I cannot emphasize enough that if you're even slightly considering booking an event here, take this as your definitive sign to go for it. We had the incredible fortune of celebrating our wedding here in October, and the entire experience was nothing short of extraordinary. Our wedding planner, Erica Ford, was an absolute gem. Working with her felt more like planning with a close friend who had our best interests at heart rather than a mere acquaintance. Her meticulous attention to detail and wealth of knowledge made the entire wedding planning process effortless. On the day of our wedding, Erica was a beacon of organization, ensuring everything flowed seamlessly. When they promise to have everything covered so you can simply arrive and enjoy, they truly mean it. From the moment we stepped into the venue until the final minutes of our celebration, our wedding day was an absolute delight. I can't sing enough praises for Erica and her exceptional dedication!Now, let me turn your attention to the culinary genius, Chef Root. Our tasting session was an absolute highlight (highly recommended!), and from that moment, we were captivated by our wedding menu. Our guests are still raving about the food! I was adamant about steering clear of typical banquet fare, and Chef Root masterfully crafted a personalized culinary experience for us. He made our event feel uniquely special, even bringing to life a dessert my husband had long dreamed of having at our wedding. His commitment and talent were truly an honor to experience.I must also highlight the incredible work of Leticia, the talented florist who curated the most stunning flowers for our special day. She's an absolute artist. Not only did she bring my vision to life, but she also transformed a collection of brooches I'd been gathering for years into a breathtaking bouquet. Her attention to detail, including the thoughtful incorporation of my late father, was incredibly touching. Leticia's dedication to making our day unforgettable was remarkable.Every individual we had the pleasure of working with at The Century and Nine3One was exceptional. I genuinely can't speak highly enough of our experience. I loved it so much that if I could, I'd relive it all over again. Without a doubt, any future events in my life will be hosted here. I've been enthusiastically recommending The Century and Nine3One to everyone I know. Trust me, booking your event here will be a decision you won't regret. Reviewed on 27-11-2023

Review for TatianaWe have been trying to write this honest review for weeks but life keeps happening. Our wedding at The Century was the best day of our lives it was all thanks to our amazing coordinator and our entire life line for this wedding, Tatiana, who made our experience unforgettable and so seamlessly easy. From decorations, to signage, and all the little details in between, we put our trust in her and she went above and beyond to make our vision come true. After our wedding, we received endless compliments about how much fun and how beautiful the whole event turned out. Not to mentioned she was SO awesome to hang out with throughout the whole process. No matter what request we had, she did it with a smile on her face and made every meeting we had together so fun. So from the bottom of our hearts Tati, Thank You So Incredibly Much! We love you and are so grateful for everything you did to make our day so special! With that being said, we highly recommend having your wedding/event at The Century. We were beyond satisfied with our experience and we really enjoyed working with the entire staff involved. Thank you guys!!! Reviewed on 02-11-2023

We had our dream fairytale wedding at The Century this October. It was the most amazing experience with our wedding planner Erica. She was attentive to all of our needs / changes & always kept us & our vendors in the loop. After rehearsal I felt even more prepared for our wedding day & walking down the aisle with Erica’s guidance. I had A LOT of questions & she answered them all gracefully & helped any stress I may have had wedding week. Wedding day was perfectly organized by our wedding planning team even when the bride (me) showed up late! They were prepared & again kept me calm & happy throughout our wedding day. We enjoyed our experience with the Century & will recommend them to all our friends & family! Reviewed on 17-10-2023

We cannot say enough great things about the Century! Everything was so perfect from the planning to the day of the wedding. Tatiana made sure everything was done accordingly and checked up on us constantly to make sure we weren’t missing anything. We had a very specific vision for our wedding and they exceeded our expectations. Everything was so so so perfect.Having our wedding at The Century made wedding planning enjoyable, they really took care of every detail.

We planned everything through zoom as I was in eastcoast and my husband was out of the country. Everything we envisioned for our wedding came to life and they even exceeded our expectation. The moment we got to the venue, everyone was in awe to see how charming and classy it all looked. and Our coordinator Allison and her team assisted us from beginning to end giving all their best to give us the best options and ideas to make our special day memorable for everyone.

