Beautiful and Unique Venue
From the moment we toured FIVE Event Center, we knew it was the perfect venue for our wedding. The team was incredibly on time, professional, and diligent in their communication, making the planning process seamless. On the day of, they were so friendly and helpful, answering any last minute questions we had and ensuring the setup went off without a hitch. The space itself is truly unique, open, and welcoming, with a beautiful, modern aesthetic that perfectly fit the vibe we were going for. Our guests raved about the warm and inviting atmosphere, and we felt completely at ease the entire night. We're so grateful to the FIVE team for helping make our special day everything we dreamed of and more.
A Beautiful Space with an Incredible Team
From the moment we began working with FIVE Event Center, we felt supported, and that feeling only deepened on our wedding day. The space itself is stunning, with a romantic industrial feel that feels both elegant and warm, but what truly sets FIVE apart is the people. Robin and her team took an incredible amount of stress off our shoulders. They handled the flow of the day with such calm confidence that if anything was frustrating or unexpected, we never felt it. Their professionalism and quiet reassurance allowed us to stay present and actually enjoy every moment. We even had a last-minute oversight and forgot our cake cutting supplies - and somehow, without hesitation, Robin completely saved the day (and our photos) by magically having exactly what we needed. It was one of those moments that could have caused stress, but instead became a reminder that we were in the best possible hands. We had initially worried about parking, but it ended up being a non-issue - not a single guest mentioned it. Everything flowed smoothly, the space photographed beautifully, and our guests consistently commented on how welcoming, beautiful, and well-run the venue felt. We are so grateful to Robin and the entire FIVE Event Center team for creating an experience that felt seamless, thoughtful, and genuinely cared for. We would wholeheartedly recommend FIVE to any couple looking for a beautiful space paired with a team that truly goes above and beyond.
Beautiful venue
This venue was so amazing and a great price! Great historic space. Excellent lighting and design. Flexible space and Robyn is great to work with. We had a wedding with 50 guests and it was beautiful. I highly recommend.
Artis & Bernice's Wedding
Robyn was absolutely amazing from the start, and John was amazing at the back half of wedding planning/day of! My husband and I received so many compliments on the wedding venue. Thank you to all the staff members that helped make our wedding day an amazing day and all of their attentiveness to detail. FIVE exceeded our expectations! Lastly, thank you Robyn for always being so responsive to emails and for your attentiveness to detail as well. FIVE is a great wedding venue option!
