Sensational Reception

My husband and I just held our micro wedding in their Oak Room and let me start off by saying the entire restaurant is STUNNING. The Oak Room is already decorated with a beautiful mural and lot of greenery that helped us achieve a romantic evening with our friends and family. The staff from start to finish was EXCELLENT. The sales team both Elizabeth and Jared were incredibly kind, responsive, informative, and helpful. Jessica the event coordinator was attentive, kind, and incredibly helpful in all aspects to setting up our big day. The staff we had working our room were some of the best staff we have ever encounter at any restaurant, they continuously made sure my husband and I were good but also made sure that our parents and grandparents were okay as well. They made our entire guest feel cared for to the highest extent, I wish I could remember all of their names to have them recognized for their outstanding services. The food and beverages at 618 are out of this world, we had people getting up from their tables with their plates in their hands to tell us how delicious their food was. 618 went above and beyond our expectations, they helped design signs, offered decor, and so much more to help make this day perfect for us. We could not have picked a better place to host our wedding reception. We are grateful for the entire team at 618 and cannot wait to come back for events and dinners as it has become our tradition and celebratory location!

Best wedding venue and restaurant ever.

I am so happy we went with 618 they did an outstanding job with our wedding and rehearsal dinner. From the ambiance to the delicious food they knocked it out of the park. It was magical and the staff is so professional and nice. I can’t wait to keep going back. I miss it already. I just got married on November 3rd so no photos yet of the venue but I will add when I get them back. Seriously pick this venue they made my husband and I feel like royalty and everything went so smooth they whole day.

Amazing service!

We hosted our rehearsal dinner there on a Friday night. Everything was simply amazing! June was our main server for the evening. She was VERY attentive. My husband and I never had to ask her for a thing. She made sure the food was served on time and that we got our food first. The bartender was also on top of everything. They made us feel so welcome and we felt like family to them. We all even hugged to say goodbye when it was time to leave. AMAZING service and AMAZING place. Definitely recommend for you event.

Love this place so much!

We had the best experience with 618. The food is unbelievable, everyone agreed it easily was some of the best wedding food they have ever had. The service was impeccable, from accommodating guests with dietary restrictions, to answering my million questions, to finding the perfect balance in being available to offer support without nagging this place is professional, and don’t forget stunning. It’s a mix of rustic elegance with industrial glam. Love love this place, a true hidden gem.

You will be pleasantly satisfied.

618 and their team were everything a bride and groom could ask for.

They made our vision come alive!

The professionalism and absolute joy it was to work with Colin, their maitre d! He is everything a maitre d should be! He will make many brides and grooms feel their best on their big day. And Jessica - the main event coordinator - with her control we had nothing to worry about. Jessica is wonderful with quick responses and chameleon’s herself to make her brides feel special and at ease.

We worried for nothing; our guests raved (overwhelmingly so) on how fantastic the food was. How impeccable and polite the service was!

No bride will be disappointed when choosing 618! I surely wasn’t!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
