St Ann Arts and Cultural Center Reviews

Where to even begin? First off, you will never find a more beautiful space to get married. Guests absolutely WILL rave about this building and staff. We held our ceremony & cocktail hour in this gorgeous former church (covered in Frescos!!) and reception downstairs in the same building. Wally, who runs the venue, cares - not just about getting things right for your day – but also about people. He helped my elderly father, literally from the car to his seat at the reception. He spent tons of time talking us through every detail, responded whenever I had questions. And everything went off perfectly. Take a look at what this team has done downstairs - this is NOT a church basement, it's a gorgeous reception hall capable of hosting a band and a very good sized crowd comfortably. Nearly everything you need to throw a unique and impressive event is available right in this building, from lighting to custom table settings. The staff is the warmest you'll find anywhere and they won't try to bankrupt you. There are bars on both floors, a kitchen, a sound system... I'm missing things, for sure, but the point is: you have to see it to believe it & this is a team you can trust to make your event beyond special.

Wally and the team at St. Ann's made my dreams come true for my wedding reception! The decor was above & beyond what I imagined and everyone was impressed. The attention to detail and personal touch that the staff gives made my special day even more special! Thank you for everything Wally!

We had the Wedding of our Dreams , This Venue is Remarkable, Our Ceremony was so personalized and the Mister made everyone feel at home, My Friends Laughed and Cried as the ceremony unfolded before their eyes. We decided to have our Cocktail hour at St Ann's even though we did not stay for the cocktail hour my guest said it was extraordinary as the Volunteers transormed the room in a matter of minutes. Our Catering and Bar service was "A Touch of Class" for the Cocktail Hour. Visit St Ann's and see for yourself.

Our Reception was held at the Beautiful Providence Biltmore, with amazing service and Decor.

This establishment is absolutely AMAZING! not only is it beautiful and historic but the volunteers and staff are excellent and so easy to work with. They truly include you into their "family".

My end of April wedding was perfect! Every person who had a hand in it was wonderful. Wally really went above and beyond to make everything run smooth. The beauty of the building is breath taking and the staff (100% run by voulenteers who love the building) were hard working and polight. my guests were impressed by everything right down to "the reception area smells so good!" Knowing the history of the building and how hard everyone works to maintain it made having my wedding there so so special. my husband and I have so many wonderful memories and our guests really enjoyed themselves. The reception hall was BAUTIFULLL! and it is decorated so differently than your standard banquet hall.

most beautiful place I have ever seen all run by volunteers but you would never guess that due to there professionalism... they went above and beyond for us on our wedding ... would definitely recommend

My husband and I were married on short notice. We had put our wedding off for two years and one day decided to just do it and we only had two months of planning time as I wanted to get married on my mother's birthday. We found St. Ann Arts and Cultural Center through a friends referral and we could not have been happier. Wally and his staff were extremely accommodating despite the short notice and the setting was just beautiful. Their professionalism and attention to detail and our personal needs were very calming and made us feel much less anxious about our planning deadlines. Just standing within the cathedral that has become this magnificent museum overwhelms you with awe. The entire experience is one we will never forget and we will forever be grateful that we chose St. Ann Arts and Cultural Center for our wedding venue.

My husband and I got married there last September and it is everything a bride could dream of. It was perfect!!!! Almost a year later and we still have family and friends talk about how amazing and gorgeous our wedding was. The ceremony was perfect, and the reception was just as gorgeous. The food was amazing as well! Not one of my guests including myself had a bad time. If iI could go back to that day, just to do it all over again, I would in a heartbeat. The staff there is absolutely phenomenal!!!

Every bride is nervous on their big day. Wally, Dominic and volunteers made it possible to keep my nerves down. They did a fantastic job on decorating and keeping my guests happy. I would highly recommend Saint Ann's for your special day!!! They take very good care of you!!!

This was our second marriage and had four children between us, ages 11-21. Wally had great ideas on how to incoorporate the kids. We also had our cocktail hour there and it was fantastic.
If your looking for a beautiful place to have your pictures taken, look no further. Our wedding pictures are beautiful.

My wedding was everything I ever wanted and more. The guests are still talking about it. Thanks to Wally and Dominique for making my dreams come true!!!!!!!!!

This church is truly breathe taking. The staff/volunteers were so helpful, happy, and always went above and beyond to make my special day perfect. I encourage every couple to check out this church, it is a one of a kind.

My husband and I walked in and just knew this was our reception hall - not only because it is breathtakingly gorgeous and unique but because the volunteer team was so welcoming, knowledgeable and accommodating. Wally, Dominic, and the entire volunteer crew at St. Ann's was wonderful and without them, I would have never made it through the day!

We can't say enough great things about St. Ann Arts and Cultural and the wonderful staff that took care of everything needed to make our wedding ceremony a dream come true! Wally and Dominique are the best! They make your day totally stressfree! They seem to have all the answers to every question and any solution to any problems you might encounter...the church is so beautiful and as a bride, walking down that long aisle, to greet your husband-to-be, is such a special moment to be cherished forever! Our ceremony was unique and precious from start to finish leaving all our guests with fond memories of a wedding they will never forget! Thank you Wally, Dominique and all the St. Ann's staff for making the best day of our life the most beautiful memory of our lives! Jackie & Lou
