    Our Amazing Wedding Reception

    We were married 9-29-18 and I could kick myself for not posting this sooner but life happens!! 425 made our event absolutely perfect!! They took my vision and brought it to life. The food was fantastic as was the bar & dinner service. We did a buffet style dinner but we were given 5 STAR treatment through the entire event. As the guests of honer your taken in 10 directions at once and these folks took care of every person at every table and we lacked nothing. They made our day perfect and we were told by several guests the only bad thing was that the evening had to come to an end. Wonderful memories that will last a lifetime!! Don't go anywhere else. This is the best spot in the 417 for any event!!

    Beautiful venue

    It’s a lovely venue with a nice all-inclusive package. You pick your menu and don’t have to worry about a thing. Beautiful linens, bar service, cake cutting, champagne uncorking, wait staff, china, chargers, table set up & year down...all including at a reasonable price point. All in a street level, easily accessible, downtown venue. Perfect!

    Best bang for your buck

    I can't race enough about my experience with 425. Everyone loved our venue, it fit our personalities, it was put together beautifully, and the staff from Manager to hourly associates was considerate and helpful.

    when i first started planning my wedding, 425 Downtown was a little difficult to deal with. Their coordinator kept changing, and while i would be talking with one person one day about prices and packages, the next day that person would no longer be employed with the company. Finally, Rebekah Shockey took over the details, and i was getting answers, and responses, and everything started running smoothly. One less stress for a DIY bride to deal with! the icing on the cake though, was Julie. Julie was the coordinator on site the day of the wedding. SHE WAS AMAZING! we had an issue with the flowers, and she fixed it. we had a forgotten bouguet and she whipped one up in no time, and was just finishing the ribbon on it as i was getting ready to walk down the aisle. she made sure everything looked perfect, and ran smoothly, and even made sure my train looked perfect when i walked. amazing is the only word that describes her, and she is the main reason that i gave the venue so many stars.

    This venue is absolutely gorgeous with a true downtown feel. It has its own parking lot so my guests didn't have to worry about finding parking downtown. The food was amazing and my guests raved about it!! The staff was fantastic from playing our slideshow for us, working with our other vendors, and even making sure my guests were catered to! I couldn't imagine working with anyone else. A fabulous group of people who are committed to making your wedding outstanding and easy!

    I was so impressed with everything 425 Downtown did for our wedding day. The food far exceeded our expectations. Our guests would not stop raving about how tender the cabernet marinated beef tips were. We also did a garlic Alfredo that was delicious too! The staff went above and beyond. We found out last minute that a guest was allergic to garlic and Tori sent a staff member to personally pick up a special order for our guest so that she could eat. Aside from the catering and the phenomenal staff, the venue is absolutely breathtaking. I am so happy that I chose this venue. I highly, highly recommend it to everyone!!!

    425 Downtown was the perfect wedding venue. The room itself is beautiful enough to not need a lot of decorations. However, once we added our own touches, it was even more gorgeous. Tori was fantastic since the moment I booked this venue. She was very flexible and willing to answer all of my questions. My many, many questions.
    My husband was unsure at first but we finally decided to go with the all-inclusive package that 425 offers. I am so happy that we did! I had absolutely no worries about catering! The food was amazing and our guests were very pleased. The entire 425 staff made sure that our big day went as smoothly as possible. Before I walked down the aisle, one of the bartenders even fixed my train. My husband didn't want to see me before the wedding and they helped me sneak around without seeing him! The staff made sure that my husband and I did not go thirsty throughout the night. They really went above and beyond.
    If you want a venue that provides a downtown, industrial, and romantic look, 425 is for you. I think it would be extremely difficult to find a better venue that provides delicious food and tremendous service at such an affordable price.

    425 was a pleasure to work with! I was a little nervous about things coming together for the reception but Tori was very reassuring and made sure that everything worked-out perfectly! Plus it's a beautiful venue!

    My husband and I could not have been happier with the service provided by 425. The food was outstanding and the staff was exceptional. When we were in the planning process 425 was so flexible and easy to work with. We would highly recommend 425 for any event.

    425 was an awesome place to have our wedding reception! All of our guests had a great time and we got tons of compliments. We frequently heard from our guests that it was some of the best food they have ever had at a wedding reception.

    We had such a wonderful experience having our wedding at 425 Downtown. Tori and her team were attentive to our needs and made sure everything happened just the way we wanted.

    On the actual wedding day, Tori was always around and making sure everything was going as planned -- from the early afternoon, when we started setting things up, to the evening while the event was taking place. She even made a point of making sure my bride and I had food and drinks throughout the night, and she came to the rescue when my bride encountered an unexpected issue with her wedding dress between the ceremony and reception. Having her and her staff there took all of the stress out of the experience and allowed us to enjoy the day without worrying about the little things.

    The venue itself is gorgeous and full of character -- far more memorable than the generic ballroom atmospheres you find in most places. 425 took care of all of the setup for us, both for the ceremony and for the reception.

    The only downside we found with the venue was the preparation area for the bridal party, which is located in a basement behind the building. It's a bit sparse and unfinished, which really isn't that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things but is worth noting.

    We used 425 for catering, too, and the food was fantastic. The chef couldn't have been more accommodating of our requests -- everything from separating out ingredients of a salad so guests could choose what they liked to providing options for guests with specific dietary needs. Everything was absolutely delicious, and the process of creating the menu was fun and stress-free.

    All in all, we couldn't have had a better experience and are so grateful we found 425 Downtown. It was a perfect fit for us and made for a wonderful day that we and our friends and family will never forget.

    I got married in March of 2013 and this was the best venue in Springfield MO! We had such a smooth planning and even enjoyed going to all the Soiree's to try our cakes, and see other vendors. The wedding coordinator felt like my maid of honor helping me plan my wedding. Brides- This place is phenomenal! 10/10

    425 Downtown was a wonderful facility for a wedding reception. Certain tasks were made easy to take pressure off of my family, for example, the seating and table set up. I cannot provide feedback on the catering as we used an outside source. Utilizing the bar-tending staff was also a good choice. I loved the facility because of its overall 'warm' feeling and downtown location, which made for a great time!

    We had an amazing experience at 425 Downtown. It was the perfect setting for our reception. They are very flexible and great to work with for any event. Tori met with me a few times before the wedding to make sure they knew all the details to help our event run smoothly. They were very organized and offered us many great tips for our ceremony. It was reasonably priced and well worth our money. Our guests had a great time. The food (Pasta Express) was absolutely incredible. Guests commented that it was some of the best food they had ever eaten. They asked about our tastes and made a custom menu for us. They even helped us to find a queso cheese fountain, which was not easy to do!

    425 Downtown provided the venue for my husband's 60th birthday party on January 25, 2014. It was amazing. Tori Santos, the Operations Manager did a fabulous job of decorating and went above and beyond to make this event very special for us. Her creativity in keeping the theme of the party even in the centerpieces was outstanding. We received many comments about the food and the venue from those attending.

    425 is a great venue with very friendly staff. The only area of improvement that I noticed is that when I wanted tables moved to make the dance floor larger they said they would do it as the night went on. The front tables were already empty because those people were on the dance floor so I just moved them myself.

    My husband and I used 425 Downtown for our daughter's wedding reception for 120 people, engaging them for the all-inclusive package. The venue is great without any decorations at all, but we paid to have the staff add our own personal touches and they did a nice job. The food was good but not exceptional. If dinner is a big part of your dream event, I'd suggest getting your own outside caterer. Overall, our event was a success. Our guests were happy, the couple was happy, and that made us happy!
