This event space is incredible. Everything was as advertised and better! They made everything happen. Very human team to work with! Everyone was so responsive with excellent communication and recommendations. I planned a wedding with them for 100 people remotely and it went perfectly. Thanks Kristi and Kara!

A truely exceptional experience
I had my entire wedding at Opal 28 and am absolutely thrilled about the way everything went. I’m so glad I stumbled upon it. The space itself is modern and classy. I honestly would not change a thing about the space or my experience with the event/venue/staff. The staff is what takes Opal 28 to the next level.
I worked with Kara - who is an absolute angel - such a calming, professional, and confident individual. I had no worries and trusted her entirely to make my small vision come true.
Kara oversaw every detail and executed it flawlessly. I could not have asked for a better experience.
She coordinated all the vendors - who by the way were absolutely on point and the food was fantastic. Also little shoutout to Dan - he’s an fantastic human and a top notch bartender.
Thank you to the entire Opal 28 team, we’ll forever be thankful for pulling off our dream!

You are definitely right about Kara & Dan being fantastic humans, but you also deserve some credit, because the vision for your brunch wedding was gorgeous & elegant.
Hope to work with you again soon! Annual anniversaries?
