User2490870 Sent on 01/02/2016Not only is the venue gorgeous, but Mary was super sweet when I called her the next day and found out I forgot my phone charger. I am just a bridesmaid, but she offered to mail it to me (I live over an hour away) without any charge. So nice of her and less stress now on my shoulders finding a way to make it back there. Amanda (I think was her name) was also so helpful the day of to all of us. So thank you ladies so much for your hospitality! -
User1324723 Sent on 09/11/2013While pricey this venue was absolutely beautiful. We originally booked for just 5 hours but after we found out that set up needed to be done in that time period as well we decided to book the venue for the entire day. In the end this was a better fit for us and allowed us to take our time setting up. We also sprung for the upstairs loft as an area where the bride and her bridesmaids could get ready, it was expensive but the convenience was nice. For us we fell in love with it the moment we walked into the building. The garden was dead in the winter when we booked the venue but by the time of our wedding it was full of beautiful trees and flowers. We saved time by having the ceremony outside in the garden and then the reception indoors, even if we took the risk of having the outside ceremony. They do have a plan B in case of bad weather. The inside of the venue has been beautifully remodelled and offered us a wonderful backdrop for our reception. One of the major pluses was the interior, it was so wonderfully decorated as is, we hardly had to do much decorating ourselves. All we did was put out a few photos and knick knacks and dressed the tables, all of the other ambiance came from the building itself. They also had a photo booth already set up, not something we would have done ourselves but a nice addition which was popular at the reception.The owner can take some getting used to but she is very professional. She is busy and there were some delays in contact but nothing that had any lasting effect on the event itself, also her assistant Amanda was available if the owner wasn't to help with any questions. We wanted to give a special thanks to Amanda, who on the day of the wedding went to great lengths to make sure everything went smoothly and that we were happy, she is wonderful. I can't think of a better venue in Springfield for not only a wedding but any type of large party, this venue is fantastic and I would highly recommend it.

User924787 Sent on 09/06/2012We are so glad we chose the Firehouse as the place where we tied the knot and had our reception. I feel like literally every single one of our guests complimented our choice of venue. Several of our friends said this was the best wedding they had ever been too. Our friend whom had just gotten married 2.5 months ago told us that our wedding was way more beautiful than her own, and she wouldn't say that if it weren't true. Very beautiful venue! Our only complaint was that the owner is a little too "overly helpful". She was interfering with the photographer, giving her own "directions" on how to pose. Also a bummer is that you are not allowed to tape anything on the walls, but we still managed to make the venue look extra special! Highly recommend this venue for your special day! -
User1492433 Sent on 01/02/2014Amazing Venue. The indoor/outdoor versatility was perfect for us- for it allowed many more guest for a great price. I agree with other people who have used this venue in the past- the owner and staff is hard to get used to. We had some confusion with booking- ended up not being able to have our rehearsal dinner there the night before which made rehearsal difficult and some goofs during the actual ceremony. The morning of the wedding we were able to set up at 830 a.m.- They showed up 30 minutes late and smelled of booze. The owner took a plate of food home to her husband before my husband and I could even get to the food. THEN during photos asked if her employees could help themselves to the food! I was totally blown away. Their bartenders poured heavy drinks- resulting in running out of alcohol and many guest were over served. Our wedding ended early do to this. She was present all night and bossy. Unfortunately, I would not recommend using this venue even though its so beautiful because of management.

User343041 Sent on 05/27/2010The firehouse is a nice venue, but could be managed better. The owner changes tables and chairs without telling those who have booked the venue in the future, which could make planning difficult for some people. Overall its not bad, we would still us the firehouse if we had to do it again.
