The Perfect Outdoor Fall Wedding

My husband and I got married at CityGate Grille on 09/23/23, and could not recommend this venue enough! The scenery was beautiful and we had the perfect ceremony by the pond, a dreamy cocktail hour on the outdoor patio, and a fun-filled reception inside the Terrace room. The staff at CityGate were incredibly nice and professional, and the food was so delicious! This venue offers the whole package, of outdoor and indoor space. Your guests will love it.

Katie was one of the best parts about getting married at CityGate. She helped us plan and perfect every little detail, and calmed all of my nerves about anything that could possibly go wrong. Her attention to detail and organization helped the day run so smoothly, and she was so much fun to work with. She perfectly executed the vision I had for the day and suggested options I hadn’t even thought of. Thank you Katie for helping us have the perfect wedding day! You were so wonderful to work with.

It was also wonderful that so many of our guests could stay right down the street at Hotel Arista, and we had a super fun after party at Tap-In Pub, as well as a brunch the next morning in one of Hotel Arista’s banquet rooms. Everyone at CityGate/Hotel Arista was incredible, and I could not recommend them enough for all of your wedding festivities.

City gate grille, was amazing from my 1st visit to wedding day. The food was delicious, and drinks were great. Our coordinator Katie was so helpful from start to finish. She explained all details and makes sure the ceremony and reception is looking flawless. I would recommend this venue at any point.