Christina Praseuth(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-04-2022 My husband and I got married on April 9, 2022 - We’re both from the Bay Area, but I was born and raised in Modesto, CA. I felt a deep desire to get married somewhere close to my roots/my family and really wanted to showcase some of Modesto’s charming aspects to my outside guests and future in-laws.Choosing The Century was a no brainer - it was my first and only choice for a wedding venue. The venue is in the heart of downtown, in a beautiful historic building tucked away, and in walking distance from the DoubleTree hotel which was convenient to lodge traveling guests. The all inclusive service was another main selling point. This made my wedding planning as stress free as possible knowing all my vendors were a one stop shop and were in coordination of one another. Just showing up the day off with no worries or concerns was a real blessing! Big shoutout to our wedding coordinator Tatiana Lopez!!! She really is a professional and was a pleasure to work with. Multiple guests kept complimenting us on how smooth everything went the day of, and the wedding party was very pleased with their experience/interactions/directions with her as well. The Century and their vendors really took our vision and brought it to life. I wouldn’t change a thing regarding how it all turned out which is why I recommend 10/10 booking with The Century for your big day! Book with them! You won’t regret it :) Reviewed on 31-12-2022
Mai Yang(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-11-2022 Just got married at the century and let me tell you this venue is sooooo beautiful. 10 + stars. The service and team at the century are hands down the best even the food and bar drinks. I did not have to worry about a thing. My guests could not stop talking about this venue they wish my wedding didn’t end.So much fun! My coordinator Allison was incredible. She made the whole wedding planning an ease. Not only was Allison my coordinator but a high school friend. She made my vision come to life on my wedding day. Can’t thank Allison and the century team enough. You will not regret having your wedding at the century. Look no further and book the century. Will definitely be doing more events at the century in the future. Reviewed on 25-11-2022

Kayla Robleto(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-10-2022 Let me just say, I knew I wanted my wedding at The Century the moment I walked in to view it. It’s such a beautiful, intimate venue- perfect for a wedding. Anytime I went to view a different venue, that same night I would go on The Century’s instagram and awe at all their pictures; comparing everything to them. Overall, it’s actually pretty affordable and there’s always promotions going on for some good deals. I stalked their social media accounts and made sure to go to their open houses to score on their raffles: free appetizers and 30% off their base price. Fantastic deal! The big reason why I chose The Century was because of the all inclusivity. They literally take care of everything: venue, decor, floral, food, drinks, even DJ services!! And let’s not forget to mention they have the best wedding coordinators. We started off planning with Crystal. She is so sweet and attentive. From the very beginning, Crystal listened to every concern and question we had and always put us at ease. She’s so easy going and always supportive of our ideas. She helped us every step of the way, but at the end we had to switch to Tatiana and Meoshay. Leticia was our florist and she nailed my vibe completely! Literally brought my Pinterest board to life. To say that our wedding day was amazing is an understatement. When the day came, Tatiana was on top of every single detail and event that pertained to our timeline. She made the day so stress free and fun. We loved having her around to help with everything, especially our kids. She put out so many little fires throughout the night and we couldn’t be more thankful. I also MUST mention that Crystal and my husband planned to surprise me the night of our wedding and romantically decorate the hotel room. It was so beautifully done. We got so many compliments on the food and how bomb it was. Honestly when my husband and I renew our vows in 20+ years we would totally have it at The Century again and hopefully our wedding coordinators are still there! Haha. Reviewed on 25-10-2022

