BOLI Love!
The absolute perfect venue choice. Day wedding, continuous cocktail hour, amazing food and drinks, and they treated us like royalty from start to finish. Jimmy the owner and Jon the maitre’d went above and beyond. Our guests are raving about all aspects of the day.
We had the wedding of our dreams thanks to Jon Barrios and Jimmy Hahn! They nailed all of our visions. There is not one thing we would change about our wedding day. We enjoyed every single moment from start to finish. Jon goes above and beyond to make sure that there is not a stress or a worry for the couple. The staff truly makes you feel like you’re royalty and that they genuinely care about your happiness. The day was filled with gorgeous views, delicious food and drinks, and so much love and fun! I am forever grateful to the staff at View for making our day picture perfect.

We are so happy that we chose to have our wedding at the View in Oakdale!! Absolutely stunning views and the best staff you could ask for - Amanda our matire d' was amazing!!! And the owner Jimmy is incredible- Food was delicious and everyone had an amazing time.
Great outdoor wedding venue. They are very accommodating and had absolutely amazing food. If you chose the view ask about going on the boat to take beach pictures. The beach pictures came out amazing. All the staff was great and made our day perfect.
Everything from start to finish went smoothly thanks to Courtney, Jimmy, Joe and the entire staff. Our friends and family are still raving about how much fun they had, how delicious the food was and the spectacular view. Most of them say it was the best wedding they have ever attended. We had our dance floor out on the patio which gave our 175 guests plenty of space inside to enjoy the beautiful set-up. From the second we walked in that morning Courtney made sure we had everything we needed. Our entire day was amazing thanks to the VIEW and their entire staff!! Its a day we will never forget!
Down to every last detail, the day went perfectly! All of the staff were phenomenal and everything was presented exactly how it was told it was going to be! We did the extended cocktail hour with the sushi bar add on which I HIGHLY recommend! I had a lot of people from all over the country come to my wedding and so many of them told me it was one of the best weddings they had ever been to! I 200% recommend View if you want an absolute dream wedding with well...a wonderful view!!
First, let me just take a moment to say that the venue itself is beautiful and elegant but simple and really allows you to make the space your own. Jimmy, Joe (my gluten free guru) and Courtney were absolutely superb. In every meeting I felt like they understood what I wanted, took my requests and concerns seriously and executed a flawless day for my husband and I. Everything looked beautiful, tasted amazing and ran right on schedule. Thank you to everyone at View for a truly amazing day!
The View was amazing. I honestly can’t say enough about them. The food, service, staff and everything else was truly amazing.
