Awarded Best of Zola
Huge thank you to the entire staff of the Makoy, who particularly Matt, Erin and Adrian who made sure that our wedding went smoothly and everything was perfect. Everyone was so nice and helpful. It was so appreciated when there are so many things to keep in mind and so many tasks to cross off your list. They made everything so much easier! The way everything came together looked absolutely wonderful and exceeded our expectations by far. The decor was done so beautifully and we were very impressed. The food was amazing, the bartender was great and super friendly and every single guest made comments to me about how wonderful the event was and how nice the venue was. We could not be any happier with our decision to get married at the Makoy. It was absolutely perfect!!!

This place has a beautiful rustic feel, bar games, and just all around great atmosphere. We didn't even decorate anything! They had plenty of tables with nice black covers to make them more upscale. The murals bring so much life into the room. I had so many compliments on the space! Josh was very easy to work with throughout the planning process! The drinks were delicious, the staff was friendly, helpful, and accommodating! I would choose this place all over again in a heartbeat.

As wedding photographers we experience all different wedding venues, styles, layouts, lighting & we're here to tell you, Strongwater is without a doubt the most incredible and well-rounded space that we have gotten the chance to shoot. From the incredible staff, to the one of a kind experience...where do we even begin? The first time we ever photographed at Strongwater was back in 2018 and we were in awe of the level of service they provided to our clients. Since then, we have seen time and time and again Strongwater putting their clients first and focusing the wedding day experience on the celebration without adding stress! The staff's philosophy of valuing their clients is so effortlessly present in everything they do. As vendors, we've never been treated with such kindness...so much so that now we are grateful to call many of the staff members friends. We know we are not alone in this sentiment because our clients are always treated in this way as well! Oh, and the venue…how could we forget? We've photographed all over the state & country - there's nothing that resembles the industrial elegance + gritty texture Strongwater offers. It's as versatile as it is stunning - allowing you to dress it up or let it shine as is. When it comes to photos, the tones in the building, courtyard + surrounding areas make for the most flattering colors in images. Add in the world class staff & you have yourself the perfect venue for your celebration. There aren't enough words to tell you how much we adore being at + photographing at Strongwater! Do yourself a favor and book your wedding in this space today!
