Our wedding at The Crawford was nothing short of spectacular, thanks in large part to the incredible venue and the exceptional team, especially Anna & OIiver! From the moment we toured the space, we knew it was the perfect place for our special day. The venue itself is stunning, with beautiful architecture, elegant decor, and a warm, inviting atmosphere that set the stage for a magical celebration. We actually ended up switching venues mid-planning because the Oliver and his team went above and beyond with their hospitality at The Crawford during that initial tour and meeting. They even went as far as to help us get a discount for our guests at Hotel Indigo and provide them all with welcome bags on our behalf.
The venue manager, Anna, was an absolute gem to work with. She was incredibly accommodating, going above and beyond to ensure that every detail was taken care of and that our vision was brought to life. She was always available to answer questions, offer suggestions, and provide guidance throughout the planning process, which made everything run so smoothly.
On the day of our wedding, Anna and her team were like a well-oiled machine. They worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that everything was set up perfectly, from the ceremony space to the reception area. They coordinated with all of our vendors seamlessly, ensuring that everything was on schedule and that every aspect of the day flowed flawlessly.
One of the things that impressed us the most was the attention to detail. Anna made sure that every little detail was taken care of, from ensuring that the lighting was just right to making sure that our guests were comfortable and had everything they needed. It was clear that she and her team truly cared about making our day special, and their dedication and professionalism were evident in every aspect of their work.
Throughout the day, Anna was a calming presence. She checked in with us regularly, making sure that we were happy with how things were going and addressing any last-minute concerns. It was such a relief to know that we could trust her and her team to handle everything, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment of our wedding day.
I cannot recommend The Crawford and its amazing team enough. If you're looking for a beautiful venue with exceptional service, look no further. They truly are the reason why our wedding was absolutely flawless, and I would not hesitate to host future events at The Crawford. Thank you for making our wedding day a dream come true!!
Although we ultimately didn’t end up choosing The Crawford as our wedding venue, our experience with the staff and the beauty of the space compelled us to share a review. First of all, the space is ABSOLUTELY stunning. It gave both my fiancé and I big feelings! The high ceilings, the natural light (and the ceiling lights), the tall windows… everything is pristine and just as pictured. We loved that they offer the use of the entire venue and that each room has a specific character and creates a seamless flow from one to the next. The venue also has pretty unique features like their adjustable lights, their brand new bar, the pool table…
Additionally, their staff offers customization of the use of the space and furniture to really tailor it all to your vision. Finally, Oliver the venue manager, was patient, kind, and responsive all throughout our decision making process. This is a gorgeous venue that offers a timeless, elevated, and chic atmosphere!
