Erik, From our first meeting, we clicked and since then it has been a fun ride: We will forever boast about all that you offer (2 nights BEFORE the big day is a GAME CHANGER), the tasting of our menu (with your added recommendations), and all of the glorious changes you have made and continue to make to the Venue. All in all, the Venue and food were SPECTACULAR! You were incredibly helpful and attentive to all our needs throughout the day and then some. We could not have asked for a more interactive, involved, and caring person to be our Venue Coordinator. We STRONGLY recommend you to anyone who wants to have a joyous Wedding!

I cannot say enough positive things about our experience with the Cade Museum. We had to switch our reception venue last minute (less than 30 days out) from our date and Amanda was SO welcoming and eager to help us out. She was friendly, professional and accommodated us with all our questions and concerns. On the day of the event, she made sure everything ran smoothly. Setup of the venue was beautiful. Stunning venue, amazing staff. Just all around an A++++ experience!
