Look no further for painless planning/set up/tear down.

I am SO happy my now husband found Events at Refinery when we were looking at venues for our wedding. I was disappointed in a location that looked perfect online, and we felt baited and switched. He was set on finding me a dream venue that included a coordinator with knowledge to guide my very stressed self. The Refinery was MORE than a dream come true.
The venue itself is incredibly affordable, and then I balled out on the extras (Photo Booth, personalized monogram, decorated head table, concierge service, bar services, groom suite, extra hour, etc.)
Not only is it a beautiful venue. Not only are there additional services and decorations to rent. Not only did they have on-site bride and groom suites. These are all huge factors that got us in the door, but Chris Chesnut is the gem that made us turn right back around after we left to book it.
I think I talked my friends’ and family’s ears off with how many times I raved about him and called him a literal angel. And when they met him, they understood.
I used the concierge service he offered to meet with several photographers, caterers, DJs, cake artists, and florists. He made the calls, set up the meetings, I showed up, we discussed, and he made the acceptance/rejection calls. He also suggested hair, makeup, and a hotel that offered shuttles. I went from a very anxious ball of stress to only a slightly anxious ball of stress.
My family doesn’t “do” weddings, so I had no experience to draw from beyond Pinterest. Chris is so knowledgeable on every aspect of the planning, design, what looks good, etc. I asked him so many questions and he answered them quickly and never seemed impatient or made feel stupid for not knowing. Even questions about what colors looked good together or what a call drink was didn’t annoy him.
Above everything, he’s happy and fun. I not only love him as a coordinator, but I love him as a person and I’m glad our paths in life crossed. When things would inevitably change or not go to plan, I knew I could look to him for a grounded center.

I worked with Chris who was absolutely amazing down to the very last minute! He literally helped my vision come to life. He always made sure I met my deadlines and answered any of my 1000 questions. He was there for me when I was frantic and helped ease my worries. He worked greatly with a few new vendors I brought his way and made them feel welcome and made sure they had what they needed. Thank you Chris for making our wedding day not only look amazing but run with ease!! ❤️🙌🏼 I would highly recommend working with Chris at Events at Refinery to all the future bride and grooms out there.

We got married 08/14/21 and it was best. Day. Ever!!! They went above and beyond to make sure our day went perfectly! I will recommend Chris and the rest of the team to everybody!
