Reviews of The Standard
Sarah Baier and Adam Werntz Wedding Review
The venue itself is absolutely stunning. Every room perfectly accommodates the needs of a wedding, provides comfort, and is extremely aesthetic. With Parella Beauty attached to the building, and with multiple desired photo locations within walking distance, our day was made calm and easy because of this venue.
Sara Moore, our wedding planner, helped us with every step throughout our engagement. She spent 2 years planning alongside us, and her efforts and expertise were imperative in helping us realize our vision. We could always rely on her because of her proactiveness and ability to balance multiple tasks at once, while her caring and patient disposition made interactions with her enjoyable and natural.
We have received no complaints or negative feedback from our wedding party, guests, or vendors. Rather have received glowing reviews about the venue, many of which site the beauty and convenience.
If you are searching for a venue for your wedding or event, we confidently recommend The Standard thanks to its efficient layout and its extremely thoughtful and hard-working staff.
