The incredible team at The Maxwell helped us plan and execute the wedding of our dreams. We had the most amazing experience and their help and knowledge through the planning process was so supportive and made it so much easier. Their incredible abilities to truly help make our special day complete was unforgettable and did not go unnoticed. We couldn't have had the most special day without them and we cannot thank them all enough. We would definitely recommend their services to anyone looking to book them in the future. Thank you to everyone at The Maxwell for creating memorable moments that will last us a lifetime on our wedding day!

The Maxwell is extremely reliable, responsive, and high-quality.

As soon as we visited The Maxwell we knew it was the venue for us - the space is beautiful and having the ceremony + reception all in one place was just what we wanted. The venue staff were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the planning and process and on the day of. All of our friends and family had an amazing staff and (in particular) were huge fans of the bar staff. Would highly recommend.

Our Dream venue!

If you want the wedding of your dreams and the staff to meet those expectations, get married at the Maxwell. The venue is gorgeous and is extremely customizable to fit everyone’s taste. Beyond the venue itself, the staff who work there are the absolute best. We worked very closely with Maddie and she has become our all time favorite. She was extremely responsive, flexible and by the end of the night was more so one of our guests than a staffer. We can’t thank her enough for how much she truly cared about us as clients on our wedding night. You can tell her and her team treat this as more than a job. The Maxwell is clean, efficient and a perfect all-in-one venue. Even our plan C ceremony spot would've been a perfect plan A. And they recently made even more wonderufl upgrades, including adding an indoor couch and seating area and unbrellas on the patio. We can’t recommend the venue and the staff enough, we just wish we could do it all again!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
