I was another vendor at a wedding catered by The Edison. The staff on site was absolutely professional and pleasant and the food was amazing. Nice job, Edison ????

Ashley was amazing and I had zero stress on the day of my wedding because she made sure everything was taken care of. Besides that, The Edison staff in general was amazing and so helpful.

We hade the ceremony and the reception both at the Edison, and they made our entire wedding possible. We had a number of extenuating circumstances the month before our wedding which made it difficult to really concentrate on the wedding and all the details around it. We trusted Mike and Ashley and they literally put it all together; we just had to show up. The venue is so beautiful that we really didn't have to worry much about decorations. The team was so helpful they might as well have been our wedding planners. The food was delicious and the drinks never ended. The band set up was epic, and everyone enjoyed dancing outside. To say we got every pennies worth out of this venue would be an understatement. I cannot recommend this venue, team, location, etc., enough. They made this big day possible.

We had our ceremony and reception at The Edison in December. Keely Finnegan was attentive, responsive, and willing to assist in every way. The waitstaff and bartenders were professional and friendly and the food was delicious. Every person told us how impressed they were with the venue, service, and quality of the food. The guests had a blast, which was due in part to Keely's hardwork. She even met my request of providing a hot chocolate bar, which seemed to be the biggest hit for all of the guests. We still talk about how lucky we were to find the perfect venue.

We had a fantastic experience with the Edison. We used the Innovation Room for the ceremony and it was absolutely stunning and the outdoor deck for a seated dinner and the patio below for our DJ and dance floor. They were so patient with our many questions and so willing to help. I even offhandedly mentioned that I needed to track down a large number of corks for decor and one of their staff members offered me a ton of them from her personal stash. The venue is absolutely gorgeous all around, they had ample staff on hand for our group (both wait staff and event staff), the food was delicious and the bartenders were fabulous.

The Edison was such a perfect venue, it was worth every penny. Keely Finnegan, the event coordinator, was such a life-saver, she was the most integral part of our wedding. They are professional, understanding and experienced. I recommend The Edison to anyone and everyone, it is a beautiful venue with an excellent staff who will take care of everything to make your day truly special.

Keely Finnegan (certified wedding planner), Chef John Minas and ALL the Edison staff were amazing in pulling off a spectacular rehearsal dinner for 75 people, despite a long power outage downtown! They remained calm, flexible and eager to please as we brainstormed solutions. Despite multiple hours that afternoon without power at The Edison (due to July storms), everything was perfect and happened as planned. They handled all the stress, and I enjoyed the night. Truly, I'm not sure how it all worked out -- except for the power of prayer and the amazing people at The Edison! If you've heard negative stories around event planning at the Edison -- those days are over! Keely is professional, competent and very pleasant to work with. She made sure we had what we wanted as well as what we NEEDED (that I may not have known). And of course, Chef John's creations are delectable!! He was flexible and eager to please. Five stars and many THANKS!

It was a dream come true!

Our wedding was a dream come true. I had been working with Kate for a few days short of a year. Throughout the process, it was challenging due to the many little details that I thought needed to be kinked out. But at the end of the day, trust their system. They pulled through in all the best ways. All the servers were attentive to our guests. They made sure that my husband and I were taken care of, every step of the way. And they made everything perfect. I cannot recommend them enough. We had both our ceremony and reception in the Innovation lounge and our guests had a great time.
I would recommend any one to get married here!

Ashley was wonderful to work with at first. She was very responsive and informative before, during, and after the booking process. Around November 2017, though, she became much less responsive (my guess is she was looking for a new job, and her clients became less of a priority).
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
