The Millennium Center

PERFECT venue to execute and host our wedding. Greg and his staff are truly amazing, supportive and deliver on everything they promise. During the final month leading up to our wedding day, we encountered a number of roadblocks, including postponement of our reception. However, Greg and his team have been amazing, not charging additional fees for our next reception date, and even went as far as to add additional amenities for us on our wedding day (e.g., sparkler exit, Greg driving his personal vehicle for us back to our hotel). Needless to say, Greg and his team made our wedding day dreams come true and we’re so thankful for all of the countless hours and work they contributed to making our day so special! We can’t wait for part 2 and we would highly recommend this venue for any special event!

the dedication they showed to the request we made to execute a perfect wedding/brunch reception. We will never forget the special time we spent with Gregory, John, Stephanie, Danielle, and the remaining staff members, at The Millennium Center during such a joyous time for our family.

ars. It was perfect. We had the ceremony in the garden room and the reception in the jazz lounge and it was perfect. Have a mentioned the food!!! Wow, my guest are still talking about how amazing the food was. Jerk chicken, beef tenderloin and all the trimmings for dinner then a burger bar for late night snacks. Amazing. My husband even busted his pants and I had just mentioned that to one of the bar tenders and didn’t think anything of it because he was just going to run back to the hotel and get his jeans but out of nowhere there was Greg with a pair a pants that fit perfect. Amazing. To have everything right there it was more then perfect. Stephanie was/is awesome they kept everything right on track even though I was an hour an a half late, completely all my fault 😂😊 amazing amazing amazing

the set up was gorgeous, and every single person who assisted along the way was helpful with attention to detail. Highly recommend this venue for any type of event, especially wedding related!

ut 10 days before the wedding, we were informed that Katelyn had left the Millennium Center, and the building owners, that Greg and his wife, were taking over our event. Naturally, I was a bit worried, but Greg quickly put my fears to rest and executed my wedding perfectly! He was incredibly responsive with all my requests and needs; when there were one or two hiccups, he had his whole team on them. He even served our dinner himself, which was phenomenal by the way. I could not have asked for a more perfect day.

eadache of having multiple vendors. I would for sure recommend the MC!

attentive and great to work with in the planning process and on the day of. All of our guests commented on how great the food was. It was such a relief that once we had signed on with the Millennium Center, all of the "little things" were taken care of, including the linens, tableware, bar, stage, lighting, etc. etc. etc. I cannot say enough positive things about the Millennium Center, if you are looking for a wedding venue in Winston-Salem, look no further!

detail, patience and most importantly her dedication to ensuring everything was done in a timely manner. Greg and his staff are fully dedicated and know how to make you feel at ease. We highly recommend The Millennium Center.

h our schedules since we don't live in Winston and helped ease my concerns about having the reception and ceremony at different locations. We initially had trouble scheduling a tasting due to various things - but the food at the tasting absolutely blew us away and calmed any nerves about that! My husband's family is from Philly and my family is from Louisiana, so for cocktail hour we had Philly pretzels and beer cheese & Louisiana style shrimp and grits. The ballroom was stunning - Kaitlyn might be a fairy godmother!! She arranged all the personal items I brought (my mom and nana's wedding dress, etc) without a single complaint. She was always friendly and upbeat and felt more like a friend than an event planner. She also did our floral arrangements for the reception and used Galax leaves per my request to honor my hometown's name! 6 months later, people still compliment us on our wedding and say what a fun time they had. They also talk about the food! Beef tenderloin, marinated chicken, and Vegetable Korma to celebrate our love of Indian food! We had full bar service and a full coffee bar. My husband and I never lifted a finger the whole day. Anytime I even thought I might need a refill, Kaitlyn, Greg, or another one of the amazing staff were there asking me what they could get for me. They also got Bluebell ice-cream to serve with cake - my family's favorite ice cream. We were so lucky to be able to book a Sunday at the end of our short engagement. The Millennium Center was worth every penny and I wish I could relive that day! Thank you Greg, Kaitlyn, and The Millennium Center staff - including the chef! - for making our wedding day so memorable and special. I think everyone looks back at their wedding and can see things they would change if they could. I would change some things about the ceremony and pictures.....but nothing about the reception! --unless it could have lasted longer!

e planning process, they were extremely attentive and very detail oriented. They had so many creative ideas and suggestions to help us create the perfect day. We had the best of everything- a romantic ceremony and an energetic reception to follow. The venue itself is historical and has so much character. It was so conveinent to have a salon room at the venue for the bride and bridal party to get ready in. And the guys had a great time hanging in their own private room. Our guests are also still raving about how delicious the food was! And the flowers - all ordered and arranged by The Millennium Center - were just beautiful! The day of the wedding Greg and Kaitlyn were there every step of the way to make sure everything ran smoothly. We didn't have to worry about anything but enjoying our wedding day and for that, we can't thank them enough! We highly recommend this venue.

