Venue considerations

The Porter Room was the perfect venue for our wedding! From the start, their communication was mainly via email, which was convenient and responsive. The space itself is great - it's a large, moldable area that allowed us to truly customize it for our special day. The easy access for set up and clean up was a huge plus, and the bar staff were amazing - timely, professional, and attentive to our guests. The event coordinator was also incredibly organized, available, and informative throughout the planning process. The beautiful marshlands in the back, lined with gorgeous oak trees, provided a stunning backdrop, and the blank canvas of the Porter Room resulted in photos that our guests are still raving about. I highly recommend this location for any event, especially a wedding!

Cannon Green was EXCEPTIONAL to work with. From the ease of planning and coordination, the efficiency of the staff, and the communication from start to finish -- I would not go in any other direction. NOT ONE bad thing to say about the food and drinks, my guests were thoroughly impressed. The ease of having the entire ceremony/reception in 1 place is unmatched. This is truly your one-stop-shop for your wedding. The greenery offers an incredible ambiance and the clean slate of the venue let's you add your own touch. I would choose CG again and again.

Not only is this event space incredibly gorgeous but the event director, Emily Schultz, was the most helpful and professional that lead to a stress-free wedding experience. The space contains a large entry, spacious bar, beautiful main room, and a lounge and loft. From the moment you walk in you are greeted with brick, dark woods, green, and gold in a romantic and elegant way. There's tile and wood floors with decorated walls that made this area so much more appealing than an empty banquet hall. Emily communicated with me through email and phone quickly, often, and professionally. She was the biggest help to this out of town bride! Her and her team put on an amazing event down to personalized menus and beyond excellent service from the bartenders to the many servers. Our guests also told us that the filet they had was the best they ever had! We had 60 guests and had plenty of room for a dance floor, dj, and photobooth area. We did our cocktail hour and reception here. I could not recommend Halls enough!
