Allissa Sent on 05/06/2024Amazing, stress free, and beautiful!
Our wedding was this past weekend and I cannot thank Elaine and her staff enough for how beautiful our wedding was. The communication and assistance from the very beginning was amazing. They guided us the whole way. We did the big package and barely had to lift a finger for planning and that made a huge difference for us with 3 kids and two full time jobs. Their expertise is apparent in everything they do. I 1000% recommend them and wouldn’t change a thing!Kindred Oaks's reply:
Allissa and David,
This is so, so appreciated!! Thank you so much for taking the time to review us. I couldn't be more thrilled that you had the wedding of your dreams. We love what we do but only because of folks like y'all. Thank you for being a standout from beginning to end!!

Wedding made easy
Long overdue review! My husband and I got married at kindred oaks in March. We decided to do their all inclusive packaging which made planning a wedding in 9 months that much easier. Elaine and her team were quick to respond to emails, answer any questions, and calm concerns. The separated dance floor and reception space allowed for different groups of people to congregate where they get comfortable, and the twinkling lights helped to make the space feel magical. To add, the team really does work together well. The team at zuzu’s was able to put to life my floral vision and Donna made sure my wedding ran smoothly. I highly recommend anyone to have their wedding here.Kindred Oaks's reply:
Hi Danielle!!!!
Thank you so much for this review and please know it is all the more sweeter when I know that 6 months later, you are still reminiscing over those sweet memories. Donna is always a dream and honestly, so were you and David. We treasured our experience with your laid back selves so thank you again from all of us, for a lovely note.
Blessings to you both!

John Sent on 10/21/2022Amazing venue!
My now wife and I recently had our wedding at Kindred Oaks and we can't recommend this place enough. Kindred Oaks was the first venue we looked at and we loved it at first visit. We did our due diligence and checked out several other locations but they didn't come close to being as special for us.
We're both pretty poor planners and were overwhelmed with the idea of planning a wedding for our ~85 guests but Elaine and her team really do make it easy. We went with their all-inclusive package which covers A LOT of the heavy lifting. For anything not included, Kindred Oaks has plenty of recommendations and will keep you accountable to make sure things are getting done.
As for the special day itself, no one wanted it to end. Our guests couldn't stop raving how beautiful the whole night was with the twinkle lights, the floral designs and the outdoor vibe in October.
5 out of 5!Kindred Oaks's reply:
John and Emmie,
Isn't it fun to get to say "my wife"?! :D Thank you for all of these reviews! I think you did an amazing job of planning around a baby and life in general and it all came out just beautiful. I am so happy that the package proved to be so helpful for you all. It was so fun just getting to watch you and your sweet family get to sit back and enjoy the day and what a day it turned out to be! Thank you again!!

Ashley Sent on 10/13/2022Amazing venue
This was the perfect place to get married! They have several ceremony locations and a backup in case the weather takes a turn. We got married at Lincoln Chapel (HIGHLY recommended) and had our reception under the pavilion. They even have a playground for the little ones that was a huge hit. The wooden LOVE sign is the perfect place for couples/families to take pictures and the dance floor was lit up with some beautiful hanging lights. The flow of the venue is absolutely perfect with plenty of space to eat, drink, and be married!Kindred Oaks's reply:
Hi Ashley and Kyle!
You both are amazing! Thank you so much for blessing our crew with not only with your kindness throughout these past months but these reviews are icing on the cake. And oh my gosh, I LOVE these pictures and can't wait to see more. It's such an incredible honor to have families come back over the years and have their own unique experience here so we are truly thankful that you had a life changing event of your own. Thank you!!! - Elaine -

Venue is BEAUTIFUL. Elaine and Julie were incredible with helping to make our Wedding amazing. The venue is breathtaking and the staff was always helpful. We highly recommend stopping by for open houses to imagine/plan your special day! We did a wedding (Texas) package and it was worth every penny as they take great care in the details of what you want from a wedding as a couple! The staff guided us thru decisions and kept us on schedule. The results will live in our hearts for the rest of our lives. Josh and Kaye Happily Married 09/17/22 ❤️Kindred Oaks's reply:
IT's so fun to already see some pictures from Paul! Thank you guys for spreading the love to us and the team - I'll definitely let each of them know you offered up such great reviews and I'm completely thrilled the package was such a life saver. Love those things! All the best to you both; y'all were an absolute dream to work with!

