The Venue on Broad is absolutely beautiful and was the perfect spot for our wedding reception. Everything about the space is thoughtfully designed from the decked out bridal suite to the string lit patio space - it is just perfection. The best part of it might have been the staff. Summerlin and Mikayla were the absolute best to work with. They were super helpful and quick to answer all my questions leading up to our wedding day (there were a lot). And the food!! They were super accommodating to create a delicious custom menu for our wedding reception. Several people told us it was the best wedding food they have ever had. Our entire reception was beautiful and ran ever so smoothly thanks to them and my wedding planner, Thailer Waterworth.
