We used the Capitol Room for both our Ceremony and Reception and it was absolutely perfect! The space is stunning and holds a lot of character. We had plenty of space for both my wife and I to get ready in two separate suites. There was a separate space for everyone to enjoy cocktail hour while the room was flipped for the reception and dance. From the minute we toured the space we knew it was where we wanted to have our wedding. Sitting down with Megan was an absolute delight. We hired her for her day of coordinator services as well and she took care of everything. She made the room stunning and we didn’t have to worry about anything. She was extremely professional, she was in constant communication with us and even took our call the night before at 10pm when our officiant quit on us last minute. She helped us through the situation and calmed our nerves. The day of the ceremony it felt like we were working with one of our close friends by our sides. We can’t recommend Megan and the Capitol Room enough!!

When it comes to wedding venues, being allowed the freedom to make decisions that are in the best interest of our shared couples is a MUST. I've handled several weddings at The Jerome Event Center. The Graunkes, as well as their team, have ALWAYS made me feel like a member. Accommodating of my needs, communicative of client expectations, I have always felt that the relationship that we've established is as important as the relationship that's been established with the couples that are in our care. Trust is HUGE in this industry, not just from the couples that choose us to take care of them, but from the other vendors that we work alongside. I appreciate the trust and faith that has been placed in me by the team at The Jerome Event Center.
