Truly the best Venue!

We can’t speak highly enough, about The Powerhouse and its staff, especially Steve, Erin & Terese. From the beginning, communication with the team was easy, and responsive. Leading up to the day of, Erin & Steve accommodated all of my requests and changes to my vision, without batting an eye and were able to make suggestions to help me decide on what was needed, and what I could do without. As someone who can be very indecisive, this was such a huge help. The Powerhouse as a venue is stunning, spacious, and overall, had everything we were looking for. Our guests loved the outdoor patio, our wedding party loved the suite upstairs, and everyone raved about their experience. The staff was incredibly attentive, kind and always there when anything was needed and they were more than happy to accommodate pretty much anything that was asked for. As far as the food - it was amazing! All of our guests had nothing but amazing things to say about their entrees, including how smooth dinner service was. As far as Steve and Terese, I honestly have no words that can describe how happy we are that they were there for our day. Steve was amazing, from hand cleaning my dress, to hand sewing the buttons that fell off one of my girls dresses - he literally was ready for anything to go wrong and handled it quickly and professionally. I can confidently say if it weren’t for them our day would have never been as special as it was. They are true professionals and they take pride in what they do so that you can sit back and enjoy every single moment of your day. We truly are forever grateful to the team at the Powerhouse, they made our dream wedding a reality and we are beyond thankful!

Incredible, Responsive, Stress-Free

We got married at the Powerhouse on August 24, 2024 and our day was absolutely perfect, all thanks to Steve, Erin and Terese! From the initial venue tour to our planning meeting and wedding day, they were amazing to work with and responsive to all of our questions. They were so attentive to detail and brought our vision to life, making the day stress-free. All of our guests raved about the food, the natural light and how smoothly the day went. The Powerhouse exceeded our expectations and was a dream wedding venue for us. Highly recommend!!

A great venue and a great team

Steve, Erin, and the rest of the team at The Powerhouse were phenomenal. Steve took time to really understand our vision and sourced décor and furniture that matched it perfectly. He was super receptive to our ideas and all of the edits/changes we made along the way to make sure it was the wedding of our dreams. The day of the event, Steve and The Powerhouse team could not have been any better. Everything was taken care of, including us. Whenever we needed something, we were given it. I mentioned I didn’t get an appetizer, and there was then a plate of them at my seat when I finally sat down. Their attention to detail and ensuring that the bride and groom can enjoy the day are unmatched. The food was second to none, with several guests telling us it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. With that, they were also great about allergies. I can’t have gluten, dairy, soy, or garlic and the kitchen made me food from our menu but tailored to my needs. Other guests with allergies were well taken care of - it’s maybe the most comfortable I’ve felt eating outside of my own home. The team there provides incredible service and the space itself is absolutely stunning. Steve’s team is efficient and effective, and the space reflects the high quality of the service. We could not recommend The Powerhouse enough.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
