This is such a perfect location! The venue is absolutely beautiful and the food is delicious! Dana, the coordinator, is amazing! She will make sure your day is the best day of your life! She is funny and really knows her stuff! The pricing for what you get in the packages is very reasonable!
Highly recommend! Dana was truly a rockstar. She came up with ideas that definitely helped us out and took al the stress away. She really cares so much about her brides and grooms.
The Public Landing is a beautiful, charming venue and we are so grateful to have had our wedding there. Between the outdoor nature and the charm inside, it was the perfect spot for our fall wedding. The food is delicious and the packages are affordable! The staff was absolutely wonderful and nice! But the reason we picked this venue and the reason we are so happy with how everything turned out is Dana, the event coordinator. From the very beginning she showed us how much she really cares about the couples and how she will do everything in her power to make the day special. She is super woman! I don't think I would've survived without her. She eased my mind, helped with decorations, gave us constant encouragement, and even bustled my dress! My husband and I will be eternally grateful for her!
We fell in love with the venue after seeing the upstairs loft. We had a Christmas Wonderland wedding right before Christmas 2019. The venue was decked out in Christmas decor and with our added trees and touches it was breathtaking! The food was absolutely amazing and everyone raved about how delicious everything was. You get a wedding coordinator for your entire day (Dana) and she is a godsend! She literally pulled off our crazy wedding and became part of our family.
We absolutely loved having our wedding reception at Public Landing. From the moment we saw it on our our first visit, we knew it would be the perfect place for us. The venue is beautiful, exuding rustic elegance. Dana, the event coordinator at Public Landing, was incredible. She was so funny and engaging, but also extremely professional and on top of things, always going the extra mile to make things perfect for us. She made our day go by as seamlessly as possible. Everyone loved the venue. The way everything was set us was great. The food was truly excellent; all our guests were raving about it, claiming it was the best wedding food they'd ever had (we had a plated meal and gave each guest a choice of chateaubriand or salmon). Our signature drink was excellent. The room looked beautiful, with fairy lights hanging from the rafters. Parking was a little bit of an inconvenience for some guests, but there were ample lots in the area and Dana had provided us parking maps, which we included in our invitations and on our website. By the end of the night, most of our guests were still hanging out and going strong. It was so wonderful. Truly the best night ever. We couldn't be happier with the way our wedding turned out at Public Landing.
Public Landing was the most wonderful place to get married! The outdoor area made for an amazing ceremony and pictures and the inside was perfect for our small reception. The event coordinator, Dana is incredible! She made everything easy and seamless and was fun all along the way! Couldn’t recommend them more!!
Having our wedding at Public Landing just makes me want to do it all over again! Good food was a high priority for us, and the restaurant definitely delivered. All my feedback I’ve had from guests so far mentions how much they enjoyed the dinner! Dana, the wedding coordinator, was amazing to work with and kept everything running smoothly and on-time the day of. My mom and I were so impressed! The venue is beautiful and has great character and history behind it, too. We also took advantage of the on-site bridal suite, which was a lifesaver! I cannot recommend Public Landing highly enough. I hope I get invited to a wedding there in the future! 😂
The venue was amazing. It was prefect for our rustic fall wedding. The food was great. Everyone raved about how awesome it was. The best thing about the venue was Dana, the venue coordinator. My makeup artist backed out the weekend before the wedding. I called her crying and she was able to find a replacement within 30 min. I cannot say enough great things about the place.
Great food, amazing cake, and wonderful staff.
Dana was available anytime even when I was going to have a meltdown no matter what time it was.
The most romantic gathering to celebrate our marriage with family and friends.
I decided to have an afternoon wedding reception and served my guests lunch. It was much cheaper. The food was absolutely great. I was allowed to set up the day before and everything went smoothly! I had 120 guests which were seated very comfortably.
One month before my wedding, the original banquet hostess relocated across the country and passed my info to the new employee. There were only a few miscommunications, but each time, it was worked out in a timely fashion.
Great people to work with and beautiful location.
I was really happy with my experience with this location. They were really flexible with everything. Even though their contract said I needed to give them a final head count 14 days in advance, there was no penalty for being several days late. They were also closed for Independence Day when I was supposed to pay for everything, so they allowed me to pay the on the morning of the wedding. They had changed their menu offerings between our original visit and the wedding, so we were able to combine both menus to create our ideal meal, and prices were kept at the original price.
The only downside is that the parking lot is small, so many of my guests weren't sure where to leave their cars.
