Hands down amazing

The Union Pavilion at Railside is a DREAM!! It is absolutely gorgeous! Their outdoor ceremony is the picture perfect place to get married. If you want outdoors + air conditioning (because you LOVE to dance... like me😛) this is the place for you. An entire wall can open to the outdoors. Not to mention the food is delicious, the staff is great, and the atmosphere is amazing! We heard so many positive comments from our guests. Most importantly, Donna is AMAZING to work with! She is insanely fast at responding to emails and/or phone calls. She will make sure your day runs smoothly and is happy to help in any way. If I could give Donna, her staff, and the Union Pavilion 10 stars I would! They are hands down the BEST venue to work with when planning your special day!

Railside golf course

Perfect place for a wedding with the ceremony right out in front of the new pavilion they’re building. Which is beautiful on the inside with a stoned fire place and matching behind the bar. Also, they offer a great bridal suite to get ready in so you’re close to everything that’s going on!

Railside is a great choice for a wedding reception. I recently DJ'd an outdoor wedding outdoors there under the tent, and the setting was truly idyllic. Railside has a solid reputation for running a tight ship, and from what I could see it's well-earned.

What a beautiful Venue! We LOVE the outdoor ceremony and reception location. The staff is lovely and great to work with.
