    Our Wedding Dat

    Backstage was nothing short of wonderful to work with planning every detail of our wedding day the past 2 years! The night before our wedding after setting up I received a phone call that there had been a sewage flood at the Meyer theater. We would no longer be able to have our reception at backstage. Nicole and Sam worked to get everything moved over to new venue (Resch Expo) overnight. Yes, it was super hectic and some small things did go wrong, but I was still able to have my wedding and not cancel it which was the main concern. I would highly recommend them to anyone for a venue choice!

    Amazing food and experience!

    I can’t say enough great things about our reception! I had so many people come up and compliment how delicious the food was. The staff were amazing as well. Nicole and Samantha made the experience seamless and we’re there to help every step of the way. Would 10/10 do it again!

    Amazing Venue and staff!

    My wife and I were just amazed by the staff and venue for our wedding! We could not have asked for more. The staff was wonderful and Chef Nicole was beyond great! The food was amazing!! All of our guests are still commenting on our venue. We held our ceremony and reception at Backstage and things went so smoothly. I would highly recommend them!

    Wonderful experience!

    Nicole and her team were great to work with. They thought of so many details that I hadn’t considered. The food was amazing, all of our guests were commenting on how good their meals were. The staff was attentive and very helpful before and during our ceremony and reception. I highly recommend Backstage and Nicole!

    Thank you for such kind words Dana! It was a pleasure working with you both! Best of luck to you both!

    Wedding Perfection

    Our wedding at The Meyer Theater and at Backstage at the Meyer was everything we could have hoped for - and more. The venue is beautiful, stunning to say the least. The staff was outstanding, and accommodating, sincere, and so kind. The food... Oh. My. God. The food was incredible. Nicole outdid herself. She created a custom "small bite", brunch-themed menu, based off my our favorite foods. Everyone raved and said it was hands-down the best wedding food they have ever had. I honestly cannot say enough about Nicole, just outstanding. She was prompt with responses, creative with her cooking, she was hilarious and fun to work with, she made the day of our wedding and the entire planning process 100% stress-free. Nicole and her staff made my husband and I feel at ease and we didn't worry about a single detail.

    Backstage's reply:

    Hi Heather!

    Thank you so much for the review! You gave me the largest smile and made my day!!!

    Have a fantastic week, and hope to run into you and Dan again!

    Amazing venue

    We really had the best experience with Nicole and Backstage. From the first taste test to all the way through our big day, she made everything such a breeze. We could not possibly have been more grateful to her and the staff for how perfect our day was. Anyone and everyone looking for a venue should look no further than Backstage. Truly a top notch venue. THANK YOU!!

    A wonderful shoutout to Nicole and staff!

    Choosing Backstage at the Meyer for our May 2019 wedding was the best decision we could have made. From the moment we walked in, we knew that this was THE place--unique, urban, classy and lovely. It isn't just a typical empty room, it has character from top to bottom with its unique lighting, lovely floors and gorgeous windows. The space itself is a game-changer, but meeting and working with Nicole was the icing on the cake. Nicole was beyond helpful, fun and easy to work with. She was accommodating and always promptly responded to and answered any questions or addressed any concerns we had. People often say that planning a wedding is stressful, but Nicole made the entire process enjoyable, easy and stress free. She is knowledgeable, understanding, personable and offers many helpful suggestions. To top it off, Nicole is an extremely talented chef. Our guests are still raving about the unbelievably delicious food served by Nicole and her friendly, attentive and talented staff. Each meal was perfect, unbelievably flavorful, aesthetically pleasing and served at a perfect temperature. We offered our guests four different entrees and each one was delectable. We could go on and on about how incredibly phenomenal the entire experience was. We will be forever indebted to Backstage at the Meyer, Nicole and her staff for making our wedding unforgettable. We highly recommend Backstage at the Meyer. The space, the food, Nicole, the staff and bartender are all top-notch.

    Best Day Ever

    Late post: We had our wedding reception in April and let me just say it was absolutely perfect. Everything we expected and more. Beyond my expectation. I worked with Nicole for most of my wedding day details. She was a breath of fresh air with planning our evening. She was so easy to work with for planning the details, finalizing everything and so flexible when I needed to prepare for my big day. Stress free:) Oh did I mention, she is also the chef that made our dinner?! So many guest came up to me and said it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had:) I would recommend having your wedding reception and possibly your ceremony at Backstage. My experience and big day I still cannot stop thinking about! Absolutely perfect:)

    Backstage's reply:

    Thank you Justine!! It was so great to help a friend with their wedding!! You two looked stunning and you dress was so beautiful!!! Mike's mashed potato song cracks me up every time!!

