10/10 recommend

UT was a dream! Absolutely wonderful people to work with and they make it really easy for you as well. Daria, the coordinator I worked with was very responsive and helpful, probably to a point past her job description but of course she built so much trust and it was so easy to just put my faith in this team and let everything play out stress free! And of course EVERYTHING played out perfectly, they are a well-oiled machine.

Aside from the back end component, the food was so good (hearing that over and over from guests), staff was extremely efficient in service (bar, tableside, etc) and of course the space is so stunning. So glad we went with this venue and team!

Absolute perfection.

I wish I could provide a higher rating than 5 stars. Not to be cheesy, but they simply ARE the best. We booked at Finley because of their reputation of hospitality and food. But they exceeded our expectations. From the beginning, the planning process was seamless and Daria was the greatest at answering all our questions. We had the ceremony and afterparty at the venue space as well and it was amazing how well everything was run. As the bride, I was overwhelmed with planning a wedding. However, my mind was at ease knowing that Finley takes care of everything. After our final meeting with our day of coordinator, Thomas, I went into the day so calm. The venue was breathtaking and we loved that we utilized the levels for the ceremony and reception entrance. Everything was absolutely perfect. Lisa was the day-of attendant and she was wonderful. She helped me calm myself before walking down the aisle, and was there all night making sure I had everything that I needed. Our guests were blown away by everything – the venue, the sparklers, and the food. There was so much food for cocktail hour, dinner was restaurant-quality, and the dessert bar was a huge hit. I can’t wait to attend a Finley venue as a guest and be able to enjoy their perfection again!

The most perfect wedding

We got married at Union Trust in October 2023 and it was perfection! Everyone had the most incredible things to say about the venue, the staff and the food - declared by many the best food they have ever had at a wedding! Don’t sleep on the dessert bar - so good! Michelle was incredible every step of the way and Thomas was the best. The moment we arrived, we could relax because we were in such capable hands.

We are so grateful to have celebrated our wedding at Union Trust!
