Amazing Venue!

Whitaker and Atlantic was the perfect venue for our wedding! We were looking for something modern and industrial and they delivered. Everything was spectacular - the concrete floors, the mid century lighting fixtures, the gorgeous ambrosia maple bar and staircase, and the eclectic upstairs suite. In addition to the space itself, the staff was flexible, responsive, and friendly! I can't recommend this venue enough!

Gorgeous, modern wedding venue!!

From the spacious and modern main room to the HUGE patio (perfect for furniture, tables, candles, games, drapery, you name it!), the gorgeous bar and Hummingbird accent wall and the to-die-for bridal suite with the most amazing natural light (your photographer will thank you)... trust me when I say that you will fall in love with this new wedding venue/event space! My husband and I were married at Whitaker & Atlantic in June and we love everything about this space. Perfect for couples who want to do both ceremony/reception in the same place like we did (and for those who only want to use it for the reception). Large black floor-to-ceiling curtains partition the space for the flip. Plenty of indoor and outdoor space for your guests, dance floor, DJ/band, seating etc. Did I mention the delicious in-house catering available via Posh Nosh?! The vendor team was awesome and easy to work with. I hope you love this venue as much as we do!

Whitaker & Atlantic was exactly what we were looking for. The space is comfortable and open, elegant but not stuffy. Plenty of space for gathering indoors and out. They've thought of everything... beautiful bar, wonderful staff, kitchen onsite. The menu they developed with us worked perfectly for our party -- everything was beyond delicious. Integrated sound and projector were a nice bonus. The location is great, too. Whitaker & Atlantic has an easy to work with, accommodating staff who went out of their way to make us (and our guests) at home and to make our event a memorable one. Definitely recommend!

Whitaker & Atlantic

We had our daughter's wedding and reception at Whitaker & Atlantic and it was wonderful. The transition from wedding ceremony to reception was smooth and without issues. Pre-event planning and day-of coordination with Coleen and Robyn were excellent. Food , wine, and service were outstanding and smiles plentiful. Highly recommend W&A!

Exactly what we were looking for

My fiancé and I found Whitaker & Atlantic after looking at a couple of venues; immediately we got a good vibe from the place. Kathleen was absolutely wonderful and fantastic at communication throughout the whole planning process. The only time we had a bit of an issue was when we were specifically dealing with the bar. It took some time to get answers on bar specifics and compared to many other venues, the bar was quite expensive (especially given that we had to use the venue for the bar service). Other than that, everything was incredible and all of our guests were in love with the space. The flexibility they allowed us to have with visiting the venue multiple times (especially during COVID) and letting us drop things off early was a lifesaver. I couldn’t have imagined our wedding anywhere else.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
