While the venue itself was beautiful, my experience with the owner and Director of Operations was extremely disappointing. There was an incident involving miscommunication, and wh...
en I expressed my frustrations about the situation, I was told that I needed to apologize because I had hurt the on-site coordinator’s feelings. I was also told that if I did not apologize, I would no longer be allowed to have my wedding there — despite the fact that we had already paid the venue in full.
In addition, comments made to my wedding coordinator were deeply inappropriate and concerning. She was told that she “needed to learn how to control her client” and “learn how to de-escalate her client.” We were also told that they hoped when we returned the next day we would “remain calm” statements felt racially coded, offensive, and rooted in harmful stereotypes rather than genuine professionalism or care.
On the day of my wedding, instead of allowing us to enjoy our special day, it felt as though the staff was watching and policing us the entire time. The owner and staff hovered around my guests and even my mother throughout the event. They repeatedly interrupted us indoors and accused us of smoking and damaging property, neither of which occurred.
Not only were my husband and I treated poorly, but our wedding party and guests were also made to feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. What should have been one of the happiest days of our lives was overshadowed by the way we were treated.
Wonderful to work with from start to finish! Alexa was so helpful- from the walk through tour, the tasting, pricing options, the day of (with the expected minor bumps), and all of...
my emails in between, I had no worries or stress the day of! Everything was taken care of, the food was delicious, and everyone loved having a place to dance, talk, or hang outside! I HIGHLY recommend this venue and staff!!
The Mavris was a great venue for our wedding! The venue was very clean and organized, the food was great, and the staff were professional and took great care of us. Our wedding pla...
nner and day-of coordinator, Alexa, was very responsive, attentive, and handled all of the details for us.
What an amazing experience Mavris provided for our daughter’s recent wedding!!! Alexa, our coordinator, was fantastic… so kinds, organized, efficient and helpful! Food was excelle...
nt!!! The waiter and bartenders were on top of it. I must admit, I was a bit skeptical about how the reception would flow between the multiple floors. Not an issue at all. In fact, we received multiple compliments from our guests about how is was laid out and flowed so nicely. Well done,Mavris staff!!! Recommend you highly!!!
My husband and I got married at Mavris on November 4, 2023 and it was a dream (perfect weather, beautiful space, delicious food, great bartenders). Our guests still rave about the ...
food and the event space is amazing! The only thing keeping us from leaving a 5-star review is that unfortunately Mavris has been having a staff turnover problem and this impacted our experience. If we could go back in time, we would still use Mavris however we would hire our own coordinator to be available for the Rehearsal and Day-of. Unfortunately our Venue Coordinator (Taylor) assigned to us was not very attentive to detail. I had to run our rehearsal because she kept providing incorrect information to our parents and bridal party, including the order of the bridal party for the processional despite having it on paper in front of her. She was late and MIA almost the entire day of the wedding. Our wedding did not have a lot of moving parts for her to keep track of so it was astonishing that basic things (like steamers in the getting ready suites) was something she couldn't provide for us despite requesting it in advance. She also kept communicating wrong information to our family and bridal party as well as not setting up everything per our diagrams and documents with the venue. In addition, we still have not received our security deposit back and it has been almost 2 months since our event. (We do have confirmation we were to expect the deposit back/ there were no incidentals from our event). Our coordinator no longer works with Mavris which is great for future weddings, but make sure you have someone ready to advocate for your wants on the day-of to remove a LOT of stress from your day and provide a more seamless experience than what we encountered.
It was such an incredible experience to work with Alexa and the Mavris team on the day of my wedding. From the food to the details. I wouldn't change a thing!
We LOVED the Mavris! They had a change in staff during our planning process and the transition was so smooth. We did it in the Speakeasy basement room, which was perfect for our un...
der 100 guest list. Taylor was great to work with and we are so thrilled with how everything turned out! Many compliments on the space and food.
The Mavris is an absolutely gorgeous venue! The exposed brick, woodwork, ample space, and phenomenal layout make it perfect for a wedding or most any large function. They have a ...
lot of small touches (getting ready rooms, photos in the elevator, outdoor staircase) that add up to a wonderful space. The in-house catering team is also absolutely incredible! We got so many compliments from our wedding guests on the food both at cocktail hour and for the plated dinners!
One downside right now, however, is that the venue seems to be going through a period of turnover in event planning with a lot of new team members. In our 18 months between booking and the wedding, we worked with 3 different team members - each of whom would tell us slightly different, conflicting things about what the venue could and couldn't do; we even had to do our big 3 hour planning meeting twice because of this. Even once we got to our final person to work with, every updated BEO statement that was put together was slightly off and had to be corrected and compared to the pricing in our original signed contract. Also - I had a friend who understood our vision work alongside the day-of coordinator to help set-up. While this is not something Mavris requires, it is something I highly recommend as she was able to advocate for us and fix things the day-of coordinator didn't have correct.
Overall, Mavris is absolutely a 5 out of 5 venue and I have absolutely no regrets about having our wedding there. It was the perfect day in an incredible space. That being said, just make sure you're advocating for yourself and have someone in place to advocate for you on the day of the wedding!
We had our wedding at Mavris 10/22/22 and it was an absolute DREAM. The place is absolutely stunning. We had Claire as our planner and she was SO HELPFUL, answering all my non-stop...
emails all the way up to the day of the wedding and she made the day-of go so smoothly. We got constant comments about how AMAZING the food was - many said the best food they’ve had at a wedding ever. We have absolutely no regrets about picking the Mavris for our wedding, we would do it over and over. It was the best day ever thanks to the beautiful event center itself and all the amazing workers.

