Facilities and Capacity

Matthew Crowe at The Main Created The Wedding of our Dreams

When shopping around for venues, my husband and I were looking for a classic, ballroom feel. We thought The Main was the perfect fit for our goal aesthetic. After meeting with Matthew Crowe for the first time, we knew we were in good hands. His passion for his job shines through and his creativity and talent is clear!! He helped us establish our vision for the wedding cocktail hour and reception, guiding us along the way and making us feel comfortable whenever we had requests or questions. He communicated quickly and efficiently, and was extremely hands on. I can't describe how impressed we were!! At our wedding reception, Matthew was there every step of the way lending a helping hand and supervising operations. Using The Main as our wedding cocktail hour and reception venue was the best decision we could've made! The hotel staff and our room block coordinators were fantastic as well. We highly recommend using The Main for your wedding or any special event.

Best Venue for your wedding in Norfolk!

If you are looking for the best place to host your event in Norfolk, you found it! I am a professional DJ and I work several wedding events here every year and already have some lined up for next year. Before this year is over, I wanted to take the time and share with all review readers how grateful I am for the opportunity to be able to collaborate with such a great venue and the talented team that makes magic happen every time I am there. They communicate well with vendors, everything is always clean and looks amazing, and the layout options are awesome. I must shout out Matthew, by far their most valuable asset at The Main in my opinion, I hope you are lucky enough to get to work with him to execute the vision you have for your event. They surely go above and beyond for their clients to have the best time ever. Go see for yourself, book your event here!

Truly Wonderful

I think I speak for most brides when I say wedding planning is an absolutely daunting task. When I first started I was so overwhelmed….until I went to The Main and met Matthew. I truly cannot say enough positive things about Matthew. He is professional, personable, creative, organized, prompt, funny, incredibly hard working, and just an absolute joy of a person. My wedding was exactly what I dreamed it would be and I knew each detail was hand selected for me by Matthew. He took the time to know me, my fiancé, and my family which made us feel so comfortable and confident on the big day. I could honestly go on and on about how wonderful Matthew is, I need to have another event soon JUST so I get to work with him again. Booking Matthew at The Main should be the easiest wedding planning decision you make!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
