Huge thank you to the entire staff of the Makoy, who particularly Matt, Erin and Adrian who made sure that our wedding went smoothly and everything was perfect. Everyone was so nice and helpful. It was so appreciated when there are so many things to keep in mind and so many tasks to cross off your list. They made everything so much easier! The way everything came together looked absolutely wonderful and exceeded our expectations by far. The decor was done so beautifully and we were very impressed. The food was amazing, the bartender was great and super friendly and every single guest made comments to me about how wonderful the event was and how nice the venue was. We could not be any happier with our decision to get married at the Makoy. It was absolutely perfect!!!

This place has a beautiful rustic feel, bar games, and just all around great atmosphere. We didn't even decorate anything! They had plenty of tables with nice black covers to make them more upscale. The murals bring so much life into the room. I had so many compliments on the space! Josh was very easy to work with throughout the planning process!

My husband and I got married at Vitria on the Square (ceremony & reception) in September 2024. We were one of the first couples to sign a contract at this new wedding venue. Vitria and the entire team (especially Bryan & Elenore) are exceptional. From the moment we visited Vitria, we knew it was the perfect venue for our wedding. Bryan completely sold us, we didn't even care if the day actually would go well or about the price at that point, we just loved him from the moment we met him. That being said, our day went PERFECTLY and was beyond stunning. The team was incredibly punctual, flexible, knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire planning process. The venue itself was simply stunning, with large floor-to-ceiling windows that flooded the space with natural, sunset light. The food and drinks were divine, we still get compliments to this day about the short rib and moscow mules. Vitria exceeded all of our expectations - if I had to redo my entire wedding, I would choose this venue over and over again. They are so much more than just 5/5 stars, I will never recommend another venue. Just do it and don't look back, you won't regret it!!! :)

As wedding photographers we experience all different wedding venues, styles, layouts, lighting & we're here to tell you, Strongwater is without a doubt the most incredible and well-rounded space that we have gotten the chance to shoot. From the incredible staff, to the one of a kind experience...where do we even begin?

Since then, we have seen time and time and again Strongwater putting their clients first and focusing the wedding day experience on the celebration without adding stress! The staff's philosophy of valuing their clients is so effortlessly present in everything they do. As vendors, we've never been treated with such kindness...so much so that now we are grateful to call many of the staff members friends. We know we are not alone in this sentiment because our clients are always treated in this way as well! Oh, and the venue…how could we forget? We've photographed all over the state & country - there's nothing that resembles the industrial elegance + gritty texture Strongwater offers. It's as versatile as it is stunning - allowing you to dress it up or let it shine as is. When it comes to photos, the tones in the building, courtyard + surrounding areas make for the most flattering colors in images. Add in the world class staff & you have yourself the perfect venue for your celebration. There aren't enough words to tell you how much we adore being at + photographing at Strongwater!

Our wedding at HLHC was gorgeous. Everything flowed nicely in that space. They have excellent staff who were all so helpful in planning the perfect day. They were flexible and easy to plan with out-of-state, and they were accommodating for me to visit and see the new renovations. Kate, our day-of coordinator, did an excellent job to make sure everything went smoothly. The catering and bartending services were fantastic! I'm still getting compliments on the cocktails, haha.

Mozart's Bakery and Event Space was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was fantastic, smooth, and incredibly reliable. The quality of their work and value was gorgeous, convenient, well-organized, and well-worth the money.
