We had the absolute BEST experience! I highly recommend you consider this space, especially if you want everything on site (reception space, restaurant/bar after party, and hotel). When we initially met with Christine, director of events, she was so warm, welcoming, promised us a great experience but wow did they deliver! Having someone so detail oriented was so helpful, and they really followed trough on their promise. The Aster staff was amazing. Our wedding weekend would not have been as amazing without the following; Veronica (catering) so attentive to us and the timeline we created, checked in with us during the reception. We will never know what hiccups Christine and Veronica ran into or how much work went into it behind the scenes, and I think that speaks volumes to the Aster staff. The day was perfect. Jenny (hotel block) and staff at front desk - every interaction was a pleasant experience and we really felt taken care of. Chef - food was so good, large portions, came out hot, and delicious The cake is included in the package, it was SO good. When we toured the space, it looked like a plain event space. But with the combo of what the Aster supplied and what we brought in (votives, flowers, signs), and rented gold chiavari chairs, it transformed the entire room and elevated the space into an elegant ballroom.

We feel so fortunate to have had our daughter’s wedding here a few days ago. (4/29) The ballroom and cocktail area were beautiful. Our 200 guests raved about the food and the cocktails. There was no detail too small that wasn’t taken care of. Even the wedding cake was lovely and delicious! Every member of the staff is so well trained. But leading it all was Christine, the most amazing event planner we have had the pleasure and of working with. She was everywhere all at once, attending to every aspect of the reception. Many of our guest reserved rooms and commented on how comfortable and well appointed they were. Breakfast the next morning was as delicious as the food at the reception. We wish we could do it all again!

Christine was super accommodating, professional, responsive and has great attention to detail. She took us out to a light lunch during our consultation process because the venue wa...

s still under construction when we were looking for a place to hold our wedding. We took a chance with how warm and welcoming she was and we were very happy with our choice. She remained consistent throughout our year-long engagement with any communication and detail planning that was needed. The only reason for 4 stars was due to a minor breakdown in communication the day prior to our wedding. We decided to hold the ceremony at the venue so we could have convenience of all events at one location. When we were attempting to set up the rehearsal for the ceremony to plan and prepare with our officiant, there was an event planned for that same night, so access to the specific area in the event center where we would be holding our ceremony was limited and we were unable to hold a structured rehearsal. Full transparency: I was a few minutes late, so I am unsure if this may have contributed to this set-back. However, I would still recommend having your event here. Not only was Christine amazing, but the staff were nice, fun and super friendly. Anything mentioned to them for correction was fixed immediately. We truly had the best wedding day and we were so thankful for being able to celebrate at the Aster Event Center.

dn’t have to keep going back and forth. She knew what she was doing. The next day, I saw the chef and he mentioned that a few people went to find him to compliment his food. Everyone was satisfied and pleased with the service. Very friendly staff and very helpful. I felt like a Princess, because they decorated every thing so magically great! I will definitely refer. I am a very picky person and I have no complaint. I will be planning my daughters sweet 16 in 2 years with them. Thank you Aster family!
