My husband and I got married at the Avenue on December 20, 2024. The venue is beautiful and was the perfect setting for our dream winter wedding. Cathy was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is professional, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. Cathy truly made us feel like more than just clients- she felt like a friend! She brought our vision to life and ensured that everything ran smoothly on the big day. We did have a minor hiccup in the wedding planning process, but Cathy worked tirelessly to ensure that our day was perfect. We received so many compliments from family and friends about the venue and wonderful staff. I highly recommend this venue to host your event!

Cathy and her team were great and professional. The venue was gorgeous and everything that I wanted in a venue. I was able to have my dream barn wedding. We had a hiccup a week before our wedding but everything ended up being amazing on our big day

I could go on for days about how wonderful the Avenue was. The venue itself is stunning. Cathy and her team are so fantastic and attentive to their couples and our day could not have gone any better. Their decor options were a lifesaver and made planning our wedding so much easier. We were able to make the day exactly how we wanted. The tap system at the bar was a huge hit with us and our guests. They were so flexible, allowing us to wait until the last moment to try and get our outdoor ceremony and we were successful! We would do nothing differently if we did it over and would book the Avenue time and time again!

A few hiccups in the beginning of the planning process, which was to be expected with a new venue. Overall, we were pleased with the venue and its amenities. Amelia is wonderful at what she does and will ensure your day runs smoothly.

The Avenue was the perfect venue for our winter wedding! We received so many compliments from guests and were beyond thrilled with how our day turned out. The physical space creates an intimate atmosphere without feeling the least bit claustrophobic (we had ~140 guests). The wedding coordinators do such an amazing job of organizing and utilizing the space to its advantage. The decor was even more beautiful than we could have imagined. It was a huge relief that they had so many items in their decor store that were able to be used for our special day.
Ashlea was our coordinator and I cannot say enough great things about her. She was exceptional with communication and organization. She also has such a calm and collected demeanor that can be hard to find in this industry. She made sure to be in contact with all our vendors in the weeks leading up to the wedding so we did not have to stress with it.
The only thing I would recommend is over-communicating with the bartenders prior to your event, especially if you are providing a multitude of beverage options. We ended up with inexperienced bartenders that were not versed on our printed menu and were at times serving incorrect wines and beers. The service itself was otherwise great, but inexperience / unpreparedness could lead to wasted alcohol if not handled on the front end.
Regardless, the Avenue does provide a list of recommended vendors and everyone we used from their list was fantastic!
I would 100% recommend the Avenue to host your event! You will get a gorgeous and unique venue with a team of passionate professionals to support you in the planning process.

They are the perfect host!!! couldn't ask for more!! Booking this venue was the best choice we made in our preparation. They helped us plan and execute a perfect, elegant, and eventful wedding from scratch even if we booked last minute. They also made sure that our personal preferences are included in the preparation and plan. Cathy and the whole team has been super helpful and accommodating. They surely went out of their way to make sure we had the best time of our lives.

I definitely give Avenue in Sarver five stars! My husband and I were originally scheduled to have our wedding at another venue, but two months before our wedding, the venue declared bankruptcy. After a tough week dealing with the situation, Avenue in Sarver was the first place we went to to rebook our wedding. As soon as I met Cathy and saw the venue, I felt peace, hope and happiness. She was so kind and compassionate towards us and our situation. Cathy, Jess and Ruby responded quickly to questions we had. Jess did a wonderful job decorating and Ruby was a fantastic day-of-coordinator. The three of them went above and beyond for us. They did additional things for us that we didn’t even expect. There were a couple of things that did not go according to plan, but I would not deduct a star for those things as they were pretty minor. You can definitely rely on Avenue in Sarver to give you a magical wedding experience. They are also flexible and encourage you to be the one making decisions about how you envision your special day. We wanted simple and elegant and that’s exactly what we got! After the wedding I had so much joy and kept replaying the day in my mind. Thank you Avenue in Sarver for blessing us!

They made coordination with our vendors so easy. The space is so beautiful and was the perfect place to celebrate. 100% recommend this venue for any celebration!

We just had our beautiful wedding reception at Avenue in Sarver and we have been so excited to leave a 5 star review for this incredible venue. Unfortunately we do not have our professional photos back yet but there is also a gorgeous outdoor area. Our guests loved floating between the inside and outside areas. Everything was beautiful and decorated impeccably. Our team that we worked with could not have been better. Our avenue team made sure to be in contact with every vendor from caterer to cake to DJ to some pizza we ordered late night! Can you believe it? They also donate leftover food and flowers to good causes. I would really think that if you're on the fence, just choose Avenue! One last thing we'll say - we love the Rock N Roll lane address!
