We couldn't be happier with 2016 Main! We had booked the venue for our September 2023 wedding. In March, we received an email saying that ownership had changed. My now husband and I were worried about what that change would look like. Upon talking and meeting with Nico, the new owner, we were instantly relieved. He has extensive experience in the service industry and offered up suggestions and ideas for our big day. He also has made lots of improvements to the venue as well. Our guests kept commenting on how great the space looked. His communication was top-tier and was a big part of why our wedding day went so smoothly! We booked the space for both our ceremony and reception and the venue accommodated both perfectly. I would recommend 2016 Main to any couple looking for a space for their wedding!

We could not be happier with our experience hosting our wedding at 2016 Main! The venue space and art is unique and the location in the crossroads is fantastic. The new owner, Nico, has made positive improvements to the space and the venue offerings over the last year. He was very easy to work with and responsive to our questions up until the last minute. Being able to host our ceremony there and have our reception go past midnight were two big perks. Reviewed on 27-09-2023
Anne Rogers(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-12-2022 I couldn't be more happy with the team at 2016 Main. Pat was wonderful to work with from the moment my now husband and I stepped inside for our first tour to the end of our wedding night. He kept things simple and put me at ease with his professionalism and knowledge of the wedding industry here in KC. His wife, Jodi, did our photography and was so great to work with as well. I got so many compliments on how beautiful the venue was during our wedding! 2016 Main is the place to get married if you're looking for a venue in downtown KC. Great location, great space, and GREAT staff. I wish we could do it all over again because it went by too fast!! Reviewed on 20-12-2022
Pene Havens(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-11-2022 You need to see 2016 Main before you make any decisions about where to hold your event! We had our rehearsal dinner here - about 90 people. It was a wonderful experience. The venue itself has a unique, fun vibe that many of the places we toured did not. It's not a space you need to come in and decorate. Look at the photo gallery and you'll see what I mean. All we did was add centerpieces to the tables and the caterer did their setups and the place looked great! Pat and Jodi were both such a pleasure to work with. They were quick with responses to my questions and had no problem with me coming to the venue multiple times before our event to check things out and go over questions. Our rehearsal at the church ended sooned than anticipated so I called Pat to see if we could start our event earlier than planned. He accomodated us even though it would definitely have been understandable if they couldn't. Don't miss this gem! Reviewed on 29-11-2022
Alyssa Trinkl(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-11-2022 2016 Main was the perfect venue for our wedding ceremony and reception in Nov. 2022. Pat and Jodi, the venue owners, were an absolute pleasure to work with from the beginning, and my husband-to-be and I felt an instant connection with them. We used Elite Sounds for the DJ, by Pat's recommendation, and they were also an amazing choice, who knew the venue well, and the sound system was great for isolating the music when need-be on the dance floor so that others in the other part of the venue could hear better. Pat provided great recommendations as we planned for the day, including how to set up the tables (squares vs. rounds), tablecloths, wine/beer selections, where to set up the food/buffet, parking, etc. He knows his venue, and it was great to have someone we could trust. We were able to get in at 10:30 a.m. in the morning, and were out before midnight, and the day was a breeze because of all of our coordination. Pat was responsive, easy to work with and available on the day, and utterly kind throughout the process. We even had a mishap with one of our floating vases on the floor after the ceremony (someone tripped and it broke and spilled!) and he caused no major fuss and he and his team cleaned it right up.The venue itself is also stunning – from the greenery wall, to the brick walls that can be customized with artwork of your own to the white 3D wall perfect for photo-ops – and Pat was amenable to all of our ideas as we were developing our \"aesthetic.\"We couldn't have found a more perfect venue.

