    I cannot rave about UNION enough. They were amazing and it was the perfect place to get married. The responsive, helpful, and friendly staff always responded to my emails in a timely manner, and made sure to answer any questions we had. They also had great recommendations and helped make the planning process so easy. They are in a great location, and can really make your dream wedding become a reality. Vibes were 10/10!

    They presented themselves to us as a very hands off venue… this was not the case. The manager threatened to cancel our contract 2 weeks before the wedding because we weren’t emailing them back when we had been, her assistant just got to the email first. One of the big reasons We chose the venue was because they weren’t going to make us have security, 3 months before the wedding we were informed they were now requiring an armed guard in uniform. There was a lot of stuff like that, that added up and made it irritating but all in all really pretty and day of everything was smooth

    Hi Ella. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are so happy to hear that you found UNION to be a beautiful setting for your special day and all went smoothly! We appreciate your thoughts on how we can do better - and we will review our communication approach with the team when they are waiting on input from our clients. We definitely love and encourage our clients to bring their vision and event design to life within the venue; on our end, we just need to make sure we have essential event details so that we are all set up for success, such as timeline and final layout decisions. And while security is not required for all events, certain event details can trigger the necessity to have a security presence onsite to follow local regulations. Again, thank you for your feedback and we wish you and Sydney all the best in your new married life!

    We held our welcome dinner for all our guests at UNION and it was a great location and we loved working with them! It’s a huge space and there are so many options of what you can do with the different floors. We especially loved they had the speakeasy as an option. They were also very reasonably priced!

  • Stop looking for a wedding venue!

    They went above and beyond to make our day absolutely perfect! To start, the venue is a one-stop shop. We used one floor for the ceremony, the speakeasy downstairs for cocktail hour and the after party, and upstairs for the reception. They also have a rooftop with the most gorgeous downtown views which we used for our first look and pictures. The bridal suite was beautiful and was the perfect spot for hanging out with my girls and getting ready. Jess and Madison answered every single question we had and made the magic happen! We wanted a picture with Bird scooters and they took it to the next level… They brought them on the roof for the BEST pics! UNION also allows for a 24 hour rental so we didn’t have to worry about rushing out and packing up the night of our wedding. HANDS DOWN would choose this venue 100x over!
