The first and most important aspect for our wedding was to find the perfect venue. We wanted a modern, beautiful setting; but more importantly, since we were planning this from California, we wanted a venue that included everything, and Hotel Covington provided it all. We held our ceremony on the lawn and our intimate reception in Schepers' dining room, and the night was absolutely magical.
In the early stages of planning, I believe Hotel Covington was acquired by Madison Events, so there was a bit of shuffling with employees including our point of contact a few times. However, they were always completely transparent and prompt to let us know when these changes were occurring, and eventually we ended up working with Zoe Mendenhall, who was absolutely amazing to work with. No matter how many ridiculous questions I could come up with, she always cheerfully answered them and responses to emails came within a day. She truly helped to keep me sane while planning a wedding from the other side of the country. The day of the wedding, we also worked with Patty and a few others that kept the day moving along perfectly.
On top of incredible staff, the food was absolutely phenomenal. Several people told me that it was the best wedding food they had ever had, and it really was delicious. I wish I could have those chicken meatballs every day of my life! They were even able to make a few adjustments to specific items to fit our menu.
Finally, the hotel amenities were beyond perfect for accommodating our guests. We easily set up a block, so many guests stayed for the weekend. The convenience of having the wedding, a restaurant, and guest rooms all in one building can't be beat for an eventful weekend (plus you can just delete the whole "transportation" portion of your wedding budget, lol).
I could say so much more about Hotel Covington, but the main thing I want anyone reading this to know is that if you go with Hotel Covington for your wedding venue, you won't regret it. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding weekend!

Everything from, planning meetings, tastings, set up, staffing, and breakdown was absolute perfection. I truly couldn't be more grateful for the team at Hotel Covington. Our wedding day was pure magic and it was in large part due to the seamlessness of our reception and the attentiveness of the staff. Wish I could relive this day over and over again!

Professional, courteous, responsive staff from my first contact through the evening of our event. Delicious food, beautiful space and reasonably priced. Thank you Riley, Chenae, and the ladies who served for making my son's rehearsal dinner a beautiful event!