Amanda Richey(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-11-2022 We had the MOST blissful wedding day at 2016 Main. Pat and Jodi are so incredible to work with and they truly made our day feel so special. From giving us suggestions for setup/transition/logistics, to accommodating any special request we had, to sharing in our happiness on our big day, we couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to celebrate. They were also extremely flexible with allowing us to drop things off the day before and were kind enough to hold on to things for us even days after the event. Many of our guests complimented us on the beauty of the space and the friendliness of Pat and the bar staff. Pat & Jodi aside, the area outside the venue have some great views of downtown & the Western Auto sign, a KC landmark. I wish we could relieve it all over again - I wouldn't change a thing! Thank you Pat & Jodi!! Reviewed on 13-11-2022

Tricia Hueffmeier(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-07-2022 2016 Main Event Space was a true dream for our wedding reception!We did things a little different than the traditional reception and decided to do more of a cocktail party which entailed passed apps when guests arrived, then food stations for several dinner options and we had plenty of cocktail tables along with a hand full of large round tables. We also had 3 different areas of soft seating which the venue already had and just arranged around the room so guest could enjoy comfortable seating during the party. The dance floor was right in the middle of it all which was so much fun!Our guests still haven’t stopped talking about the beautiful event space and the art gallery which was such a unique aspect of the space.Pat was amazing to work with and truly brought our vision to life while making the process extremely smooth and stress free. Not only this, but if you need a photographer then Jodi Vander Woude also runs her photography studio out of the space so booking both of them for our wedding weekend was the smartest thing we did because the weekend went so smoothly and having both of them working as a team really made things easy on all of us!The weekend was perfect and we couldn’t suggest a better location if you’re looking for a event space!

Hannah Orelove(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 31-12-2021 Where to begin. Planning a wedding during a pandemic is hard but having Omicron hit 2 weeks before your big day COULD have been even worse if you werent partnering with Pat. Incredibly responsive, helpful and professional with a Type A bride was his strong suit. Throughout the process, Pat was available every time we flew in town for venue visits, vendor meetings and just to chat. We had our ceremony, reception AND day after brunch there and everything was flawlessly executed. It was rare there was something we threw at him that he couldn’t do or make work. If you’re reading this review and are looking for: a more industrial look with an artsy feel + string lights, super easy and down to earth owners and the perfectly priced venue where you actually get what you pay for, look no further. 2016 Main was the best decision we made for our wedding.

Sam Orelove(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 31-12-2021 First, the space itself was fantastic and exactly what we were looking for (my then fiance literally teared up when we saw it for the first time). Perfect if you don't want to invest a ton in decorating a blank slate because it's perfect as is. More importantly, however, working with Pat was an absolute pleasure. He knows his space like the back of his hand, is incredibly responsive, and just an awesome, fair, and down-to-earth guy. We genuinely consider him a friend now!

Ginny Moore(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-12-2021 My daughter was getting married and my husband, soon to be groom and I all started looking at venues. The bride wanted something chic and and beautiful. This venue didn't disappoint. The brick walls and high ceilings are just beautiful. The venue is well kept and I loved the lay out. We had a dance floor, sitting/dinning area and food serving area that they each had their own special nook but still open to each other. Pat the owner was super easy to work with. Met us with the caterer a week early for some last minute details. The venue was open early the day of and Scott the bartender was simply amazing. We need up tipping Scott extra at the end because he was going above and beyond. It was important to us that break down didn't happen until the end and Pat listen to us and made sure that the party continued until our agreed upon time Pat and Scott worked as a team at the end of the night and even asked if we needed help bringing item to the car. We forgot a few items and Pat was easy to get a hold of and he met us at the venue the next day. I would highly recommend this venue, bartender and owner. This comes from someone that had high expectations and they were met. Reviewed on 24-12-2021
Margaret Miller(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-11-2021 You can stop looking for a venue - 2016 Main is IT!! When we first walked in to this space, I knew right away that I wanted to get married there! It is STUNNING. Exposed brick, hardwood floors, greenery wall, gorgeous decorative white wall, artwork...you name it, they've got it! You probably didn't realize that you want a collage wall filled with formal dog portraits at your wedding, but I can assure you that YOU DO, and 2016 Main has it! We loved this space for so many reasons, but a big deciding factor was because we didn't have to rent any extras! I'm not exaggerating when I say that all we did was add flowers and votives on the tables, rent some linens, and the space looked fully decorated and GORGEOUS! My pictures are beautiful and so so elegant!The owners, Pat and Jodi, will forever be 2 of my very favorite people. They are SO MUCH FUN! They are laid back and will make you feel relaxed and at ease, while also being extremely attentive, focused on details, and quick to communicate. I sent Pat so many questions and changed so many things, and he was always so great about it and responded right away! Pat also acted as our day-of-coordinator. He contacted all of my vendors and arranged everything. I didn't get peppered with any last minute questions from vendors and everyone showed up on time and had everything we needed! Everyone always says that something will go wrong on your wedding day, but honestly, I can't think of ANYTHING that went wrong, and I know that that is in major part due to all of Pat and Jodi's help and planning both leading up to the big day, as well as their assistance the day of! I can't stop re-living the day and looking at our pictures of the venue. Now that the wedding is over, I'm honestly trying to think up a reason to rent the space all over again just to have an excuse to hang out with Pat and Jodi and be surrounded by so much elegance and beauty again. In case I didn't drive the point home, THIS is the venue you want and THESE are the people you want helping you plan! Make your appointment ASAP and go ahead and cancel the others...this is the only space you'll need to see. Take it from the bride who toured 14 wedding venues... ;) Reviewed on 15-11-2021

