Wedding 4/26/24

Absolutely loved this venue. This was the first venue we toured and we knew that we had to book it. They were kind and accommodating from start to finish. They were the perfect space for our food truck wedding with around 110 guests. The staff were professional and helped the day go seamlessly. Would 100% book again!

Incredible Experience at 501!

We got married in April 2024 and had about 1.5 years of planning with the 501 Union team and since day 1, they were incredible to us. Abby helped us through every single step and answered all the questions we had, big and small. They were on top of everything for us which made planning so much easier. On the day of the wedding, they delivered. They were organized and professional and the space was just absolutely perfect for our wedding size (around 130ppl). No complaints or notes from this very happy couple! We would do it all over again the same exact way if we could.
