Wonderful Venue with Amazing Staff!

Our wedding planning company, Wren & Chick Events, helped plan a wedding at The Crossing in December 2018. We worked with Tabitha throughout the process after having a last minute change of staff and she was absolutely wonderful! She was organized, responsive, and always on top of any little issues that arose throughout the night.

Our bride and groom were so happy with their big day at The Crossing. The setup process, catering, bar service, and cleanup were all wonderful and the staff were all super friendly. We will be recommending this venue (and Tabitha) to all of our couples! Can't wait to work together again!

Wedding dreams came true!

We recently had our wedding in August and it was literally the most perfect day ever. The venue itself was absolutely stunning and everyone was impressed. We already knew we loved the venue as that's why picked it but, we didn't know just how amazing the staff was going to be. We did a Happy Hour the night before our wedding and had some of the staff during that and knew we were in good hands at that moment. At one point during our reception the staff was out on the dance floor enjoying the evening with us and it was SO SO SO MUCH FUN. Everyone raved about the venue and the staff members as everything went seamlessly. If I could relive our wedding day over and over again I would DEFINITELY chose this venue every time. Wishing we could go back to that day!

Wedding Reception

Wow! The Crossing was fabulous!!! They did everything to help make our night fabulous and our reception was an absolute blast.
The food was great, venue looked beautiful, food/drink service was quick and efficient with Butler passing and bar, and the entire staff was so friendly and assisted in whatever way possible. They worked wonderfully and professionally with our wedding planner to make our night perfect and make it all about us. Would HIGHLY recommend this venue to anyone getting married. 😍😍

Perfect wedding venue, everything they said it would be....super accommodating...and plenty of room for lots of guests. Everyone loved it. Lots of choices, and very reasonable for such a chic place. Great location too. Very easy for the out of town guests to find, and close to the church.

Great venue! Great food! Great employees!

Great food! Servers were pleasant, helpful, and fun. Tabitha was the coordinator at the venue and was a pleasure to work with - very helpful and professional. Cost was reasonable, and everything met or exceeded expectations.

I couldn't imagine having my wedding reception anywhere but The Crossing! From the looks of the venue to the food, every little thing was perfect. Mariah is so helpful and really made sure to help us through both our rehearsal dinner and reception!

My husband and I stopped here while looking for a LGBT friendly place to have our wedding, the moment we walked in and saw all the natural lighting we fell in love and we knew this was the place for us. Mariah was the friendliest and most cheerful person to work with throughout the entire planning process. I know I had to have sent her over 100 emails and she never missed a beat with replying to me. I don't think the experience would've been as great as it was without Mariah and the amazing staff that The Crossing employs. I would definitely renew my vows here and have any other kind of party here. We had our wedding on a Friday and the amount of money we saved was great. I love this place and it will always hold a special place in my heart.

I can't suggest this venue enough. We had no ties to Hickory, but when we saw this venue, we knew we would be getting married here. My husband and I live in Charlotte, but we couldn't find an industrial-style venue that was less than $5000 for a weeknight. This venue was everything we could have dreamed of, and the staff were incredibly accommodating. Mariah helped us all the way through, from us booking a year in advance, to helping us find the right beer options from the brewery downstairs. I had a large number of hanging decorations, and they let us set up a lot of our wedding during our rehearsal (since there weren't any events in the space that evening). We had our cocktail hour outside on the patio, and they helped us set up a hot cider and cocoa bar for that time. I am so happy that we chose this venue. Honestly, the price/value alone would be enough to justify booking this space; staying under budget was the icing on our wedding cake! Book them! Do it!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