    Backstage at the Meyer made our Wedding dreams come true!

    Booking Backstage at the Meyer for our ceremony AND reception venue was one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process. The space was unique and beautiful. The location was perfect for our wedding guests - downtown with lots of action and a convenient parking ramp directly across the street. And the food was TO DIE FOR! Every guest RAVED about the food. It came out piping hot, the portions were gigantic, and the service was quick. We had guests telling us they've never walked away full from a wedding reception meal before - until now. The Executive Chef and Event Coordinator Nicole Hoida is the most amazing person to work with. When I requested an in person meeting or sent her an email/text, she always responded quickly and with all the information I asked for. She was easy going & friendly! Very passionate about what she does. I remember telling her at the end of the reception that I wanted to get married every weekend at Backstage at the Meyer just so that I could work with her! If you are planning a smaller wedding - 150 people or less - consider having it here! You won't regret it!

    Backstage's reply:

    Thank you Stacie and Tim!

    I am ecstatic to say the least of your review and loved working with you as well!

    Couldn’t have asked for a better venue!

    Our experience with Backstage was phenomenal. I would recommend the venue to anyone! We had a smaller wedding, and the atmosphere felt warm and inviting. Nicole worked with us to make sure all the details were exactly what we were looking for. We received so many compliments about the venue, especially the food! Backstage helped us to find other vendors in the area as well.

    Also, thank you for the thank You Note (it's hanging in my office!) What a BEAUTIFUL picture :)

    The Catering Co and the Meyer Theatre were the most accomodating vendors I could have ever iagined. Laura accomodated me with any request and her staff was willing to accomodate with out any fuss. The comments on their food were amazing everone loved everything that the caterer did and s\complemented me on the way the Meyer Theatre looked. This is a unique reception site with great quality service.

    Yes, Yes, a Million Times Yes!!

    We were looking for an all-inclusive vendor to help us plan our wedding in our hometown that we no longer live in. Backstage was the perfect one-stop shop! The provided everything we needed and if we had rentals they work directly with the company so we wouldn't need to manage that. Chef Nicole flawlessly planned our menu to blend some southern roots into our GB wedding and helped coordinate all of the details! We had a seamless and fantastic day, which I can absolutely say was made possible by Chef Nicole and the Backstage team!

    Backstage's reply:

    Thank you for such a great review! I loved working with you both and having the twists with the two roots for the wedding!

    The Best Reception Venue!!

    I can't imagine having had my wedding reception anywhere else but Backstage. It was perfect in every way! Nicole and all of the staff were extremely friendly, I felt like family every time we talked. The food was absolutely amazing. We got a lot of compliments! The space decorated itself, we really didn't need to do a lot to decorate more. The size was perfect for our wedding with roughly 115 guests. Every question I had along the planning process (which was a lot), was answered. On the day before and of the wedding, some staff switched around their schedule's to make sure they would be there when we arrived for some little touch ups we had to do. Everything went smooth throughout the night. There wasn't a single hiccup all night that I knew of! Thank you so much for everything Backstage!!

    The Perfect Day

    Everyone at the Meyer Theatre and the Backstage were wonderful to work with. The food was delicious and bar was maintained well. Every staff member was available and responsive. The reception hall was decorated beautifully and the ceremony was perfect on the theatre stage. Nicole does such a great job staying organized and being open to any and all suggestions. We had a lot of ideas that they haven’t had before but they were so willing to give everything a try. We couldn’t be happier with how everything was handled. They truly helped make our wedding day go as problem-free as possible.

    I would not recommend this venue to anyone, especially for a wedding. This is such a special day, and to have the issues that I did are not fun to handle and only induce stress. I was double booked not once, but twice. I was reassured that the rest of my experience with The Meyer would be flawless and unfortunately that was not the case. My event coordinator was extremely unprofessional throughout the week of my wedding, and I am just so disappointed with how it all played out. The bar staff during my reception was also incredibly horrible, as I had complaint after complaint from my guests. They were very snarky and just downright rude, and I was fortunate enough to experience this myself that night, so that's always fun. I could list all the other issues that I had, but I think I made my point. I would suggest finding a venue that is more professional and experienced with weddings, because this venue is just not it.
