Dream wedding came true!!!

Just got married at the century and let me tell you this venue is sooooo beautiful. 10 + stars. The service and team at the century are hands down the best even the food and bar drinks. I did not have to worry about a thing. My guests could not stop talking about this venue they wish my wedding didn’t end.So much fun! My coordinator Allison was incredible. She made the whole wedding planning an ease. Not only was Allison my coordinator but a high school friend. She made my vision come to life on my wedding day. Can’t thank Allison and the century team enough. You will not regret having your wedding at the century. Look no further and book the century. Will definitely be doing more events at the century in the future.

Wedding 4.11.2025

When I started my venue hunt I knew I wanted an all inclusive venue that offered a space for ceremony, reception and get ready rooms for myself (bride) and the groom. Not only that but a space that had a natural beauty. When I came across The Century on Facebook and Yelp, it had caught my attention and I had to schedule a tour right away. As soon as we got to the venue for our first tour and meeting, I instantly knew it was the venue I had been looking for. The venue overall was beautiful, such a perfect backdrop for a wedding that you don't need to do much but add your own personal touch to make it more personalized. Without any hesitation, we had booked and secured our wedding date April 11, 2025.

Erica, Venue Manager and coordinator, WAS AMAZING!!!! She guided us through everything, she is very attentive, incredibly polite and patient. She made us feel comfortable and the whole process felt so smooth, easy and stress free. Whenever I had any questions, Erica was quick to answer.

OMG then the food, let me tell you our guest could not stop talking about the food. They enjoyed everything that was served. Thank you Chef Rob and the whole team for the amazing food!! The food tasting experience was great and the quality stayed consistent on the day of wedding. They were also accommodating to our concerns regarding any food allergies.

I did have a concern about not allowing shots of liquor, but on wedding day there was no complaints from anyone. All our guest enjoyed the signature cocktails (Blackberry Mule, Hibiscus Margarita and Old Fashioned).

The vision we had was really brought to life. I was definitely able to just enjoy our wedding day and be present! Erica and team handled every detail during wedding day, from setting up to breaking down (clean up). Wedding day went by so fast, but was so flawless.

I highly recommend!!
Thank you Erica!! Thank you Chef Rob!! Thank you to The Century team!!!

Full Service Experience

The Century is an excellent choice for any event. My wife and I had our wedding reception at the venue and it was the best possible experience. The team at the Century is warm, welcoming, and flexible. They adapt to any situation presented. The food was amazing, the drinks were fantastic and entertaining. The space felt intimate and still had enough space for all our needs. Erica Ford is enthusiastic, passionate, and genuinely loves to work with her clients. If you are looking for an event space, this is the one for you.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
