I cannot say enough wonderful things about this venue or the coordinator Albe. I helped to organize my sister's wedding 06/2018 and once we had the venue, I knew things would work out. Albe is so on top of her game, she is extremely organized and really had the couple's best intentions kept at the forefront of the night. I would highly recommend her and this venue to anyone. The venue is very romantic, there is lighting specific to the event that just adds to this venue's unique offerings. Albe and the uptown team gave my sister everything and more that she wanted in her reception.

After a lot of contemplation and research, we decided on the Uptown Theater for our wedding reception venue. We are so glad we did! Albe was incredible to work with, very thorough, extremely helpful, and reliable. She made the process much less stressful and even gave suggestions to make it even easier for us on our big day. The space itself looked spectacular with the staff to match it. The food was top notch and the bar selection was out of this world. No problems whatsoever. We had such a wonderful reception, and it is truly all thanks to Albe and the folks at the Uptown!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. My wife and got married in the Broadway Room of Uptown Theater this past weekend. The whole process from start to finish was flawless. I have way too much to say for one review so I'll try to shorten it down into a list. Albe was our coordinator with the venue, and she was so helpful and easy to work with. She had answers to every question and made tying the whole thing together so much less stressful than it would have been otherwise. I would 100% use Uptown again based purely off of how easy she made everything. I cannot stress this enough. Since Uptown has a kitchen and a liquor license all of the food and alcohol is condensed into one vendor, and that's all handled behind the scenes. The food and drink was delicious and the bartenders did a phenomenal job. The cook even worked around different dietary restrictions and requests (that I had forgotten to mention until the day of because I'm awful). They just added new LED lights that let you change the color of the room, and it really added something to the event. The pictures are amazing and having the lighting match wedding colors is something I didn't know I would appreciate this much. That plus putting your name up on the marquee out front really make for some great pictures. We had a short notice issue (as in the week of the wedding) with a vendor that was not Uptown's fault, but I received a call from the GM that filled me in on everything I needed to know and how they were going to handle it. It turned what should have been a huge problem into something positive. The new vendor they picked out to replace the old one was fantastic and I didn't have to worry about switching anything over or gathering all new information. All in all the night could not have gone better. I could go on and on about how phenomenal the experience was, and how everyone loved the venue, and how perfect the night was. If you're even THINKING about using Uptown I recommend reaching out to them

This venue is absolutely beautiful and worked very well with our vintage themed wedding (it would fit in with any other theme as well!). Very good lighting, spacious, lots of parking, several things included in the price that really helped out a lot! The staff was very professional and extremely helpful. They understood our vision for our big day and beautifully executed it. They handled our decorations and left us with nothing to worry about other than celebrating our wedding. Very organized staff and Albe was JUST A WONDERFUL GEMSTONE of a person who ensured our entire evening went smoothly. I was a very calm bride because the staff handled everything for me. The food was DELICIOUS and they have affordable alcohol packages as well. The theater is so beautiful and so well maintained that it added to our overall decorations - very vibrant in color. We were very pleased with this venue the very first time we saw it and we knew we made the right choice. Our guests loved the venue and were well taken care of by the organized, courteous and helpful staff. We highly recommend this venue for your occasion and you can trust the staff on delivering a pleasant experience! Thanks again for all your hard work on making our evening so special and memorable and just the way we wanted it!

Alicia and Albe were so great to work with. The whole staff worked hard to make our day so wonderful. They even let us use my parents dog as our ring bearer and that was awesome! Great food and great service!

We had our wedding reception in the Broadway room and this was the least stressful part of our whole day! The Uptown did a great job of keeping the night flowing and our dance floor was full the whole night thanks to their DJ! ! The food was great too, we didn't ask for children food and they brought out chicken fingers and fries with no additional charge. Affordable and professional! We would definitely recommend them

We were very satisfied with the planning and execution of our reception. We received many compliments from our guests regarding the nice event space and the delicious appetizer dinner buffet. Alicia was very professional and guided us through each step in planning our reception. The catering staff and bartender did an exceptional job in seeing that all of our needs were met. The Broadway Room was the perfect space for dining and dancing. We highly recommend the Uptown to anyone planning an event.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
