We worked with Allison Frieda and her staff at the Exchange for nearly a year from the day we met her and decided to select the Exchange as the venue to host our daughter's wedding through the wedding ceremony and reception. Allison was a pleaure to deal with, responded to all of our questions, and made useful suggestions to our daughter and our new son-in law that only an experiennced wedding planner would know.
Most importantly, her planning resulted in a wedding that came off without a hitch. She took care of all of the details and kept all of her promises so that the bride and groom and their parents were rewarded with the dream wedding that we had hoped for. She worked seamlessly with the other vendors, including the band, the food preparers, bartenders, the wait staff, florist, and the photographer.

She is thoroughly professional, was calm in the face of our occasional jitters, and epitomized terrific service, for which we will be forever grateful

We had the most amazing experience with Alyson Frieda and the entire EMW team at the ECC. Alyson was so kind, fun, creative, patient, responsive, and all the things you would want in a wedding planner. She was with us every step of the way from start to finish. We had the most perfect day thanks to her and her amazing team. The venue itself was beautiful inside and out. The food was incredible. All of our guests felt so comfortable and were treated so well. We had the best experience. Thank you, EMW!

We loved that the building has historical significance, panoramic views of the water from the main space, and gave us indoor and outdoor options. We worked with Alanna, who couldn’t have been more helpful and communicative over the course of planning our wedding.

I want to note that the Exchange was FANTASTIC at dealing with food allergies and sensitivities. They provided special services to multiple bridal party members with severe sensitivities and made us feel at ease that the day would go off without a hitch!
