OHEKA CASTLE

Having our wedding at Oheka Castle was truly a dream come true. The natural beauty of the castle is by itself breathtaking. The quality of the food, service, and caring nature of every staff member created a night that people will be talking about for decades!

They made our wedding day feel like a fairytale. They are expensive...and the add-on are extremely pricey. It was worth every penny.

There are not enough good things to say about Oheka Castle. Not only is it a picturesque and absolute dream venue, but the Melius family who owns it and all of the staff that work there are extremely nice and helpful. They went above and beyond to make our experience the perfect day that it was. Our event went outside of the box of what they normally do, but they were extremely helpful in making our vision become a reality.

Oheka is a splurge to be sure, but the photos that you'll have of the magnificent grounds and gorgeous architecture in your wedding album make it truly priceless. Not only were our guests blown away by the venue from the moment they drove up that dramatic, tree-lined entryway, but everyone raved about the food from cocktail hour to the decadent dessert buffet. The Oheka staff are consummate professionals who helped make the day run smoothly and took extra attentive care of myself and my groom (we each got an attendant who was there to get us anything we needed—a glass of water, help bustling my gown—all day; they stayed with us through photos, made sure we were where we needed to be on time, and collected and packed everything we brought to the venue, ensuring nothing got left behind). They truly take care of their brides and grooms—they brought us plates of everything served during cocktail hour in a private room while our guests were being seated, and had plates of dinner and dessert waiting for us in our bridal suite so we could focus on mingling with our guests but didn't go hungry! We also loved that the venue had hotel rooms, so our closest family and friends could stay over and join us for a brunch the next day. The rooms are just as lavish as the rest of the estate and the beds are incredibly comfortable. The only potential downsides (aside from the cost) is that the venue is a bit laissez faire up until a week before the wedding—no one will reach out to you for tastings or appointments, so you need to be proactive—and that the hotel and estate operate independently of each other, so you need to be the middleman between them. Otherwise, I would highly recommend Oheka as a wedding venue—they helped make my wedding a total dream come true!

Oheka Castle made my dream wedding come true and allowed my husband and I to have an amazing stress free time at our wedding! My bridal attendant Kathy took care of EVERYTHING so perfectly. The way they organized everything made the night flow perfectly. They even took my husband and I aside in between the cocktail hour and reception so that we could eat some of the cocktail food and have a few minutes to ourselves. At the end of the night we were both so hungry and to our suprise they had brought up samples of food from dinner and dessert to our room! Our guest were completly wowed by the venue and we have even recevied cards from our guest letting us know how amazing our wedding was! Thank you Oheka!

AMAZING!!!!!!!!! Oheka went ABOVE and BEYOND all I could have ever expected and imagined. Guest are STILL talking about my wedding. Everyone couldnt believe how GORGEOUS Oheka is and how DELICIOUS the food was. QUALITY and SERVICE is a 10! The assistant they provided me with NEVER left my side and helped me the ENTIRE evening! OHEKA is by far the BEST! If you want a dream wedding, Oheka is the place to have it!

Absolutely amazing is all I can say. Our wedding was a dream come true. Once we selected all of the vendors, the coordinator took over and ensured the day of everything was in order. We didn't have to worry about anything but ourselves. The food presentation and taste were fabulous; don't worry about their policy regarding tasting as you will not be disappointed. We've been married almost a year and friends and family are still talking about our wedding. Highly recommend this venue...You definitely get what you pay for!!

The most amazing venue and people. The wedding was everything I hoped and dreamed of and more. From the ceremony, to the cocktail hour food and service, to the reception and the most magnificent wedding cake you can dream of. It was like living in a fantasy!

The food was spectacular! The grounds were beautiful (even though it rained on my day). The white glove service is a nice touch and the rooms for the guests were immaculate. During the reception, a few guests had to ask the waiters where their plates were?! I guess they forgot to serve them BUT they were very prompt to ammend the situation. Oheka is a beautiful venue through and through and no bride can be unhappy about having their wedding there!

I just have to say 2 things. I wish Oheka would have taken the food my husband and I couldn't eat during the wedding and have it delivered to our room, because we were STARVED!! We paid for all this great food and didn't get a chance to eat it. Also we got the wrong cake tier. We were looking forward to the 24K gold.

It was a dream come true... Rick was amazing to work with. Food was superb. The 2 cons for me were.. My bridal attendant, I wanted to have my maid of honor bustle my dress fix my dress accompany me around for pictures. This woman was relentless and I do feel like I missed out on some of the days festivities because she was ordering me around. Didn't like that at all. Also I paid for the hot breakfast the next day and for an omelet chef for 2 hours. I came down 1 hour into breakfast and there was NO omelet station or chef. I SAID SOMETHING AND THEY BROUGHT ONE OUT, BUT NO APOLOGY OR REFUND FOR their mistake. Oh well, our wedding was gorgeous and I would still have it there all over again I would just tell the attendant to back off it is MY DAY!

Words cannot describe what a wonderful wedding we had, Kelly and John were absolutely amazing. Our guests were blown away and still to date talk about it. The coordination John provided to our DJ with the meals as well as all the introductions/speeches and dances were on point . All our pictures came out perfect thanks to John’s direction to our photographer as well. I think the best part, other than the food , was that my fiancée and I actually spent more time enjoying ourselves with our guests than having to worry about anything since all the basics were covered thanks to the amazing staff. Our personal assistants were the highlight of our evening as they not only ensured a worry-free event but kept us calm and full of champagne reminding us to relax and enjoy our big day. The service was impeccable and our wedding was a day I will never forget and will always look back fondly thanks to Oheka.


