Every venue has a story, and for this one, it all started with Denny and Jenny – two lovebirds who came from the opposite ends of the country. How they met is just as unlikely and spontaneous as the birth of Glimmering Oaks.
The Family Legacy
Denny & Jenny Polasek, the owners, and operators of Glimmering Oaks have a romance built on a strong foundation of family, tradition, and a legacy of love. That foundation is infused into the creation of this beautiful venue they’ve created as a portal back to simpler times. The parcel of land that this serene venue sits on has roots that run even deeper.
For over half a century, this land has been in the Polasek family. Generations have come and gone, making memories here, raising families, and contributing to the surrounding community.
However, as with everything—time has a way of wearing things down. The maintenance and repairs needed on the land were just too heavy of a burden for the elders entrusted with Glimmering Oaks.
The heartbreaking decision to sell was settled—it was time the land brought joy to a new family. Cue Denny and Jenny!
Divine Providence
Divine providence, some would call it, and that would be fitting when you consider what would come to pass. When Denny learned of the plan to sell, he and Jenny didn’t hesitate to roll up their sleeves and help the family clean up the land to put it on the market.
It was during this clean-up effort that something magical was about to happen, something neither Denny nor Jenny could’ve ever imagined.
It was there, under the centuries-old oak trees that adorn Glimmering Oaks, that the namesake itself was born.
The Polasek’s passion to hold on to their family memories while being able to help multitudes of others build theirs is what fueled the dream into fruition.
