“We had our ceremony and reception at Bakery 105 and used 128 South for catering. Throughout the planning process Jordan and Katie were so quick and responsive, providing all the answers we needed! We changed our mind many times and they were so accommodating. 128 S does group tastings which is such a great concept! You truly get to see before your wedding day how capable their chefs are of making a meal on a large scale and how attentive all of their service staff and bartenders are. The entire tasting experience put me at ease for the day of! 5 stars is not enough for the professionalism and clarity of communication from the venue/catering services.”

“I'm a professional photographer in the wedding industry in Wilmington, and I've known the owner Kelly for awhile now. We have worked together before for many photo shoots, styled shoots, etc. and she is ALWAYS a dream to make a vision come to life with. And now that she owns Maven Monroe, it's even BETTER. The space itself is stunning, and the perfectly clean, white space (photographers love this) with natural light available, it's an absolute pleasure to work in. And I LOVE that there's even TWO getting ready spaces on the property, and soon-to-be a back patio, too!! Don't hesitate to book Maven Monroe not only for the stunning venue, but also for the joy of working with Kelly. She will make alllllllll your dreams come true.”
