If you’re looking for the perfect venue, 658 Events is it! This space truly has it all, and John is an absolute gem. He goes above and beyond to help with anything you need, making the entire process seamless. While it’s not strictly all-inclusive, John has an incredible way of making it feel that way. He can help you arrange everything you need, from catering to décor, so you’re never left feeling overwhelmed. The in-house catering is a game-changer – no stress about finding a caterer, and the food is fantastic. This venue is a nonprofit, so you can feel good knowing your money is making a difference. For every meal purchased, they donate free meals to the community lunch program the following week. They’ve thought of everything: chinaware, servers, bartenders, and even the option to bring your liquor – saving you a ton of money. And if you need décor or a planner, John has incredible recommendations to make your vision come to life. The space is huge, with plenty of room for your event and a beautiful lobby for a cocktail hour. Multiple ceremony options are available to suit your style. I honestly can’t recommend 658 Events enough. It’s the venue that takes the stress out of planning and lets you focus on enjoying your event.
