The Community House in Birmingham

Birmingham and Shain Park across the street made for the perfect backdrop. Our cocktail hour was also outside in the garden area which was beautifully set up. Our reception was inside the main ballroom and it could not have been more perfect. Everything from the chandeliers to the attached garden area with the waterfall and twinkle lights were so charming and romantic. Sarah Tufts, our event planner, made everything so effortless. She was a pleasure to work with, very hands-on, was always quick to respond to our questions and made sure everything went as planned. I know she was always very busy planning weddings literally every weekend of the year, but she always made us feel like ours was her priority. The entire staff was very pleasant, even some of our guests commented afterwards how wonderful everyone was. And the food was delicious. The Community House made our dream wedding come true!

t. We loved having the cocktail hour in the tent and having the two small outdoor spaces available to us throughout the reception so guests could have the option of dancing their hearts out on the dance floor or cooling off and visiting outside. They also were great about accommodating several of our ethnic traditions. The food was DELICIOUS. I even had time to eat it if I wanted, I was just too excited and overwhelmed to be hungry. The bites I had were great and many guests have noted how good their meals were. Overall, 10/10 would recommend to a friend.

d, warm, top-notch professional and made the entire process really enjoyable. There is no need to have a wedding planner - she is on top of everything and makes sure she is in touch with all of the vendors. We had the best experience and would chose this venue again in a heartbeat!

perfectly. Everything about our wedding day was a fairytale come true! The staff at the venue were so kind and professional, the food was delicious and gourmet, and the venue itself is so intimate. On the day of our wedding, Sarah made sure that things ran seamlessly and worked so well with all of our vendors to make sure the day was perfect. Absolutely NOTHING went wrong and I can accredit a lot of this to The Community House. I highly recommend them for any event!

find this place?" and "This is the best wedding I've been to in years". Tim Hunt was my coordinator and I would recommend working with him in a heartbeat. I could not be more thankful of everything that he did to make our wedding absolutely perfect.

room. Tim helped make the space look full and welcoming for our guest list of 50. When our phones glitched and the ceremony music was not accessible, Tim used his phone to find the music and control it for the ceremony. Additionally - when I was nervous about getting the flowers set up (thinking I would need to do that myself) Tim had already had them placed. He is literally to die for - a true blessing for us. The food was AMAZING. Not a single complaint. We had salmon, chicken, and beef served. Instead of ordering a cake we opted to have The Community House cater cheesecake - a total hit! The service was very good - no nasty plates lingering around. The bar staff was wonderful too - especially for accommodating the children.

recommend THC!

hing went as planned, Sarah and her team went above and beyond. Every single member of staff was attentive and friendly. The food was out of this world - amazing - compliments to the chef. If your looking for a wedding venue, you've found it! Community House, we will be forever grateful, you guys are awesome!

space really lends itself to pretty decorations.

state we were looking for a place that was all in one for our wedding day. We had our ceremony outside in The Community House tent followed by the perfect reception indoors. The food was amazing and all of the staff were so kind and attentive. We have zero complaints! Thank you to all for making it the perfect day!

pricing will be super expensive. They are competitive with other venues and the value is amazing! Sarah was very helpful and accommodating. I didn't stress out at all. Everyone said the food and service was fantastic. We had our ceremony in one of the ballrooms and our reception was outside on the tented terrace. He chose the seated dinner option and had a live band. I have had 3 different guests that have no connection to one another use the words "A CLASSIC". When they have described it. I feel proud of the wedding that Sarah and I put together. Everybody had a blast and so did I.

he room and building was enough. The staff was always quick to respond and very helpful. Our wedding coordinator left the company during my planning process and Tim the Event Director stepped in and helped make the transition smooth. I was never worried about my wedding at all because of them. The food was delicious and it was the perfect atmosphere for our wedding. I will always recommend The Community House to anyone I come in contact with. Everyone that attended the wedding kept complimenting me on my choice of venue and they couldn't believe how nice it was. Choose The Community House and you won't regret it.

nd quick to respond. I have always loved the Community House & knew years ago that I wanted to have my wedding there. I would highly recommend them for any of your needs. They were wonderful to work with!

