The Beck Event Space was the loveliest place for my daughter's wedding. The entire experience far exceeded our expectations and we could not be happier with how beautiful everything was! The staff/owners went out of their way to help us with every detail.
The price was unbelievable considering how amazing this space is.
It was so easy to decorate because the space itself is just breathtaking.
The many windows provide beautiful natural lighting during the afternoon and then the space is stunning inside once they turn on the evening lights. Our photographer said you couldn't take one bad picture in the space!
They have thought of every detail from a large bridal suite, plenty of space for family to gather, a large industrial kitchen and an incredible space for the wedding and reception without having to flip or move tables or chairs.
We would highly recommend this venue. It was a magical evening we will never forget. The Beck Event Space helped us to create the wedding she had always dreamed of!

An Unforgettable Space for Unforgettable Events!

The non-profit organization I work closely with just held our New Year's Eve gala style event at the stunning Beck Event Space. Our guests raved about the beauty of the space all evening long. Several remarked that every inch of the space feels expertly done and photo worthy. Since the space itself is so gorgeous, our team was able to focus our decor on table centerpieces which also helped us stay on budget. Finally, both owners Scott and Jill are incredible to work with and went above and beyond to make sure the night was perfect.

The owner (Scott) was there to supply us with mics when our DJ was having troubles so we could get the night going. The owner makes sure you have everything you will need or want on your special day! Scott lets you pick out which seating arrangement you prefer. I would recommend this venue/reception to anyone. It's already beautiful so it will save the cost on decor.

We got married at The Beck in June and had the most amazing experience. We did both our ceremony and reception there and everything went without a hitch! I can't say enough good things about Scott and the rest of the staff! Scott was absolutely fantastic to work with. He was so helpful throughout the entire process even when we changed our minds a couple times on floor plan. He has great ideas and understanding of how the whole wedding planning process goes and was very organized! I was able to easily get a hold of him whenever I had questions. The space is stunning and we got so many compliments from our guests!
We really loved our entire experience and are so sad it's over! Highly recommend!! You will not be disappointed.

My husband and I held our wedding at the Beck Event Space on August 12th, we could not have asked for a better venue or a more perfect night! From the time we signed the contract, to the date of the wedding, everything went off without a hitch, including a last minute change of date that moved our event up four months! Scott Beck was great to work with and made sure that we had everything in line for our big day, including emails to check in and even helping us track down a couple of last minute decor items like table clothes the week of the wedding. All of our guests raved all night about how beautiful and perfect the venue was. When we signed out contract the venue was in the final stages of construction and we could not be more happy about the final outcome. I would recommend the Beck to anyone looking for a place to have their ceremony and/or reception!

Amazing Experience

The Beck Event Space was absolutely perfect for our wedding day! The venue itself is gorgeous and well-laid out. Jill and Scott are amazing people to work with - responsive, flexible, and kind! They truly care about you and work hard to make your day run as smoothly and beautifully as possible. We would highly recommend the Beck Event Space to any couple! We had an amazing experience!

The vendors were great to work with and helped out with a bunch of little things. They even blocked off the parking lot days before our wedding to be sure people weren’t using it up.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
