Best Wedding Ever!
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!!!
Have your wedding at the Makoy Center@!
We had our rehearsal dinner and wedding at the Makoy. The staff were very helpful, accommodating and a delight to work with. The food was also excellent, we had the short ribs and teriyaki chicken. Regan, our day of coordinator was the absolute best. She made sure we had everything set-up how we wanted and was extremely attentive to our needs day of (especially the bride's!). I would highly recommend having your wedding here at the Makoy!

Guy and I had an amazing experience with the Makoy Center. From our initial visit through the day of the wedding, everything was absolutely perfect! The staff was very professional and accommodated all of our wants/needs to make our big day so perfect. The food was absolutely amazing and it’s something our guests continue to talk about! Thank you to the Makoy Center for making our special day so special and memorable!
