Seven Oaks helped to make our wedding experience incredible. Compared to other venues we looked at, they included so much that made our day easier. We were thrilled to be able to have our rehearsal, ceremony, and reception all in one place along with an amazing set-up for getting ready the morning of. Their flexibility and customization for the set-up, bar, catering, and photography also made planning so much fun. With their help, we were able to make our wedding day feel like a true representation of us as a couple. I highly recommend Seven Oaks to any couple in the planning process.

The Rewind was the perfect location for our reception. The staff was so easy to work with and was very responsive to everything. The food was wonderful. The presidential suit was the perfect place for the girls to get ready and for the bridal party to hangout while we did couple photos. They had many items that we were able to use, meaning we had to bring less decorations. We also had our rehearsal dinner at The Rewind. They set up everything and it was beautiful. I only have good things to say about my experience with The Rewind!!

Super helpful coordinators. We had the ceremony and reception here and it was perfect for a small to medium wedding. They have center pieces to rent and they set up all the tables and linens so you have virtually no set up to do at the venue. You can’t hang stuff on the walls but the space so so beautiful and decorated already so you don’t really need much. The food was delicious also.
