The Madison Event Center offers a variety of high quality venues for your ceremony and reception. The staff there is extremely helpful and makes sure your event runs smoothly. They do great tastings of the food that they make in house (which was fantastic). This venue is also very close to a major airport which is great for guests out of town and is reasonably priced.

I dont even know where to start with how amazing the Madison was. This was the best decision I have ever made besides marrying my husband😂. 1000/10 highly recommend for your wedding venue. Booking the venue with Zoe, working with Cheyenne/ setting up with Dylan and the Captain on the wedding day was absolutely AMAZING. The food was great- venue was awesome, absolutely perfect. I could go on and on. Everyone was so incredible to work with and I am so grateful for this was my venue.

Oh. My. Goodness. Not one complaint. The Madison was an amazing experience from the day we said yes to them, all the way even past the wedding day. For some people, it may seem pricey - BUT there is SO MUCH included! Appetizers, Dinner, Desserts, Cake, Table linens, napkins, centerpieces, and more! Of course, my favorite part was just being able to have all of that in one spot and working through one person. Makes life so easy. We started working with Ashley, who helped us understand everything we needed to for the big day. We were then turned over to Reilly Clark, who truly made this a one in a lifetime experience. My entire family is sad this day is over because of how awesome everyone was at the Madison. The responses were quick, all questions were answered, all request were made, and everyone felt like priority - especially the Bride (me) and Groom. My parents even thought about renewing their vows just to have another party there! Thank you to the Madison for contributing to the day we will remember forever.

Our wedding day was perfect!! In no small part because of Janet C, our event captain. She checked in with us several times through the morning in the bridal suite, walked blocks to my (now) husband’s car with him to help move parking barriers due to the “great bridal chase” run happening so he could park in the 8th Street lot, the sound system was stuck on Sirius Radio and she worked to fix it so we could connect our device playlist, our photo booth printer wouldn’t recognize The Madison Wi-Fi so she spent well over 30 minutes helping us troubleshoot it and finally got it connected and working.
Our guests had a wonderful time and Jason and I couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out. The room was decorated exactly how we imagined, the food and drinks were delicious, and the staff were so kind and gracious. The Madison sells itself as being as an all-inclusive venue and that is 100% what you delivered!! From decor and linens, food and bar options, choices of ballrooms, ceremony spaces and bridal suites, and your impeccable service, The Madison was absolutely the “the complete package” for us! Thank you again for all your help in making our wedding perfect for us!

We loved The Madison for our wedding day. Starting with Nicole giving us the tours, Zoe being our point of contact leading up to the day and Andrew our event coordinator at the reception. They made the evening run so smoothly and I could not thank them enough for it! We received so many compliments on the food and the flow of our evening. They provide many amenities for your wedding day to make it less stressful. Will recommend them to everyone!

We are SO glad that we hosted our ceremony and reception at The Madison! Our ceremony was in The Terrace and our reception was in The Emerald Ballroom. What we loved the most about working with The Madison is how much stress they took off of the wedding planning process!
We worked with Zoe to plan the details leading up to our wedding, and she was so helpful throughout the entire process! She helped us sign up for the Taste and Toast where we got to select items for our menu, she answered all of my questions via email, and she helped us at our details appointment confirm all that we had planned and think of new items that we needed to plan before the big day!
When the wedding finally rolled around, it was so incredible to sit back and let their team take care of most of the work! We were able to select items from their linens and decor and then add on our own decor to personalize the environment. We didn't even have to set foot in the reception space until we were walking in for our entrance since they set up the entire room for us!
Finally, Patty was our weekend coordinator, and she was absolutely amazing! She walked us through the rehearsal, and she was there every step of the way on the wedding day! Her team kept us fed and got us drinks throughout the night, and it made all the difference towards the day being much more relaxed than we imagined!

For our rehearsal dinner, my wife and I originally had another venue planned which full through due to COVID-19. She originally wanted to consider Hotel Covington for the wedding, so we thought we'd look into it for a new rehearsal venue, and we were very thankful we did! Ashley and Zoe both were wonderful to deal with, and communicated very clearly with my wife and I (while we were living on a separate time zone in San Diego, CA, no less!), and day of we didn't worry about the staff or venue at all. We would happily recommend the Madison Event Center for any and all future clients!
