My new favorite place!

I was having a hard time deciding where I wanted to get married. I tried bouncing ideas off of my now-husband who wanted an outdoor wedding, so we thought of a garden, the beach, a farmhouse... and I checked out places like those. None of them fit the vibe or the budget. So I lost all hope of finding a place... until I saw Commune Norfolk online. It's not outdoors but food would already be a thing that I didn't have to find a third-party vendor for, so me and the hubby went for it. It had an industrial style look with the red brick walls and concrete columns, exposed ceiling air ventilation, huge factory style windows, and cute cafe lights. It screamed "this is my style". The even had "movable walls", which could be rearranged to fit any layout you needed, which I needed for both a ceremony and a reception. I met up with my wedding planner here a couple of times to get things together... and we both ordered food here, because why not? A couple weeks from the big day, we had a tasting and everything was super delicious. The chef was amazing. The staff as well as the owner were very accommodating. I'm glad I got married here... and now, it's my new favorite place for brunch, lunch, whatever.

The day went perfectly

Commune was amazing! We had to move the date multiple times because of the pandemic. Jesse and Jenelle are the event coordinators and they made sure that everything went smoothly. They made sure we didn't miss anything as we neared the wedding date and on the day of we didn't have to lift a finger. The chef put together the most amazing spread of food. Our guests said it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding.

Love commune

Commune was exceptional to work with and provided me, my wife, and both of our families an amazing night full of memories. Pricing was fantastic, the restaurant itself is gorgeous, Sonja accommodated us with anything we needed during planning, service during the wedding was great, and of course the food was excellent as always. 100% recommend.
