Absolutely amazing to work with! Nicole & the chef team were able to get us a partially customized menu to reflect my and my husband's different heritages. Space is gorgeous and ...

geable about events (and weddings) that we put our full trust in her and her team and didn't have to worry about anything during the event!
We cannot stress how incredibly easy it was to work with Nicole, from the food & drinks menu/orders to the audio-visual team she used to help us live-stream our event. Her team and AV specialists were kind, courteous, and knowledgeable, and the way that Nicole supported us before, during, and after our event was better than we would have expected. Also, the food/drink selections were excellent! Everyone loved the food and the crab cakes were bar none. The bartender was extremely knowledgeable and prepared drinks to perfection.
The venue, 317 on Rice Park, is a wonderful location and is easily accessible. The street and garage parking are adjacent to the venue. The venue is ADA-accessible, and with double doors, we could easily traverse the entire building. Additionally, the decor was perfect and we did not have to do anything extra to spruce it up.
317 on Rice Park and Nicole and her team are gems! It was a perfect place for our non-traditional wedding and we had plenty of space to socialize and enjoy the day.
Our wedding at 317 on Rice Park in June 2023 was excellent. We were so happy with the level of service provided. Nicole, the Director of Catering and Sales, was extremely knowledge...
able and quick to respond to all of our questions.
The food was delicious, and many of our guests commented on the quality. Wedding food can be tricky, and the chef at 317 certainly understands how to cook for a crowd. Cocktail hour appetizers were very good, and the salmon and chicken dishes we selected were more unique and tasty then usual wedding entrees. We decided to select the venue's dessert options instead of a wedding cake, and we are so glad we did. The cheesecake and chocolate tart were delicious, and they even provided vegan dessert to accommodate a few guests.
The entire event flowed very well, and the space was perfect for a cocktail hour and reception. We loved the look of the old-school bar in the cocktail hour space and the reception room was perfect.
The staff was excellent and made sure the wedding went smoothly. They were willing to go above and beyond for our guests, including searching through linens for a lost set of car keys! They were also able to remove tables off the dance floor quickly, without breaking the flow of the reception. Multiple guests commented on the efficiency and friendliness of the staff.
We would highly recommend 317 on Rice Park. Our reception went perfectly thanks to their great team
