Steeple Square
We had a great experience having our wedding ceremony and rehearsal dinner at Steeple Square even though things seemed uncertain at times with COVID. Melanie was wonderful to work with and always quick to respond to my many questions and emails. The staff was very attentive the day of the wedding and made sure everything went smoothly without any issues. We certainly couldn’t have done it without them! The space is absolutely stunning and I got so many compliments on its beauty. We really enjoyed the outdoor area as well for photographs and our first look. I would highly recommend Steeple Square to anyone planning their wedding who wants a classic yet unique venue.

Great Venue
I got married in June 2021 and Steeple Sqaure was a dream to work with. Melanie, the campus manager, was wonderful from beginning to end. She was very organized and helped us plan what was essentially a perfect day. The bartenders we had that evening were also very friendly and professional. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and with recent renovations it looks even more magical.

What an amazing day!
This venue is gorgeous and Melanie was great to work with! Covid impacted our planning (had to move our ceremony venue) and Melanie jumped right in to go the extra mile to make sure this venue change would work for us! Our families loved the classic church feel, with it still being a nondenominational venue. Great for anyone who wants classic and traditional, with some modern twists and contemporary esthetic.

Excellent and Beautiful Venue
My take…
Steeple Square was the perfect place for our son and his new wife to have their wedding ceremony! The restoration of of the building is amazing. All of our questions and concerns were answered in a timely manner. And most importantly the bride and groom were happy and didn’t have to worry about a thing. 10 out of 10!
