  • Cute Venue and Great Price

    Plaza De Magdalena was a beautiful venue for our wedding. The reception space was lovely. While the ceremony area and bridal suite were a bit on the smaller side, the venue provided great value overall. The food was amazing, and they included all the tableware and linens, which was a nice perk. The venue coordinator, Patti, could have been more responsive which was the most frustrating part about choosing this venue. However, the rest of team still did a great job making our day special. The groom's dressing area was a bit unconventional, being in a storage room, but they made it look nice. Overall, we're so glad we went with Plaza De Magdalena - it was an affordable option with a beautiful reception space and exactly what we needed.

  • Great Place to Celebrate your Big Day!

    We had our reception at PDM and it was even better than I could have imagined. In the pre-big day planning, Patti was fantastic at answering any and all questions that we had as we got up to the big day. They made it easy for us to have a great day. The food was great, the service was great and I would highly recommend PDM for your reception or big event!
