Truly wonderful experience!
Five Stars all the way!
We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect wedding venue than Traine. From the charming, historic atmosphere to the beautifully designed open space, every inch of the venue felt like it was created with love and attention to detail. It's a perfect location and has everything you need and then some.
Richelle, the owner, went above and beyond to make our day extraordinary. Her kindness, attention to detail, and genuine care for our wedding made us feel supported every step of the way. She answered our questions thoughtfully, provided excellent vendor recommendations, and handled every small detail so we could focus on enjoying our day.
We also had the pleasure of working with Sonny, a member of Richelle’s team, who was equally incredible. Sonny was organized, attentive, and always ready to lend a hand with a smile. His commitment to making everything run smoothly allowed us to relax and enjoy each moment with our friends and family.
Thank you guys SO SO much - can't recommend enough!

Traine -> The Dock
Our experience working with Nicole was short, but wonderful. She took over ownership of the venue in the few weeks before our wedding day, but she quickly jumped right in to answer our many questions and handle all last minute logistics with our day fast approaching. We truly appreciated her honesty and willingness to help us stick to the details of our original contract despite changes inevitable with an ownership transition. In just the few weeks we worked with her, she made some wonderful updates to the venue we were so thankful we could experience and we quickly knew we were in great hands. Nicole’s belief in the potential and future growth of the venue is evident and I’m so excited for her future brides!

Traine & richelle rock!
I was blown away at how gorgeous my venue looked on the day of my wedding! Traine is such a gorgeous place as it is but Richelle made sure everyone involved did exactly as I wanted it and it was perfect. She is so wonderful to work with! She's great at her job and is also such a sweet person. The new bridal suite is amazing as well! I was so happy we were able to utilize it! All of my guests kept commenting about how beautiful the venue was. It's also in such a great location to so many hotels downtown! I'm SO happy we went with Traine for our big day!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