Mavris did a wonderful job for our wedding venue!
Olivia, Maddie, and Claire were wonderful and helpful in the planning process. Mavris has a helpful guide of which vendors they h...
ave worked with in the past, which was helpful for finding the right person for the job. Their decorum during the day was also impeccable, we truly felt taken care of which gave us the ability to relax.
We were worried at first that the venue only allows an in-house caterer for the plated meal, but this worry soon faded when we tried the food from Mavris. Mavris also allowed us to use an outside caterer for the cake and additional desserts, a great accommodation that really solidified our choice.
Good atmosphere, amazing food, and helpful and knowledgeable staff!!

We had more than the average amount of dietary restrictions also, and the catering team was able to work around a lot of this to help us feed everyone! I couldn't rave about them enough!

Our coordinator Oliva is amazing to work with she just knows how to make a bride feel great. And knows what she’s doing Keep up the great work Oliva.

I'm not even sure where to begin on this review. I'll start with Olivia and her talents being our coordinator. Meeting Olivia was the main reason we chose to host our wedding at Ma...
vris. Her personality was absolutely addictive. She was there to walk us through every step and made it such an memorable and more importantly easy experience.
Next the venue itself. The venue is stunning and everything you could need for a wedding experience. The bridal suite is perfect, the grooms suite is perfect, the venue itself is perfect. Having both indoor and outdoor options makes you feel comfortable that not matter what, your day will be perfect.
The host staff, the servers to security to just the operations staff around that day were incredible. Everyone was so friendly and helped with any issues we needed.
Lastly, the food. I could write a review on the food alone. We have approximately 20 people tell us it was the best wedding food they've ever had. Many being married couple who have had their own weddings. We can't thank Mavris enough for making this day everything we imagined, and we truly hope another pair of our friends get married there just so we can be there once more.

kind! From their staff to their food, I don't have a single bad thing to say. I received countless compliments on how the food was the best wedding food people have had. I even had a guest say they prefer the Mavris steak to a St. Elmo's filet. Olivia was our event coordinator and she made the planning process simple and made sure everything ran smoothly on the day of. You cannot go wrong by choosing the Mavris! Thank you to Olivia and all other Mavris staff who made our wedding a success!