eption complete with tropical flowers and even soda from Peru (where we met)! They offer a one stop shop for catering, decor, floral arrangements, tables, chairs, table linens, etc. which made the planning process smooth. As a note, they will charge more for specialty items, colors, etc. if they have to order them, but they are more than able to get whatever you need to make your reception exactly what you want. Food and drink was AMAZING! They helped us develop our own signature craft cocktails and I can't speak more highly of the food. The chef worked with us to craft a perfect menu and we had rave reviews from all our guests. We are very grateful for the time and effort they put into our reception.

request was too large or small for the team at Millennium and they made sure to cater our day to fit our personality. Millennium is a one stop shop offering full services of catering, decor, floral arrangements, tables, chairs, table linens, etc. which made the planning process a breeze. Not having to purchase a ton of candles/decor that I would never use again was a huge perk and they have an amazing selection to choose from. The Millennium team can make any floral dream come true with their talented staff. My colors were black and white with greenery and rose accents. Being from the south I wanted to incorporate magnolia leaves into our decor and Millennium knocked it out of the park with our table arrangements featuring Magnolia leaves. If you are looking for an incredible venue with a staff that is even more amazing Millennium Center is the right venue for you!

do at most weddings. It was as good at the wedding for 120+ guests as it was at the private tasting for 4. My guests raved and I was very proud- get the Salmon you wont regret it! As a bride, wedding planning can get stressful so I cant comment enough on how much this venue comes with and takes care of for you if you let them. Having so many options for table linens and chairs, lights and speakers, florals, catering, bridal suite to get ready on site, rehearsal and day of coordination, the list goes on. It was truly the biggest reason we went with the Millennium center and why I would always recommend them. They removed as much stress as possible for our big day and that's not to be undervalued! You will not regret using this venue and its team to have the wedding of your dreams!

ess-free, with so many good options that it's impossible to chose anything less than perfection. I had the most incredible night of my life here, and I highly recommend this venue.

them to anyone! If you're looking for a beautiful space to have a reception, I would look no further!

lew us away with their professionalism, their creativity, and their flexibility. They were amazing to work with- they thought of everything and really have weddings down to a science, we never doubted we were in great hands! Kaitlyn kept me updated about everything - even sent me preview pictures while setting up the ballroom and lobby, which was so thoughtful. One of the great things about the Millennium Center is all of the extras they provide. When booking with them you not only get a venue, but a caterer, an event coordinator, serving staff, and new friends! The food was delicious, and we heard nothing but great things from our guests. The morning of our wedding, our entire bridal party was able to get ready either in the bridal salon or in a special area downstairs that Greg set up for the guys. This was so special to us, and saved us from having one more thing to coordinate! Our guests kept raving about our reception and I know we all have the best memories of our special day thanks to the Millennium Center staff! If you book with them- you won't regret it!

ny special requests and customized the space to make it uniquely ours. Millennium Center has so much character and really embodies the rich history of Winston-Salem. Greg and his staff worked really well with our florist, photographer, and cake bakery- everything went so smoothly on the wedding day! Greg went the extra mile to ensure everything was perfect for the big day, he even worked around our schedules to set up a menu & wine tasting for us when we came into town one weekend. His staff was very friendly and welcoming- Kaitlyn set up a romantic candlelit dinner for my husband and I before being introduced at the reception, it was such a wonderful moment to have! My experience with the Millennium Center was nothing but positive! See how beautiful this venue is: https://youtu.be/ZlyMyd2nOdo

was to help set my event, my bride was so excited. I couldnt leave moms side, i didnt know what to do. I communicated my desires and hopes to Millennium management, hoped for the best, but my standards are quite high. I could not believe how beautiful the room was. Truly. Edith and Kaitlyn built my flower arrangements and they were breathtaking. Greg went out of his way to prepare a meal that was so delicious my geusts raved, and wanted to compliment chef Pat. There were to many servers to call each by name, but they were all on point with beverages, clearing, and courteous, kind attiudes. After all my experience, i was amazed and i had the time of my life. My beautiful bride was so pleased, and that made me happy.it takes real pros to build an event with minimal information and get it perfect. That was what they did for my bride and myself, and im eternally grateful. Greg made sure my mom got in safe and on the front row.

