We had our wedding at Port 393 on December 14, 2024, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience. Chloe, our wedding planner, was incredibly attentive and had everything under control from start to finish. Her meticulous attention to detail allowed us to relax and truly enjoy our special day. Chloe was always easy to reach and guided us through every step of the planning process. On the day of the wedding, she made sure I had everything I needed and went above and beyond to make the day special. She even took care of loading up the car throughout the night, so we could focus on enjoying time with our family and each other. The decorations were stunning, and the entire venue looked beautiful. I highly recommend letting Port 393 handle all the details—they truly made our wedding everything we had hoped for and more. It was a fun and memorable day, thanks to their exceptional service.

I have photographed several weddings at Hilltop, and even though I’m quite biased towards it already, I do think it is a magical place for not just the couples, but the guests and vendors as well. As a photographer, you have sooooo many places to explore and have fun shooting at. It’s quite the dream. :) The owners are just so great too, so I hear. ;)

The Waddell Center was the perfect venue for our wedding. With a great location and reasonable prices, it was an easy choice for us. The space itself is spacious and absolutely beautiful - our guests were blown away by how elegant and well-appointed it was. Everyone at The Waddell Center, especially our coordinator Bre, was so helpful throughout the planning process. Bre answered every question we had and made sure the entire day went as smoothly as possible. She truly went above and beyond to ensure we were happy and stress-free. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or team to work with for our special day. Another perk is the parking lot!

We had the most wonderful experience at St. Cecilia's on our wedding day! From booking to the day of the wedding, Nadine was so helpful! Communication was wonderful leading up to the day. We even got a layout of our table setup to send to other vendors. They were also so accommodating when we decided to move the buffet to the lower level of the building. Choosing this venue was truly a worthwhile investment! We were originally concerned about the option of only one bar vendor. But we now know why they prioritize them! Martha's catering went above and beyond for us and the bartenders were wonderful. They clearly know the venue and have a lot of experience. So do not let the catering options deter you, clearly St. Cecilia's has them picked for a reason and you can trust your vendors! Have I mentioned that the building is gorgeous!?! The ballroom is stunning and the rooms are all so magical. It is such a beautiful wedding venue. Our guests had a wonderful time!

We had our wedding at this venue and it was everything we hoped for and more. The atmosphere was beautifully rustic, which created such a warm and charming backdrop for our big day. We used the space for both our ceremony and reception, and it worked out perfectly. One of the things we appreciated most was how flexible and accommodating the venue was. We were given access to the entire upstairs, including the back office, which was a great private space for me to get ready and stay tucked away before the ceremony. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully laid out. Parking was easy for our guests, and the venue was simple to find — a huge plus when hosting 65 people. Our guests fit comfortably with plenty of room to eat, dance, and mingle without feeling cramped. Jennifer, the event coordinator, was incredible. She was always available for questions, and communication throughout the planning process was clear and consistent. We were allowed to visit the venue multiple times to finalize details and even held our rehearsal there, which made everything run smoothly on the day of. The rest of the staff was just as attentive. My husband and I always had a drink in hand, and it felt like every little detail was taken care of without us needing to ask. The food — provided by the venue — was served buffet style and was a huge hit. I received so many compliments from guests throughout the evening about how good it was. I honestly wouldn’t change a thing about our experience. This venue made our wedding day feel seamless, personal, and truly special. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a space that is not only beautiful but also backed by a supportive, professional team.

First off, the all-inclusive aspect of English Inn was perfect. We had our rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, wedding, photos, cocktail hour, and reception there - plus our bridal party and immediate family stayed on site! It really took a lot of stress out of the weekend to not have to worry about how to get from A to B. And since the Inn's banquet hall caters the meal and has a bar, that was 2 fewer vendors we had to worry about! Not to mention chairs, tables, linens, etc all provided as well. For two people who aren't familiar with event planning, the English Inn made planning our wedding a breeze! Adriana is amazing as event coordinator, she was always able to answer every question quickly and professionally. The staff was all really friendly and the food was AMAZING! Absolutely no regrets or "what-if"s on our venue choice.