I almost want to get married again to relive my experience! Maybe renew our vows in a few years =)

Amazing location! It's a shame you (should) only get married once!! My husband and I have already agreed that we need to celebrate an anniversary there. I would just love to be invited to a wedding there!

The staff were very helpful once it had been passed down to the admin team. The sales management people are sometimes a bit unresponsive - but once you get hold of them - they can answer any and every question/request that you might have.

They do absolutely everything possible to make your day perfect! They've thought of it all and have it all taken care of. So many little details that I forgot and probably didn't even notice because it was taken care of! The management take personal responsibility for your day.

I have re-lived this day many times in my head and I believe that part of what made it soo perfect was this venue. They also catered and made the cake as well. The selection is wonderful and they do cater to special requests! I got a whole new station added! The cake was more beautiful than ever and fared well after being frozen for 1 year!

Highly...

We had our wedding reception at OHEKA Castle. The Pros/Cons were as follows:
Cons:
-Response times to our phone and email questions were sub-optimal
-We had requested that OHEKA incorporate a Mexican food station into our cocktail hour to honor the groom’s heritage. It was a struggle to get them to finally deliver on this aspect
-Delayed and confusing response on upgrade options including drinks and food
-Unprofessional behavior and attitude from accounting department
-OHEKA really needs to provide the bride and groom with a complete (not incomplete) wedding planning package from day one (perhaps a website). It was very confusing and time consuming to ask for information and paperwork throughout the whole process (and multiple times we received conflicting/outdated forms)

Pros:
-Delivered a beautiful event-all of our guests were impressed
-Worked with us on extending our cocktail hour when our guests on buses arrived late
-Delivered on Mexican food station-food was good!

I had the best day of my life at Oheka. Everything was amazing. The location and beauty of the castle goes without saying, but also the food was delicious and the service was outstanding. Our cake was not only delicious, but absolutely beautiful. The bride and groom attendants are so helpful and really help make the day relaxing. We had a day of coordinator, which was really unnecessary because Oheka had everything covered. The staff are so pleasant to work with-very down to earth and accommodating. Guests said this was the best wedding they've ever been to. It's a pricy place, but if you can handle the cost it is well worth it.

The Oheka Castle is just that A CASTLE, a place where your wedding will be transformed into a Royal event. When looking for a Reception Venue with great food, service and Spectacular views contact the OHEKA Castle at 631-659-1400

Oheka Castle, a place we will never forget! We loved it, everything about it. The staff made our wedding day memorable. They provided amazing service the day of your wedding. Kept us calm, fed and happy from the time we arrived until the very end. The details they provide to you keep you smiling throughout the entire day. If there are delays, or drizzle from the rain, they were prepared and ready to provide the perfect service. This was our WEDDING PLACE. If you marry there it is an experience you will never forget. The cakes they offer are amazing. The taste is phenomenal. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you Oheka!

This was the most fantastic location, especially in the nice weather. The outdoor features of Oheka are breathtaking. Many people at my wedding commented that they felt they were in a Jane Austen movie. They brought the lawn furniture out for the cocktail hour and people were lounging on beautiful cushioned chairs. Champagne was flowing. I had a bridal attendant fixed my hair when it need to be, she held my make-up, ran up to my room when my feet started to hurt to grab my flats, she reminded me to eat and got me food. My husband had an equally attentive attendant for himself.
The food was particularly awesome. My bosses and work friends are foodies and they are not complimentary when they don't mean it and they were still talking about the food when I returned from my honeymoon. They are the type of people who assume that there will never be good food at a wedding. They were surprised to be impressed.
There are 32 rooms, which is very convenient. It is nice not to be obligated to shuttle people to another hotel. They also have a great brunch the day after the wedding.
If it is in your budget I wouldnt think twice about having your wedding at Oheka. In my estimation nothing compares and you can cut costs elswhere.

They were absolutely wonderful. We truly were able to enjoy every minute of our wedding because they were always thinking one step ahead of us. I couldn't say there was one thing I would change about my wedding day and it was because of the helpful staff at Oheka. Eveyone is there to make sure your day is perfect.

I can not say enough about this place and the staff. The place is beautiful but its really the service you experience there that make this place so spectacular. We were married on site and basically arrived at 9 a.m. and had the place for the day. Everyone on staff at Oheka was amazing, they really took care of every detail. The wedding itself was perfect. We are still getting complements on the service and food. The bridal suite is huge, and a great place to spend the day. There are about 30 rooms on site which are all unqiue and your overnight guests wil be truly impressed. We also had a jazz hour in the library room after the wedding which was blast and our guests seemed to really enjoy it. You will not be disappointed.

An absolutely astonishing location. Great accomodations. The rooms were a little on the pricey side but the staff was well equiped to accomodate any wish. The venue had a set process of booking and if it wasnt followed exactly some confusion would arise but all in all they were very flexible and quick to respond. For the type of venue (Castle Style Wedding) the price was great!!! Provided the cocktail hour catering with great station selection and the food was top notch. They have an in house cake designer who designed a cake that all the guests are still talking about. Cannot be compared to any other venue I have ever been to.

Wonderful family based business to work with. They give you the personalized attention you deserve. The grounds are amazing and the food is delicious!

This place was great! My pictures are beautiful, and all of our guests were very happy!

Elegant. Extravagent. Very Accommodating and personal with all clients and guests.

If you want a phenomenal wedding this is the place to have it!

You would be hard-pressed to find a better wedding venue than Oheka Castle. New York Orchestras Entertainment performs there more than any other company and we can attest to their high standards.
