#WallsIsLife Wedding Experience - 5.23.21

Chelsea and Victoria are amazing! They were very responsive to any questions we’ve had and kept us up to date with any wedding updates, especially during this pandemic. When I first visited the venue, it was still under construction but I knew it would be the perfect venue for us and Chelsea did well with creating the vision. I loved the outdoor and indoor space as it was the perfect layout for pictures, guest to mingle, and space for guests to be distanced when needed. The outside landscaping is so beautiful that I did not need much decor and loved how elegant the inside is.

The day of my wedding went so smoothly! I truly enjoyed The Maxwell help & hard work to make it such a beautiful day for us! I cannot forget about how beautiful the bridal suite is- it is dream! It’s decorated so nicely and has great space to utilize for pictures and getting ready!

The Maxwell gave me a wedding experience I would never forget and I would recommend this venue to anyone! You will not be disappointed!

Perfect Wedding Venue!

This venue is the perfect wedding venue for my fiance and I, we absolutely fell in love with it from the second we saw it! The light color pallet mixed with a southern but modern vibe was so unlike any other venue we have looked at in the area. We booked it immediately!

The indoor/outdoor floor plan is the exact flow we imagine for our guests with ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all in different locations creating the perfect night and experience.

We're so excited for the day this beautiful space is complete as we know it will surpass our expectations for our dream wedding!

Seamless and wonderful

We came across The Maxwell as it was being built. We were nervous at first but after hearing from other vendors how wonderful Chelsea was, we decided to take a tour. After meeting with Chelsea and hearing her vision, we booked within 10 minutes of leaving. From the initial meeting through our wedding day, Chelsea and her team were wonderful. We were having our ceremony elsewhere and were utilizing The Maxwell for our reception. They were in contact with us and helped us every step of the way through planning - from recommending vendors to accommodating a VIP drink list for our parents. The venue itself is everything we could have imagined and more - a timeless elegance. The outdoor area is private and gorgeous - perfect for an indoor/outdoor feel!
We wish we could have all of our events at The Maxwell!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
