The perfect venue for an elegant and romantic wedding

We worked with Mickey who was great about answering all of our questions - even the ones we thought were silly. He never made us feel bad for any of our questions and even provided help and suggestions based on previous weddings he's seen / done when we were at a crossroads with an idea / planning step.

LOVED this venue!

Had my wedding here in August 2023. Pfister event manager, Emily, helped me every step of the way! The staff went above and beyond and made us feel like family. Not only did our big day feel like a fairytale..it looked like one too. The atmosphere of the Pfister is absolutely gorgeous!! Food was delicious, service was great, & the rooms were perfect. 100% reccomend this venue!

The Perfect Timeless Venue

A phenomenal venue for a wedding!! We truly could not have asked for a more perfect wedding at The Pfister. We rented the Imperial Ballroom for a 140-person wedding and held both the ceremony and cocktail/dinner reception there. The ballroom is absolutely stunning and perfect for a timeless, elegant event. The Pfister has everything you need to make your day perfect, and if they don’t have it, they will make sure to get it for you. The team at The Pfister handled everything from set-up to room flip to take-down. The staff were so great and made sure our guests were taken care of. We worked with Mickey throughout the planning process and he answered all of our questions, which there were many. Mickey was also present day-of to make sure things went according to schedule, including coordination of the ceremony, cocktail hour, and a multi-course meal. The food was extremely important to us and is unlike any other “wedding food” - it is elevated and there are so many options to choose from, along with a beautifully put together wedding tasting to help you choose. Many guests told us it was the best food they’d ever had at a wedding! The amenities at The Pfister are also amazing! All our guests were able to book rooms in our reserved block and enjoy everything The Pfister has to offer, including the top-floor martini bar, lobby bar, restaurant, etc. Best decision we ever made having our wedding at The Pfister!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
