Best Decision Ever

I cannot say enough good things about Union Trust and the Finley Catering team. From start to finish, they were nothing short of excellent and accommodating. Their responsiveness and their willingness to make our wedding day the most special it could be was nothing short of excellent. Our guests could not stop talking about the venue, the food, the service, it truly was a top tier experience and would recommend them every time!

Best wedding day ever!

I just had my wedding here in 7/14/2024. This venue went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing day! Brooke especially did an amazing job with helping us plan our special day and was always extremely responsive and kind! I wish I could relive the day over and over again. Our food was amazing and all the guests wouldn’t stop raving about how phenomenal the food and service was! The guests all danced and had an amazing time! The bridal suite was perfect for getting ready in! I had the best wedding day ever!
