I cannot say enough good things about The Monarch Room!!! We got married here in Dec 2024 and it could not have been more perfect. The space is beautiful, it’s open and customizable in so many ways, the staff were wonderful to work with the entire time we were planning and the day of (and even after), the pricing is reasonable and includes SO much, the list goes on and on. As a bride who DIY’d, didn’t have a planner, and has anxiety, Megan eased so much of my worries with good communication and willingness to help take things off my plate if needed. Megan & team - thank you so much! 10/10 recommend.

We had such an amazing wedding at The Oliver Building. Having the venue for the whole weekend made our weekend run so smoothly. We had our rehearsal Friday night, and brought everything over so we didn’t need to deal with it Saturday. Then got ready in the amazing upstairs suites Saturday morning. We had a great time, and Caitlin was so easy to work with! The only reason I took a star off is that we had some issues with the bar. We made it clear from the start that we wanted to prioritize the bar, and didn’t want long lines. Because of that, they said we would have 3 bartenders, and would batch some of our signature cocktails. Unfortunately, we only had two bartenders, despite giving tips for 3, and there were no cocktails batched. We did have a pretty long line at our bar most of the night because of this. All in all, it was an amazing venue for our wedding!!

The first time I saw photos of The Juliet, I fell in love a little bit. The gorgeous big windows that let in so much natural light, the white walls ready for any sort of decorating (or none), the intimate size of the space perfect for our dream of an intimate wedding. We had a very long engagement and wedding planning season, so we viewed the space in person a few times before making our final decision. And Laura, the owner, was so great at keeping me up to date on changes and new features over the couple of years we were waiting. She was always ready to answer my questions, listen to ideas, or offer her own ideas. She also did a great job of customizing the space and our package to exactly fit our needs and budget, which I so appreciated. They say wedding photos are one of the only things you truly keep from your wedding day, and I am so glad that The Juliet was and will be the backdrop for our memories for years to come!
