Amazing
The Makoy was the perfect wedding venue for our special day. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was prompt, kind, friendly, and professional. The venue itself is spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated - exactly what we were looking for. On the day of our wedding, their day-of coordinator seamlessly handled the transition from our planned outdoor ceremony to an indoor one due to unexpected rain. They set up the space beautifully and kept us on schedule so the entire day ran smoothly. Even though it wasn't exactly how we had originally planned, the Makoy team made sure everything was perfect, and we wouldn't change a thing. Our wedding was everything we wanted and needed it to be thanks to the Makoy's incredible service and stunning venue.
11/10
We had both our wedding ceremony and reception in the Emerald Room and could not be happier. Many of our guests have told us that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. Erin, Clay, Matt, Reagan, and the rest of the Makoy staff put in a lot of work to make everything run smoothly so that we and our guests could enjoy the day worry free. They were also a tremendous asset in making our personalized vision for the event reality. On top of all of that, the food is superb. We ended up with a bunch of leftover dessert not because we over ordered, but because everyone filled up on the fantastic dinner buffet and had no room left! If you are debating whether or not to give this place a look, just do it. We didn’t regret it, and neither will you.
Book the Makoy Center and Don't Look Back!
Congrats! You just got engaged, and exactly one trillion things are flying around your head. You're thinking of the guest lists, setting a date, the colors....let me help you make one decision quickly: book the Makoy Center. Do it, and don't look back. My wife and I had the best possible experience with them from start to finish. We didn't hire a planner, but we didn't end up needing one because of how thorough everyone was at the Makoy Center. We primarily worked with Matt, but the entire team helped execute the day, and it went off literally flawlessly. Every last detail that was unique to us, they helped implement. Every bite of food was cooked to perfection. The bartenders, servers, staff, etc were so friendly to our guests. The facility was spotless and decorated perfectly. The price was very reasonable and their payment plan helped us budget accordingly. Their "we take care of it all" approach left me skeptical at first (because I am a control freak) but they truly did. I simply cannot speak highly enough of all of them. Book the Makoy Center, and you will have the best day of your life.
Best Wedding Ever!
Huge thank you to the entire staff of the Makoy, who particularly Matt, Erin and Adrian who made sure that our wedding went smoothly and everything was perfect. Everyone was so nice and helpful. It was so appreciated when there are so many things to keep in mind and so many tasks to cross off your list. They made everything so much easier! The way everything came together looked absolutely wonderful and exceeded our expectations by far. The decor was done so beautifully and we were very impressed. The food was amazing, the bartender was great and super friendly and every single guest made comments to me about how wonderful the event was and how nice the venue was. We could not be any happier with our decision to get married at the Makoy. It was absolutely perfect!!!
