We were married at SELU on 04/28/2018. We are so appreciative for all of the staff - every single one of them - that had a hand in our wedding.
The Student Union crew of guys did...
a fabulous job Friday getting the ballroom cleaned up from the night before. They were friendly, laughing, and VERY accommodating. Eric (and his team) made sure every little detail was taken care of and that Taylor knew the light settings. He was very through even to the point of making sure the B projected onto the wall was the perfect size. We were quite impressed.
Cris' team also had to overcome the obstacle of cleanup from the night before. Amy did a great job removing old linens and making sure the new linens were fresh and in place. My nieces loved following behind her to decorate the tables. Let's talk about the food for a second. One word - AMAZING! Everything was delicious, even our to-go plate that was so thoughtfully packed for us. I can't tell you how many social media comments and text messages we have received about the fajita bar! It was a success for sure. Huge kudos!
Cally, was phenomenal in preparation leading up to Friday and Saturday. I know I had a million and one questions. It can get annoying - I get it. I feel like because we handle so much in advance everything went so smoothly. We had a plan in place and it was executed flawlessly (at least from outward appearances). I had a boss tell me once that great teams are like ducks. Under the surface their feet are moving 90 mph making forward progress, but on the surface they are cool and calm. Thank you to everyone for being temporary ducks.
Lastly, our day-of-event help Taylor, was amazing. Taylor was were on top of EVERYTHING! I swear I tried not to be a bridezilla and having her there as a resource really helped. She was very attentive. She kept the program on schedule and drinks in our hand all night. We really felt taken care of. Both Hexter and I were speechless when she brought us our plates of food. Totally unexpected but very appreciated. I was actually able to eat half of a fajita before the first guest came over to us. Not only was she the embodiment of professionalism all night but she kept a smile on her face.
Again, it is with our deepest gratitude and appreciation that we say thank you! Thank you for making our wedding day the best it could possibly be.

during our planning and our "big day". They have a budget to fit any style and a space that can easily be converted into your dream reception. I highly recommend anyone to check out their services to see what they can offer you - you will not be disappointed!
SLU’s Ballroom was amazing! It was a blank slate that allowed us to create whatever atmosphere we wanted. Cally and Cris were so helpful throughout the entire process! The food cho...
ices blew our minds with every dish- their chef completely outdid himself! Their ideas and suggestions to layout and decorations really helped the flow of the evening and our guests had a great time! From their pre-planning help, to the day of coordinating with their staff, to the last minute addition of the kids food bar- the SLU ballroom truly made all of our dreams come true!!!

nderful from the first consultation and tasting all the way to the incredible basket of food they sent home for the bride and groom! They were willing to go above and beyond to help incorporate special personal touches, offered great ideas for the arrangement of the room, and were quick to respond to any questions big or small all the way up to the big day! The venue itself is handicapped friendly for grandparents and elderly guests, the spacious room fit 200 guests comfortably with a large dance floor, and an added bonus was the surrounding campus which is covered in gorgeous trees perfect for pictures! I truly can't say enough about this venue or the amazing staff!
