“We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding venue. Not only was the natural scenery gorgeous (and the ceremony set in the woods like we wanted), but the reception space was beautifully decorated without us having to lift a finger. Amy and Gary have truly created a stunning space for couples to celebrate their special day in, and our guests couldn't help commenting on how beautiful it was throughout the day (and after the wedding). Even when we dealt with last-minute, record-cold temperatures for May, Amy and Gary helped our guests stay as warm and comfortable as possible before, during, and after the ceremony. They made so many accommodations for us, were extremely communicative and understanding, and didn't cause additional issues. Plus, their network of vendors was incredible, and the open house they hosted right after we booked helped us find the majority of our vendors for the wedding. Everyone worked together so well, and it made the day run super smoothly for my husband and me because so much communication went on behind the scenes. I appreciate Amy, Gary, and their team so much for all that they do!”

“The Oscar Event Center is absolutely incredible venue. We got married there on 9/19/26. Our guest count was about 100 people but the venue is big enough to accommodate but larger guest counts than that. It is above the Jungle Jim's store which makes it such a fun surprise for guests when they arrive and have no idea it existed above a store they've been to before. We loved that the venue is so unique, it isn't your typical, cookie cutter wedding venue that looks exactly like so many others. It also has so much visual interest/decor already that you don't need to fill space with a ton of your own decor and flowers. Not to mention the price. It is so affordable for what you get compared to other places we got quotes from. When we booked the venue, we got the entire space (huge ballroom, lounge area, pub, terrace and bridal suite) whereas a lot of venues only allow to rent out 1 or 2 rooms for the same or even higher price. The catering is done on site and they have their own bar staff. Most of the big vendors you need for your wedding are already offered directly through the venue which is so much more convenient and affordable. The staff is incredible. We worked with Jan from the very beginning. She is no nonsense, straight to the point and transparent about pricing and everything as well as so quick to respond to any questions or requests. Ashley was our day-of coordinator who was also provided by the venue. She was incredible. Our wedding day had absolutely no hiccups in timing. She set up almost all of our decor herself and did it perfectly with very little instruction from us. She made sure people were where they needed to be without needing to double check with us. Our wedding was perfect and it is purely because of her working behind the scenes. I would 1000% recommend this venue to anyone for their wedding. You absolutely cannot beat the price for the accommodations and services they offer. In my opinion, the pictures online do not do this place justice. I highly recommend viewing it in person because it's so much bigger and cooler than what we thought it would be when we saw it online initially. We couldn't be happier with how our wedding turned out.”
