Amazing Wedding & Reception at the Powerhouse!

We were able to host our wedding & reception at Powerhouse for 290 guests in April 2024 and it was absolutely incredible and more than we could have ever imagined! The Powerhouse team, led by Steven & Erin for planning & Steven and Kate on the day of, were amazing to work with. They were super communicative, answered our questions quickly, and were open to our ideas in terms of layout and set up, as well as adjusting to last minute changes. The venue itself is beautiful and really worked well for our big guest size! Our guests had an incredible time - the bartenders worked quickly, the dance floor was big enough for our big dancing crowd, and the entire night went super smoothly thanks to the awesome team that the Powerhouse has. We were so happy to host our wedding at Powerhouse would highly recommend Powerhouse if you are looking to host an event!

Cannot say enough positive things!

My wife and I (as well as our guests) have ranted and raved about this venue since our wedding day on 11/10/23. We booked them a year before our special day, and from our very first conversation with Steven through the actual day was nothing short of amazing. Steven has become one of our favorite people by far, and we were lucky enough to meet and work with Therese the night of. My wife wore a suit on our day and had a few malfunctions - Steven so kindly and gently offered to step in and assist and did a wonderful job. Staff were always prepared with whatever we needed and will help you plan every last detail you could ever imagine. We always had a drink in our hand (thank you, Therese!) and some of our guests said that their meal was the best steak they've had in a very long time. Staff were always checking on us throughout the night and did everything they could to take the stress off of us. Thank you so much for such a fantastic experience - We will always highly recommend the Powerhouse and their staff.