Cole C. Sent on 04/20/2022The BEST venue for a stress free wedding day
Kindred Oaks is an amazing venue. Their packaging options make your wedding day stress free. I had heard it before our wedding but it definitely rings true when they say that you literally will feel like you are forgetting something. They take care of EVERYTHING in the Texas Package and the venue itself is gorgeous. If it rains and your ceremony is outside? No worries! They will just move it to the beautiful reception area inside! Don't like one location on the property? No worries! You can pick from one of the other multiple location options. I can't say enough about it, the open house events give you a great idea of what you can expect. The attentiveness of the staff make you feel reassured that everything is going to workout great. And the pricing to have everything done is outstanding. The flower shop is on the same property, the caterer is part of the package, the DJ can be part of the package, the day of planner is part of the package, the bartender is part of the package (although I will say that if you are the groom and have friends like mine that would like to drink in the parking lot while waiting for the ceremony, they will get on you about it. Even though all the girls are popping bottles in the dressing room, the GUYS get threatened to be cutoff of the alcohol they purchased before the event even starts.... we had ONE beer in the parking lot 4 hours before the event and got a talking to.) Other than that one gripe we had, everything is included except your choice of photographer, officiant, and the cake! Everything else is taken care of and you just pick your options! If you're like us and didn't want to have to deal with stressing over finding all the different people for your event, this is the place to go. If you do however, want to individually pick everyone you want, this is still the perfect venue to do it at! We are now the third couple we know of between work and friends who have been married here and we will definitely be recommending it to others.Kindred Oaks's reply:
Hi Cole & Amber!!
Thank you so much for such a wonderful description of your experience here! I really appreciate the time you took for a very real look at our place. I'm the one who came to chat with you in the parking lot and I appreciate the moment to just say that I get it. We really try to be forthcoming about the expectation there. We even talk about not drinking in the parking lot (so others don't think they can do the same) but we definitely said you guys could pop those same beers in the house and keep them in the fridge. But again, I do get it and I appreciate you laying that out there. I'll try to be extra careful not to dampen the mood.
I'm beyond happy that you all had a great time and that you felt stress free! That is our ultimate desire with the packages and choices within. Thank you both again from the bottom of my heart; y'all were a dream and I'd have you out every week if I could! - Elaine -

Best Venue EVER!!!
My husband and I got married at Kindred Oaks on 12/18/21 and to say it was the most magical, perfect day is an understatement. We booked with KO back in 2020 knowing we had a lot of time to plan out everything exactly how we wanted, and over those 2 years Elaine always made sure we felt seen and heard. We walked away from every conversation feeling confident and happy. Elaine always remembered our names and that we wanted a Christmas wedding - live Christmas trees were super important for us. Elaine worked with Heather at Zuzu's to create our ideal winter wonderland wedding. On the actual day - it rained. I was a wreck, of course. But Elaine kept me calm, hugged me when I cried, and was there for my every need. The KO staff had a plan B already set up and ready to go, but allowed me to make the final call only 2 hours before the ceremony was set to begin - they truly made me feel so special and HEARD! Of course there were also a few things that went wrong during the wedding, but Elaine and Julie were there to jump in and take care of it all! I highly recommend buying the mini day-of coordinator if you do not go with their All Inclusive Package. I love this venue and I love these people. I will forever recommend this place to any and all future brides. I will be grateful and cherish my memories of Kindred Oaks for all of my years -

