    Stage 1 Weddings & Receptions - Perfect for Any Wedding Day

    If I could describe my experience at Stage 1 Weddings & Receptions I would say AMAZING! I had a wonderful experience. This was the best fit for my husband and I because when we met Andrea we feel in love. She was there for us from the beginning and even reached out to us after the wedding. The venue is in the perfect place and has wonderful food. You do not have to worry about anything when you arrive or throughout the day. My family is still talking about how wonderful the day was and how efficient everything went. I could not recommend them enough.

    Stage 1 Catering's reply:

    Thank you so much Kayla for the compliment. You all made it easy because of you. The best bride and Groom ever and Mom too!
    You are missed already. Many blessings on your new journey together.
    Andrea

    The Wedding was Awesome

    Our experience with Stage 1 was exceptional. Mrs. Andrea was an awesome and walked us through every part of the experience. She provided a very detailed list of what needed to be done by when and that truly made a huge difference. The week of the wedding was a breeze and the venue looked amazing. The wedding was amazing and reception were a lot of fun. I would highly recommend.

    Amazing experience!

    Having my wedding at Stage 1 was the best decision I could’ve made! Andrea was helpful from the very beginning until even after the wedding had ended. She was very attentive and had my (the bride’s) best interest at heart. The venue was very accommodating and beautiful. The food was AMAZING! Everything about the experience was above expectations! I would recommend Stage 1 to anyone getting married!

    Happily Ever Hairston

    Mrs. Andrea was an absolute gem for my wedding day!! Our wedding day was absolutely perfect thanks to Mrs. Andrea and her beautiful venue! The moment my mother and I visited Stage I for a tour, we knew it was the one for my big day! Mrs. Andrea handled every request, was punctual, and had my wedding ceremony flowing so smoothly so my hubby and I could enjoy our day! I had a very large wedding party and Mrs. Andrea kept everyone in order!My family is still talking about how wonderful she was! If you ate looking for a venue to fit your magical day, Stage I is the place to be! I wish I could do it all over again

    Wonderful experience!

    As a bride, I couldn't have been more confident in my venue. Andrea made sure that I didn't have to worry about anything at my reception. All of my guests were in awe at how beautiful it is at Stage 1!

    Julia & Christopher, You two looked like royalty! I enjoyed every moment getting to know both of your families. We wish you the best on your new journey together.

    Worth the money!!

    This venue gave me everything I wanted for my wedding. It was very stress free and our coordinator Andrea made sure everything went on time and as planned. It seems like a lot of money but they include everything except the flowers, cake and of course your attire. I didn’t have to worry about a thing which is just what you want planning a wedding. Stage 1 takes a lot off of your back to make sure you have a wonderful experience. The food was amazing. I got compliments on the food the most. The staff was very attentive and super nice. The bridal suite was cozy and warm and my husband loved the grooms room. Table arrangements were very elegant and have a lot to choose from. Very pretty table runners with a lot of colors to match yours. My family really appreciated that we didn’t have to set up or clean up a thing. Just the whole event if made to what the bride and groom want. I’m very glad we chose Stage 1 for our wedding venue.

    Thank you Katie for such a lovely review. We wish you and Michael the very best for your future together.

    Hands down will always recommend Stage 1 for any party needs! Andrea is such a light and definitely the energy you want putting together your event! She was always there when I had a question regarding my wedding and of course there were TONS with Covid. The best decision My husband and I made was choosing Stage 1!

    Stage 1 Catering's reply:

    Absolutely the sweetest couple ever! Thank you so much for this great review and many blessings on this new journey as Mr. & Mrs. but also a Mommy and Daddy. We have been so lucky to have had your parents and many more from your family to have their reception here through the years. Andrea

    The perfect venue!!

    Wow, I can’t say enough good things about Stage 1! I am so incredibly happy we chose this venue for our wedding reception. From start to finish, Andrea was just a joy to work with. We had chosen our date long before Covid was an issue, and we did not want to change dates. Andrea did everything possible to accommodate us and make our guests feel safe. When looking at venues, one of Stage 1’s biggest selling points for us was the huge dance floor, and we were especially glad to have that extra space when social distancing mandates came into play. Even while following COVID protocols, she truly helped us have the most normal reception possible! She literally took care of everything so that the reception flowed smoothly. We always had a drink in hand and a plate of food ready for us at our table! The food was outstanding, and all of our guests are still commenting on how good the food was and that it was the best wedding reception they’d ever been to! We were thankful that Andrea packed up the remaining food which we ate later that night once we arrived to our hotel. She even included a honeymoon basket full of goodies and thoughtful touches! We appreciated her willingness to incorporate various cultural traditions into our reception that helped to make it the perfect day! Andrea truly does offer an all-inclusive venue where everything is included and taken care of, which left me more time to focus on planning the other details of my wedding. Thank you, Andrea, from the bottom of our hearts for helping to make our wedding day absolutely perfect!!!

    Stage 1 Catering's reply:

    Rachel and Ray! Your Reception was the highlight of 2020! It was such a joy to watch you two dance the night away!
    Can't wait to see your pictures....

    Amazing from start to finish

    Its not enough things I could say about Andrea (all good things of course). Andrea is literally a life saver she took the stress off of me especially since we planned a wedding for 2 years to have COVID19 and Hurricane Delta try to stop us. Andrea was there every step of the way, I mean every step. Her venue is amazing her packages comes with everything you could ask for. You are welcome to add any decorations you want and she would put out for you.
    Overall book with her and you will not be disappointed!

    Stage 1 Catering's reply:

    Nasha and Charles, What an amazing journey we had together. Who knew all of our lives would change in 2020 because of this thing called Covid 19. Thank you for allowing me to host your wedding and reception! Not even Hurricane Laura or Delta could stop us! 10-10-20 will always be an important date to us all.

    Many blessings,

    Andrea

    Stage 1 Reception

    We got married during Covid 19. Before the pandemic we had 150-200 people coming to the wedding and then half of the list did not want to come out of fear. Ms. Andrea worked with us to help take away my stress and was flexible in this unprecedented time! The decorations were beautiful! During the reception here she always made sure we had food and drinks for us. Everything was perfect and we had such a fun and memorable night!

    Stage 1 Catering's reply:

    Rebecca and Cody, Wow! What a journey this year has taken us on...
    Covid 19, Hurricane Laura and Delta! Seriously would of gotten to most people but you handled it like a champ. It was so much fun watching you and Cody dance. Everyone was ready to be with family and friends after this crazy year. So glad we had good things happen in 2020 and your wedding/ reception was one of them! Thank you for choosing us!
    Sincerely,

    Andrea
