Words can't express how how thrilled we were with our wedding here. The experience from booking to the wedding day was the best. The venue is just magical. The reception at night with the the lights were right out of a fairy tale. I can't imagine having had a better day. John and Simeen were attentive so helpful through the whole process. The staff was great too. I would recommend this venue to any couple. Our guests can't stop raving either.

Wow! Our experience with The Hangar Wedding Event Venue has been nothing but smooth sailing from the beginning! We could not have asked for a better place to tie the knot! From how personable the owners have been throughout the process of wedding planning, to the involvement that Kara and Clay had in making our day possible, we are STILL talking about how amazing the entire experience has been. They made the process so easy! They were quick to respond in communications leading up to our wedding and were even involved in the setting up and cleaning up process! The Hangar offered a beautiful bridal suite to get ready in, a spacious indoor/outdoor reception space, a indoor ceremony space as an option for bad weather, in house bartenders ready to serve and help out wherever needed, a large variety of decor to choose from, and so much more! We were able to utilize the option for their in-house catering company, "Pullin' Pork" and Kara's signature dessert bar, which our guests are still raving about! We will recommend The Hangar Wedding Event Venue to all of our engaged friends and family! The Hangar is the most inclusive venue in the Metro East area!

I really can’t say enough about Jeff, Amy, Ashley, and the rest of team at Gateway Center. They did their absolute best to make our wedding spectacular. Did we have hiccups during the process? Sure. But nothing that would make me hesitate recommending them. They customize pretty much everything so that you have things exactly as you want them and take care of everything on your day so that you don’t have to worry about a thing. And they’re so flexible. I had some family who were throwing them curve balls at the last minute and they took everything in stride. I can’t tell you how much I appreciated that.

We were married at Laumeier Sculpture Park in 1999, so when our 25th Silver Anniversary rolled around this year we decided to do it again!! This park has always been a favorite of ours since high school - so to return to the original spot meant so much to us. The staff at Laumeier are just amazing! They were quick with responses to questions and went above and beyond with the planning. We live out of town and they were gracious enough to meet with me when I came to town a few weeks before to walk through everything ahead of time. The day of, the staff did everything possible to accommodate our wishes and be sure other park goers knew that the space was saved for a wedding. We just cannot say enough about this park and venue for weddings. Beautiful setting, easy to access for all the guests and top notch staff - hopefully we will do it again when the Golden Anniversary comes around!! If you’re thinking of holding a wedding here, please do!! It is a magical place and photos after are so much fun!
