“We got married on June 9, 2025, and it was such a perfect day! The venue was so so beautiful and it brought my vision to life. Our coordinator/decorator Cobi was absolutely amazing! She made our day so stress-free and fun! It was a beautiful, organized, and dream-filled day with her help.

The venue was the perfect size for the number of guests we had, and we got so many compliments on how beautiful and organized it was. The sunset was gorgeous and we loved that we could open up the garage doors onto the patio so that guests could enjoy it. There were lots of pictures taken with the sunset :)

The decor closet was such a big help to us and truly made it so much easier to perfect my vision. I am so grateful we got to use those beautiful items and it made our wedding day so beautiful. I'm still waiting on all my pictures back but I know I will cherish these memories forever because of how awesome Sunset Oaks was! I would recommend to anyone planning a wedding!”
