The best day ever!

My husband, Kain, and I got married just a few weekends ago, on March 14, 2026. Our experience at Tresca on 8th was nothing short of phenomenal. From the very beginning of the planning process through the wedding day itself, everything was handled with such professionalism, care, and attention to detail.

The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and created the perfect setting for our day. Our guests are still talking about how stunning everything was and how smoothly the entire day flowed. It truly made our wedding feel so special.

What stood out most to us was how supportive and organized Robin and her team were throughout the process. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but they made everything feel manageable and were always willing to answer questions and help however they could. On the wedding day, everything was set up exactly as we had envisioned, which allowed us to relax and really enjoy the moment with our family and friends.

We are so grateful to have celebrated such an important day here and would absolutely recommend this venue to any couple looking for a beautiful space and a team that genuinely cares about making your day memorable. Thank you for helping make our wedding day so perfect!

If you are also looking for vendors, we highly recommend these individuals!

Highly Recommend Tresca on 8th!!!

From start to finish, our experience at Tresca on 8th was absolutely amazing. The team—Bethany, Robin, and Roxie—truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day stress-free and unforgettable. They took care of everything, from the smallest details to the bigger picture, so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Their professionalism and attention to detail were unmatched.

Throughout the entire process, Bethany, Robin, and Roxie were not only supportive but also genuinely kind and calming, making me feel completely at ease. They helped bring our vision to life in ways we hadn’t even imagined—everything looked even more beautiful than we dreamed.

I couldn’t have asked for better people to be by our side on such an important day. They were a huge part of what made our wedding so special, and I will always be grateful for their hard work, dedication, and warmth. If you’re looking for a venue that offers exceptional service, kindness, and an stress-free experience, look no further. This place and their staff is nothing short of perfect!

Incredible Wedding Venue!!!

I booked Tresca for my wedding in Oct 2021 and it was PERFECT!! The space is gorgeous and Robin (the director) is wonderful to work with. She and her staff ensured my big day was flawless – they have everything you need to create a beautiful, meaningful event! My guests had a wonderful time, and because Robin and her team are so on top of everything, I was able to relax and have the best day of my life. Tresca is an exceptional event space!! You won’t regret booking it!

They made our day absolutely perfect

When I decided on a winter wedding many venues turned me away because they just weren't able to accommodate both an indoor ceremony and reception. Living in the area I had heard of Tresca before but had never been to an event there. In a search for venues, their name popped up. Robin responded to my request almost immediately, we setup a time to tour, we walked in and knew right away we wanted to get married there. We signed a contact that night and I canceled all my future appointments to look at venues. Robin is detailed, concise, an amazing communicator and organized to a T. Our day was seamless, flawless and absolutely beautiful. The venue is amazing without any decorations, and makes the most amazing backdrop for pictures! Everything I had ever dreamed of in my wedding came true that day in February.

Best Experience at Tresca!

My husband and I had the absolute best experience at Tresca. The venue is beautiful and you can make it what you want and add your own personal touch on the decor, which is fun. One of the big reasons we had such a great experience at Tresca, though, was because of the staff and service. Robin helped us with our planning and was super helpful throughout the whole process, providing invaluable tips and advice for everything including all the little details, and she and her staff were especially helpful the day of the wedding keeping everything running smoothly and according to schedule. We could not have done it without them and are so thankful for their help through the whole process! We have the best memories of our wedding day and we know a lot of that is due to all the behind the scenes work from all the Tresca ladies!

We cannot say enough great things about Tara and her staff. Not only are they an event venue, but they are emotional therapists! Tara talked me down from panic and reassured my planning efforts when I needed it most. She was amazing. She made sure that our day was exactly as we imagined it would be and more. My guests were absolutely wowed by the beautiful venue and the seamless way everything flowed.

If you're looking for the perfect place for your wedding day, a place that's beautiful and a staff that lives to make sure your day is magical... Choose Tresca on 8th. It's worth every penny. Thank you, Tara!

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to make my event run smoothly. We had a popcorn machine to serve popcorn at our event, but I forgot to bring the salt. The staff went out and brought us some salt! The clean up was simple and easy. I appreciated having the staff on-call at the site throughout the entire event.

You will not find a better event coordinator than Tara. She is incredibly professional, sweet, quick to respond, and genuinely cares about you as a person. You are not just a "customer" to Tara and her team. They handle every detail with authentic concern, and bend over backwards to make your day as special as possible. Beyond that, the venue is both breath-takingly beautiful and convenient. There was plenty of room for all of my bridesmaids and all of my husband's groomsmen to get ready upstairs (we both had 10 attendants a piece, and didn't feel cramped at all), and downstairs seated all 240 of our guests comfortably, with space for a dance floor that accommodated everyone.

I can't speak more highly of the Tresca team. In spite of a rainy day that changed our original outdoor ceremony plans, our Plan B to have the entire day (both ceremony and reception) at Tresca could not have turned out more perfectly. My husband and I are so happy to have had our wedding at such a special place, and we would recommend it to anyone.

The Tresca on 8th provided exceptional quality service for our wedding reception. They were attentive to all of our needs and wants. I could have not imagined our day without Tara and Robin; because of them our tentative timeline went as planned and very smoothly. The venue is beautiful, clean and the architecture is breathtaking. Oh and did I mention the view on the second floor of the river! I highly recommend their venue and services!! My husband and I both will forever be grateful!!
