    The Chicory was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. Their communication style was fast, personable, informative and accommodating throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and overall value was second to none - they truly helped our vision come to reality with their expert recommendations and ability to adapt. The great staff, delicious food, and lovely people who work at The Chicory made our special day unforgettable. I highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a stunning, stress-free wedding experience.

    We had our wedding event here and everything was amazing. My wife and I would like to thank Jenna(General Manager) and Kimberly(Event Manager) for working us from day one. They made sure they helped us every step of the way. Thank you to Stephanie and Erin(our bridal attendants) for making sure we always had food and drinks in our hand. Our last thanks is to the Chefs Jayce and David for wowing our guests with food. Our guests raved about the historic venue, food , and customer service. Thank you to the Chicory staff for taking care of us and all our guests

    Beautiful Venue with Amazing Staff

    Our wedding day was nothing short of magical thanks to everyone at the Chicory! Jenna, Kimberly, and their team did everything to make our day as perfect and stress-free as possible. We chose the Chicory because of its beautiful interior, outdoor space option for our ceremony, and the food; and none of it disappointed on the day of our wedding! They offer so many food options and everything was amazing! Our guests are already raving about how delicious the everything was. My biggest concern about planning a wedding without a wedding planner was how things would work day of, but Kimberly and Jenna took care of everything once we arrived at the venue, so I didn't have to worry about a thing except enjoying my wedding! I can't recommend the Chicory enough!