l, and really made this experience amazing. The food was amazing, the venue for the ceremony and reception was incredible... all around just a fantastic experience! And so affordable for such a great location in Downtown Birmingham! If you want the best, go to TCH!

they ensured that my meal was strictly gluten free, as I have Celiac Disease, and they even prepared special gluten free hors d'oeuvres for me. Tim and the serving staff, including Leon, were also exceptional. Thank you for such a magical evening all of us will never forget.

efinitely recommend The Community House.

c venue with indoor and outdoor spots this is the place to be. The food was delicious and I received so many compliments about it. (we did the buffet) Sarah Tufts was our coordinator and she was the best. She made sure everything went smoothly and answered all my e-mails so nicely leading up until the day of the big day. Even though you may not be able to set up 3 hours prior to your event she went out of her way to allow us to drop things off before hand any way and was so accommodating to helping us make the day go easier without any troubles. She also help me set up all of my decorations. I love that TCH works with LUXE linen, and we got a fee waived for a minimum because of it. I cannot say enough great things about this location and I am so thankful I found such a beautiful, vintage location to hold my reception. THANK YOU SO MUCH. Dana

om has lots of charm. We did plated meals, made by the Community house which were very good, guests loved the salmon. Service was A++, the waitstaff was on top of everything, professional and friendly. Our bartenders were also professional and personable. We were very pleased with our experience and I recommend this venue.

vice and the hot temps and taste of the surf and turf dinner! Just fabulous. The tent outside was so perfect for our cocktail hour and just loved it to have the best of both worlds...tent and ballroom! The ballroom was just rennovated and was SO gorgeous. I hung white twinkle lights outside on the patio trees where the koai pond is and it was so amazing. Perfect quaint beautiful venue!!

The Community House does not have on-site food, but works with 2 - 3 local caterers. Everything with coordination between both was seamless. We got a bar package and the bartenders (who were Community House staff, not the caterer) were friendly, quick, and poured a great drink. The venue just went through some redecoration, and the ballroom is just beautiful. My guests kept commenting about how lovely it all was.

pful throughout the planning, and jumped to action during the actual event when some red wine landed where it shouldn't-my dress!

aff was awesome, and our wedding experience was perfect from the planning to the day of! When we began looking for a reception we knew we wanted to get married in Birmingham, or very close by. We wanted a venue that would be beautiful, had an outdoor space, be walking distance from hotels for our out of town guests, and would not break our budget. We chose the Community House because Sarah, who was our contact and onsite coordinator, was no pressure, very kind and helpful, and overall fabulous to work with! We also really liked the charm and uniqueness of the space, and that there was both an outdoor and indoor spaces. In fact, we got a lot of space at the here compared to the other ballroom venues we were looking at. Plus, we were the only event, which was another aspect of the Community House we liked. Planning for the wedding Sarah listened and helped us with every crazy idea I had, helped us with the details, and even entertained the phone calls and emails from our parents. She was awesome, I don't have enough good things to say about working with her and the rest of the staff at the Community House! Before our event there was a catering change at the Community House. Previously they had only in-house catering with a pretty standard menu. By our wedding they had implemented a 'Preferred Vendor' system that allowed us to chose from three caterers for our wedding. My husband and I had two food tastings, one from the Community House's in-house catering and another after they set up the preferred vendor system (we chose Lakeland). We were so happy they opened up to outside caterers! It was a huge improvement. The in-house food was mediocre, but the preferred caterers are all excellent and we had so many more choices! Being a vegetarian this meant I had so many more choices and the cater we picked worked with us to create a cohesive menu that blended our different tastes and preference. In the end were very, very happy with the food! Lastly I have to compliment our 'Captain' Tim. The day of the wedding Sarah, our on-site coordinator, was there to help our other vendor and set up. Tim took over after that, making sure everything ran as it should. We hadn't met him until that night, but he did a great job! Everything was set-up as it was suppose to be (we were thrilled when we stepped in for our sneak peak of the ballroom!) And Tim took great care of us all night. Making sure I always had a drink if I wanted it and that our guest were happy. He met every accommodation and my husband, myself and our guests had A LOT of fun!

We agreed!