My wedding at Kindred Oaks turned out absolutely perfect. Elaine and her crew were so sweet and helpful, and made sure that everything ran smoothly, from the timing to the vendor coordination.Kindred Oaks's reply:

Elaine and her team are absolute professionals! They have most everything covered when you book Kindred Oaks. As a bride during COVID, I didn’t want to have to worry about much of anything and if you go with this venue, your prayers are answered! The only real decisions you make on your own is finding an officiant, getting a cake and transportation really. Everything else is taken care of in the Texas Package. My wedding ran seamlessly. Elaine and her team have it down to a mad science to where the bride and groom get to really enjoy themselves and their guests. The venue itself is so romantic and having Zuzu Petals on site makes it even easier when picking out your florals. I would recommend Kindred Oaks a million times. You won’t be disappointed!Kindred Oaks's reply:
Amy & Rick,
Thank you both so, so much for this review and for your selection of words; y'all were definitely an answer to our own prayers , so thank you for being such a blessing to us. Not only a beautiful event, but a FUN one, too!
I'm thrilled to know the packages made the planning fun and easy but still very much YOU, especially during covid.
Thank y'all again!!!
Elaine and the whole Kindred Oaks & Zuzu's Petals team! -

Wedding date: 05.23.2021
My husband and I booked our venue from states away without seeing the venue in person until 2 months before our wedding. I would highly recommend this venue to all my friends and family members. Elaine and her staff are so kind and enthusiastic when handling all your wedding needs. When looking for a venue I was torn between two places and I am so happy I made the choice for KO! I am still constantly receiving compliments about the venue's beauty. I was a very frantic bride because it rained all week and on my wedding day. The rain would only stop here and there. I had to choose to risk it for the outside ceremony of my dreams or plan B. Let me tell you guys, plan B was gorgeous! I can remember walking down the aisle with my dad and hearing the rain pour on the roof. What a beautiful sound! Make sure you guys love the plan B as much as plan A! I also loved that you can rent linen from the venue, which made it less stressful. Another wonderful thing about this venue is that you really do not need a lot of décor due to the natural beauty of the venue itself. If you still are on the fence about choosing KO go for a tour! Tell them Garrett and Corybelle sent you (:Kindred Oaks's reply:
Corybelle & Garrett,
Y'all have no idea how special this review is to me. Thank you for addressing the rain and I'm just so blessed and grateful that you loved your plan B - because it was gorgeous and so were YOU! I thought you guys were a dream and your photos are absolutely stunning! Thank you, thank you!

Laura O. Sent on 05/14/2021Magical in Every Way!
After deciding to move our wedding from a backyard event to a venue, we immediately fell in love with Kindred Oaks after making an appointment and touring the property. It was the only venue we looked at for our wedding and we knew we had picked the right spot. The day of the event was so magical. Everyone that we came into contact with from the Kindred Oaks team was so friendly, accommodating, and welcoming. With having to host so many events day in and day out, Elaine and the rest of the team made us feel like we were the only bride and groom they worked with. In addition to the wonderful people who helped us, the property itself is absolutely stunning. Our wedding truly did feel like a fairy tale. The bridal suite created the perfect environment to get ready for the big day, and all of the nature around the property created a beautiful and ethereal atmosphere. Dancing with my husband on the dance floor under the lights made me feel like I was dancing under a shower of shooting stars. I could go on and one about how wonderful this venue is. Take my word for it, this is the one to choose!Kindred Oaks's reply:
Laura & Luis,
Thank you again for sharing the love with your reviews!! This just makes my day and we're so happy you felt all those goosebumpy type of emotions on your beautiful day. Keep those memories close!!

