More than I could have dreamed of!

I had a very large wedding reception in this facility. They treated us like family. As nervous as many of the main players were, the staff was always there to greet and make sure everything went smoothly. They also did some extra special things that the guests loved. I just remember having an issue with my outfit before going in, they immediately took me into a side room so I could get things fixed up and communicated any delays. The food we catered from their restaurant was a huge HIT! We asked for some special accommodations and they were more than willing to provide them.

My daughter’s Sweet 16

My daughter selected this venue for her sweet 16. Tiffany was amazing start to finish. The room is already beautifully decorated so our crew only had to come and add minor glam factors to make my daughter’s vision come to life.
The catering staff were all amazing; very thorough and attentive; however, Rene was the star of my night! Thank you all for making her dream come true!!

Best Wedding Venue

I had my NYE wedding at 1881 and it was literally the best decision I ever made. EVERYONE there was absolutely amazing and attentive. They truly made my day way less stressful. I was able to customize and put my own touch on everything. Tiffany was an absolute pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend having your event, whatever it is, here. Also I had A LOT of compliments on our reception dinner (catered by Heirloom, which is in the same building!). Seriously cannot say enough nice things about everyone at 1881 and my experience with them!

We had a very satisfactory relaxed enjoyable time planning and enjoying the event. We let 1881 handle everything from A to Z

We had a great event that everyone of our guests have said was so elegant fun and amazingly planned.
We used 1881 events to do it all. Their teams: Tiffany and team , Chef JR and team and Courtney and team who had stepped in last minute all of them did a stupendous job. The food was an amazing array from different cultures and palates and everyone had something that they loved.
I would highly recommend let them do it all for you as we had no issues and they did everything so we were totally free to do what we wanted and enjoy our time while the teams did all the work.
Our event was Feb 29 th and our guests are still talking about it. So
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😍😍😍

Summit Point was a great place to use for big events. They came highly recommended and you get value for your money. Johanne was very accommodating.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