die) was absolutely amazing throughout our entire planning experience. They were kind, thorough, and proactive. We were able to bring every last dream and detail to life. The service & food was spectacular and the space looked stunning. We would 10/10 recommend the Mavris to friends & family.
We had an incredible experience with The Mavris.

lly fun rhythm to the night that everyone enjoyed.
The food was a hit from the appetizers to the late night snack. There were a ton of good options and the chef worked with us to make sure we were able to serve exactly what we wanted.
I don't want to minimalize these and the many other reasons you should choose this place, but the brightest part about doing our wedding at the Mavris were their coordinators. Working with Olivia made every step of our wedding process easier. She was knowledgeable, kind, and fun. She had answers to questions we didn't even know to ask, made time for inquiring mothers and needy vendors, and made sure that we didn't have to think about anything on our big day.
At every turn, Olivia and the Mavris put an out-of-depth, scatter-brained couple at ease. Consider The Mavris.
I just cannot say enough good things about the Mavris! From the venue itself to the food and bar to the service and how smoothly everything ran the day of, we have heard nothing bu...

It was perfect and a huge part of that was due to Olivia and the rest of the incredible staff!!

s our wedding coordinator and we couldn't say more wonderful things about her. She made the whole process seamless and a joy! The entire staff at Mavris was wonderful to us. We also have to shout out the cheif and kitchen staff for preparing the best wedding food we've ever had! Thank you again to Mavris!
Working with the Mavris was such an easy process from the beginning. Our day of coordinator, Olivia, was so informative and answered all our questions, big and small. She was wonde...
rful in working with our different vendors, which helped keep my to do list to a minimum. She understood our vision and made our dream wedding reception come to life.
We asked the Mavris to recreate our favorite spicy margarita as our signature cocktail, and it was so delicious. They hit everything out of the park. If I were to do it all over again I would have no hesitations about working with Olivia and the Mavris team over and over again.
I will continue to recommend the Mavris until the end of time. We hosted our wedding in June 2021 and had booked our date two years in advance. We originally booked the venue after...
falling in love with it at a previous event and hearing how accommodating the staff was. They did not fail to disappoint.
Through all of the stress and changes of covid wedding planning, Maddie and the staff kept me well informed and helped with navigating adjustments as our date got closer. They were super accommodating with our food choices and even went out of their way to have our favorite local rum in stock to make our signature drink. I appreciated the way they organized their planning process and meetings where everything progressed in a timely manner that left me feeling less stressed as each day went by leading up to ur event. They were the most transparent venue with pricing and helped navigate costs and savings with some of the upgrades we wanted to apply.
Very few venues will help the week of your wedding the way The Mavris does. Maddie and the team coordinated all the micro details with my vendors, setup all of my decor for me, and coordinated/managed the timing of the entire day. The entire reason our day went as smoothly as it did can be attributed to the Mavris team. We had a HOT June day and the staff kept our guests cool, comfortable, and happy. Three months after, we are still receiving compliments on how beautiful the venue was, how delicious the food was, and how helpful the staff was. Choosing The Mavris was the best decision we made in our wedding planning and I could not recommend them enough to anyone considering hosting their big day here.
We had to postpone our wedding due to COVID, and I was amazed by how flexible and helpful the Mavris was. On the day. of our wedding, everything went incredibly smoothly. They are ...
a well oiled machine that knows exactly how to guide you through the day so that you don't feel any stress the day of the wedding. Definitely the best day of my life, and the Mavris was a huge part of making that happen!
Excellent from start to finish!
We had both our ceremony and reception at Mavris and it was absolutely incredible!! Not only is it such a beautiful venue, but the staff is amazing to work with. Our planner was Ma...
ddie, and she went above and beyond throughout the whole planning process. Our wedding day was perfect and so stress-free thanks to all the wonderful staff.
I also loved the fact that they handle all rentals and food for you so all you have to do is make some decisions. It definitely takes a few calls and headaches off your plate by not having to find rental companies or a caterer!
We cannot recommend this venue enough!!!
Our wedding day was in early May 2021 and I can't compliment Mavris enough. The venue is beautiful and unique, the staff is receptive and friendly, the food is delicious (big plus)...
, and the planning leading up to the wedding date is very thorough. We had booked this venue before the pandemic, and although we did not have to move our wedding date, our wedding coordinator Maddie helped us feel at ease. Our wedding day went smoothly and we were genuinely able to relax and enjoy ourselves since we knew we were in great hands. Not to mention the space is STUNNING. We were able to have our ceremony and cocktail hour outdoors on the rooftop overlooking the city and our reception indoors in the main hall. I can't thank the Mavris staff enough, and a special thank you to the best wedding coordinator ever, Maddie!!
Can't count the number of compliments received about our amazing wedding venue. Our coordinator, Megan, truly made the experience seamless, fun, and memorable for us, our wedding ...
party, and our guests. We could choose Mavris again and again and highly recommend to anyone! Thank you Megan!
In all honestly, Mavris deserves 100/100 star review. Hands down the best decision I made regarding my wedding. Planning a wedding during a pandemic was no easy feat. But the staff...
at Mavris made it so flawlessly easy, and executed everything so perfectly. And I truly can't say enough good things about Maddie, our coordinator! She was an absolute Rockstar and made being a Bride so enjoyable! If you're thinking about booking an event at Mavris, there is no doubt Mavris and their staff can make you event an absolute dream.

