The absolute best!!!

Our wedding day was literally so perfect and everything we dreamed of!! I wish I could relive it all over again! Dylan (our day of captain) was the best!! He was always there when we needed him and made sure everything ran smoothly!

The planning team was also amazing and makes the process so easy for you! I was rarely stressed during the wedding planning process because they handle almost everything and are the best at communicating if you have any questions!

There is a wide variety of food that was delicious as well and the service was amazing! I would choose hotel Covington and the Madison over and over again!!

Best Night Ever

Planning and day of was amazing! We throughout enjoyed the entire process and the assistance we received along the way, even from out of town. The staff was friendly and observant, the venue was beautiful and everything pieced together perfectly. Vendors are very familiar with the venue which makes that planning seamless. Using Hotel Covington also allowed guests to have simple travel (walking) to their rooms.

Highly recommend The Madison & Hotel Covington!

The Madison Event Center was the perfect venue for our Wedding Day! From start to finish, The Madison team took such great care of all our needs and made us feel so special. The planning process was very easy and stress free because they offer an all-inclusive package and handle everything on site, so we didn’t have to do much. We enjoyed working with the Details Specialist, Riley. She made sure no detail was missed while offering great advice too! It was nice having Hotel Covington next door, we took advantage of the Wedding Room Block offerings, Suites to get ready in on the day of, and we even hosted our Rehearsal Dinner and Welcome Reception at the Hotel! Our family and friends loved the convenience of it all! When it came to the night of our Wedding, everything was truly perfect! The Madison provides a Banquet Captain to take care of everything throughout the night, our Captain went above and beyond our expectations. We have such beautiful memories to carry with us and are beyond thankful for The Madison & Hotel Covington bringing our dream Wedding to life!

I not only work with the Madison Event Center, I have been on the other end and have planned events here as well. The staff is amazingly helpful and they go above and beyond to make every detail of your wedding day PERFECT. Everything from the Chef's to the drinks are top notch. I love working with Madison Brides, they are overall less stressed out due to the coordinators at the Madison that make the hectic wedding process so much easier.