e the ballroom until I walked down the aisle. I wasn't only in awe, I was completely overwhelmed with the fairy tale wedding the staff had created. The staff had went above and beyond any and all expectations. Not only did they have our entire wedding party completely covered, they catered to our guests as if they would have to their own family. They truly thought of everything, leaving me in a position to worry about nothing and fall in love with everything and that is exactly what I did. The food was spectacular and the tables were breathtaking. I couldn't have asked for anything more beautiful. I wouldn't have changed one second of that day and although putting everything in their hands from colors to culinary may seem unnerving to some, not only was I weightless where worry would typically be a concern, I was completely taken away by the sight of perfection seeing it for the first time as my father walked with his hand clinched to mine and placed it in the hand of my first love.

thing we asked, we were afraid that perhaps they were over-promising. We had nothing to be afraid of. Anything and everything that we asked of them was accomplished. The food was delicious, and our guests were happy because it ran on time. Both Greg and Kaitlyn were on site the day of the event, so we had absolutely no need to have a wedding planner present. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a stunning venue for their wedding.

o our stress by quickly eased our stress by finding a date that would work for us. From that point on, whatever we needed, wanted, or thought of we would run by Kaitlyn and her answer was always yes! When our wedding director bailed for a family event two months before the wedding, Kaitlyn stepped up and took over that job as well. She and Greg make an incredible team and were fantastic and preparing for our wedding.

nnium Center!

ail, and I did not get coordinators direct email until two days before the wedding. We had 170 guests and were told that we would have two bars at our reception so one wouldn't get crowded. When the day came there was only one which caused some congestion for drinks. Our contract stated that we would have certain beers that we requested (Hoppyum was one of them) and we were given a cheaper version (Hop Job). My husband being a Foothills employee knew that this was a cheaper option and wasn't very pleased. Multiple mistakes were made on our contract which resulted in us getting money back but not without some attitude from the employees. The groomsmen area to get ready was amazing when we took our tour with a pool table, stocked fridge, and couches. When the day came the lights were off, no pool table and no stocked fridge. The men felt they were in a cave. Overall it was a beautiful venue and wonderful day.

teraction. We had both our ceremony and reception on-site, and each space is incredibly flexible and beautiful. Since they have all the rentals you will need and on-site catering, it makes wedding planning SO much easier and affordable. Many items that other sites will charge extra for come standard here. The food is delicious, and the chef can take any idea you have and make it a reality. The entire staff went to great lengths to make sure that our wedding day was fun and stress-free. I highly recommend the Millennium Center for your wedding!

, & was THE BEST Day-of Coordinator. The staff was friendly and professional! I will definitely be referring the Millennium Center to all my family and friends. Mr. & Mrs. Johnson

business consulting company and are in entertainment ourselves so we interact with many people. I do not say we experienced THE best of THE best lightly! We walked away after having a perfect wedding and we learned how fantastic the customer experience can truly be. I would say we paid less than the value we got... when is the last time any of us could say that. We are so thankful.

architecture of the building, which is amazing; but the best part of this place is Greg Carlyle, the owner; Kaitlyn, the event coordinator & his staff! They are, without a doubt, the best in the business. We had the rehearsal dinner in the lower level Speak Easy area & it is beautiful. Such atmosphere. Has wrapped white lighting across the ceiling, brick columns, a bar, small dance floor, sound access & is perfect for a romantic evening event. The wedding was in the Grand Ballroom & it is awesome! The ceiling is hung with crystal chandeliers & crystal draping with large columns washed in uplighting in your choice of colors. The sound system is unbelievable & is available for your DJ or band to use. The cocktail hour was in the huge hall and sitting area adjacent to the bar, which was serviced by properly dressed wait staff & bar tenders.. The reception was also in the Ballroom, which had been converted for dinner & dancing--all in a matter of one hour. There are beautifully adorned tables with gold chargers, centerpieces, candle light, bow tie napkins,-anything you ask for-along with all the specialty tables--candy buffet, guest registry, gift table, bridal portrait, cake table, photo booth & props. Everything was perfect! The DJ was center stage, with the couple's Logo on the dance floor. Now for the Food! I will tell you we heard raves all night about the food. Greg's chef and his staff out did themselves. They prepared our rehearsal dinner, food for cocktail hour, reception dinner & everything was perfection. The wait staff was so attentive to everyone, including preparing special meals for the kiddies, vegetarians, & those with certain allergies. There is nothing they cannot handle. On wedding day, Greg made sure the Bridal Party-20 of them- were not forgotten. He prepared food, of our choice, & delivered it to the dressing areas, for the guys downstairs & the ladies on the main floor. This included Mimosas! Immediately after the ceremony, he had food & drinks ready to grab as they boarded a trolley for outside photos. This special service kept them fed & hydrated, in what otherwise would have been a 12 hour day without a break. As the Bride & Groom prepared to leave at 11 pm, in a white horse and carriage, Kaitlyn (Greg's event coordinator) knew Monica & Joey had never had dinner. She ran to the carriage, with dinner for two & placed it on the seat for them to have later. This meant SO much to them and they enjoyed the wonderful reception meal together. Greg handles emergencies with grace. As the mother of the bride, I arrived late, with the photographer waiting on the wedding gown. In a rush to get inside, I ran to the trunk & found I had locked the car with the wedding dress inside! I walked into Greg's office frantic, knowing my daughter would be beyond upset. Greg calmly said, "It's ok. We'll get it. Don't tell her." He got on the computer, had AAA on the phone, explained the emergency, gave directions, & had me go have my makeup done as if all was well.. Long story short, Greg met AAA, got the dress out & the bride never knew until hours later. Service WAY beyond what is expected. Greg is GREAT !!