I have nothing but good things to say about Mavris! This venue is absolutely beautiful, the staff is amazing (shoutout to Olivia for being the best coordinator), and the food is d...
elicious! I could not be any happier for choosing Mavris as our wedding venue. From the beginning, the whole planning process went so smooth and Olivia was always available for any questions I had. The day of the wedding, everything went as planned - it was all so organized and I didn't have to stress about anything! I also wanted to give Mavris a great review because they were so willing to work with us during this pandemic. They kept us up to date with any changes that needed to be made and followed all guidelines to ensure everyone was safe during the event. I can't say thank you enough for the most amazing and perfect day ever!

her planner was pregnant and decided to take a step back from work. Megan stepped in like she had been working on our wedding for the last year! She was absolutely amazing. The other support staff were fabulous as well. Mavris worked with us as we obviously had less attendees than we initially had planned and they were extremely gracious with allowing our numbers to decrease more than our contract had dictated previously (signed prior to COVID). And, not to mention, on the day of the wedding this venue was more than Jeff Brentin and I could have ever imagined. It was absolutely gorgeous, the ceremony went perfectly, the food was AMAZING, and everyone had a BLAST. I cannot thank you guys enough, I highly recommend this venue!
I can’t recommend the Mavris enough! Our guests had an amazing time at our wedding and so many people complimented their team. They are all incredibly professional and hospitable. ...
We worked with Olivia for about a year and we were constantly impressed. She is so good at her job and has a wonderful personality! On our wedding day, she made sure that everything went off without a hitch, so we could truly enjoy the day and spend time with our guests.
We booked the venue before COVID-19 and then had to make many adjustments, but their team was flexible and accommodating as much as possible. The space is beautiful and is perfect for social distancing. Everyone enjoyed the night safely and no one got sick from our wedding. We also lost our DJ due to COVID, but were able to use the venue’s sound system and microphones for music and toasts. They honored my requests to use different sizes of tables for the reception to seat guests only with their household and space out everything. Their food service is well thought out. Dinner plates are served with covers, condiments are in individual servings for each guest, and all employees wear masks and change gloves frequently. The food is also amazing and the chef even makes his own gluten-free bread. That is unheard of!
You should feel confident booking your event at Mavris. You will be in good hands and love the experience!
My daughter went through Mavris for her wedding and reception in August 2020. This date was a reschedule from her original date in April 2020 due to COVID-19. Of course there we...
re major headaches with planning around the virus but we overall did feel that Mavris was good to help us through the stress. Since the original date was not allowed to happen as the 10 person limit on all weddings at this time. They were easy to reschedule our date from the original date without penalty. Unfortunately, as her August date approached the COVID counts started to increase. They were treated like a restaurant with 50 % of capacity or 150 people. We were not comfortable with having a large group and many of our guests had backed out as the date approached. We discussed having a smaller group for safety. We were already down on the number of guests that would come and decided to reduce to 62 people. We wanted to limit the number of people and just have close family or friends there. We also wanted more small tables so only families were seated together. They were willing to adjust the guest numbers without trouble and gave us a discount for the reduced numbers. I felt that they were very fair with our family. I also felt that our coordinator, Maddie, was great to work with us and made the day of the wedding run smoothly. The wedding was everything my