I would 100% recommend NKU as a wedding venue (or any other event). The staff were so helpful, friendly, and accommodating. We checked out so many venus but they met our needs pe...rfectly.
Not only did we have BOTH our wedding ceremony and reception at the NKU student union ballroom, but we also had NKU’s wonderful caterer and serving staff provide the food, as well as the wedding cake!
The venue itself was perfect. With the ceremony on one side of the ballroom, our guests easily went from the ceremony, to a cocktail hour spot, to the reception. They gave us access to rooms to wait in and lock the wedding party’s possessions in, and cooperated with us for all rehearsal.
Also, we had the kenton garage open for our guests which was so wonderfully convenient and was the final selling point (another venue we were considering insisted that everyone our age gets a Lyft anyway so it didn’t matter they only had four spots-but I have a large family, with lots of “Boomer” aunts/uncles that I would rather they just had a parking spot).
They answered our questions easily and quickly, especially when I last-minute added a bunch of guests and they assured me they could flip the room for us if necessary. They worked VERY well with our other vendors and our wedding planner.
Catering: We had specific requests, due to vegetarians in the family, and having unique requests for the hors d'oeuvres and the flavors for the different layers of the cake. We also requested a specific wine they got just for us (the bride and groom). They did it all and were so happy to do so. We received so many compliments about the food and the staff who were so pleasant and efficient. The cake also, was delicious and we received lots of positive feedback for that as well.
Also, people were really impressed with the drinks!
My family and friends were surprised because they didn’t know this venue existed and they loved it so much!
Definitely would recommend and I’m so happy we chose them, and not just for ceremony and reception, but also catering, bartending, and cake.
Thanks so much!
