Amazing Venue

We had our wedding cocktail hour and reception at the Union on 8/6/22, and the entire event was a dream. Our cocktail hour took place in the Courtyard, where the glass ceiling and flexible seating provided the perfect ambiance. The reception was held in Rogel Ballroom, and the room looked incredible. The catering staff were attentive and professional, and they even helped us clean up and load cars at the end of the night. The food was delicious, and we appreciated that we were able to attend a tasting earlier in the spring for engaged couples to make sure we chose the right dishes. We planned our event with Lauren Yanakeff, who was incredibly on-the-ball and knowledgable about the planning process. She answered our many questions swiftly, met with us in person, and put us at ease throughout the entire process.

I was one of those brides when it came to last minute changes and swaps. Ken Knell at the Union was so great to work with--he made everything I wanted happen. The staff the night of were amazing. They made us a to go box of food, carried everything out to the cars, and took care of us like were family. I'd highly suggest a trip to the Union if you're looking for a great venue for your wedding.
