We recently got married at the North Garden theater and we could not have had a better experience! Ryan and Tina work so hard to make sure to get all the details right and to allow you to customize just about everything you can think of at reasonable prices. Ryan and Tina are truly the best and you can tell they love what they do! One unique thing about them is that they are very transparent with pricing and what they offer, which can be difficult to find these days and we really appreciated that. If you book with them you will definitely be taken care of and they will go above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly for you. We are truly so grateful for how wonderful our wedding was!

Our wedding at Le Venerè was truly a dream come true. From the moment we first saw the venue, we knew it was something incredibly special, and it ended up being everything we could have hoped for and more. The space itself is absolutely STUNNING. The chandeliers, the architecture, the elegance of the entire venue — it created the most beautiful and romantic atmosphere for our wedding day. We wanted a venue that felt timeless, elegant, and magical, and Le Venerè was exactly that. Our guests could not stop talking about how gorgeous it was! One of our favorite things about Le Venerè was how perfectly the space flowed throughout the entire day. We were able to have our ceremony there, transition seamlessly into cocktail hour, and then move into dinner and dancing without ever losing the magic of the space. Every part of the day felt distinct while still feeling cohesive, and we loved that our guests were able to experience everything the venue had to offer. Our ceremony was beautiful, cocktail hour felt so elegant, dinner was absolutely magical under the chandeliers, and then the space transformed into the perfect place to celebrate and dance the night away. It truly gave us everything we wanted for our wedding in one incredible location. Le Venerè will always hold such a special place in our hearts because it was the setting where we officially began our marriage and created some of our favorite memories together. When we look back at our wedding photos, we are still blown away by how beautiful everything was. If you're looking for a wedding venue that feels romantic, elegant, timeless, and completely unforgettable, we cannot recommend Le Venerè enough. It was our absolute dream venue, and we are so grateful that we got to celebrate one of the most important days of our lives there.

As event pros of 13 years, the Lowlands is one of our team's absolute favorite venues to work in! I truly can't recommend the space enough. The staff are top notch - communicative, kind, fun, flexible, & always on top of every little detail. They bring a sense of calm & an above & beyond helpful attitude to the event venue space that is often lacking, making for such easygoing, smoothly running, and FUN events. We have done numerous events in this space over the past couple years, as both wedding day coordinators & floral/design pros, and in all experiences have been over the moon working in this space. Venue wise, we love the combination of unique character the space has to offer, and a truly customizable backdrop for designing one of a kind events.
