I am a planner with Clementine Custom Events and I absolutely LOVE working at RPM Events. During the planning process the communication with the sales manager is fantastic. They are extremely quick to respond and make any updates needed. They are flexible to schedule your final site walkthrough. On the day of the event, the staff goes above and beyond to ensure your day is perfect. From a planner's stand point, they are on top of everything and the staff is professional, helpful and they are TEAM players! Dinner service is smooth and efficient and they really stick to the timeline. The event space is spotless and just stunning and chic. The food is excellent (especially their dessert cart). If you are looking for an event space I would HIGHLY recommend RPM Events!!!!!

Can't say enough good things about the RPM Events team. Decided to host our wedding with them, and in 3 short months they pulled off & coordinated an absolutely gorgeous wedding, the one of our dreams. Incredibly turnkey, we were able to simple share our vision with them and they brought it to life with no hassle and a ton of class. Dagne, our venue coordinator, was a dream; she answered all of our questions in a timely manner, helped keep us on track, and had amazing attention to detail. Would HIGHLY recommend RPM Events.

The team at RPM, specifically Emily, was great throughout the entire planning process and execution on the wedding day. All emails/questions in the ~11 month process were answered promptly and Emily really helped coach us throughout the entire planning process. The food was absolutely amazing (as expected) and the service was absolutely impeccable. The team at RPM really went above and beyond to make the entire day seamless.
