Reviews of The Aerie Ballroom

Historic venue with tons of space

When we viewed the three venues that were near the Centralia Grand Ballroom we had our heart set on the Library Annex, but realized it would be too small. Jodi took us across the street to the Aerie and we fell in love with the space-and there is SO much space! Jodi and Neil are amazing. They responded quickly to any questions we had, let us tour the venue a handful of times, and were so friendly and welcoming, almost like we were guests in their home. The day of the wedding went perfectly, and Jodi was there if we needed her.
I love this venue so much, and it holds a special memory for my husband and I. We highly recommend this venue, and the owners!

Perfect venue

This space was amazing! The owners were so flexible and really cared about our event. Their weekend package with access Friday night for set-up and Sunday morning for clean-up made our wedding such a stress free experience. This venue is truly a hidden gem and guests adored the space.

So many great things I could say about this venue! First off you get so much bang for your buck and for the area we live in many other venues couldn't beat their price. Every question I had I got an answer beyond quickly and I felt so comfortable working with them!! I recommend them every time!!

Neil and Jodi own two amazing locations: Centralia Grand Hotel and Ballroom and Aerie Ballroom. The locations are a block away from each and we utilized both for our wedding.

After an extensive hunt of wedding venues, none of which we loved, we took the drive to Centralia to tour the hotel and the Aerie. Neil met us at the front desk and showed us around the hotel first. His friendliness and professionalism shined through immediately. He is so warm and inviting. The hotel is ridiculously beautiful and Neil gave us a history of the building and all the charm and love that has gone into keeping it in impeccable condition.

We then walked down the street to the Aerie. The second we walked in, we knew this was our venue. Neil and Jodi have done an incredible job of maintaining the almost 100-year-old building. We paid our deposit and signed our contract that day.

We blocked out almost all the rooms at Centralia Grand Hotel for ourselves, our parents, and our bridal parties. Upon checking in, we were greeted with complimentary champagne. Every staff member we encountered were welcoming and attentive. The rooms are comfortable and have an amazing old-school charm that you must experience.

We had our rehearsal dinner, as well as our wedding ceremony and reception at The Aerie. Our entire weekend was perfect thanks to Neil and Jodi, their team, and the stunning buildings in which we had the privilege of utilizing for our wedding.

Upon checking out, the front desk had gathered some items that were left at the Aerie after our wedding and ensured that we got them back. They also gave us a complimentary bottle of wine as their congratulations. Additionally, a few weeks after our wedding, we received a package in the mail with other items that had been found after our stay.

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding weekend! We plan on staying there in the future and we recommend them for any event.

The Aerie Ballroom was absolutely amazing for our wedding! We rented the entire facility for the weekend and it kept the stress level down because we weren't rushed to complete everything in one day. We only had to do minimal decorating because the facility is so well maintained and decorated. Jodi and Neal are fantastic! They are extremely kind, helpful and knowledgeable. We only toured one other venue before the Aerie but knew immediately that we had to book it. I would most definitely recommend this venue! It would even be perfect for sweet 16 parties, company events, or any other celebration large or small. We couldn't be more pleased!

I grew up in lewis county and when i read The Aerie moto online, "DOWNTOWN ELEGANCE
SMALL TOWN PRICES" I knew that it was worth looking at. Neil showed me the venue twice and both times he was so friendly and welcoming! I love the venue and the price for our wedding!

Neil and Jodie are the owners of not only our ceremony location but our reception location as well. They were a true pleasure to work with and we couldn't have had a better experience. while i fell in love with the grand ballroom for our ceremony i knew that the Aerie ballroom would be the place to party! It has amazing kitchens, a gorgeous bar area and even a place upstairs to just get away from it all!

Absolutely perfect venue! We wanted a beautiful place where we could have our fairytale wedding while bringing in all of our own vendors and staying in budget and we got it! It's a gorgeous ballroom, perfect size for our 120 guests with ceremony/dancing room. The extra room worked great for our buffet line and the upstairs room were a blast getting ready in (and they also made for stunning photos!) All in all, this place is ridiculously cheap for what you get and the couple who runs it are friendly, easy to work with, and passionate about the beautiful restoration work they've done!

I cannot speak highly enough about how beautiful the Aerie Ballroom is OR how wonderful the owners are. I was so relieved to find out that this too good to be true pricing and uniqueness is actually true! Neil and Jodie are incredible people and they went above and beyond to make my wedding day perfect. I had lots of questions throughout the wedding planning process, and they would respond to my emails withing 24 hours. They also let me tour the venue several times during the wedding planning process to help me make decisions and preparations. They were more than accommodating to my needs. I am SO THANKFUL we picked the Aerie for our wedding.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
