Big - Fat - Greek American Wedding
From our first interaction with the team at FIVE Event Center, we were impressed by their efficient, knowledgeable, and kind communication style. The venue itself is classic and chic, with a capacious layout that allowed us to create our dream wedding celebration. Robyn, the event coordinator, went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfectly executed, allowing us as a couple to truly relax and enjoy the day. The catering and venue staff were also incredibly attentive, thoughtfully lighting all the candles we had placed throughout the space to create a warm, glowing ambiance. One of the biggest advantages of hosting our wedding at FIVE Event Center was that we were able to bring in our own packaged food items for the cocktail hour, saving us a significant amount on catering costs. FIVE Event Center and their in-house catering partner, GreenMill, work together seamlessly as a well-oiled machine to deliver an exceptional experience. We are so grateful to the entire team for making our wedding day truly special.
Amazing venue
My husband and I used FIVE Event Center as a wedding venue in September 2024. We loved the exposed brick and natural light, and the patio was a lovely lounge area for our guests. All of the staff were extremely professional, patient, and kind. My coordinator Robyn, was always happy to answer any and all of my questions. Moxy hotel is just a few blocks away, offering accommodations for out of town guests. Additionally, Cub Foods grocery store is also very close to FIVE Event Center, which made it super easy to go out and quickly grab any of those little things you may have forgotten for big events or even load up on extra snacks and beverages. I would definitely recommend FIVE for your next big event.
FIVE is where it’s at!
Having our wedding ceremony and reception at FIVE was our best decision ever! The space was absolutely beautiful and so romantic. Robyn was a pleasure to work with and made the planning process a breeze. Highly recommend the FIVE Event Center for your next event!
Awesome Venue
FIVE Event Center were incredibly easy to talk to and answered all of our questions promptly. Their team did an amazing job coordinating with our other wedding vendors to ensure everything ran smoothly on the big day. The rustic, industrial-chic space was a perfect fit for our wedding theme, and I received so many compliments from our guests on the beautiful and unique venue. I was especially grateful to have security on-site and a dedicated venue coordinator who was there to assist us throughout the entire event. FIVE Event Center truly contributed to making our wedding day everything we had dreamed of and more.
