The union made our wedding the perfect day. They go out of their to personalize your day without nickel and diming you.

We had our reception in the Purdue Memorial Union, North Ballroom. The food was amazing! We worked with their wedding planner, Casey, and she was very flexible and professional in assisting us with our wedding. The best part was on the day of the wedding, the Purdue Memorial Union Staff took care of setting up for the reception by working with the cake and flower vendors when they delivered. It made my day less stressful and I recommend this venue if your are in the Lafayette or West Lafayette area!

Working with Casey Dexter and her staff was a wonderful experience. While planning the wedding (from Seattle) she was helpful and great to work with. The ballroom, food and drink, and service were above and beyond what I expected.

We used the Anniversary Drawing Room for about 45 guests for our Saturday evening reception. The room looked beautiful, the staff was very attentive, and the food was marvelous!

However, when we left for about an hour to ride the Boilermaker Express (a pre-planned activity), we came back and our reception had been shut down due to a miscommunication between our coordinator and the catering staff. We were very disappointed, especially because everyone had come in from out of state to attend the wedding and our reception was shut down by 8pm, which resulted in most of our guests going back to the hotel with nothing to do.

That being said, we spoke with our coordinator about the situation and she not only took full responsibility but also offered a sizeable refund as compensation for the situation, which made us feel a lot better about what had happened. Some better and more clear communication up front could have prevented the situation, so if you're planning a wedding from out of state, don't be afraid to call or email as many times as it takes to iron out every detail of your ceremony and reception!

I worked with Casey at the Union and she helped with all the planning for the reception. You can have it as customized as you want. Very professional, great food, great service, everything was what we hoped for!

Their service was so bad, I wrote a 4 page letter regarding the events of the day prior and the day of the reception. Feel free to email me if you would like to see it.

The Purdue Union is a wonderful place to have a reception. You do have to use their catering, but their food is fabulous. Casey Dexter is great to work with, they are VERY accomodating and fun to work with!

The Purdue Memorial Union was a great value for the service. Full sit down dinners began at just $21. They had a wide choice of food, and it actually tasted extremely good! Casey Dexter took charge from day one. She gave us several ideas of what we could do during the reception. She also provided names of musicians in the area. On the day of the wedding, her team set up the reception area with our decorations at no additional charge. I was fully pleased at what the Union did for our wedding, especially since it was during a Purdue home football game. I would definitely recommend contacting the Union for your wedding!

They were very good. The white glove service was nice and the food was AMAZING. Our guests still comment about how good the food was. It was a bit expensive but worth it.

Having our reception at the Purdue Union was a tremendous deal. You don't have to be Purdue students to have your reception there, and included in your package are your centerpieces and decorations (you can bring in your own still too if you want), all the food, ice sculpture, beautiful set up and presentation, white glove service, 'bride & groom' chocolate covered strawberries, and lots more!

We had the ceremony and reception in the same ballroom. Purdue staff made the event easy. Service was excellent. We had a generous taste testing. They cut and served the cake at no additional cost and with a certain amount of food purchase the room is free. This was excellent deal, and a beautiful setting for some beautiful pictures.
