    I have been dreaming about getting married at Oak Hill since I attended a wedding there at 9 years old. Becky and her team work tirelessly to make magic. We never needed or wanted for anything, staff was quick to offer golf cart rides if we needed it, bring drinks to our table without asking and provide a seamless experience. I have been an event manager in the wedding industry for close to 10 years and I had my full trust in her team and was able to turn my manager brain off for a day, which i so appreciate!
