    Good value, easy to work with

    We had our wedding reception at Venue 132. Michelle was fantastic to work with and very accommodating. The space is beautiful and she did an amazing job setting it up as we requested. There are many amenities included and everything went smoothly. We would happily use this venue again for future events and would recommend this to anyone for weddings and events.

    A beautiful bang for your buck venue

    I could not speak highly enough Venue 132 and the owner, Michelle. From start to finish Michelle made sure to accommodate us and make planning our event as simple as possible. The venue has so much character and we got so many compliments on how beautiful the event space during our wedding reception open house that we hosted there. Michelle is so flexible and will do everything in her power to help your vision come to life. Throughout the wedding planning process, this was the easiest vendor to work with and we would recommend this venue to anyone!
