Maven Hotel Is Exceptional

Our NYE wedding at the Maven was everything I imagined and then some. The hotel staff, starting from the valet to the front desk to our service sales manager was outstanding! Beyond friendly, helpful, and literally excited for US on our big day. Our ceremony took place in "The Alley" and thanks to Mother Nature, the weather could not have been more perfect to match the incredible venue. As the bride, I never once heard a peep from any of our vendors or the hotel on any issues that were encountered, so I assume there weren't any! I went to the hotel a week later and had a wave of emotions flush over me as I walked into the foyer, then I ran into our primary contact Jazzmary and we gave each other the biggest hug - she is now my friend! Not many hotels can offer such a unique landscape, superior service and friends all at once. Highly recommend 10/10 all the stars!

Our Perfect Wedding Weekend!

My husband and I absolutely LOVED our wedding weekend at The Maven! With a majority of our guest list coming from out of town, we wanted to introduce our friends and family to the city we love, and having our home base at The Maven was a HUGE hit. Our guests loved being able to explore the Dairy Block and it ended up being built-in entertainment for the weekend (and everyone loved the rooms - our suite was top notch!!). When it came to our ceremony and reception, The Maven made the whole process seamless and beautiful. The staff was communicative throughout the planning process, and made what could’ve been a stressful experience really fun. Oh, and the food was GREAT! We got so many compliments!! I can’t forget to mention cocktail hour… Having it at Polka Lola was AWESOME and we literally didn’t have to add anything to the space - it’s perfect and fun as-is. Having it right across the hall from our ceremony/reception made it easy for everyone. We thoroughly enjoyed our wedding day and I can’t recommend having your wedding at The Maven/Polka Lola enough!

Wedding Ceremony and Reception

We had our ceremony and reception at The Maven and it was everything we could have hoped for. All of the staff we worked with were attentive and responsive. It felt like they really cared about what we wanted our day to be (which not all venues do!). The food and drinks were delicious and paying for the alley buy out for our ceremony was worth every penny! We were even allowed to go over to their sister hotel The Rally Hotel to do rooftop couples photos. I cannot recommend enough having your event at The Maven

Jaz is professional, knowledgeable and available during the wedding planning process.

Our wedding planning experience continuing to the day of the wedding with Jaz was exactly what we had hoped for. Jaz was professional, knowledgeable and responsive to all our emails and phone calls. Jaz had wonderful suggestions for the lay out of the room as our guest number increased. She put our concerns at ease. The elegance of the reception and the fun at the dance was beyond what our vision was. If the Maven and Dairy Block is the vibe the couple is looking for I highly recommend booking there. Thank you Jaz!

Great Communication and Day-Of Execution

Everyone involved was responsive from start to finish. The day off was run smoothly and we felt like we could let our guard down in term of control. The only thing we’d recommend the day of staff change is the cake and gifts placement. They were placed outside the ballroom and people at the public bar could walk right past them. Other than that we were super happy with how everything was handled.

Fun modern venue

We used this venue for our social distance approved wedding (only 9 of us total) and it was a wonderful venue! You have the option to get married outside with the city feel or in the event room. The staff was very helpful and the service was top tier. The hotel portion is also amazing and perfect for guests to stay after the ceremony. Very hip and modern and nice that it’s right in the city!

Intimate COVID Zoom wedding success!

The Maven Hotel graciously allowed us to use their beautiful venue space and facilities free of charge as part of their #Loveisnotcanceled campaign. Their wedding coordinator, Blair, was incredibly helpful and easy to work with and made sure our ceremony went smoothly and helped us set up the room to our liking. The Maven hotel and the Dairy Block made for an incredible backdrop for our pictures and our stay at The Maven hotel was fun, chic and memorable! We are so incredibly grateful to The Maven hotel and staff and would highly recommend it as a wedding venue during pandemic times or otherwise!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
