Such a wonderful experience!

I booked my wedding with The Great Room on VERY short notice, after my original wedding venue cancelled our wedding 3 weeks prior to our event due to COVID-19. Angie was so helpful in getting us a tour as quickly as possible and making all arrangements. We emailed maybe 20 times back and forth to get the contract/menu/guest count right, and she happily corresponded with me. I successfully replanned my wedding in just 3 weeks and Angie was a pivotal part of that. She made sure every detail was in place exactly how I envisioned. You also cant beat the price for their beautiful space! Although it was not exactly like our original venue, it was spacious, romantic, and I wouldn't change anything about our wedding.

Very pleased!

Angie was amazing to work with from the start! She was always responsive to emails and helped us make our wedding day everything we wanted it to be. We loved the Great Room because it let us have our ceremony outside on the tented deck no matter the weather and our reception inside

Unbelievably Professional & Reasonable

The Great Room is an absolute steal that I would recommend to ANYONE. At just $1,750 for four hours on a Sunday, the historic venue provides those sought-after industrial vibes in a classy room that needs little further decoration. The covered deck was a great space to spread out into. The staff could not have been more lovely and professional - they elevated our night and made it feel even more special. Angie is a true expert who makes planning and coordination simple, and you'll spend the whole process feeling like you're in good hands. She recommended many of our additional vendors to us as well! Lastly, while you won't be able to choose your own caterer, the food from Putting On The Ritz was AMAZING, and they really try to work with you if you want to supplement alcohol packages, etc. Can't say enough good things!
