The Gem Theatre was truly a dream come true for our wedding!! Julia was so easy to work with and we had so much fun at our tasting that we requested Ari and Kendrea to be at our wedding and they delivered AND exceeded expectations (as did the rest of the Gem crew)! Plus, a special shout out to Miranda, the Gem day-of venue coordinator who helped everything run so smoothly at the venue. If we did it all over again, we would absolutely still choose the Gem. Best day ever in the most beautiful venue ever!

The team at The Colony Club was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding in the petite ballroom. From the moment we first reached out, they were incredibly responsive, accommodating, and experienced in helping us plan our special day.

We knew we were going to need a large space with our guest count but there was zero compromise on intimacy along with attention to detail at the Masonic. They offer several customizable options for bridal/ groom suites, catering, cocktail hour, and reception. The main ballroom looked stunning especially the two main chandeliers. Although the packages/ guidelines seemed rigid, we were eventually able to get most of the results we were looking for through some tinkering and back and forth correspondence. We were very impressed by the catering and waitstaff as the food received several compliments throughout the night. The only complaints on our end would be the temperature regulation of the main ballroom, which I'm sure comes with the building being older, and some areas of “hospitality”. There were a lot of things that were agreed upon in person but when it came time to be put into writing, those conversations were either misunderstood or backtracked. As I mentioned before, we eventually got to the result we were looking for but often received some resistance upfront.

It was amazing to see my favorite music venue transformed for our wedding, we loved everything about it. Working with event coordinator Mellisa was a great experience, she was so helpful and thoughtful throughout the whole process. We had rave reviews on the food from our guests, especially the elephant ears for dessert. The chef even made separate dishes for myself and a bridesmaid who are vegetarians. The bar service was also awesome and super friendly. Our guests were very pleased with the variety. The overall flow of the wedding went great, and the team made sure everyone was in their places when needed. We also got to take some pretty awesome photos throughout the venue complex, including the Garden Bowl. The band we hired sounded and looked great with the house lights and sound. I cannot say enough good things, I would do it all over again! It was everything I could have wanted and more. Thank you soooooo much, Majestic Team!!!
