Our perfect venue

We had a great experience working with Donna and everyone at the Mitten building. Planning was a breeze and they helped with all of our questions. The venue is BEAUTIFUL all lit up with wood and bricks. All the guests commented on how delicious the food was as well. There is nothing I would have changed or wished had gone differently.

Truly a one-of-a-kind event venue!

We were beyond satisfied with our experience from planning through our big day. We worked with several people from the Mitten Building and everyone we had contact with was very friendly and provided excellent customer service.

Our wedding reception was originally scheduled for late March 2020. Less than two weeks before our event was to take place, we got the call that it would have to be postponed due to COVID-19. The staff was very apologetic and allowed us to take our time with rescheduling. We even rescheduled twice because of changing mandates/ lockdowns with no hassle or fees. We met again with staff the week before our rescheduled event in May 2021 and we were able to update our guest count and adjust our invoice because unfortunately, it had changed significantly.

The building is so beautiful and perfect for wedding portraits. We booked the Summerbell room and patio for our wedding reception. At our original walk-through meeting we were given a voucher to dine at the Mitten. We enjoyed it so much that we decided to book a tasking. After that tasting, we knew we had to go with the Mitten Building for our catering as well. All of the food was high quality and absolutely delicious!

On the day of our event, we were treated like royalty. Our onsite coordinator from the Mitten Building ensured that everything was exactly as we had planned, ran smoothly, and took great care of us. It was such a lovely day and went by way too fast. I highly recommend the Mitten Building and would absolutely book here again!

Simply Wonderful

Our experience with the staff at the Mitten Building was wonderful. Helpful set up for the reception. We had forgotten batteries for some lights we brought; they provided batteries for us. We wanted a particular entrée but with a different sauce; they accommodated us. We needed to refrigerate the wedding cake, cupcakes, and non-alcoholic drink we brought; they made sure that was done. The Mitten Building is the perfect place for a rustic or vintage-style wedding theme to be carried out. It is reasonably priced for the type of venue and services provided. Be aware that each aspect is separately priced rather than a package deal, but this can provide for more flexibility in planning your budget.

The staff at The Mitten Building were professional and kind. They were great when we went in to select our menu and on the day of our wedding went above their call of duty to help pack the rest of our desserts when we forgot to bring trays and have that ready for our guests! Great vibe and beautiful venue, this is an awesome place to have your wedding be it for 100 guests or 200, they have a room for you!