Kindred Oaks is the absolute best! The venue is incredibly well kept, has a dozen gorgeous spots for your big day, and Elaine and her team are amazing with their communication and support the whole way up to the wedding. We got married on April 24th 2021 and it was beyond perfect. They even have an onsite B&B that you can stay at if you'd like to skip the post-wedding travel. The bridal suite was perfect for our party of 6 to get ready in, and the preferred vendors that Elaine suggested were all wonderful to work with. Highly recommend!Kindred Oaks's reply:
Thank you Hillary! I just realized you left us this one, too. You're amazing and thank you for letting so many people know about your experience here. We adored you guys and thought y'all brought the best team so thank you! Elaine -

Super helpful team and beautiful venue!
Let me start off by saying I could not be happier with the experience my husband and I had with Kindred Oaks. Right from the jump when we first toured the venue, Elaine and her team were extremely informative and helpful to us being a young couple who had no idea how to plan a wedding! Throughout the entire process they were so kind and helpful with any questions we had and always responded quickly. The property is absolutely gorgeous and accommodating, and the scenery and trees surrounding it make it even more magical. I fell in love with the venue the first day we saw it and just knew we had to have our wedding there, it was perfect. All in all our experience with Kindred Oaks and their team was phenomenal and we are so happy we selected them, they truly made our wedding experience amazing!Kindred Oaks's reply:
Dear Alejandra & Jacob,
Isn't it fun to get to say "husband" now?! Thank you both for this lovely review! I thought you did an outstanding job of creating a beautiful wedding and your family and guests loved it. We so appreciate this vote of favor so thank you and we sure wish you both the very best!!

There are no words to describe the amazing treatment my family and I received. From start to finish, Elaine, Heather, Elaine's husband, THE ENTIRE STAFF was HEAVEN sent. I got married Feb 25th 2021, so yes, it was covid season. We all had the best time of our lives. That day Elaine and her staff did everything and anything you can think of to make sure everything went perfect. Honestly, I can't stretch anymore how amazing these wonderful people are. Their presence and spirit is everything!! So clean and beautiful that place was. You MUST book with them if you want a fairytale wedding. That was one of the best decisions, I've ever made. They will not disappoint. The property speaks for itself it's so beautiful! I want to get married to my husband over and over again just so we can do it there. Also take the advice from them when choosing vendors!!! The whole experience was amazing thanks to Karen and her team at Kindred Oaks!!!Kindred Oaks's reply:
Asia and Royal,
Thank you so much for this incredible review! We loved you and your children and will always cherish you guys!

This venue is amazing! The outdoor archway with a view of the river, the gorgeous green landscape, the outdoor dance floor surrounded in twinkling lights, the fireplaces in the reception hall making it feel so cozy and intimate. I highly recommend visiting this venue, because I guarantee it will take your breath away.
A beautiful venue alone, wasn't it though. Elaine and everyone else who works here worked so hard to make sure we knew everything we needed to know and answered all of our questions super fast. My wedding would not have gone as smoothly without their help and kindnessKindred Oaks's reply:
Aww! Thank you so much Kelsey! You are so sweet to speak so kindly of us, and your experience. This is exactly what our goal is for every event we do, we just want our couples to feel taken care of! We wish you nothing but happiness going forward! Thank you for sharing such a special day with us!

Elaine and team were so great to work with.

They were easy to work with, gracious, and you can really tell they love what they do and are proud of their venue!Kindred Oaks's reply:

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Kindred Oaks in May of 2019. Elaine and the rest of the staff were awesome! During the whole process they were reachable and responsive. My husband and I are from the Northeast so we used their all inclusive wedding package. The venue does not needing too much extra decor and is beautiful on it's own. Our special day was absolutely gorgeous and our friends and families had a blast! All of our guests raved about how the gorgeous and unique the venue was. The day of Elaine was onsite and made sure that we didn't have to worry about things going smoothly. Our whole experience was made less stressful and at the end of the day we knew we made the right decision with KO!Kindred Oaks's reply:
What a fun review to get to respond to, because this one marks number 100!! So thank you from the deepest places in our heart for being such a gracious couple and extending this gift to us. Y'all are awesome and we can't wait to visit with you again on a return trip!
