We chose Vouv for our wedding reception and we are so glad we did. We originally went to go check out Nuvo Room which is owned by the same people, and they took us next door to Vou...v because it was a better fit for our guest count.
Weddings are expensive but I feel like we paid a fair price for everything, and they were always clear and upfront about those prices. They don't pressure you to choose more expensive options for food, decorations, ect. They made a payment plan too, so we didn't have to pay all up front.
Since it's a relatively new venue, it was everyone's first time there which is a good thing to me. We were able to fit 280 people comfortably with plenty of room for a dance floor. The staff takes care of so much of the day-of logistics that you don't want to have to worry about yourself. Nicole was our reception coordinator and she did such a great job. She never made me feel annoying when I would email her every week for like 6 months. She stayed close all night so we never had to track her down if we needed her.
We chose the spinach & artichoke chicken dinner plate for our guests which was definitely a crowd pleaser. We were also able to accommodate guests with dietary restrictions with a gluten free vegan dish, which they very much appreciated. The servers brought the food to the tables, so we didn't have to shuffle all of our guests through a buffet line (although that is an option if you want it).
They let us bring a margarita machine for our cinco de mayo wedding, and the bar staff did a great job making sure the drinks were nice and frozen which can be tricky to time. They let you bring your own booze which saves a ton of money, especially if you get your booze from somewhere that let's you return unopened bottles.
They offer a lighting package that made the room look gorgeous, definitely worth it. The pictures turned out great too, which is important, if you choose a place with bad lighting your pictures won't look good. We also rented centerpieces from them with real candles, not fake plastic ones. Everything looked perfect and beautiful.
Our wedding was an Indian fusion wedding, and Nicole was accommodating with the cultural aspects that we needed to have. We have gotten tons of compliments about the reception and have been told by many people that it was the best wedding reception they had been to. Nicole did an excellent job making sure everything went according to our plan. You will go to weddings where the couple looks so stressed and they don't even have time to eat their food. That was definitely not our wedding thanks to Nicole and her staff!
