Just booked our wedding at Keepsake and couldn’t be more excited! I have told everyone I know already but Heather has been a DREAM to work with. It makes us even more sure that we made the right choice when choosing our venue. She’s knowledgeable of the area, is extremely accommodating and such a breath of fresh air in this wedding planning process.

My husband and I had the privilege of being the first wedding held at Keepsake and it went off without a hitch! It can be very overwhelming planning a wedding, but Heather, the events coordinator, was extremely thorough, informative and accommodating throughout the entire planning process. The venue itself and the provided tables/seating/dinnerware were all tastefully done. The space provides for the perfect canvas to make it your own, while still showcasing its architecture. We ended up taking all of our wedding photos at the venue as well since there were so many options for really great backdrops, and they turned out even better than I could have imagined! The food was delicious and elevated from other venues that I’ve tried, which was an important factor for us when choosing a venue. The dance floor was spacious, the bar was centrally located for all guests and the bridal suite was large enough to fit all 10 of my bridesmaids! We were super impressed with how the everything went from the early planning stages to the after party and highly recommend any newly engaged couple to consider Keepsake for their dream wedding!

I attended this venues very first wedding this past weekend and everything went off without a hitch. The space is truly gorgeous, food was excellent and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Heather, the events director, is a pleasure to work with. For a venues very first event I was very impressed and can't wait to see how this space improves even more with time. Hope to be back here for many more events in the future!

My fiancé and I took a trip to this venue a while back and Christian was amazing. The venue isn’t finished yet so we will definitely be back in the springtime/summertime once it’s complete. Christian was very nice, responsive, helpful and was understanding to our needs and concerns in terms of planning our future wedding. We’re looking forward to coming back once everything is finished and we see more reviews on wedding experiences here!

The venue is not open yet and we have not booked but after reading the negative review here I wanted to come on and say I am strongly considering booking here and have had the exact opposite experience. Christian who is in charge of events answers every email and question I send to him within hours no matter how many I have and if he doesn't have an answer he researches right away.