From our initial contact with Patrick, to tours and the several questions I sent over the past year the planning process was stress free. It was clear from the beginning that Patrick and Jodi take great pride in their space and their ability to host. A few weeks before our wedding we met with Patrick and he walked us through our day including the details. He then asked for all of our vendor contacts and reached out to each- caterer, florist, bakery, etc. He answered all of their venue questions and directed day-of set-up. This was SO helpful. The entire day was executed flawlessly by the couple. I haven’t even mentioned the venue itself. The space is charming and functional, but the details such as Jodi’s displayed photography truly set it over the top. They were present during our entire reception to ensure our night was everything we could have dreamt.

From chatting with Pat, we can tell he was all about us and wanted to make our day special. They communicated with us from the first time meeting (year prior) to even checking on us during our Honeymoon. I would recommend using every one of their vendors that they recommend.

The space itself is stunning and has so many different vibes: from the white squares wall to the brick to the greenery wall, there are a variety of backdrops for photos or different vendors. We loved the elegant yet urban feel. Bar service was so quick and all of our guests loved their drinks. They made the room flip from ceremony to the reception a breeze. We loved picking out artwork from their collection to hang as extra decor on the walls too. The location is perfect with easy access to hotels right across the street, ample parking in back, and streetcar access. But most of all, the owner (Pat) was absolutely incredible working with us on changes due to covid-19. From scaling down our wedding size to adjusting the timeframe the week of our wedding due to new city restrictions, he made everything so easy despite all-time high stress levels. He made sure we still had the wedding of our dreams despite all the changes announced by the city mere days before our event. The day-of coordinator made sure everything flowed perfectly, from lighting a million candles on the tables to queuing the bridal party processional. We truly have zero complaints or regrets about 2016 Main. In fact, we originally wanted a different month for our wedding date, but ended up picking our wedding date based on 2016 Main’s availability after falling in love with the space on a tour.

Unfortunately we had to postpone our original date of April 18th to October 9th due to COVID. Pat was easy and available to work with during the reschedule process as it was a bit of a scramble. He wanted our day to be perfect as much as we did. The planning was easy, but Pat really shined during the reception. He knew how to keep the event running smoothly between the band and the caterer and anticipated when there was any type of need. We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Pat and Jodi. Our guests were mostly from out of town and couldn't stop complimenting the space and the reception itself, much of which was made possible by Pat. Looking back at the planning process, I can't emphasize enough how important it is to have willing and able vendors to work with.

