    The Experience is a cool place for a wedding. They have great communication throughout the planning process. The venue itself is a nice and the perfect size for most weddings/events - not too big, not too small. This makes it feel intimate and cozy for a small gathering, while still providing that top notch feel.

    The Experience was the perfect wedding venue for our special day. The owner had a quick response time to all of our questions, which was greatly appreciated during the busy planning process. The quality of their work and the value they provided was excellent - they had a venue supervisor on hand to assist with any venue-related questions we had, and they provided plenty of tables and chairs to accommodate all of our guests. We were thrilled with the level of service and attention to detail from the team at The Experience, and our wedding day could not have gone more smoothly. We highly recommend this venue to any couple looking to host their wedding celebration.
