We got married here 10/4 and it was the easiest part of our wedding planning! Casey was incredible to work with, was able to answer questions in a more than timely manner, and work...

still get teary eyed thinking about it because it was by far one of the most beautiful venues I have ever been to and I feel so so lucky we was able to have our wedding there! The amount of detail & thought they put into the entire place is amazing. I would pick Urban501 over and over again if I could!
I had my wedding at Urban 501 in March of 2024. The venue is absolutely beautiful and right in the heart of Marion, Ohio. The venue is so spacious with options for an outdoor/indoo...
r ceremony, a separate cocktail hour space (with an awesome bar), and a reception space. Throughout my whole wedding planning process, the Urban 501 was quick to respond to all of our questions and even helped us find the best package for our guest count. The team was genuinely focused on letting us have the best day of our lives and was incredibly professional throughout. You can’t find a better, more hardworking group of people than at Urban 501. We hope to have more events there in the future!
I highly recommend this wedding venue! We had both our ceremony and reception on-site, and I can't think of anything they could have done better. The space is beautiful, and the st...
aff was excellent. The communication was great leading up to and on the day of the event. We had two coordinators for the day of, one in the morning and one in the evening, and they kept us all moving smoothly throughout the day.
Kennedy was THE best. She was always positive, upbeat, and most importantly responsive. If I sent an email at noon I got a response by 1pm if not sooner. I cannot thank Kennedy eno...
ugh for the work she put in to making our day great. We viewed the venue while it was under construction; the vision was there but only on paper and in our heads. We chose the Urban501 bc it met the look/feel we wanted. It more than met our expectations; it was beautiful.

We attended an event at Urban501 and instantly fell in love with the vibe of the space. It's an old trolley station, and the way that they incorporated the history of the building ...
into the decor is really unique. We love that there is on-site catering from Bucci's Italian Scratch Kitchen, and we had an excellent experience when we ate there to test the food.
Kennedy and her team are so helpful, so accommodating, and work to make the experience perfect. She also had great recommendations for local vendors that has made the process really easy. We have been thoroughly impressed!
Beautiful venue! The staff is great to work with. Would highly recommend.
If you're looking for a luxury venue that showcases historical meaning, charming atmosphere, and the absolute best staff. You have found the one! I recently hosted a private party ...
at Urban 501, and had no regrets or negative thoughts about it. Urban 501 was the perfect spot to gather with close friends and family. The historical charm of the building and inviting atmosphere made it that much better. The bartender on the day of the event was so charming and amazing behind the bar! I can not even begin to say how many compliments I got on the venue, and how beautiful and unique the space was. Then there was Kennedy… She was the real selling point, she was so attentive and helpful along the way. Her personality was so fun and cheerful, which made me feel comfortable and invited. She is an absolute charm, and knows what she's doing. If you have an event here, I'm sure it would be a success because you'd have Kennedy by your side. I can not recommend this venue enough!
My fiance and I recently toured Urban501 in our search for a wedding venue and we fell in love with the history, character, and charm of the building! Kennedy gave us a tour of the...

We’re having our wedding at Urban 501 in November and so far planning has been amazing! I knew as soon as we stepped foot in the main ball room that this was the place. Kennedy is ...
