Northern Stacks

We got married at Northern Stacks events and can’t say enough good things about the venue and staff. The venue itself is very chic and made for a bunch of good photos for us and our families. We heard from a number of guests that this was their favorite wedding venue they’ve been to. The staff was so accommodating and listened to all our questions. We also couldn’t have asked for them to do more. They worked so hard to make our day special. You won’t be disappointed if you go with Northern Stacks Events!

Great spot to host our groom's dinner!

Northern Stacks Events at Forgotten Star Brewery was a great place to host our groom’s dinner. The room is naturally beautiful, and they provided us plenty of time to set up day-of. Jesse was great in working with us to achieve exactly what we needed. His communication was timely, and was great at answering all of our questions. The bar staff was kind and handled our group well!

Beautiful, private and stunning venue!

I have zero regrets choosing Northern Stacks for our venue. We had a wedding for 100 plus guests and it was nothing short of amazing. Beautiful space, added privacy of being located in a warehouse district and Jesse and his staff were extremely accommodating and pleasant to work with.

Fantastic!

What a perfect space! This venue is unique in its combination of spaces (indoor and outdoor) and its modern/industrial feel. It is gorgeous and the venue manager (Jesse) is so easy to work with. I am so glad we chose to have our reception here!

The Perfect Space!

This was the most perfect venue, and the venue staff was incredible! We got married during COVID and used this space for our reception two years later. We couldn't have imagined a more perfect space. The venue is beautiful and our experience with the staff was all positive. Jesse (the venue owner) was extremely responsive to all questions and accommodating to exactly what we wanted our day to look like! The venue coordinator the day of made sure things went smoothly, and they absolutely did. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a 130-150 person wedding and reception!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
