Beautiful venue! I attended a wedding at this venue and loved the wedding so much that I booked my own here.

Ah where to start with the Oak Island experience? Just book them already! We just had our wedding last Sunday and wish we could go back! Yolanda is the most gracious of hosts and Candace is a heck of a wedding planner. My husband and I live in San Diego (I'm from the Birmingham area) and we initially thought we would have a wedding in San Diego. However, for the same price and a lot less coordination and stress on my part, Oak Island offered a package deal including bartender, DJ, flowers, catering, cakes, security etc.! We also considered the Sterling Castle nearby (also offers package deals) but I knew after talking to Yolanda and seeing Oak Island that we had to have it on their beautiful lake property. We chose the fountain as our ceremony location and the patio out by the pool as our reception location (complete with cafe lights!). Terri, the day-of coordinator was so patient and fun to work with. She wrangled our easily distracted wedding party like a pro and got us through the rehearsal with no problem. As the bride, one of the things I'm most grateful for was that on the wedding day, I never had to stress about a single thing, never had to check the time and wonder if everything was going ok, AND I got to eat all the delicious food and cake!! If anything went wrong, I definitely didn't know about it. As for the reception, it could not have been more perfect. Most of our guests were from out of town and the majority of them had never stepped foot below the Mason-Dixon line. They were BLOWN AWAY by the beauty of Oak Island complete with a gorgeous multi-colored sunset over the lake during the reception. Also, DJ Ray Ray Tennyson knows how to put on a dance party and we had several guests tell us that it was the most fun wedding they had ever been to. Thanks Yolanda, Candace, Ray, and the many behind the scenes staff that helped make our wedding day perfect and unforgettable. Thank you for the surprise at the end of the reception. We're so grateful!

My Husband and I got married at this place just two days ago but I feel like I’m already late to tell everyone about our wonderful experience. This place is sublime and absolutely gorgeous. I’m from New York and I truly found the southern hospitality here. Yolanda is the most wonderful person. She is not just a venue director. She takes it personally to make sure you have all the details to perfection. She will work with you as long as needed until you have all the specifics planned to excellence. She is extremely kind and welcoming and we soon realized she was as concerned about the perfection of our big day as ourselves. The venue is flawless. Perhaps it is fair to say that the pictures can’t describe all the beauty that is entailed in this place and you have to experience it by yourself. We had a great deal of details based on our culture that were not part of her routine but she absolutely and comprehensively took care of all of them. Most of our guests were from out state and the amazing venue, professional and polite staff and level of meticulousness overwhelmed them all. On our big day Terri was an absolute caretaker. She had a thorough game plan and played it to perfection. She amazed me by her kindness and calm even in the face of unexpected events. I can’t tell you enough how amazing everything about this place is and as a bride to be, you can have peace of mind that all your dreams will be coming true at this astonishing place. I absolutely, firmly, highly and unequivocally recommend this place to any couple who want to make a memory that even their grand-children will be amazed by. Lots of heart felt love to Yolanda, Terri, the florist (Demaris), our officiant (Jeremy), Candace (wedding planner), our chef (Chef Troy), DJ (Russ), (indulge sweet shop who made our cake) for their kindness, professionalism, detail-orientation, fantastic performance and also want to thank them all for creating the most wonderful experience of our lives.
