    Roaring 20’s wedding

    Our wedding we absolutely perfect thanks to ALL of the staff from The Thaxton. They made sure we felt comfortable with everything and made sure even with mishaps that everything went as planned. I can’t thank them enough for making us feel special on our day.

    Everything we wanted and more...

    Where do I even start? Everything about our experience at The Thaxton was amazing, from start to finish. Kim was very professional throughout the planning process and responded promptly to email communications. She worked with us every step of the way, to help us bring our ideas to life in this unique space, on a very short time line. She took time to answer all of our questions and quickly addressed any concerns, which put my mind at ease. We decided to have both our ceremony and reception at The Thaxton (instead of just one or the other) and it was the best decision ever! The décor, artwork, lighting and architectural details combined make this a beautiful, romantic, one-of-a-kind event space. We didn't have to spend too much on our own décor because The Thaxton is already so beautiful the way it is! We love everything about this space and there are some great backdrops for wedding photos. Mad Dog was a great host! He and Kim made sure everything ran smoothly on our big day. Kim checked in with me constantly, throughout the night to make sure I had everything I needed. All of the staff at The Thaxton are simply amazing and delivered top notch service in every area. They all work very hard to make sure guests at The Thaxton have the best experience possible. They sure know how to throw a party! I am so grateful we were able to have our event at The Thaxton and we can't wait to plan our next event here!

    The Thaxton's reply:

    Hearing that makes our hearts soar! Thank you so much for choosing The Thaxton and for taking the time to review!

    Our Covid Wedding

    Through all the unknowns Kim was a ray of light! She was professional, flexible and understanding! We loved how Kim helped us make sure we had every detail in place and she was encouraging of our unique ideas! With the pandemic raging she stayed calm and created a safe environment for our family and loved ones. We are so grateful for all the help she gave us and we had the best day filled with love and all good vibes!!! 10 out of 10 would get married all over again there 💓

    The Thaxton's reply:

    Thank you so much Teresa! We are thrilled that you felt well taken care of! The pleasure was all ours.

    Perfect Wedding and Reception

    We had our wedding and reception at The Thaxton on 3/7/2020. It was just perfect! Kim, Mad Dog and all the staff were excellent throughout the entire event.My guests had a blast and were raving about it the next day. I’m so happy we chose The Thaxton as our venue. I can’t say enough good things about this space, Kim, Mad Dog and all the staff members. Dj Uptown kept the party going and the crowd engaged. I’m actually sad it’s over! You did a great job and we will be forever grateful for the wonderful memories you helped create.

    The Thaxton's reply:

    Thank you so much! Hearing those words is everything we could hope for. Thank you for letting be a part of it!

    Awesome Venue

    Everything about The Thaxton was awesome. Kim was very helpful and responsive from the very first meeting. She answered every question we had throughout the planning. Mad Dog was an awesome surprise to have as an additional guide on our wedding day. The whole venue was perfect for us. The decor at the Thaxton is perfect/beautiful and made it so we had to buy very little decorations. I would also recommend using the house DJ - DJ Uptown - if you are looking for a DJ. I hope
    I get a chance to go back someday!

    The Thaxton's reply:

    Thank you for sharing your experience and for choosing The Thaxton. We hope you find occasion to return as well!

    Amazing, Felt like a movie

    I loved this Venue !! This is clearly a place that throws parties. It was such a cool unique space with multi-level accommodations that were perfect for the vibe we had. Many of my guest left saying, I want to throw a party here. As well as telling me I need to have another event again next year. I cannot say enough good things about this location. If you are looking for something outside the box, this is absolutely your place. I can honestly say I enjoyed every minute of my wedding reception. My host, bartenders, DJ were phenomenal! Thank you, for making my night!

    Memories Made at Thaxton

    As a friend I was helping to put together a 25th wedding anniversary event over the weekend. One of the top priorities was to find a venue which has a character and not the stereotype ball room. The personalities of the couple was also completely different. One the old world charm and quiet and the other crazy, fun loving, full of life. So it was important to find a venue which had color, character, a bit of history, a bit artistic, not to mention convenience, great staff, accessibility and a bit of flexibility. We managed to find all these at Thaxton. The moment you enter the closed doors, you are in for a surprise. Romantic, colorful, subtle and you don't need any additional decor to add. More surprises, a beautiful mezzanine bar for a small gathering, and huge room for the bride or the groom. At the basement its a beautiful , spacious bar cum dance floor to dance your heart out. All these wrapped in this beautiful Art Deco wedding venue. Ideal for 80-100 guests with space for people to move and sit in groups. Kim who runs the place was excellent in terms of responding to mails, showing us the place more than many times without any tiredness, talking about the history of the place and most importantly guiding you through the whole event and not looking for opportunities to add more cost. Right from the first time we communicated till the event day it was a wonderful experience to get immediate response and everything arranged perfectly on the day of the event. Her team members were excited, willing to help always and making one feel part of the family. Special mention goes to Bryan, Sam at the Bar, Maddog in logistics. The place was clean, people were friendly and professional, and enough parking lots around the venue . Kim was there throughout the event and managed the whole show to perfection. It s a perfect venue and if you want to soak in a bit of history, romantic, artistic, rocking ambience you found all these in this venue. Thank you Kim and team for the wonderful memories.

    The Thaxton's reply:

    Deepest gratitude for such a detailed and lovely account of your experience. It was an honor to serve you. And please know, that the pleasure was all ours!

    The most unique and beautiful venue!

    Our wedding was June 22, 2019 at The Thaxton. We enjoyed every moment of our day at this venue! It's such a unique space and feels as if you're living a party straight out of the Great Gatsby! Kim was an amazing coordinator. You can tell she knows what works and what won't in the space. She made every step of the planning process simple and made sure our evening went beautifully. I can't thank her enough for her assertiveness and the way she orchestrated our evening! If you are looking for an a venue that makes your wedding planning a breeze and a memory you'll never forget this is the place!

