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.

The Perfect Wedding

Our wedding reception at The Century was flawless. The venue itself is stunning—timeless, elegant, and perfectly laid out for both dinner and dancing. Erica, our coordinator, was exceptional from start to finish. She anticipated every detail, handled all logistics seamlessly, and made sure we never had to worry about a thing. The entire staff was professional, kind, and clearly experienced in hosting top-tier events.

The food, lighting, and ambiance exceeded our expectations. Everything ran on schedule, and the coordination between vendors was seamless. For the value, it felt like a five-star experience without breaking our budget. We can confidently say The Century made our wedding unforgettable—10/10 in every category.

My experience at The Century

I cannot say enough amazing things about my event director, Erica Ford, and our venue, The Century. From beginning to end, Erica was absolutely incredible. I didn’t have to lift a finger. She handled every detail with such calm, care, and professionalism. Thanks to her, I was able to be fully present and enjoy my day without any stress.

The Century itself is a stunning venue, elegant, timeless, and full of charm. The space was beautiful, and it created the perfect backdrop for our wedding. Erica and the team brought everything together so seamlessly. It was truly a magical day that I’ll never forget.

If you’re considering The Century for your event, do it and if you get to work with Erica Ford, consider yourself lucky. She’s amazing!

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.

No stress!

I am incredibly grateful to have found Nine3One. When my husband and I began planning our wedding in 2023, we initially set our date for April 2024. We had found a venue we liked and were moving forward with our plans. However, when my mother-in-law's cancer diagnosis turned terminal, our world was upended. Our wedding date became her funeral date, and the idea of celebrating a wedding no longer felt right. We decided to elope, but by May, we reconsidered and opted for a small wedding instead.

That’s when I reached out to Nine3One. Their responsiveness was immediate; we scheduled a tour for the same week, and as soon as we walked in, my husband and I knew we had found the perfect venue. We had our initial meeting with Erin, and then Erica took over to handle the details. Despite our decision to plan the wedding within a two-month window, what should have been stressful turned out to be the easiest process ever!

Erica guided us through every step, from choosing our food and sampling dishes to organizing every detail of the wedding day. I had bought decorations but was unsure how to set them up. Luckily, Erica and her team took care of everything, transforming our venue into a stunning space that received countless compliments.

Every aspect of the process was flawless. Erica and her team were incredibly attentive, always appearing exactly when needed, even without us having to ask. For anyone looking to have a wedding without any stress or pressure, I highly recommend Nine3One. Thank you, Erica, for making our wedding day so wonderful and memorable!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
