guests at both receptions were very complimentary about the meal and many said it was the best food they have had at any reception. Nicole was also very good at her estimate for both receptions. I highly recommend Five Oaks and would love to have another event there sometime:)

We had my sister's reception in June 2011 and mine in March 2012 at Five Oaks Lodge, and they did a wonderful job! Nicole is a pleasure to work with, and is always easy to contact. She is very nice, creative and helpful. We had the brisket and chicken for both of the receptions and it was amazing! We recieved so many compliments on the food and venue. We have and will continue to recommend them to everyone we know! Both of our experiences were fantastic! Thanks Nicole!

Five Oaks was absolutely amazing! The location is in town yet you get the country feel and the decor and landscaping provides for gorgeous photos and a cozy atmosphere. Just walking into this place, even when its completely empty, you get an at home, welcoming feeling. Nicole was great to work with. She was prompt with answering questions and very accurate on her estimates. She has great suggestions and really knows the business and is very patient when asked the same questions several times! We even had to make last minute changes when it came to our ceremony due to rain, and she made it all happen with out a hitch. They also did our catering, and the food was outstanding. We did a buffet style meal and everyone thought the brisket was the best they had ever had.

My daughter got married at Five Oaks and it was wonderful! Nichole was right on the money with her estimates for us on food, booze and everything. The food was fabulous, all my guests are still saying how good it was. The ladies bathroom was very clean and nice with terry towels for every guest to dry there hands on, what a nice touch! The wait staff was helpful and very nice. The bartender was also helpful and very professional. Nichole did an outstanding job of organizing and helping my daughter plan her wedding and reception in the lodge. We couldn't have found a better or more lovely place than Five Oaks for my daughters big day! Thank you for help making her day a wonderful success!

I was very unhappy with this venue - the coordinator was not helpful or quick at responding. She was very pushy of her wants instead of asking mine and was not friendly at all. She does NOT allow silk flowers which I was very disappointed about. She will not hold any of your things (sign in book, cake cutlery, toasting glasses, etc.) the night before the wedding. She told us that there would be a plate of food held to the side for us which didn't happen - by the time we got to the food they were already cleaning it up. We were just very disappointed about our experience here and definitely would NOT recommend anyone to use this for their wedding day - it is such a special day the last thing a bride wants is to have to worry about things and that is all I did with this place!
