We absolutely loved having our wedding at Shady Oaks! Our wedding package included the wedding cake, onsite catering, DJ, decorated reception hall, and wedding coordinator. Nancy was our coordinator and she did a fabulous job! She was extremely professional, flexible, and easy to work with. For any items not included within the package, she was able to provide excellent recommendations such as our minister, Rev. Law, whom everyone loved. She genuinely cared about us and did everything she could to make sure we had the wedding of our dreams. Our first dance was a choreographed Viennese Waltz, and Nancy was more than happy to let us come in during off hours to practice in the reception hall. She was always willing to stay late so that we could meet in the evenings after work. On the day of the wedding, she is with you from the moment you arrive until the last guest has left to ensure that your wedding goes according to plan and that you have a stress free day. Shady Oaks was exactly what we were looking for in a wedding venue. Our guests loved the quaint white chapel and the beautifully decorated reception hall that was just a short walk away. We didn’t have any issues with parking, as there was ample space provided for all of our guests. The food and catering service were excellent, and our guests really enjoyed the wonderful cake provided by Lindy’s! Our DJ, Paul, was fantastic, entertaining the crowd and keeping the party moving. We wanted an extra special touch, so Nancy recommended a horse and carriage entrance, which chauffeured the bride and her father from the bridal room to the chapel for a grand entrance. If you’re looking for a budget friendly wedding, you should definitely check out Shady Oaks. The prices are excellent for anyone looking to keep their costs down while still experiencing a fantastic wedding!

Shady Oaks was the perfect venue for our daughters wedding, and Lynne, our coordinator from Contemporary Party Connections (CPC), made it all happen in less than six weeks. We had just started planning an April 2016 wedding when we had need to move up the wedding date to early November 2015. We had already contacted a dozen venues, including Shady Oaks, and were thrilled/relieved that they had a date that would work for us. Lynne had affordable packages that combined exactly what we needed (for us, ceremony and reception with cake, punch and light appetizers), DJ, cake, and referred us to great vendors for the few things she didnt handle directly. We loved that Shady Oaks had a place for both outdoor and indoor ceremonies. Our daughter chose the outdoor covered Cathedral and even in light rain, it was just right. The reception hall was beautifully decorated (Lynne has loads of options to choose from). The DJ, Paul, helped our daughter and son in law pick great music for their country/rustic wedding ceremony and kept the guests dancing during the reception. Lynne walked us through all the steps we needed to take/decisions that needed to be made. There were no surprises - nothing forgotten; no unexpected expenses. The wedding and reception flowed smoothly and weve received so many comments from family and other guests on what a lovely event it was. I had read the good reviews before contacting Shady Oaks and they were right on target. Our daughter said it was outstanding. From her, that is high praise indeed!

Horrible, When me and my Fiance and mother were looking for a venue we came here. Outside is beautiful but inside is very outdated and smells old. We then sat down to talk to the lady and everything seemed ok. Price was right all seemed okay we were willing to deal with the outdated for what seemed to be good service. So last question can we use our own cake baker. Straight up said no must use there baker. I said well sorry but my aunt is a baker and she is going to bake our wedding cake as a gift. She then said well she will need to make a sample cake so I can taste and see if it is nice. I said she lives in New York and is flying in from the wedding. She then said well she cant come earlier enough!!! I said you know what thank you very much but this is not the place for us!!!!!! She had some nerve!!! Then a few days later she tried to call us saying OOo I talked to someone and you can use your own cake. I put her straight to voicemail I was not dealing with her. Outrageous !!! They need to understand this is the bride and grooms day not theres. They also seem way to involved they should just be a venue not all up in the details. STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!! Townhall Texas is around the same price all included in Conroe, TX and beautiful venue great customer service !!!!!!

STAY FAR FAR AWAY. This place is EXTREMELY outdated. I booked this thinking it was going to be the perfect place for my wedding.The farther into it the more concerned I got. I wrote Lynne a letter with my concerns and she responded via e-mail stating that if I wanted to change my venue they would refund my money. When we decided to go somewhere else getting my money back was torture. Lynne kept giving me the run around and saying I may not get it all back. She also proceeded to tell me that I was the ONLY person in over 13 years with 300-400 wedding per year that had ever been unhappy. Which is not realistic. She was extremely rude and unprofessional. They are cheap, but YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. ITS TERRIBLE. In response to the comment above we did orginally fall in love with Shady Oaks. We did go to several places, and thought this was the place for us. It was not until all of the smaller details came out that I found out the truth of everything. At that point Lynnes true colors came out as well. I still have the EXTREMELY rude and unprofessional e-mails that I recievd from her. I asked to make a few minor changes and she was unwilling to work with me at all.

Lynn was terrible. I was so excited to get married here because when my brother was married there it was beautiful and rhe loved Nancy. We were stuck wirh lynn. She was rude and in helpful. We had issues with both of their cake people and had to make our own. She continued to tell myself and my wedding party we could not do things the way we wanted. They made it sound like they would provide decore however we liked but when it came to planning Supplies was limited and we still had to buy stuff of our own to make things complete. She was not there to let us in the bridal room. She disappeared and did not unlock thw church until 15 minutes before the wedding. She forgot to tell my dad to come get me from thw brides room when the wedding started. She was rude to my family and guests. Everyone on my wedding party along with videographer and photographer all asked what her issue was and why she was so rude. She told multiple people I was being difficult and it was our fault. This woman should be fired. I will be complaining to who ever will listen.

My husband and I had the PERFECT wedding, and it was all thanks to the ladies of Shady oaks and contemporary party connection. Nancy was my coordinator. She went above and beyond her duties the entire time. She was like a magical wedding elf that ran around like crazy making everything perfect. I didnt have to worry about ANYTHING. They took care of it all. So, on my wedding day I was able to just go with the flow and have the time of my life. You will not regret having your wedding or reception at shady oaks. They are some of the nicest people Ive ever met, and at the most affordable prices. I know because I went to EVERY single wedding hall place in the north houston area all the way out to conroe. I chose shady oaks because, A. their prices were the most affordable and B. they were the nicest and most enthusiastic people. Nancy helped make my dream wedding com true. I feel like shes my aunt or something after all the happy times we spent together.