Alana Grater(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-09-2020 From the moment I walked in to 2016 and met Pat, and his wife Jodi, I knew that this was the space for me. I was able to picture what I thought my wedding would look like, how it would feel and this was largely in part due to Pat. I'm from the KC area, but live in Austin, TX so I knew that I was going to have my hands full planning a remote wedding, but Pat assured me he was there to help however he could; and he did. Any question I had be it around vendors, seating charts, or the flow of the day, he gave honest, thoughtful opinions that helped shaped the day into something special. When COVID hit, Pat reached out to not only give us updates as to how things in KC were going (since we weren't there to follow), he continued to assure me that nothing would deviate from what I was imagining. Pat and Jodi made sure our day was exactly what I wanted but didn't know. They welcomed our idea of bringing in paintings by my husband's late grandfather and found ways to beautifully incorporate them into the space so they were part of awe that we had.If you're looking for a venue that feels like magic, is elegant and charming, and has people there who genuinely care about how you and your family are, I cannot recommend 2016 Main enough. If you want to throw the wedding that all of your friends afterwards say \"that's the best wedding I've ever been to\" then this is your place. And if you want to be around some of the most amazing people then look no further. Pat and Jodi are fantastic, and I'm so happy that I got to know them through this. Reviewed on 18-10-2020

And can I say cool? Like you'll want to be friends with them. Ha!They were able to adjust to our needs and made everything so easy for us. For a stressed-out bride.. I'd prescribe Pat and Jodi, and all at 2016 Main Event Space & Art Gallery as your right-hand crew. You will get exactly what you want, and exactly what you paid for.Just to give you an example.. for our bar package we wanted a signature drink requiring raspberry tea. Well.. pat couldn't find any raspberry tea at the store, so he BREWED HIS OWN with fresh iced tea and raspberries! OK, no one gives this kind of customer service anymore. Just an example of the extra mile that they will go for you.And as a last note- if you want a contemporary, quirky, modern, yet classic and antique feel for a venue.. this is it. Look no further! All elements are there for a perfect Ceremony and Reception space. Reviewed on 22-09-2020

We loved working with Pat; every question that we had or idea that we had for the reception Pat was open to them all and was so communicative!

erica lee(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-08-2020 As a covid bride planning has been a nightmare. Originally, we were supposed to be married in June in Mexico. Luckily, we had 2016 Main booked for the reception back home. After Mexico was cancelled we knew it was time to plan for the whole ceremony and reception to be held in Kansas City. Nervous at first, but once I met Pat and his wife Jodi to go over things a weight was lifted off my shoulder. They truly went out of their way to make sure our day went smoothly. I've been in, and also to a lot of weddings and this venue takes the cake! I really cannot say enough good things about the space and owners! They also work very well with the vendors, we used Ultrapom and Wildhill for our florist and rentals... OK ill stop rambling but I have so many great things to say about 2016 Main.

Offered us each a drink, and walked us through all the details. Because of COVID regulations, we had to postpone our reception, and Pat was extremely accommodating and fair through the process. When the day came for the reception, Pat was on top of everything. He got things set up, and worked with us so well! The event ran beautifully and smooth, and Pat was there the whole time to make sure that we were doing well. After the event was over, he even took my phone call (this was around midnight), and helped me look for something that was left at the venue. This venue is beautiful, and Pat was great!

They were easy to get ahold of and they worked with us throughout the whole planning period. Pat and Jodi are sweet, thoughtful, helpful, and made everything go exactly as we had hoped. The venue is absolutely gorgeous - to the point that you don’t need to buy a ton of decorations to dress it up (#savethatmoney). It’s in a great location with lodging, food, and tourist attractions nearby for out-of-town guests. It’s on the streetcar loop so transportation is easy. What more could you possibly want?!?!

Pat and Jodi catered to every request we had, in a laid-back but timely and professional way. Pat is a true expert in the field (he regularly attends shows to get the latest & greatest), and he runs his business like a well-oiled machine. Jodi has an artist's eye...which is partly why the space is so photogenic!

But just like falling in love, we realized that looks aren’t even the best part. There is so much beauty there that you don’t see in a tour. Pat, Jodi, and Scott were so easy and fun to work with and they treated us with love every step of the way. Every want, need, or concern was addressed. They allowed us to visit whenever we needed during the planning process.