    The Thaxton's reply:

    Your kind words are everything. And your pictures are gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing. And for choosing The Thaxton!

    absolutely perfect

    The Thaxton was the perfect location for our wedding and ceremony. They were very easy to work with, very accommodating, and very fun! The space is so unique it really didn't need additional decorating.
    Wasn't expecting the couples champagne they provided at our sweetheart table either, so that was a lovely and unexpected surprise. 11/10

    A hidden gem!

    Perfect venue for the not so "traditional" couple! The entire venue is a work of art, there are suprising details around every corner! My guests loved everything about it! Very accommodating also! Awesome all around!

    We got married at The Thaxton 9/22/18 and it was unbelievably amazing. Everything went exactly as we wanted it to. The staff are true professionals and are SO on top of everything and super accommodating. We were blown away by how smoothly everything went. Kim, Mad Dog, and Tayvon made our night amazing. Every time we need ANYTHING Tayvon was right there with another drink or plate of food. The DJ (DJ Uptown) kept the party going. If you want a party, this is the venue to pick.

    We had our rehearsal dinner at The Thaxton and I do not think we could have picked a more perfect location!

    We celebrated our daughter's 21st birthday in Gatsby style at The Thaxton Speakeasy and it was absolutely the perfect venue! We loved it! The decor was beautiful. Kim, our event coordinator was very accommodating and so helpful throughout the planning process and night of the event. Many thanks to her for making the celebration very special and a huge success! Also the supporting staff were very helpful and friendly which added to the success of our party. Kudos to Mad Dog, the doormen, AJ & and our bartenders! All of our guests loved the venue and had the best time! It could not have been more perfect!

    My husband and I had our wedding and reception at the Thaxton on 5/6/17. The day could not have gone more smoothly and that is due largely in part to the wonderful staff at the Thaxton. During the planning phase, I was blown away with how organized Peter (the owner) was. He knew exactly how our evening would flow the best and made great suggestions based on our needs. He was also always extremely responsive and helpful via email during this time. He was present to lead our rehearsal at the venue the day before the event, which as a nervous bride, put my mind at ease that everything was under control. On the day, we were able to access the venue early to take photographs, which was ideal due to our timeline. Throughout the evening him and his staff, notably Mad Dog, lead the evening flawlessly. Mad Dog's attention to detail was remarkable, including ensuring my husband and I were happy and being taken care of throughout the evening. We received nothing but praise from our guests on their experience at our event. The venue is absolutely unique and gorgeous. Our photos came out amazing. I could not be more happy with our experience here and would absolutely recommend this venue for not only weddings, but any larger event. We cannot begin to express our thanks to the venue staff!

    The Thaxton's reply:

    Aww shucks! Thanks you so much for taking the time to review us. To hear you had an awesome experience means more than know. Thanks again!

    The Thaxton is a beautiful building, but the staff makes it very special. Every time I thought of something else that needed to be done, Peter said that was part of their normal service. Their superb service made our son's wedding everything we and the bride and groom wanted. The Thaxton is definitely a 5 star venue!

    I recently had my son's rehearsal dinner at The Thaxton. It was a delightful experience! The ambiance of the prohibition/art deco look was a perfect theme for me to work around. The responsiveness of Peter and Kim was top notch. They were professional, organized and so easy to work with! It made the planning almost seem effortless for me. The guests were very complimentary to the look and feel of this venue! Thank you Kim, Peter, and Mad Dog! You made our night perfect!

    Thank you so much for the kind words! Nothing makes us happier than to hear you were pleased.

    This was the perfect wedding venue for us. It is such a beautiful and unique space. Peter, Kim, and Mad Dog were so easy and wonderful to work with. They made sure our wedding was the event we wanted it to be. The Thaxton has several different levels which made for a really cool party. Each level is different and allowed our guests to do what they wanted to do whether it was just sit and talk or relax in the lounge or dance the night away downstairs. The staff are all so professional and experienced with event planning and I never felt like I was being cheated or swindled like I did with some other venues. Such a cool space. Highly recommend.

    The Thaxton's reply:

    Thank you so much! We are thrilled to hear you have warm feelings towards us! We appreciate your review and recommendation.

    My husband and I had our ceremony and reception at The Thaxton last weekend. From the moment we walked in, we knew this was the place! It was the first and only venue we even toured. We knew we wanted a spot that would accommodate the ceremony and reception all in one, that also had availability to do food stations. Peter had a vision for us immediately - he drew a mock up floor plan, walked us through the schedule for the evening, told us how the dance floor would work - and this was all on our first tour! From then until the day of, he answered my countless question and gave me comfort in our decisions. On our wedding day, Peter and Kim collaborated with my vendors to turn the facility into the most magical place we could imagine. The ceremony was warm, romantic and whimsical. They flipped to the reception, and the room was buzzing with excitement from all our guests. I can't even imagine how many times I had guests come up to us and compliment the venue. We even heard that it was the most beautiful wedding some had ever attended. To top it all off, Mr. Mad Dog swept us off our feet. He was attentive to us, provided us guidance throughout the night for where we should be, and even brought us drinks when we needed them. He was touched by our vows, and we could tell from the start that our night truly mattered to him. The Thaxton turned our dreams into reality. If we could live in that moment forever, we would. There is not one thing we would change, and we owe it all to Peter, Kim and Mad Dog!!

    The Thaxton's reply:

    We are humbled...to say the least. But most of all, honored to have had the chance to share such a meaningful time in your lives! Much love and gratitude.