daughter wanted and can't say enough about how well everything went on the day of the wedding. The wedding and reception set up was just what we wanted. The food was the best I have ever had at a wedding and got lots of compliments from guests. We loved the convenience that everything was in the same place and no outside catering was required. Much less stress. Our only bump in the road was about 2 weeks before the wedding the owners of the facility wanted us to personally sign a liability statement that we were not comfortable with doing. We ultimately agreed to sign the standard liability waiver signed at the door with all our guests and we were fine with that. If this had not occurred they would have 5+ stars. Obvious these are extraordinary circumstances with COVID and it complicated a wedding more than usual. I would definitely recommend them in the future. We were very happy with the wedding outcome, the quality of the facility and our wedding coordinator. My daughter and her husband had the wedding of their dreams!
I am SO SO HAPPY that we chose the Mavris for our wedding! Not only is the venue STUNNING- the staff was incredible to work with through a pandemic. Wedding planning is stressful e...
nough so adding in social distancing rules, regulations regarding masks, and other sanitation protocol was stressful but the Mavris made it easy!!! The space is big enough to accommodate a decent size group while still following social distant guidelines and Maddie had a plan a,b, and c in place for the party portion of the reception that would allow us and our guests to have fun while still being safe!!
Also- their food is THE BEST! All of my guests commented on how wonderful the food was- even the kids raved about the chicken tenders!
Mavris Arts & Event Center was the most perfect venue for our wedding day! From the moment we walked into the space, we knew we had to have our wedding here. Everything from the ve...

Best wedding venue you can get! The Mavris team was a dream to work with and made our day so magical. Can't recommend this venue enough!
Most people say that wedding planning is stressful, I'm here to say that with the help of Maddie and the Mavris, I never got stressed throughout the entire process and I was able t...
o enjoy the weekend from beginning to end.
The venue is easily the first decision, the most expensive, and the most impact decision you make for your wedding or event. After narrowing it down to two venues we picked the Mavris. I was not 100% sure on it because they were the more expensive option. However, after having our wedding there I can say without a doubt that it was absolutely the right choice. Maddie, our day of coordinator and planner, guided us through everything, every detail we didn't even think of. With a steady hand she made sure the day of went off without a hitch. We walked in the day before expecting to have to do a lot of work to prep the space, Maddie cast all that aside, asked us what we wanted and handled it on her own with her team. She insisted we did not lift a finger except to relax at the hotel with a drink in hand. After the wedding they took the time to breakdown all of our decorations and prepare them for us to pick up the next day. I cannot tell you how huge this was! On top of that, I have a very restricted diet, gluten free and dairy free, and the chef was amazingly accommodating. There was nothing we asked for that they came close to saying no to. I cannot reccomend them enough. Thanks Maddie and the Mavris for making the event perfect!

eremony and reception and were flexible and accommodating when we had to change due to rain, unexpected issues, etc.
I thought that things could have run more smoothly and was frustrated that things that were planned, typed out, and clearly communicated were not carried through. My guest book was put out at the wrong time even though it was instructed to be with the photo booth only, messing up a few of the pages. Four tables were supposed to be reserved for my family but were taken by miscellaneous guests and the planner did not want to tell them to move even though she should have.
Overall, the ceremony and reception were beautiful and the food was great. Any small details that went wrong were overshadowed by the big things that went well.
