Working with The Evergreen was a wonderful experience! The venue is HUGE and their team knows their stuff!
For me, communication is a big aspect of booking all my vendors and The ...Evergreen knocked it out the park. I was emailing them frequently during the first few days of booking them with tons of questions and Shannon, our point of contact for the venue, was quick to respond with loads of information. Even after our viewing, she was emailing me to thank us for coming and to encourage us to ask her anything we weren't sure on.
One of the biggest selling points for us for this venue was that they provided tables and chairs and they had a large guest capacity. Our original guest list was 160 and they were going to be able to accommodate it! (Our final count was only 110)
The space is beautiful - industrial elements and modern touches, it really romanticized the large space. There is a mezzanine (great for cocktail hour, bouquet tosses and photos) and a bridal suite that is perfect for signing paperwork and getting dressed in before the first look. The bathrooms are large and they have great selfie mirrors. On the windows there are some plants that really soften the space and the go with absolutely any kind of floral decor. One of my favorite things about the space is the staircase leading up to the mezzanine. I chose to walk down it for the ceremony and it was so romantic, everyone gets a good view of the dress!
One thing I would consider is that The Evergreen does have a list of approved caterers so if you're on a specific budget or have a catering company picked already, you may want to review that list before booking to see if any of them are in budget or will meet your needs. Although we absolutely loved who our caterer was (Cheryl's on 12th), we know we could have saved a little cash had we been able to pick a different caterer that wasn't on their list.
The Evergreen makes having a bar easy - they have a partnership with the bar below them called Loyal Legion and you can use that space for cocktail hour. We chose to have our bar served from The Evergreen themselves so I can't speak to any experience with Loyal Legion involvement but I still think it's a cool option.
Overall our experience was incredible! A large venue, an attentive and communicative staff, amazing accommodations and amenities, and everything/everyone came together to give us the special day we'd been dreaming of!
