“The University Club by Wedgewood Weddings made planning our wedding from out of state incredibly smooth. Their team responded quickly to every question. On the day of, we didn't have to worry about organizing or corralling people because everything was already set up and running like clockwork. The venue itself is beautiful and clean, and we were impressed by how reasonable and all inclusive their pricing was. We felt completely taken care of from start to finish, and we'd absolutely recommend them to any couple looking for a convenient and reliable venue. Lisa was the best day of coordinator and we got to be fully present and enjoy our day without worrying about any logistics. We loved all our recommended vendors (Blue Heart Entertainment, Corey with Weddings by LMP, Patty’s Cakes, Juno Bee Charcuterie) and have no regrets about the best day ever!”

“Choosing The Hidden Chateau for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. From our first conversation, the Epic Events team was responsive and genuinely excited to help us bring our vision to life. What really set them apart was how easy they made the entire planning process -- their all-inclusive approach meant we didn't have to stress about coordinating with a dozen different vendors, which saved us both time and money. If you're planning an intimate celebration, this venue is perfect for smaller weddings and feels special without any of the headache. The team went out of their way to make sure every detail was exactly how we wanted it, and our guests couldn't stop talking about the beautiful space and how well everything ran. We can't recommend The Hidden Chateau enough.”
