Wonderful space with event pros

We held a wedding for 150 (could have been more) and wanted an urban blank canvas for our wedding reception. Michael C. was AMAZING. The years of experience shows in how flawlessly his team can set up the space. His rolodex of vendor is amazing -he has worked with all major vendors and recommended the lighting company - MK Lighting - and had worked with my coordinators (Designed and Detailed) and florist (Juliet Tan) before. His patience and calmness was wonderful and he made sure to have my husband's blue cheese olives for his gin martini on hand at the bar. This is still a hidden gem for wedding - VW does a ton of corporate events but it shouldn't be overlooked for weddings. I will miss the team here that made my wedding day the stuff of dreams.

The Perfect Wedding Venue!

We chose Venue West to host our wedding over Memorial Day Weekend. I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed working with the Venue West team. The space is great because it can be used in many ways to fit your needs and size of your wedding. We had our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all at the Venue for 120 guests and it looked beautiful! The Venue is owned by J&L Catering so everything was so easy! The furniture rentals, food, drinks, staff, lighting, A/V, etc. all came as a part of our package which made planning super easy. Michael Collins was our event coordinator and he is the BEST! We had to postpone our wedding due to COVID so we were working with him for a year and a half trying to bring it all together amidst many COVID-related changes. He is patient, organized, experienced and all around a great partner to plan with through every step. Our guests loved the space, the food, the staff...everything. Highly recommend this Venue.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