Aside from being a truly beautiful, eclectic, unique, not to mention FUNCTIONAL space, that has been built and decorated with heart and soul that you can truly feel when being in the space, the owners are what won us over. Literally anything I needed they were able to provide me with. Pat, and his wife Jodi, truly went above and beyond making sure to do anything in their power that would decrease stress on our end. This didn't just include the day of, where Pat took care of and communicated with all my vendors - I didn't even have to blink an eye - but leading up to our wedding as well. I changed my mind on multiple things not long before our wedding, some last minute items included, one of which being what shape tables I wanted to use. They were beyond accommodating.On the day of, not all of my linens arrived. Pat completely took care of it and was in full communication with that vendor, I didn't have to do a thing.

Our daughter got married here a couple weeks ago and it was a disaster .The room was not set up on time or correctly ( he couldn't even get the head table set up for the proper amount of people) He was rude to all involved with the wedding party both during the rehearsal dinner where he promised us 2 hours but upon arrival he informed us we would need to be quicker than 2 hours because he had concert tickets and he was NOT going to be late. He was rude to us during set up (after him being 20 minutes late) He refused to give a 6 year child a drink because \"Drinks were not included in the contract\ Reviewed on 23-11-2019
Robin Austin(parent)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-10-2019 Disappointing. Venue owner Pats attitude very poor. Began after $$$ was received for venue. He cut short time alotted for rehearsal so HE could make a concert.... Venue was not set up on time which sat us back decorating. Venue owner Pat had issue with offering a soda to a 5 year old (the brides sister) while getting venue ready and stated was not included in the contract (a .05 soda out of the soda gun). Venue owner Pat was rude to parents, brides and relatives throughout the whole event (he even made the bride cry..on her wedding day!) Was told by others that he picked through the buffet with his fingers...ew. He started picking up OUR chargers slamming them around noticably disgruntled in front of guests while setting at tables. Pats unprofessionalism during one of the best days in our daughters life was uncalled for. As a Mom I spent the whole evening trying to keep peace as my daughter deserved one of the best days in her life to go perfect. Left the venue that night with mixed feelings of happiness for the occasion and total anxiety on Pat, the venue owners part. Venue is pretty, but the customer service was gone once money was in hand. Parking is confusing as it is not marked and limited. I would include parking locations with invitations. I also would not invite 250 people as stated this venue will hold. We had 135 and it was crowded. Just be forwarned, for the amount you spend for this venue you should be treated as the appreciated client you expect to be. Reviewed on 20-11-2019
Lauren Austin(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-10-2019 My experience with this venue and it’s owners was awful. Pat, the owner of the venue, was the only problem we had all night and the only reason I do not recommend 2016 Main. The customer service received by him far outweighed any beauty the venue brought to the table. The amount of stress and overall bad vibes he added to our day was completely uncalled for considering the amount of money we spent for the venue. If you do choose 2016 Main for your wedding day, I highly suggest that you request Scott as your day of contact/help in the venue. Had it not been for him stepping in for Pat and saving the day, our wedding could have been a disaster. From the start of the day, Pat walked into the venue angry and spread bad vibes to everyone in his presence. I personally witnessed Pat being very disrespectful and rude to our family who was there setting up. He barged into the girls bridal suite without knocking – a place where the bridesmaids were getting dressed and ready and someone could have very easily been naked. When my Dad finally pulled him aside to confront him on the way he was acting, I personally heard that he was ONLY concerned that we would now be leaving bad reviews for him. Eventually my mother in law had to ask him to leave the venue because he was putting a huge damper on the entire day. This is where Scott came in and was everything we needed him to be. During the actual wedding, I personally witnessed myself and was also told by several guests that they saw Pat sticking his fingers into our buffet and eating food – thinking no one was looking. At the end of the night, all of our desserts suspiciously ended up in the trash. No one from my family of myself did this, we actually set them assigned in a designated area to take home. Considering the night was so busy, we didn’t get to actually eat any of the desserts so this was super disappointing to us. Our contract was to have the venue until 1130, yet Pat started cleaning up and taking down decorations to the venue at least an hour and a half before that while guests were still there having a good time. Its really unfortunate that things went down the way they did. Its unfortunate that the service and friendliness did not follow us on the most important day of them all. I hope Pat learns from his mistakes from our wedding and does not make another couple go thru the day like we did. They may have experience with hundreds of weddings, but don’t allow them to treat you like you’re just another number. There are way too many options in Kansas City to settle, so don’t with this one. Pat is only concerned with getting a good review, there is no genuineness behind his actions. Reviewed on 13-11-2019

