“Karen and Abigail were a pleasure to work with. The venue comes with tables and chairs and they make it super easy to rent signs/decor items from so you don’t need to worry about those small extra details. All around the entire place is gorgeous from the groom/bridal suite to the front entrance, reception and cocktail area, and the vineyard. The views were incredible and it was 100% worth it especially with how beautiful our pictures have turned out so far. I will say I felt they were a little busy as my wedding was Saturday and they also had weddings on Sunday and Friday. For this reason I felt a little rushed towards the end, but all in all I would have my wedding here 10 out of 10 times if I were to do it over again!”

“This venue is the most amazing venue I toured while planning. It’s was absolutely stunning and everything I wanted in a venue. The venue coordinator is very nice, however, at times it was very difficult to get in touch with her. There is no staff to cover if she happens to be out of the office (which made it stressful as it closer to my wedding). Overall, I would recommend this venue for any celebration. I also loved that I had to option to bring all of my decor and vendors. My overall experience was a good one. My wedding was beautiful and everything turned out great.”

“Me & my husband chose The Union Exchange as our wedding venue and we couldn't have picked a better one! The staff are SO lovely (massive shoutout to Kelly & Kacie!) and they were so flexible with us and really put in the extra effort to make sure our day was perfect. Not only are the staff here excellent at their jobs, they are also such wonderful kindhearted people too. We felt INSTANTLY welcomed the first time we ever visited & that is ultimately what lead us to choosing this place to get married. My family stayed in the big AirBNB at the front of the venue and it's such a great space for larger parties! Very modern but with a rustic twist and has everything you need. Also the animals are ADORABLE! Myself and my husband stayed in one of the little cabins near the lake and we both loved it so much that we will be coming back every year to celebrate our anniversary! They are so cosy but very clean, we loved sitting on the chairs at the front and watching all the geese go by. Special shoutout to the candles here, the "Market Mornings" candle was a nice addition to our cabin and we even bought one to take home with us to remember this by. Even though we were here for our wedding, I know they do so many cool events which are perfect for all ages, we will definitely be back in future! I cannot recommend this beautiful place more 3”