at, drink, dance, and have fun. Greg, Kaitlyn and the staff at MC stayed out of my hair but did everything they needed to do to make sure the evening flowed smoothly. The only reason I put 4 instead of 5 stars is the unorganized feeling leading up to the event itself, even the morning of. I realize that the MC staff work on a flexible schedule but sometimes it was very difficult to communicate back and forth. The day of was a little hectic (which was to be expected) but many of the staff did not start doing their part of setting up until right before the cocktail hour started and that had me slightly on edge. I did receive phenomenal feed back on the food and it truly was so amazing and not your typical wedding food. It's been over a month and people are still talking about the food and the ballroom where we held the event. With this venue you get quality service and the freedom to make the event exactly what you want it to be. I highly recommend this space for your event.

g up to the wedding day and he always made himself available to us and every time we met with him he gave us a walk through of what our wedding would be like from start to finish. He really painted a picture and has an eye for detail. One huge benefit of The Millennium Center is that they can do pretty much everything in house. Greg and his team staged the wedding and flipped the ballroom into the reception immediately afterwards. They provided all the tables, chairs, linens, candles & holders, everything! They offer a variety of options for all decor which really allows you to have the look you are going for. We had them provide our dinner and one common theme after the wedding is everyone raved about how good the food was. Everyone agreed that the food was the best they had ever had at a wedding. We had their appetizers during our cocktail hour which consisted of bruschetta made with local tomatoes, and crab cakes. For dinner we had a fresh salad followed by chicken and been tenderloin with fresh vegetables. All local ingredients. We did a family style dinner which was a first for them but they made it perfect. Greg himself presented the dishes to every table personally and made sure everyone was aware of what was in front of them, this was a very nice personal touch. Every member of the staff was incredibly accommodating and made sure that all of our guest had what they needed and had a great time. Greg truly made us feel that our wedding was the most important event of the year for them and they perfectly executed every part of the day. Greg even joined us on the dance floor and enjoyed the party with us, which was AWESOME! I cannot begin to express how perfect everything was and how wonderful our entire experience was working with Greg and his team. If you can book your wedding at The Millennium Center you definitely should, you will not be disappointed.

ing. Literally, my every wish/request was granted! Through all of the planning and decor & vendor selections, Greg was there to assist with suggestions and referrals and never once steered me wrong. And then to the actual day of, from getting ready in the bridal suite to tearing up the dance floor in to the night, we could not have asked for a more perfect celebration. The building itself is so special and really just a sight to behold and then on top of that, the support staff really has the wedding thing down to a science. One item that was really important to me was that the food be mind-blowing, and Chef Pat and Artisan really delivered - people are still talking about the MASSIVE charcuterie display. Also, I remember at first being a bit wary about not hiring a day of coordinator, but just as Greg reassured me, we stayed completely on schedule and the event flowed flawlessly. Our reception was simply perfection, and I am just SO thankful for the Millennium Center and team for all that they did to pull it off. This place is the epitome of elegance and like I stated in the beginning of this review, you can't go wrong with the Millennium Center!!

ff were extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful with our process of planning THE best wedding reception ever :) People still talk about how nice Greg was, how great the food was, and how amazing the venue looked til this day. If I could do it ALL over again, I certainly would. I recommend the shrimp and grits in the martini glass as an appetizer, it was a HIT!

joy and expert; he made the planning fun and relaxed. The venue was gorgeous, well staffed, and the food was the best! Guests were so happy and impressed, many gushing with compliments. The entire wedding, cocktail hour, and reception was at the M. Center and made it very easy for our guests to relax and enjoy. We'd love to plan another event here, because it was so fantastic! This venue is very unique and we strongly recommend. Thanks Greg and M. Ctr. staff.

