We recently had our wedding and reception at Live! by Loews in October, and it was absolutely incredible. From start to finish, every detail was perfectly handled, and the experience exceeded all of our expectations. Our ceremony and cocktail hour took place on the Bullock Terrace, and the setting was nothing short of breathtaking. The stunning cityscape and Ballpark Village provided the exact vibe we envisioned. The terrace was beautifully prepared, creating an atmosphere our guest couldn't stop raving about. The Cardinal Ballroom for our reception was spacious enough to comfortably accommodate our 200 guests, with plenty of room for dancing and celebrating. The bar service was impeccable, and the food was a highlight of the night - everyone commented on how delicious everything was. A huge shoutout to Sydney, the venue coordinator, who was truly the icing on the cake. From our very first meeting to the wedding day itself, she went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. If everyone planning their wedding had a Sydney, no one would ever have to worry about a thing! her expertise, kindness, and attention to detail made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Beyond Sydney, every staff member we encountered was warm, friendly, and eager to help. Their professionalism and genuine care made both us and our guests feel welcomed and valued throughout the event. If I could do it all over again, there isn't a single thing I would change. Live! by Loews was the perfect choice, and I would pick them again in a heartbeat. Thank you for making our special day unforgettable.

We had our wedding/reception a the Franklin on 6/28/24 and we could not have asked for a better venue or staff. Everyone from the owners, Christina and Danny, to the coordinators, Emily, Cate, and Nichole, and the bar staff/catering staff/every single person we encountered, went above and beyond to make us feel like the only couple in the world throughout the entire process. The space is not only GORGEOUS (your wedding photos will be amazing) but the peace of mind and ease that booking at the Franklin leads to is priceless. Our guests are still raving about the food, drinks, and ambiance. If you’re considering the Franklin—you will not be disappointed. You will be completely taken care of throughout the entire planning process and you will not find a more supportive or flexible venue. I wish we could live our wedding day over and over and the main reason for how wonderful it was is the staff at the Franklin. Thank you to everyone there—we are forever grateful!

We absolutely LOVED working with Grbic Events. Lejla (the wedding coordinator) was so fabulous and helped the day run as smoothly as possible. She went above and beyond to make sure my wedding vision came fruition. The night of the event she was out of the floor and her team was constantly checking in and making sure everyone had what they needed. The team was so great to work with and I would 10/10 recommend this event space for any event. The event space is gorgeous and the outdoor area really helps accommodate for large weddings. We had about 300 people and it never felt too full or crowded. We got so many compliments on the food. The food was delicious and everyone loved that it was a little different than typical wedding food. This event space is spectacular and I would highly recommend it to any bride!

The food included with the package was amazing! Way better quality than traditional “hotel food”. Multiple guests thought we had it catered! The staff is wonderful!!! Maggie is so easy to work with and helpful. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but the staff really made this experience painless!
