I can't recommend it enough
I recently held my wedding at The Empress, and I can't recommend it enough! The planning process was seamless and I didn't have to worry about many vendors required for wedding thanks to their numerous options for food, cake, decorations, and beverage plans. The food was delicious, with plenty for all our guests, and the cake was a highlight as well. The venue itself is stunning. The staff is incredibly attentive, ensuring everything went smoothly and communication is excellent; they reply promptly to messages. They are also very transparent about their contracts, making everything easy to understand. I appreciated their monthly payment plan, which alleviated financial stress leading up to the big day. One of the features I liked is the flexibility in guest count; you can finalize numbers just a month before the event. This is a huge advantage compared to hiring third-party catering. Another cool feature about this venue is that, while we didn't need a weather contingency plan, I noticed the building is spacious enough to host a ceremony on the balcony, which is roofed, providing a solid backup option for outdoor ceremonies. Lastly, I highly recommend considering their preferred vendors as they know very well how the Empress operates. I especially recommend Stevie, the florist—she's both affordable and talented. Overall, The Empress made our wedding unforgettable!

Our experience at The Empress Estate was simply sublime. From our first point of contact, their communication was direct, clear and responsive, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. The venue itself is truly magnanimous, with a spacious layout and a summer-shimmery gorgeous aesthetic that created the perfect ambiance for our special day. The food prepped was delicious and the dance floor space was awesome, allowing our guests to cut a rug late into the night. The Empress Estate's graceful service and attention to detail ensured our wedding day was an absolute dream. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue to celebrate our love.

My husband and I married here on 10/21/2023 and I cannot tell you how Thankful we are that we selected this Venue. We had attended a wedding here once before and fell in love with this place. Working with the planner Sarah V. was fantastic and she was extremely helpful, professional and always available to answer questions. The day went off without a hitch, the food was fantastic, the staff were great and we had a beautiful day. I would recommend this venue to any couple!
