We loved working with the Bur Oak for our wedding! The staff were fantastic and great to work with. They quickly handled any issues that came up day-of; the bartenders were absolutely fantastic and incredibly kind. Planning was very easy with them. They were very communicative with us and quickly responded to any questions we had. They even let us view the event space additional times when we needed design ideas for our wedding. They made sure everything ran very smoothly day-of and were a pleasure to work with. The event space was gorgeous and they did an incredible job with making sure the event ran smoothly with every guests' needs getting met. We loved the different layout options available and recommend the downstairs cellar as additional space.

Bur Oak has a great stage and they host an open mic on the last Monday of the month; the host Sky Crowe is an excellent host and there were many other performers present. Bur Oak has many live shows throughout the month and the staff is very thoughtful and nice.

A great small venue, some very interesting acts, great bar staff. Kudos for whoever is going the event planning. Lots of variety. We have so enjoyed Joel Paterson on guitar and The Taxman Beatles tribute band. Keep carrying the NA beers!

We had our wedding at The Bur Oak in October. It was absolutely perfect! Jenny was amazing and so responsive/helpful throughout the entire process. We used the lower level for our cocktail hour and the added on bridal suite as well.
