Best wedding ever!!

We truly could not have asked for a better venue and catering team for our wedding! We had the best time and really feel like the night went perfectly.

The food was absolutely amazing, and we’ve heard so many compliments from our guests about how delicious everything was. We also loved what they did with the outdoor area, it looked so beautiful and made the whole space feel exactly how we hoped it would.

We’re also so grateful for all of the communication and help throughout the planning process. From touring the space to doing the tasting, everything was so much fun, and we always felt like we were in good hands.

Thank you again to the whole team for helping make our wedding day so amazing. We really could not have asked for a better experience!

They saved our wedding!

I am not exaggerating when I say that Palmhouse saved our wedding. Due to circumstances outside our control, we lost our initial wedding/reception venue just six weeks before our wedding. On the advice of a friend in the wedding industry we reached out to Palmhouse, as they were a new venue. I'm so thankful we ended up at Palmhouse, they made our day so incredibly magical. India responded to our panicked email within a few hours and was so incredibly kind, reassuring, and helpful.

Before I talk about the space itself, I do want to hype up India and the team at Palmhouse. First off, she was incredibly flexible. While we rented the space for 12 hours, she was flexible with decor drop off, and pickup. India was always prompt in response to inquiries and was happy to be helpful in any way possible.

Now to talk about the space itself: Palmhouse is gorgeous. The outdoor space allows you to have your ceremony against their incredibly striking teal wall, or a red brick backdrop on the other side. The lighting is perfect for late summer, and the outdoor patio space is also great for cocktails. Indoors the two rooms allow for a flexible cocktail space, and dancing space. It also includes two prep rooms for each member of the wedding party. You can see from the photos but the teal and brick interior is both striking and unique. It feels like a place where you want to celebrate.

Palmhouse does have an exclusive liquor vendor but don't worry, they are outstanding. Hardly Shaken made us amazing cocktails, had a wonderful staff, and even gave us a booze tasting (don't drive, Janek makes a strong drink)

There are a million other things I could say but this is what was most important: India and her team genuinely cared about our event. On just 6 weeks notice they helped us have the exact wedding we wanted. They wanted it to be special, and that sort of care radiates through the entire venue and team. I recommend them wholeheartedly for your wedding, or any other event.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