We found 2016 Main after looking at about ten venues, all of which were okay but didn’t have the right feeling. When we walked into 2016 Main with the hardwood floors, exposed brick, beautiful lights strung all across the room, the art work, the beautiful bathrooms, the wall of greenery and of course, the bar - we were sold. Pat was great to work with with a contract that was clear, bar packages that would fit every budget (though I recommend open bar), flexibility with timing for our wedding including the girls getting ready at the venue, and there is handicap access. Pat allowed us to bring anything we needed the day before to alleviate some stress on the day of and he contacted all of our vendors to schedule when they would be arriving to set up and prepare for our wedding. However, the best part about the space is you do not have to do ANYTHING, the space speaks for itself. We did white linens and one simple plant on each table and that was it.

Pat and Jodi were late to almost every meeting - once I was waiting for 45 minutes. We found Pat to be very curt and on my wedding day he ignored a request from my bridesmaid as he gave a tour to prospective clients. When my wedding coordinator pointed this out to him, he later came in to the bridal suite while our hair and makeup was being done to confront me about the complaint. Instead of apologizing for ignoring my bridesmaid, he stood over me while I was sitting in my robe and said \"so I heard I was being a d***.\" I was incredibly uncomfortable and caught off guard. After we all said we didn't know what he was talking about, he shrugged it off and walked away.

Cara Petrie(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-06-2018 I cannot stress how EASY Pat and Jodi were to work with for our wedding reception! The entire process with 2016 Main was seamless and stress free! They answered all of my questions promptly and gave the best suggestions! The 2016 Main Venue is great for hosting a wedding - we had roughly 170 guests but could have fit more easily - all the guests could see and hear without feeling like anyone was pushed to the sides. One of my favorite perks is that the sound system can be zoned in different areas of the venue meaning my great aunts/uncles stayed the entire time because they could talk in the back and still see the dance floor - they LOVED that! I can tell you that Pat and Jodi honestly care about each and every couple they work with - we loved how much time they put into our wedding and we will be visiting them on First Fridays!

Brenton Gumminger(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-04-2018 Words cannot express the love we have for this event space. Ever since we walked in during a First Friday's evening, it immediately grabbed our attention. We knew this had to be where we exchanged vows. They welcomed us with open arms since the first day we toured the space. Patrick and Jodi genuinely believe in love and wish nothing but the best in your journey as you plan for your special day. They want it to be perfect in any way possible. The space worked fabulous for our guests and with their new space addition, gave plenty of room for tables! We truly love the city vibe intermixed with modern styling that this gallery provides. We will forever be grateful for the generosity, love, passion, and professionalism that 2016 Main gave us for our wedding day. As we grow old together, we will always cherish the day we said, \"I Do\" against the beautiful green wall. Look no further if you are considering this venue for your ceremony and/or reception. It is so beautiful and as the crew work tirelessly to make it as special as you dreamed it to be, you'll enjoy every minute! Jodi Vander Woude Photography is also a great selection when choosing a photographer for your day! Having worked with her, I know how much she obsesses over love and that passion fuels her work. It is no doubt that you'd make a great choice in picking her to share in your day! Plus, the Venue/Photographer discount package is also nice! <3 Reviewed on 10-06-2018
Kelsey Beckman(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 31-03-2018 I had so many people tell me the space we had both the ceremony and reception was gorgeous! The greenery wall was a beautiful backdrop for the ceremony and the lovely dark wood floors made a great dance floor. Our wedding was in March 2018 and was the first full event to be using their updated space! The addition with the super cool white textured wall was a great spot for food during cocktail hour but it was mostly everyone's favorite for pictures afterwards. The new bridal suite was great for getting ready; it was cozy, had plenty of space, and like the rest of the event space has the best style. The fact that the space is an art gallery gives every wedding that happens there their own unique touch. But above all else, Pat and Jodi were the greatest! They were there for anything we needed and were quick to answer any email questions I sent their way. They're amazing people and helped me multiple times in the wedding planning process when I was feeling confused or overwhelmed. I can't say enough about how 2016 Main helped make our special day the best it could be! Reviewed on 10-04-2018

