Beautiful, elegant, seamless, easy wedding

Book your wedding at the Statler!! We hosted our reception at the Statler in September 2024 and had a fantastic experience. Melissa and her team make the planning process so easy - they think of everything so you don't have to and make you feel like your wedding is the most important one they've ever planned. When we had questions or special requests the answer was always yes and then they delivered on the day of. We genuinely cannot think of a single thing that went wrong or we would have changed. Our food tasting before the wedding was a specialized, personal experience and the quality of the food remained the same the day of the wedding (we also did our cake through the Statler and it was so so so good, we loved it). The suite at the Statler was lovely, perfect for the bridesmaids to get ready and a very valuable part of the wedding package. Melissa recommended DJ and photography vendors for us to work with who delivered an excellent experience as well. We were so happy with our experience, but our parents were thrilled as well (important too!!). The ballroom is a beautiful, elegant venue and the team at the Statler brought our vision to life. Big thank you to Melissa and her team.

Grateful for our stay.

Our family worked with Melissa and Crew the whole time. To be honest, we didn't fully appreciate what they had done for us until the doors to the ballroom opened for the reception. It was jaw dropping to say the least. Our friends and family booked about 35 rooms and they all spent 2-3 days there. Everything from hanging out in the pub, to taking walks through the campus, to the reception food was incredible. My daughter and her husband were happy the whole time and we are grateful for everyone at The Statler who helped.
