Timeless Venue

Exactly the elegance I was hoping for! Amazing venue and wonderfully responsive staff. The venue is like something out of a fairytale and works with so many different types of of decor. I played up the historical aesthetic and even had a jazz saxophone player.

Incredible Venue!!!!!

What an incredible VENUE!!! Sierra was amazing and so was her team. They took care of us. They asked great questions and got details that they needed. The coordinated great with our wedding coordinator, Tanairy. Everything the day of the wedding was done the right way and I wasn’t worried about anything. The Estate on Second is an incredible venue and you don’t have to do much to it to make it look beautiful. The food at the venue was incredible and people couldn’t stop talking about how good it was. The venue is great since the cocktail hour takes place upstairs and then you come downstairs for dinner and the rest of the reception. It breaks up the day nicely. Thank you again to the team and Jay’s Catering!

Perfect Space

My husband and I LOVED our wedding venue. It is classic and timeless, both of which can be seen in our wedding pictures. Everyone we worked with was efficient, yet incredibly kind. Ariel, Sarahrose, and Debbie all worked together nicely to provide us with everything we wanted for our favorite day. It was easy to communicate with them and they listened to create exactly what we dreamed of. We could not be more thankful we chose this space for our best day!