Calla R(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-07-2017 The absolute best decision we made while wedding planning was choosing 2016 Main as our venue. We loved the space the moment we entered it and it was the perfect backdrop for our big day. We received countless compliments from our friends and family on how unique and beautiful 2016 Main is. The physical space sells itself, but the most special part of our booking with 2016 Main was the top-notch, personalized service we received from Pat and Jodi (our photographer). Pat and Jodi made us feel like family from the beginning. Pat responded to all of my questions quickly through the wedding planning process. He stepped in on the day of the wedding to fix many issues when our caterer dropped the ball several times. He was constantly present during the ceremony and reception to check in on us. He's a true professional and goes above and beyond for his brides and grooms. My husband and I could not have imagined a more perfect wedding day and that is due largely in part to Pat, Jodi, and 2016 Main. We love them dearly and hope to one day host baby showers and the rest of life's big moments in their special space :) You will not regret booking with 2016 Main! Reviewed on 26-08-2017

I didn’t step foot in the space until a couple months after we booked it, but I was awed by the beauty of it- the brick, art on the walls, the bar, the feel, the light. I just knew we were in the right place. Pat and Jodi were the biggest help to us throughout our planning giving open and honest feedback and suggestions. All emails were responded to promptly. They were very willing to meet with me any time I was in town even if we had to squeeze it in. They really do go above and beyond! The day before our wedding they were painting pillars because they were dirty from the week before. They treated us as if we were their family.

The planning process was such a breeze. They are laid-back and accommodating, they continued to bend over backwards to make sure we got exactly what we wanted from beginning to end.The space is gorgeous and is perfect without a single addition, but they allow you to customize everything to make it your own. For our wedding, the space was open the day before, so we were able to come early to set up ahead of time (Which was a HUGE help for us!) and Pat was there pulling out tables, moving artwork, and helping direct traffic to make sure we were ready for the reception.The ultimate was the wedding itself. When our caterers fumbled and didn't have enough help, Pat and Jodi jumped in to assist, busing tables, refilling water glasses, and at one point, were even flipping french toast in the kitchen! The magical part, is that we didn't discover there were ANY issues until the next day! Such a great value for the service, and incredible space.

ashley lukas(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-06-2017 Sadly I did not have the best of experiences firsthand with this particular venue. I had scheduled a walk thru and even confirmed the meeting but no one was ever there to meet me or answer any calls inquiring on what the problem may be and unfortunately did not hear anything back until 5 days later. I was looking forward to seeing the place to possibly book with them but have been left still searching.***Update: The owner reached out to graciously remedy the problem and the effort has been noted and greatly appreciated. My mother had a good initial interaction with the owner and his wife prior to when I was hoping to meet them which is to be considered and after emails back and forth recently I do believe they will do what is necessary to help a bride in need or in stress. My review is speaking of what is currently happening and I hope to continue improving my review of this particular vendor in my continued talks with them.*** Reviewed on 22-03-2017

Pat and Jodi were absolutely incredible from the moment we met them to the clean up on the day after our wedding. They were so accommodating and complimentary to us as well as our guests. Pat really takes the initiative to communicate with vendors in order to make sure your wedding day runs smoothly. I was absolutely floored when I entered the event space on the morning of my wedding to see that so much was already done! Not only are Pat and Jodi (as well as their staff) absolutely amazing, but their event space is breathtaking. Their space is the perfect combination of the classic, eclectic Crossroads feel while being so elegant all at the same time. Things are constantly being changed and updated to keep their space fresh and interesting. It really is all about the details -which is probably why the bar and bridal suite were my favorite elements. If you are on the fence about this space, don't be! Pat and Jodi are so down to earth and they will take care of you in every way. Reviewed on 22-03-2017
