We were married at The Oaks 10/31/09 and it was perfect from the moment we decided on the Oaks in March until we left the morning after the wedding. The service and responsiveness is 5 star. Sarah, Candi, Susan and Nicole are so sweet, kind, helpful and knowledgeable. ALL of my guests said it was the BEST wedding they had... more

I got married here last summer. It's a very pretty setting and the price is quite reasonable. The food is also very good. It's fair to say that the rooms are SHABBY. This is not a luxury hotel, but it is a nice setting and the food is great. Although I had a lovely wedding with good food at a... more

I am the current General Manager and Wedding Coordinator here at The Oaks. Heather has not worked here for over a year and a half, though during the 9 years she was at The Oaks, she received many fabulous reviews and compliments. As this bride mentioned we have an exceptionally beautiful setting, reasonable prices and renowned food. We pride ourselves...

As a mother, your final gift to your daughter is her wedding. With this being said, nothing less than perfect is acceptable. From Susan's initial smile and tour of the facilities, to Candi's graciousness, to Erin's calming demeanor, to Chef Paul and his culinary staff, to the attentiveness of Carla and the entire wait staff - everything surpassed our expectations... more

I got married at The Oaks this past weekend, and it was AWESOME!! The staff (Candi, Susan, Erin, Sarah and Carla) went above and beyond to exceed our expectations. Erin was very responsive on top of each and every detail, which made my job much easier. Chef Paul blew our guests away with the incredible meal he perpared-people raved all... more

The Oaks in Royal Oak Md. is 5 minutes from beautiful St. Michaels, a charming village on the Chesapeake Bay, Md. Our daughter and her husband recently held their wedding at the Oaks, and we have used it also for weekend getaways. It is a fairytale setting, with a perfect staff and 5 star food every day at a reasonable... more

Our daughter's wedding at The Oaks was perfect. The venue is relaxing and provides an opportunity for the wedding party, family and friends to gather for the entire week-end. The staff offers a personal touch throughout the experience, and is especially attentive during the ceremony and reception. Set-up of our specific details of the reception (e.g. candy buffet, place cards... more

Upon arrival the the Oaks Inn we had homemade cookies and wine waiting for us. Our room was beautiful with a waters view. We woke in the morning to a complimentary gourmet breakfast.. again overlooking the water.... then we were out on the grounds for adventure. The dock provids a great view with canoes, bikes, shuffle board and a pool!!... more

I don't know how anyone could suggest The Oaks has bad service. My husband and I were married on May 17th, 2008 at The Oaks and absolutly thrilled the level of service we received from Heather, Michaela, Susan and the rest of the staff at The Oaks. (Both in planning and running our wedding and hosting our guests) Our friends... more

The Oaks is in a lovely location and the high end rooms are nice however the service is terrible! The staff acted annoyed at every request - not the typical bed and breakfast experience. We spent over $300 a night and have received better service at Holiday Inn. more

At the Oaks we host wedding receptions almost every weekend. Typically, the bride and groom will assign rooms to their guests. I remember this particular gentlemen because he was very angry at check-in and commented that he would prefer to stay at the Holiday Inn because he did not want to spend that much for a room. The bride had...

We stayed at the The Oaks recently for a weekend wedding. It served as a great location for the wedding. All of the wedding events including the rehearsal dinner took place at the inn. The inn and grounds are very picturesque. The room was adequate. Since this is an older inn, some things are a bit worn but that is... more