ase and that we were truly important. With Greg and his staff in charge, I did not worry about anything. From planning the menu to the table arrangements, Greg made sure my every wish was carried out. We truly had the reception of my dreams- it was better than I could have ever imagined. The venue itself is stunningly beautiful- the space speaks for itself. We did not have to add a lot of decorations due to the natural beauty of the ballroom. The Millennium Center is absolutely spectacular- from the amazing staff, delicious food and overall environment, our reception was breathtaking. I highly recommend The Millennium Center!

w we would have gone through the year without him. He and the M. Center made the process fun, exciting, and unique. He helped us avoid pitfalls with good with great advice from one who has years of experience in entertainment. Our guests were blown away with the organization; so were we!! The food served, which was first an hour cocktail party prior to a sit down dinner was delectable and so complimented by our guests. Honestly, it was the best I've eve had at a wedding reception: the reason is, it is made on site and served straight from stove to /oven to the table, piping hot and delicious. The Millennium Center is over 100 years old and the ambiance is over the top and is huge. Our daughter got married upstairs in the "Court Room"--but there are many areas and knooks and crannys that make entertainment fascinating. Photos from the roof top of the couple and WS skyline were divine! Our guests loved not having to drive from ceremony to a reception place, made it easy to go from ceremony to lobby for cocktail area and then to ballroom for sit down dinner/dancing and music. Thank you Greg and staff, you all are the best!! Thank you Grey, staff, and M. Ctr., Lorraine

entire venue, menu tastings, etc. I NEVER felt like I was just another bride. Every person on his staff called me by name and remembered who I was each time I came. Greg was always available to meet in person or discuss details over the phone or email. The building itself has beautiful details that made for the perfect place for our wedding. We were able to make the ballroom "our own" with lighting details, and decor that fit our style. You can do so much (or even do so little) and the Millennium Center will be the place that makes your dream wedding into a reality. The food at the Millennium Center is beyond reproach. We have served/butlered cocktail hour appetizers, which elevated the feel/vibe of that hour. For dinner, we served a salad and shrimp and grits, then had a buffet for the main course. I cannot say enough how delicious this food was. Greg also kept our drinks and plates full throughout the night so that my groom and I were able to mingle and visit. Greg and his staff took the "worry" out of everything. My husband and I were beyond blessed to have Greg and all the staff at the Millennium Center taking care of our wedding and reception.

the building really takes your breath away. The day we toured, the ballroom was set up for a wedding reception & my at the time fiance, and my mother knew from the look on my face that there was no need to go anywhere else. I absolutely loved every moment of the planning. Greg is willing to do whatever you need! There was a particular cake table we wanted that he was willing to create for us. The FOOD is AMAZING. He has several vendors that he is used to working with & it made me feel so comfortable knowing these were tried & true professionals (our DJ was fab, thanks to Greg!). We had such a wonderful time. Everything was wonderful, even down to the morning of our event when I received a pep-talk for Greg when there was a slight bridal party drama going on. One of my favorite moments was showing my dad the ballroom for the first time as it was being set up & him & Greg shared a moment where they both teared up. For all the complements we received, we really had to give credit to the Millennium Center. They do it ALL. Set up, clean up, chairs, tables, linens! They will even do your centerpieces if requested. We had an open bar, prime rib, chicken, eggplant rollatini, assorted artisan rolls, fresh salad with locally sourced ingredients like Strawberries... It was amazing. We hardly had to lift a finger with any of our wedding planning! *The Millennium center is also very willing to work with you to help keep costs down- for example we substituted their typical steak choice for Prime Rib which happened to be my husband & my fathers favorite cut of meat anyway!

when I walked in the door that I didn’t need to look any further. From beginning to end, Greg was always available, quick to respond to emails or calls, personable, always willing to give suggestions and the pricing was more than fair. There aren’t many wedding venues where everything is included in the price. We were very thankful for this, as I cannot imagine how stressful my planning would have been if I would have had to worry about renting/bringing linens and seat covers and center pieces, etc. The fact that the Millennium Center was a one stop shop simply saved my sanity during the whole process! In addition, Greg was so helpful - from day one the pricing was laid out, with different options on food, beverages, rooms to hold different events, etc. He was very upfront on what the costs were, what he could do to help keep costs down, and most importantly, he was very honest on what he thought was worth spending money on and what just hadn't worked in the past. He was more than accommodating on several occasions when we wanted to stop by on a whim (we were planning from out of town). You could just really tell that he cares about the people that walk in his office and making their events wonderful. He puts 100% into everything he does. From the food tasting in his restaurant, where he and his wife served us like they were waiters and gave in depth descriptions of each and every appetizer, entree and side they served, to making sure we were all fully stocked with champagne and beer and soft drinks on the day of the wedding, every last detail was covered without me having to double check him or worry that he'd forget something. That is truly amazing and was such a relief. His staff on the day of the wedding gave top notch service that you'd expect at a 5 star restaurant/hotel. We actually had a waiter follow us outside while we were taking pictures to make sure that we weren't being left out of the cocktail hour. The food was absolutely amazing. It was served on time, was fresh and all of our guests raved about it. We also had several attendees with food allergies and they were taken care of with no problems. I have had several friends comment that the Millennium Centers Shrimp and Grits are the best they've ever eaten. I have to agree! Greg and his staff also designed all of our flowers and did a great job of listening to and creating exactly what I wanted. He is talented at so many things! I just cannot and do not want to imagine what my wedding day would have been like had it been held somewhere else. I full heartedly believe that no one holding a wedding and/or wedding reception at The Millennium Center would ever be disappointed or regretful. Thank you Greg and your staff for such an amazing day! We could not have asked for anything more and will recommend you to everyone we know that is looking for a venue in the W-S area!!

