Great experience
Beautiful, large venue. You have plenty of space social distance tables during a Covid-19 wedding and you have an upstairs that you can reserve for people who don’t want to be around crowds. Staff was very nice and accommodating. You have to purchase alcohol through the Cadre, which was the largest expense we had overall. However, we chose an upper-end open bar package. There are other lower-cost options. This was not a secret or a surprise to us - we knew exactly what we signed up for lol. It just is a lot more than what you might pay a venue to bring your own alcohol. We loved the venue so much that we were willing to take on the extra expense. (I’m just trying to think of potentially helpful information. This was not a negative thing.)Beautiful, large venue.

Gorgeous and Professional
I’m not one to write many reviews, but if you plan on getting married in the TN area (or even if you’re from out of town), this is the place to have it! It is an absolutely gorgeous venue, with amazing event planners if you need one! The architecture speaks for itself and honestly doesn’t even need decor to stand out. It’s so classy and beautiful, I would make the same choice if I had to do it over again!I’m not one to write many reviews, but if you plan on getting married in the TN area (or even if you’re from out of town), this is the place to have it!

Such a beautiful place!
We could not have been happier to use this beautiful space for our wedding. It can be a little difficult to find a venue to seat a large group of people in downtown Memphis, but this place was great. Kelsey and Betsy are extremely easy to work with and are very prompt with responses. The space is so pretty inside that minimal additional decor is needed. The rental fee includes tables, chairs, and choices of tablecloths which is extremely nice to not have to source them from outside companies. Anytime we needed to come by and look at the venue for any planning it was very accessible. We had so many compliments on our choice of venue. It’s very unique. I would highly recommend!We could not have been happier to use this beautiful space for our wedding.

I can't say enough amazing things about the Cadre! We just got married their last weekend and everything was absolutely amazing. My guests raved about how beautiful the venue was and how well things flowed. Betsy and Kelsey are the best at what they do. I must have drove them crazy with the millions of questions I had, but they never let on :) They answered everything, walked me through it all and made sure that I had the wedding of my dreams. Kelsey is the best wedding coordinator a girl could ask for! Thank you, for ensuring that everything went right that day and that I had the wedding of my dreams! I couldn't have done it without you two, and I can't wait to get all my pictures and show off the gorgeous venue!I can't say enough amazing things about the Cadre!

I am currently working with the Cadre group to plan my wedding at Court Square Park (not owned by the Cadre, owned by the city) and reception at the Cadre's Bon Ton Cafe. My wedding is not until this summer, but I could not resist writing a review for it now. I will write a second review after our wedding. When I was first calling around to venues, I was pleasantly surprised to find that someone is regularly in the office at the Cadre during normal business hours on normal business days. This is a bit rare for venues in Memphis. Most of my earliest interactions were with Betsy McKay in sales. Betsy went above and beyond to answer all of my questions, always within a reasonable time frame. I currently live in Texas. Since we are planning from long distance, I had a lot of questions. Betsy's enthusiasm, patience, and responsiveness to my questions in our phone meeting and via email made me comfortable enough to book the Bon Ton Cafe for my reception, sight unseen because I could not travel to Memphis, this past spring. Betsy connected me with the in-house event coordinator, Kelsey McMillon. If you choose to go with in-house coordination for your event, Kelsey has three packages to choose from that are all great value. We initially booked her for the middle-priced package but have been so happy with her that we just upgraded to the most involved package that includes week-of-wedding support. When we had trouble locating specific vendors, she stepped right in to help. We initially booked her for day-of coordination and rehearsal, and, since that time, she has emailed every couple of months or so just to check in to see if we had any questions or needed assistance. We met her for the first time a few days ago, when we finally got to see the amazing venue for the first time. She was organized, focused, and had great ideas during the meeting. The space is unique and AMAZING! I love the authentic vintage, Memphis, soul vibe. I cannot WAIT to celebrate there!I am currently working with the Cadre group to plan my wedding at Court Square Park (not owned by the Cadre, owned by the city) and reception at the Cadre's Bon Ton Cafe.

We had our happily ever after at the Cadre on May 6, 2017 and was blown away by the overall experience. The venue (as well as Kelsey McMillon) played a huge part in the success of our weekend and the amount of our guests who are still talking about your venue is testament to that. The Cadre itself was exactly what we were looking for in terms venue, atmosphere, scenery and overall experience. Even though it was downtown, parking never seemed to be an issue. Kelsey, Betsy and the rest of the staff were nothing but helpful in the months running up to, the week of and day of the wedding. Words cannot express how thankful I am for their support.We had our happily ever after at the Cadre on May 6, 2017 and was blown away by the overall experience.

The building is absolutely stunning and very versatile! I chose this as my venue because of the location and the size. It is conveniently located in the heart of downtown Memphis, and within walking distance of everything. The director of sales, Betsy Mckay is amazing! She answers any questions you have with no time to spare. We ended up hiring her as our wedding coordinator for the week of and it was definitely the BEST decision we made! I highly recomend this venue!The building is absolutely stunning and very versatile! I chose this as my venue because of the location and the size.
