I cannot day enough about how awesome Alyson is at the Washington Pavilion! She was so amazing to work with through the whole wedding process. We held our ceremony in the visual arts center and it was stunning. It was such a unique space to get married in and I am so thankful we decided on this location for this special occasion. I would highly recommend everyone to look into this space for smaller weddings!

The Washington Pavilion staff was completely dedicated to providing an easy, highly customize-able, and beautiful experience for my husband and I's reception. The picture I attached doesn't even do the space justice! All of our guests complimented the stage's elegance...and the price is fairly affordable as well. The Washington Pavilion has an in-house caterer (Leonardo's Cafe) - we had the pasta buffet, which was absolutely delicious and received many compliments from our guests. The Pavilion also has large dressing rooms with huge mirrors and vanity lights, which makes for a fun place for the ladies to get ready in the morning. If you're looking for a unique and memorable venue, this place is it! We can't recommend this place enough. (Dustin and Chelsea, married 7/7/18).

Elizabeth made this an awesome experience. She kept me in line and made sure we had every detail accounted for! I would highly recommend this venue, it was absolutely stunning!!

The pavilion was absolutely amazing. We had our cocktail hour in the lobby and our reception on stage. Our guests kept ranting and raving about how beautiful and unique the venue was. The atmosphere was incredible and the food was delicious. We worked with Elizabeth Sterling. She gave us the red carpet treatment and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. If we could have another wedding there we would do it in a heart beat!

When I first started searching for a reception venue the stage immediately caught my eye as the wood floors, high ceiling, and theater provide an amazing space to host a large group of friends and family. We worked with Elizabeth who was very prompt in responding to emails with questions or concerns regarding the venue and even sat down with us to taste various meal options and show us the different spaces to make sure we got exactly what we were looking for. My husband and I were living out of the area at the time we were planning our wedding but Elizabeth relieved a lot of the burden and stress of that by taking care of any issues and being flexible to our schedules when we were in town. She listened to our vision of what we wanted for the reception and made it seem effortless to make it all happen!! Elizabeth and her staff took care of everything from setting up tables, the lighting, food, bar, and even contacted all of our other vendors to make sure she knew the details of the day and everything would run smoothly! She took on the day like it was her own special event and truly made the entire wedding planning experience enjoyable!! The venue speaks for itself and I would highly recommend Elizabeth to any bride looking for someone to listen and collaborate with to make her wedding day everything she's dreamed of!!

I was beyond thrilled with the Washington Pavilion for our wedding reception. Elizabeth was incredible to work with--she answered all of our questions in a friendly and prompt manner during the planning stage and went above and beyond to make sure we were updated throughout the entire process. The food was great, and the Pavilion staff who helped serve our guests were so kind and professional. I would recommend this venue to anyone! Great value in such a special venue in Sioux Falls!

We worked with Elizabeth and she was great! She was flexible with our work hours and literally took care of everything for us so we could enjoy our special day! The venue was gorgeous and food was amazing!

Elizabeth and her staff at the Washington Pavilion were wonderful to work with. Our daughter's wedding reception was perfect and I was able to relax and enjoy the evening. A beautiful venue!!!

After reviewing several reception sites, the Washington Pavilion was truly the most gorgeous and phenomenal venue. The personalized royal blue cyclorama, the pin spot lighting, the delicious food, the grand views from the stage, the crystal chandeliers, the attentive coordinators, and the seemingly minute details, all were attended to and brought together in utter perfection. My husband and I were so incredibly happy with the results – we wouldn’t change a thing about our reception, and it’s largely thanks to the Washington Pavilion and its coordinators. Our guests were raving how beautiful and exceptional the reception and site were.

My first meeting with the personable and accommodating Sarah sold me on the place; when my coordinators changed to Kristin and Allyson, I was astounded at how effective and amazing they also were. Communication was above and beyond – via text, email or call, they were quick to respond to my questions and concerns. Kristin and Allyson also worked directly with my vendors to determine timing, delivery, placement, etc. What a stress reliever for me to not have to be that middle communication?! Kristin told me from the beginning, “I’ll be the first one at your reception and the last one to leave,” and she certainly followed through.

On the day before the wedding we weren’t allowed to be on the stage yet, so Kristin let us into a nearby room to organize the centerpieces. When we didn’t have time to put the decorations on the stage before attending the wedding rehearsal, Kristin and the help volunteered to put up all the decorations on the stage for us according to my “big picture”. She had it looking beautiful and decorated exactly how I imagined it.

If you are having any reserves about the Washington Pavilion or the costs, squash them – it was worth every penny. I obviously highly recommend this venue and its coordinators. My husband and I were so incredibly happy with the Washington Pavilion.

You did a great job in getting this set up the way Jason and Kristina wanted it.
