Union
A chic and contemporary space for celebrations
Holds ceremonies and receptions
Union Event Space is the PERFECT wedding venue! My husband and I got married here in September, and everything was absolutely beautiful and seamless from start to finish. The bridal suite is incredibly spacious. It easily accommodated my large bridal party (8 bridesmaids), along with family members and my hair and makeup team. We never once felt cramped, which made the morning so much more relaxing and enjoyable. My husband also loved having a separate groom’s suite where he and his groomsmen could hang out, watch football, and unwind before the ceremony.
We chose to use the lounge area for cocktail hour, and it was a huge hit. Our guests loved having a comfortable space to sit, relax, and mingle. The main reception space was perfect for our 150 guests, and the modern industrial aesthetic created such a beautiful atmosphere.
We also highly recommend working with Millie as your day-of coordinator. She is truly phenomenal and played such a big role in making our day run smoothly. I left a separate review for her on her Amyillion Memories page because she deserves all the recognition! If you’re looking for a stunning venue with great spaces and an amazing overall experience, we cannot recommend Union Event Space enough!
The Union was a beautiful venue! We loved the location and vibes. We were able to customize the layout exactly as we wanted. The lounge was a great plus as well for our guests.