r commitment to excellence.

a black carpet, which was very disappointing because our colors were very light and it will be seen in all of our pictures. It took him weeks to respond to emails at times and didn't have an assistant or second contact that we could reach out to. He misquoted us several times and tried to add $1,500 to our signed agreement 3 weeks before our wedding date. He's a very nice guy and ended up working most details out in the end, but he just needs some extra help because brides need someone who is responsive. I was stressed up until the minute I walked down the aisle. The venue itself is very nice and the food was great, but there was a lot of stress involved in planning our wedding day. We brought our parents to a "planning meeting" a few months before the wedding and he was 30 minutes late and then just ended up giving us a tour of the venue for the third time instead of deciding on any details. On the day of our wedding his staff was wonderful, but that was the only time I worked with or met any of them. If you do choose this venue, I highly recommend using a wedding planner to deal with the details and to make sure EVERYTHING gets written down.

e amenities that a great wedding needs; super food, great drinks, beautiful table linens and decorations, a fun and attractive decor.... We had a terrific event and enjoyed working with the MC very much. They made a very stressful occasion - a complete pleasure. We are very, very grateful.

nd Jon worked with us personally to make sure the set up was everything I envisioned. Myself, my groom, and my parents felt so pampered through the entire process. People are continually telling me how great the food was, and how great the service was. The food was amazing and Greg easily worked with our budget to give me what I wanted in a classy buffet style. The service was on par for a 4-star restaurant. Myself and the groom had our plates served to us, champagne bottle service at our table, and continuous servers asking us if we needed anything. Unlike most people I actually ate at my wedding! I can't say enough about these guys and would recommend them ten times over. Worth every single penny!

lanning process moves at your own speed and you can customize your event to fit easily into your budget. The Millennium Center is perfect for any size event (ours was 250 people), and your guests will talk about the venue for weeks following your wedding. The staff was accommodating the day and night of our wedding and the staff did their part to make sure that we remained hydrated throughout the night and that we actually had a chance to eat our dinner. You'll not regret getting married at OR having your reception at the Millennium Center. Greg and his team are attentive, personable and they do the leg work so you can relax and enjoy the party.

ake your day perfect. The staff are also all very kind and helpful, and put up with me rearranging the front area about 3 times before I found a configuration I liked. The food was also incredible, and the wait staff were courteous and efficient. Everyone complimented us on the amazing meal. At the beginning of our reception, the sound system messed up a little and one of the staff members immediately came to fix it, and I appreciated his swiftness in identifying and fixing the problem. I would recommend the Millennium Center 100%-- it was a great experience and a wonderful reception!

ocess was easy and stress free!

ay so we got a very good discount. We had the location all day and all night long. Greg's staff were serving guests from 4:00 in the afternoon until midnight. The customer service here was great, I feel like they really listened to all of my ideas and made everything happen that I wanted. I came in with some very different ideas and instead of discouraging me they actually were impressed with my taste in food and decor and executed everything very well. I will continue to recommend the Millennium Center for future brides who are tired of the standard hotel ballroom.

had our ceremony and reception in the grand ballroom with the cocktail hour in the main lobby. The "flipping" of the room was a little longer than I anticipated but in the end it was all worth it. SO many people have said it was such an amazing wedding, venue, décor, and every person I talked to said how amazing the food was and they wanted seconds. Somehow the rest of our cake squares weren't put out so everything thought the cake was gone and we really had a ton left over. Greg, John and their entire crew were awesome and so helpful and worked so hard. I think each one of them came up to us to see if we needed anything. The room can be transformed into anything you may dream of. Greg (the owner) responds to emails quickly and provides all the info you could need. Definitely the best choice we could've picked for our wedding...it went by way to fast and I'd love to have it all over again!

