Oehme is the owners, Austin & Ronelle’s last name. The best, or at least the easiest way to describe it is to rhyme it with homie. In fact, it’s been said like that so many times that “Oehme Homie” has accidentally become one of Austin’s nicknames.

To accommodate the NEW Law that went into effect January of 2026, Oehme Oasis Wedding & Events will now handle all things bar!
-
Open! You may decide between any license & insured caterer of your choosing. *We will give you a list of our favorites too*
Contact us if you are interested in getting your meal catered by a restaurant that does not come onsite to serve your guests. IE: Applebees, Chipotle, a Local Pub, etc.
-
You will be working with whatever caterer you chose. However, Oehme Oasis can assist with many items they may not be able to, or are not very cost effective with.
Example: If you feel your caterer is charging too much for “after meal clean-up” or to “gather dirty plates” off the tables, you may want to reach out and chat about in-house options! OR if your caterer doesn’t provide plate-ware and utensils, we will direct you to some amazing and affordable options!
-
None for us! Since Oehme Oasis lets you chose your own caterer, this will differ for each couple.
Perk: Our preferred caterers do not have minimums either.
-
Yes. Of course! Many couples surprise their guests with a late night snack! — We have serval options to make this happen!
-
Absolutely! We encourage you to feed your wedding party! :)
Outside food is permitted prior to the ceremony, inside the our Getting Ready Rooms.

This depends on the DJ you decided on. — Some DJ’s get longer access since we have an equipment removal agreement with them. Some may need to end sooner if they take longer to teardown.
The investment cost includes all guests, vendors, wedding party, etc just needing to be offsite by Midnight on Fridays & Saturdays and 10pm Sunday- Thursday.
**Reach out to Oehme Oasis directly about keeping the party going onsite or via the Party Bus**

Due to events happening during the weekdays as well, this can be a tricky question. Access will not be available to clients OR their vendors prior to the time stated in your rental agreement.
Please make sure you communicate the access time with vendors and your wedding party. Thanks!

The past standard has been between 4:30pm-5:30pm, through September and 3pm-4pm in October.
Note: Most hotels do not allow check-in prior to 3pm. So if you have guests that are staying at hotels, they will need time to get checked in and back to Oehme Oasis.
