Im not sure where to begin! Libbi and Jordan were the best wedding power couple I could've asked for! The ability to book not only Venue but also DJ, Photo, Video, Coordination, Photo booth and lighting! Made the whole planning process simple and easy. on the wedding day the team was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to make our day! I cannot say enough great things about Monarch and the team!

I came in from out of town to attend my friend’s wedding here, and it was such a wonderful experience. The building is beautiful, and the facility was clean, welcoming, and well maintained. The staff was amazing, friendly, helpful, and very professional throughout the event. It was a lovely place to celebrate such a special day. Highly recommend!

We had our wedding reception here on September 20, and it was everything we hoped it would be! A beautiful venue that speaks for itself with everything necessary for hosting an event (bar, seating, bathrooms, stage, etc.). We actually booked our reception while the building was being sold, and were happy to know our contract would be upheld by the new owner--which it was and more! We were able to use our own bartender and had access to the building much earlier and longer than expected, which made set-up and clean-up a breeze. Great communication from both the previous and new owners and very affordable rates. Highly recommend you use this venue if you're hosting a large event!
