Beautiful venue! Perfect for a smaller wedding. Due to the nature of the venue, the set up time was limited and rushed. It's open to the public, so you are limited on more than a few things. Overall, great venue, great staff to work with, affordable and perfect for us.
I had my rehersal dinner and wedding reception at the train depot. It was perfect! And the price was even better. I could have any caterer or vendor I wanted. I wasn't limited to specific companys. We even brought some outdoor games that we could have in the grass area. It was far enough from the parking lot and highway that we didn't have to worry about safety. The employees that were there were helpful in helping us set up and tear down. Highly reccommend to anyone!!!
We held our reception at the Discovery Center in April 2018. It was a beautiful space for our dinner and dancing and our guests seemed pretty comfortable with the setup. Love the walls of windows in the Atrium and all the limestone- a great backdrop for photos. The fees are extremely reasonable! The best part is working with Jonathan- he is always prompt returning calls and emails and was available several times on the spot when we dropped in from out of town with more questions leading up to the big day. Other staff members are similarly friendly and helpful. Very glad we chose to have our reception here!