hat could implement our ideas without our constant involvement. The Millennium Center delivered an excellent product in a cost-effective manner. The on-site chef prepared an excellent meal that was served warm and presented beautifully. The flowers were as requested, beautiful and extremely cost-effective when compared to local florists. The wedding and reception went smoothly for both the bridal party and guests. I would highly recommend that the Millennium Center be considered and compared with any other local venue.

ing but they made it beautiful and respective, and then in absolutely no time they had the place switched over to a beautiful reception while the guest socialized in another area. The lightening was unique and beautiful. I really loved that we had so much room to dance and move around. Too many times you are bumping into people but that was not a problem here. The food was wonderful as well. We had so many choices to pick from and they accommodated all of our request. We had a place to get dressed and they provided us snacks and drinks. I have had many people ask if we could do it again because everyone had such a wonderful time. Compared to many other places the Millennium Center was a very good deal. I liked knowing that everything was inclusive and I did not have to go out and find someone to provide the food, table lines, lightening, etc. The only thing we had to get separate was the DJ, flowers, and cake, however they made wonderful recommendations and would also do flowers for us if needed. My suggestion to anyone planning for a wedding would be spend your money on the setting and food because that is what people will remember when looking back to the fun-filled day.

Anything I asked for it was there for me. I had a long engagement so lots of planning. It wasn't until 3 months up to my wedding that I needed to have much contact with them. The day of my wedding I was completely ok with knowing Greg and his staff had it all taken care of. It was nice knowing that the food and decorating was left in their hands. My bridesmaids also were very thankful that I was not barking out orders to them. We got so many compliments and people still talk about my DREAM wedding. The food is AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING! I got to chose my meal and it was the best. Again I could not have asked for anything more from The Millennium Center! Wonderful!

dding (and many of our guests said the same!) Highly recommend!

the cockatil hour, and they did not announce that there was an ice cream sundae bar or hot dog cart in the back for the guests to enjoy.

erfect location for us because they took care of everything from linens to food and drinks. It was so wonderful not to have to coordinate with several vendors the week before and day of the wedding. The staff at the Millennium Center worked with all my requests and went above and beyond. They even found gluten-free beer for my guests who had this dietary restriction. They were also great with involving me in every decision, even down to how I wanted the napkins folded! There were about 400 guests at my wedding; however, the large space at the Millennium Center never felt crowded. All my guest were fed extremely fast and did not have to wait for drinks. Plus, they were all in awe by the gorgeous historical venue. Just to help give a better a ideal of how great this vendor is, here is the thank you note I wrote a few weeks after the wedding: "Dear Greg and Staff, This note is a little overdue. However, I just had to write to tell you thank you for helping to make my wedding day so special and perfect. You all literally took care of everything and went above and beyond all of my requests. It was such a blessing to not have to worry about a single detail on my wedding day. Because I knew y'all had everything covered, I was able to relax and enjoy time with my friends, family and new husband. You not only made me and Wells feel like a King and Queen, you made both our parents feel like royalty as well! The staff was excellent at anticipating all my guests' needs. Everyone is still talking about the delicious food and gorgeous venue! Thank you sincerely for making Wells and my wedding an event we will remember for a lifetime!" I would definitely recommend the Millennium Center to any bride or groom!

eir professionalism I love this place!

n of a formal family style dining experience and ran with my ideas and created a spectacular evening with a stunning setting and outstanding food and service. The additional plus is that he had everything I needed in-house... candles, linens, chiavari chairs, and beautiful chandeliers. I did not have to rent a thing....Patrick, the chef, took my dinner requests and created a meal that surpasses anything I have ever had in NC. The ease with which he served 200 was astounding. His creativity took a basic rehearsal dinner and made it a fabulous event. Our guests have been calling for his recipes: figs stuffed with goat cheese mousse, herb crusted tenderloin with chimachurri sauce and much more. After the dinner, we moved downstairs to a party at the "Speakeasy". Once again, they took my ideas of a fun party night and created an atmosphere that took us into the early morning hours, including egg croissants at midnight. We had to finally dim the lights to get all to leave. Greg was there from start to finish making sure that everything went off according to my expectations and I was free to enjoy the evening with family and friends. We truly can not thank Greg enough for this wonderful evening.

for the rehearsal dinner and the reception. Greg spent plenty of time with Matt and Victoria, as well as with my wife and me, to make sure that the events reflected Matt and Victoria's individual tastes and preferences. Everything was done for both events as promised and on budget. The food, beverages, and decor were as we had wanted them to be. The attention to detail was incredible. We are constantly hearing from guests about how much they enjoyed the events. It could not have been a better weekend for us simply because it was perfect.

