The best experience of our lives!

Greg, Edie, Mary and the whole team at Millennium Center truly go above and beyond to make your wedding day the absolute best day of your life. Nothing was too big or small of an ask. The bridal and groom's suite were fully stocked with anything we could want and were amazing spaces to spend time with our bridal party during the day. We had our ceremony in the old federal courthouse upstairs and it was so intimate and dreamy with 200 of our closest friends, then we transitioned downstairs for cocktail hour and our reception. Greg even opened up roof top access for us to take photos during Golden Hour that are truly stunning. And can we talk about the FOOD?! We had so many people come up and say the food we had for our buffet "Was not wedding food" with many calling it "a 5 star meal." We even added a "late night bite" a month out and Greg and his team pulled out the most delicious french fry bar, it was a huge hit. Our band LOVED the full stage and in house tech-team, and we truly had a party from the moment it started until our exit, which over 100 people stayed for because the vibes were immaculate. The pricing was the actual best in the state. Don't want to worry about linen, table and chair rentals and the massive fees that come with them? Don't want to be stuck with in-house planner fees and searching for mid-at-best wedding catering? Struggling to fork over thousands of dollars for florals you will use for six hours? Greg thinks through and offers options for all of this for you, and takes care of labor and services so it is off your plate for the fairest cost that you truly would not believe in comparison to other vendors. Oh, and he pulled all of this together in under 7 months so we could get the discount for an off-season wedding with him and our vendors and not have to sweat on our wedding day! Millennium Center is the venue for you. We are so thankful for all that Greg and his team did and we truly feel like we are apart of the family now!
