Round of applause for NOOR

I love love love this venue! Our wedding was beautiful and having the outdoor ceremony with an indoor reception was perfect for an evening wedding. The staff was extremely helpful and kind. The food was amazing down to the last bite. Everything was AMAZING! Thank you NOOR and the team for making my vision come to life!

The staff, the food, and the venue was perfect! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

From the very beginning, NOOR has been nothing but top-notch. We first communicated with Bridget and was very happy with how detailed and transparent she was about pricing. We knew exactly what we were getting and we barely had any follow up questions. When we went to see Noor, we were blown away. The place was spotless, newly renovated, and stunning. We immediately knew this was the place to celebrate our reception. We booked the same day and are so happy we did!

Emma was our event coordinator and we corresponded with her throughout the planning process. She always responded to our emails promptly and made the process so easy. We had last minute updates the week of the wedding and she never made us feel like we couldn't approach her.

Noor has this wedding thing down. The very detailed requests they had of our event details made me feel secure about how prepared they will be on the day.

Everything was perfect on our wedding day! We got compliments on how beautiful the place was, how good the drinks were, and especially about how yummy the food was. We are so blessed we found Noor when we did. We have noting to complain about.

We recommend Noor to anyone, especially brides who are planning their own wedding. Noor will make your planning easier.

Thank you Bridget and Anna for everything! God bless and I hope you make many more couples happy with your service!

A great all-in-one venue for small to medium weddings

We hosted a wedding at Noor Ella Ballroom last weekend and had a great experience. The staff is attentive and easy-to-work with and takes the initiative on guiding the bride and groom through different options and handling last minute details.

The ballroom comfortably held 60 guests with dance floor and vendors. There was also an outdoor area that was popular because of COVID. We recommend reserving rooms at the Hyatt hotel (as it is easy walking distance to the venue). The liquid nitrogen ice cream add on was a big hit.

We were looking for a small-to-medium wedding venue at a moderate price point with an attentive staff and Noor was a perfect fit.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
