The Renaissance Wine Garden was an absolutely gorgeous venue for our wedding and provided great value for our NYE wedding. While the communication from their staff was somewhat inconsistent at times, John, the owner, was a gracious host who clearly takes immense pride in his space and business. Our wedding was held in the chilly off-season, but John made sure to provide patio heaters for our outdoor ceremony and was super accommodating throughout the entire day to ensure everything went smoothly. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful and special setting to celebrate our marriage.

Olde Wicks was the most amazing wedding venue we could have possibly imagined. From getting ready to our reception, we were able to have our whole wedding day at one location in three different halls. There was no stress over flipping any rooms, and our guests were never crammed into any room. The venue was so beautiful for our winter wedding, we have had so many compliments. Every hall is unique, but still cohesive. It is a very flexible space- you could choose to do minimal decor or really lean into your own personal style and the halls would look beautiful either way. Our pictures are absolutely stunning and I cannot imagine a more beautiful venue to suit our vision. Additionally, Jennifer and Shannon were amazing to work with. We visited the venue a couple of times- they were always very accommodating, answered all of our questions, and even helped point us in the direction of some of our other vendors. They completely simplified the process and made planning and the day-of as stress free as possible. We were truly able to be in the moment and enjoy our day, while Jennifer and Shannon took care of everything behind the scenes.

The fact that people don’t know about this place blows me away. There is nowhere else to go where the owners will bring your nephew cool cars. Allow your guests to leave their vehicles on the parking lot for safety if need be, the communication, the ideas. If you are about to make an interesting wedding decision Philip will absolutely help guide you in the right direction. I know there are weddings there every weekend but the owners absolutely make you feel like your event is the only one that matters. Thank you Philip for helping our dreams to come true, and thanks for suggesting a Friday night wedding! Everyone thanked us for it!

We recently had our wedding and reception at Live! by Loews in October, and it was absolutely incredible. From start to finish, every detail was perfectly handled, and the experience exceeded all of our expectations. Our ceremony and cocktail hour took place on the Bullock Terrace, and the setting was nothing short of breathtaking. The stunning cityscape and Ballpark Village provided the exact vibe we envisioned. The terrace was beautifully prepared, creating an atmosphere our guest couldn't stop raving about. The Cardinal Ballroom for our reception was spacious enough to comfortably accommodate our 200 guests, with plenty of room for dancing and celebrating. The bar service was impeccable, and the food was a highlight of the night - everyone commented on how delicious everything was. A huge shoutout to Sydney, the venue coordinator, who was truly the icing on the cake. From our very first meeting to the wedding day itself, she went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. If everyone planning their wedding had a Sydney, no one would ever have to worry about a thing! her expertise, kindness, and attention to detail made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Beyond Sydney, every staff member we encountered was warm, friendly, and eager to help. Their professionalism and genuine care made both us and our guests feel welcomed and valued throughout the event. If I could do it all over again, there isn't a single thing I would change. Live! by Loews was the perfect choice, and I would pick them again in a heartbeat. Thank you for making our special day unforgettable.
