CMU is not what you'd normally think of when you start looking into wedding venues, but that is part of the reason that we chose to have our wedding there. We had our ceremony on the rooftop terrace and our reception in the ballroom of the University Center and it was all beautiful. The staff is very friendly and incredibly helpful. Many of the things that would be additional expenses at other venues are included in the rental cost here (chairs, tables, setup, etc). The venue is nice and clean and easily accessible. Your guests just park in the parking garage attached to the building (for free), take the elevator inside, and that's it! The only downside was that you have to use their catering services, but that honestly did not bother us at all. The catering was flexible, the food was amazing, and everything was so easy since it was all through the same company. The best part was that this venue is less than half the price of almost every other venue in town! Not to mention the money that we saved on renting tables, chairs, linens, etc. Also, the bride and groom's suites have balconies attached to the rooms which made for some really beautiful pictures.
