Seamless Wedding Day

We had both our ceremony (North Ballroom) and reception (South Ballroom) at the Purdue Memorial Union. Kyla, was our point of contact and she was absolutely incredible to work with. In fact the entire staff we came across was phenomenal- to the point where even our guests complimented it (hotel & venue staff included). Everything went off without a hitch due to their high level communication and efficiency. I could not be more grateful to have had my wedding at the place where our love story began.

I even booked the Anniversary drawing room for getting ready with my bridesmaids. We paid for catered brunch , and the staff was excellent. The food at the actual wedding was mouth watering as well.


If you are debating booking them- do it! The cost for high level and quality service beats out so many others with what they include and service add one they have available.

We had our reception in the Purdue Memorial Union, North Ballroom. The food was amazing! We worked with their wedding planner, Casey, and she was very flexible and professional in assisting us with our wedding. The best part was on the day of the wedding, the Purdue Memorial Union Staff took care of setting up for the reception by working with the cake and flower vendors when they delivered. It made my day less stressful and I recommend this venue if your are in the Lafayette or West Lafayette area!

The Purdue Union is a wonderful place to have a reception. You do have to use their catering, but their food is fabulous. Casey Dexter is great to work with, they are VERY accomodating and fun to work with!

We had the ceremony and reception in the same ballroom. Purdue staff made the event easy. Service was excellent. We had a generous taste testing. They cut and served the cake at no additional cost and with a certain amount of food purchase the room is free. This was excellent deal, and a beautiful setting for some beautiful pictures.

Having our reception at the Purdue Union was a tremendous deal. You don't have to be Purdue students to have your reception there, and included in your package are your centerpieces and decorations (you can bring in your own still too if you want), all the food, ice sculpture, beautiful set up and presentation, white glove service, 'bride & groom' chocolate covered strawberries, and lots more!

We originally worked with Ashley Hutchcraft for setting up all our details. She moved on to a new position and we finished working with Kathryn Walters. Both of them were wonderful to work with, though most of our planning was done with Ashley. She was very flexible with us for moving the location of our reception to a different room, getting the layout of the room altered, and picking our food stuffs. The location was beautiful and the food was so good! Our guests couldn't stop raving about the complimentary chocolate covered strawberries we had received. The service during the reception was exceptional! I only wished there had been more Moscato (they ran out, but the Chardonnay was good too).