the ambiance was incredible. I would definitely recommend this venue to any bride looking to have the perfect wedding day!

erfect. Would recommend this venue to anyone!

till talking about it and the overall feel of the historic building can't be beat. They also are constantly making improvements which is nice. Greg and Cindy are awesome to work with!

arge wedding and I could not have found a better place to have it. I felt the cost that we paid and all the accommodations he did for us saved us a great amount of money. Our wedding day was great and his staff was amazing. The place looked beautiful and our guest could not stop commenting on the location. My friends left talking about how they loved our servers and bartenders. Its been a month and they are still mentioning how awesome the service was. I would recommend this location! You may think that other locations may be cheaper but consider the cost of decorations and what other add ons those places will put in your total. After all of that, I am pretty certain the difference will be more than the cost of this location who pretty much has everything a bride needs! The food is also AWESOME!!! When I was looking for a venue this was on the top of party planners list because of the food! This place has amazing food!

building that has been restored into a beautiful venue with the best lighting, sound system, and staff around! We had a unique sports themed wedding that the Millennium Center help make everything we ever dreamed of and more! We met multiple times with Greg and the staff to iron out details and finalized plans. The venue was open to us all day prior to set up. When we arrived for the reception Greg had made special reserved parking spots for us and for our close family members. When we walked in, we couldn't believe our eyes, it was just perfect inside! Everything was set up as we has discussed, the food was unbelievable and the professionalism of the staff was second to none! At the conclusion of the night, Greg kept all our belonging for our parents to go back the next day, when things had slowed down, and collect. To top matters off, almost three weeks out from our wedding, we still have family and friends commenting on what a great time they had and how beautiful the Millennium center was! We couldn't be more pleased with our decision to have our event at the Millennium Center and would recommend every bride at least go check it out! Thank you Greg, Cynthia, and the rest of the staff for helping make our dream a reality!

what we wanted. They were friendly, knowledgeable and professional. We were especially pleased with the "all inclusive" pricing. And it really did include EVERYTHING! We can't imagine that we could have gotten more for our money anywhere else in town. The ballroom was beautiful and allowed plenty of room for cocktails, dinner, dancing, a photo booth and even a lounge area. And the food was out of this world. Many of our guests commented that the food was the best they had ever had at a wedding reception. We agreed. The Millennium Center truly exceeded our expectations on all counts. We would recommend them for any special occasion, large or small. You can count on them to make your dreams come true!

"nicest" "most sophisticated" "most beautiful" "elegant" etc wedding they have ever been to... and we had guests from Cali, Texas, Miami, NYC, etc. The set up was beautiful, the food (they do their own catering) was amazing -- and we were also told that it was the best food people had ever had at a wedding. They put up a Christmas tree for us as a surprise (they cleared it with us a few days before) but it made our December wedding that much more beautiful! They also spontaneously set up a coffee/liquer bar without even being asked after one of the bridesmaids asked if there was coffee service ready yet. Someone came by and told me what a great idea I had for that... totally wasn't my idea, Greg just went above and beyond as usual! I honestly can't imagine that our wedding could have been any better, it was more of everything than I had even hoped for. I wish we could do it all over again. Their service is truly turn-key and all-encompassing!

r tasted at a wedding! The ballroom was beautiful! It is so obvious that everyone at the Millennium Center loves what they do and they will go out of their way to make sure that your day is perfect! I can't imagine my wedding without them!!!

s and they recognize that to the fullest. Their hands-on approach to dealing with you is truly fantastic. They have an extraordinary gift in putting you at ease, and then most importantly delivering (actually over-delivering) on there promises. On top of all that, the VALUE of the food and services they provide is tremendous. The venue in and of itself is amazing. The charm and history that it exudes gives the perfect ambience for a wedding to remember. The high ceilings, the antique light fixtures, the marble floors in the ball room, the marble throughout the perimeter areas, and the scattering of the various bars and vestibules where people can congregate and spread out, are simply the finishing touches. Our experience was truly a "fairy-tale" wedding for our daughter.

emarkable and the evening was everything that the bride and groom dreamed of. The wedding planning and execution were stress free and perfect. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the Millennium Center to future brides.

y recommend the Millennium Center!!

ve and beyond what we expected. They were courteous, efficient and met every need we had the day of the event. We had several compliments after the wedding about how good the food was. It was a perfect day with the help of everyone there. I would absolutely recommend the Millennium Center to anyone for their special day.

They have all of the linens, china, and all of the last minute details you always forget. The venue was a dream come true!
