From the reviews
I’ll start by saying the venue and staff were a pleasure to work with during the entire process. I wanted a place that was pretty inclusive but also let me put my own spin on things. I chose right. The oaks is a beautiful venue and I’m very glad I chose this location.
When I was first looking for venues near New Orleans, I had the Oaks as the last venue on our list. The first thing that my wife and I were looking for was something with a reasonable price. That they had. They were immediately more communicative on the Knot than a lot of the other places were talking to.
My son and daughter in law were married here in early February. I can’t express enough how wonderful it was. The facility is beautiful and gave me good bumps every-time I walked in. Missy was so helpful and patient.
Best decision we ever made!! We got married at The Oaks Wedding Venue on 2/21/26, and I truly cannot say enough amazing things about this place. From the very moment I booked the venue to our final exit that night, everything was absolutely beautiful and perfect for me.
Getting married at The Oaks Wedding & Events Center
The Oaks Wedding & Events Center comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
Corporate events & private parties at The Oaks Wedding & Events Center
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at The Oaks Wedding & Events Center — barn venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
