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.

Not only did we choose The Union Exchange for our wedding but my Husband actually proposed in the same spot we had our ceremony! From the very beginning, the team at The Union Exchange was incredibly helpful, responsive, and kind to us. Their attention to detail and thoughtful accommodations made our wedding day truly special. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. We were so touched by their sweet, family-like hospitality - it truly felt like they cared just as much about making our day perfect as we did. We couldn't have asked for a better partner in planning our wedding, and are so grateful to the entire team at The Union Exchange.
