Glen Oaks Country Club was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the initial communication via email and in-person meetings, the staff demonstrated a professional, detailed and calming approach. The venue itself was clean, neat and upscale, providing an elegant backdrop for our special day. Our catering manager, Lauren Bellis, had a very detailed written plan that included our menu and timeline, putting us completely at ease. All the staff we encountered were courteous and helpful, and we were extremely pleased and satisfied with how everything turned out. We highly recommend Glen Oaks Country Club for any couple planning their wedding.

I'm a wedding photographer, and I recently held a styled shoot at VOWS. From beginning to end, the team at VOWS was a dream to work with. Not only are the people lovely, but this space is simply gorgeous. The room itself is very versatile and could be set up in a million different ways, but also needs NO extra decoration for those who love a clean and modern look (like me). It's a bright, minimalist space just a few steps from some of the best restaurants, shopping, and activities in the metro and tons of parking available. The front windows let lots of natural light into the space, while the pendant lighting in the venue allows for a warm and moody feel. The moveable wall (which includes a plain white side, and a greenery side, depending on your preference) can be adjusted to divide the room or act as a backdrop that fits any size wedding day. The couples lounge is AMAZING as well, with the cutest mural of historical wedding photos that is such a fun getting ready backdrop. Can't say ENOUGH good things about VOWS, but highly recommend you check it out in person. I can't wait to shoot a wedding for future clients here!

My husband and I only have good things to say about choosing Baqara for our wedding venue. It is a beautiful venue inside and outside and we loved that we were able to have both the ceremony and reception in one place. Yvette is truly remarkable at what she does. She listened to what we wanted, gave ideas when we weren’t sure what we wanted, was available to answer questions throughout the whole planning process and she took the reigns on wedding day to ensure we got to enjoy every moment of our special day. If we had our wedding all over again we would still choose Baqara!
