The Millennium Center

If you're even remotely considering The Millennium Center for your wedding, stop second-guessing and just book it! My husband and I got married in April 2024 and had the best experience. We had toured several venues, but The Millennium Center immediately stood out as the perfect choice. The venue’s stunning architecture, history, and prime location in downtown Winston-Salem made it the ideal setting for our special day.
Greg (owner), Evie (his wife), and their entire team went above and beyond to ensure BOTH the planning process and our wedding day were flawless. Greg took the time to meet with us several times, answering all of our questions and never rushing us. These meetings weren’t just about logistics—they were always fun conversations to get to know each other.
The team worked closely with us to personalize every detail, from incorporating cultural elements into our food menu, to offering excellent vendor recommendations. They even went the extra mile with personal touches, like stocking the bar with our favorite options. They also gave us great advice on certain setups but never overpowered our perspectives—they truly listened to what we wanted.
On the big day, everything was executed flawlessly. We spent the entire day at The Millennium Center, including getting ready (there is plenty of space to do so comfortably!). The team’s attention to detail, professionalism, and commitment to bringing our vision to life was extraordinary. We never had to worry about a thing—it was a stress-free and unforgettable experience. Our guests are still raving about the food (especially the chicken, and shrimp and grits!), the bar service, the venue’s beauty, and of course, Greg. He made a point to check in with guests throughout the day to make sure everyone was happy and had everything they needed.
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better venue or a more amazing team to work with.

The venue itself is absolutely stunning. Decorating felt effortless because the space is already art. Every corner carries character, history, and beauty. It doesn’t need to be transformed, it enhances whatever vision you bring. Mr. Greg, Mrs. Edie, and the entire team are some of the most solution-minded, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring professionals we’ve ever encountered. Their experience shows in every interaction. They anticipate needs before you even voice them, which allowed us to completely flow through our day with calm and confidence. By the end, they didn’t feel like staff, they felt like family. Our guests are still talking about the beautiful lighting and delicious signature drinks. Several of our family members have stated that they plan to make dinner reservations here since our wedding meal was so phenomenal. We just thank them and remind them it’s a venue. When you serve 5 star meals as an all inclusive wedding venue, it confuses people lol. The overall ambiance perfectly captured our style: Timeless, warm, and glamorous.It truly doesn’t get any better than The Millennium Center!

The Millenium Center gave us the wedding reception of our dreams! Their help in planning was invaluable: practical, catered to our desires, thought of things we might have missed otherwise. Every detail was exquisite: bridal prep room, decorations throughout building, table dinnerware, centerpieces, hors d'oeuvres, delicious dinner and desserts (happily reflecting different backgrounds of bride and groom), staff service, lighting, signage, bar staff, sound equipment, piano for cocktail hour, terrific setup for our running slide show.. it just goes on and on. Greg, Edie, and manager Mary could not have been more helpful if they were planning their OWN wedding. We are deeply grateful and give the Millenium Center our highest and most enthusiastic recommendation!

My daughter selected the Millennium Center for her wedding and it was one of the best nights of our lives. The attention to detail and courtesy of the staff was noteworthy and set an example of excellence which every business should emulate. My heartfelt appreciation for Greg and Edie Carlyle (owners/operators) for their kindness, professionalism and a job very well done. I have another daughter, so I am hoping to be back one day!

No complaints from the bride and me. venue was incredible, we had a ton of say in how everything was decorated for our big day. the owners and staff were quick, polite, very efficient. emails were answered quickly, and they worked with our other vendors to make sure everything was smooth on the big day. we could not have asked for a better experience.

We had a wonderful time hosting our wedding party at The Millennium Center. Greg and the entire staff were so accommodating when we needed to make changes to the date a few months prior to our event. They also had so many options for decor, food, and general tips to help with the flow of the night. They are truly experts at what they do and we cannot recommend them enough. Stop looking and book with them!!

Greg, Edie, Mary and the whole team at Millennium Center truly go above and beyond to make your wedding day the absolute best day of your life. Nothing was too big or small of an ask. The bridal and groom's suite were fully stocked with anything we could want and were amazing spaces to spend time with our bridal party during the day. We had our ceremony in the old federal courthouse upstairs and it was so intimate and dreamy with 200 of our closest friends, then we transitioned downstairs for cocktail hour and our reception. Greg even opened up roof top access for us to take photos during Golden Hour that are truly stunning. And can we talk about the FOOD?! We had so many people come up and say the food we had for our buffet "Was not wedding food" with many calling it "a 5 star meal." We even added a "late night bite" a month out and Greg and his team pulled out the most delicious french fry bar, it was a huge hit. Our band LOVED the full stage and in house tech-team, and we truly had a party from the moment it started until our exit, which over 100 people stayed for because the vibes were immaculate. The pricing was the actual best in the state. Don't want to worry about linen, table and chair rentals and the massive fees that come with them? Don't want to be stuck with in-house planner fees and searching for mid-at-best wedding catering? Struggling to fork over thousands of dollars for florals you will use for six hours? Greg thinks through and offers options for all of this for you, and takes care of labor and services so it is off your plate for the fairest cost that you truly would not believe in comparison to other vendors. Oh, and he pulled all of this together in under 7 months so we could get the discount for an off-season wedding with him and our vendors and not have to sweat on our wedding day! Millennium Center is the venue for you. We are so thankful for all that Greg and his team did and we truly feel like we are apart of the family now!

We had our daughters engagement party at the Millenium Center. We had 300 guests attend the night was amazing the most enjoyable evening. Everyone left enthusiastic with the venue drinks and the delicious food!

Our wedding February 14th 2023 what's the most memorable and the best experience that I have ever experienced in my whole entire life I recommend millennium center to anyone who wants to get married.

We got married in December 2022 and could not have asked for a more perfect day. The venue itself is gorgeous and the location is super convenient, especially for out of town guests. Greg and his team were responsive, accommodating and fun to work with. They made thoughtful suggestions that took our ideas to the next level. The food was delicious, from cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres to the main course. We also had them do our bouquets and floral arrangements, which turned out beautifully. I'd highly recommend to anyone looking for their dream wedding!