Camille Retiro(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-06-2022 My husband and I got married at The Century on June 25, 2022, and I have to say that we both absolutely looooooved our wedding ceremony and reception here! I stumbled upon this venue while scrolling around on Instagram and thought that it looked promising. We went to visit during one of their open houses, and the moment we walked through the door, we knew it was the one. Totallyyyyy our style and vibe. We booked almost instantly and from that moment on, it was smooth sailing. Our event director was Crystal and she helped keep us on track up until the big day! The venue itself is so beautiful on its own. We added our own personal touches and this just added to the whole urban-chic vibe of the place. They also offer additional options to really make your theme the star (like linens and chargers)! The day-of ran so smoothly thanks to Crystal, she and the rest of the team at The Century 100% know how to run their events. Our photographer also told us they appreciated how smoothly they transitioned the ballroom from the ceremony set-up to the reception set-up. In the beginning, we also wondered if we would be happy with the food and floral since we wouldn't get to choose external vendors for this, but we honestly LOVED our dinner so much (and we actually got to eat!), and the florist captured our Pinterest board TO A TEE! We opted to go with their preferred DJ as well, and he may have strayed a tiny bit from our original song choices, but he definitely still stayed in the realm of what we wanted to dance to. Overall, we couldn't be happier with how our wedding night turned out. Our 140 guests enjoyed the night and appreciated the beauty just as much as we did! Reviewed on 11-08-2022
Tracy Meredith(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-07-2022 Wedding planning can be stressful, time consuming, and it can turn a sweet natured girl into a bridezilla and create unnecessary fights between a blissfully, happy couple. With The Century, we never experienced any of that. No stress, no fights, no crazy bridezilla moments. Simply Bliss.The Century provided the most beautiful venue and the most amazing staff which included their fabulous wedding planner, Crystal. From the minute we met Crystal, we loved her. You could tell she had been doing this for years and was completely dialed in. She listened to our requests and made every single one happen. She provided insight, offered advice, and made the entire experience from beginning to end a wedding fairytale. The food was AMAZING!!! Let's be real, most brides hardly ever even eat at their wedding... but not me, I couldn't stop, the food was THAT AMAZING!!!The bartenders were rock stars! They kept the drinks flowing at a rapid pace with smiles on their faces!They worked with Flower Creations to bring to light my vision of beauty, using fresh and silk flowers (per my request) and the bridal and groom suites were decorated beautifully. We were able to get a few pictures in the Bridal Suite and they turned out gorgeous. The Century is a master of its trade! They truly turn a Pinterest board, magazine clippings, and the ramblings of a Bride and Groom into an event to remember. Reviewed on 08-08-2022

First, Tatiana was the best to work with, she was easygoing and professional from the start, but also firm and operated like a leader when it was necessary during the event. You couldn’t ask for a better coordinator to work with. All our expectations were Beyond met and then some. The food was 5 STAR, thanks again for the croquettes! :) The owner Erin has created one of the FINEST wedding venues in the valley.

Alexandra LR(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-05-2022 Courtney and Allison were lovely to work with from beginning to end! The venue itself is beautiful and I appreciated their willingness to let us add our own details as well. My husband and I were considering eloping, but we chose a small intimate wedding instead, and it was very important to us that everything is inclusive to reduce planning and stress. The price for an all-inclusive package cannot be beat (especially compared the Bay Area where we're from). Instead of having to find our own vendors, we got a planner, food, cake, DJ, and floral arrangements through The Century. There were a few snags, but Allison worked diligently to manage my anxiety and offer solutions. Overall this has been a wonderful experience and I wouldn't hesitate to send my friends over for their events here. Reviewed on 26-06-2022

Brandi Mitchell(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 11-12-2021 We had rescheduled our 1920's themed wedding twice due to Covid-19 and then the venue contracted with us closed. \"OMG! What are we going to do?\" We never thought The Century was within budget but were pleasantly surprised they could do everything we wanted AND be affordable! We worked with Allison to make our evening perfect. We booked the Alcove room with the breezeway for our very small wedding (35 people). She did cocktail seating in the Alcove room, and the bar and food tables were in the breezeway. It was a December wedding but you'd never know with how warm they were able to keep the breezeway with heaters. We did small bites (more accurate of the time period). We were able to use the wine barrel with the arch during the ceremony which was just *chef's kiss* perfect for the theme. The tables had empty decanters wrapped in pearls on them. Staff filled our wedding glass favors with beer for the toast for us. I award them 4 stars because Allison was easy to work with and had some really great ideas and the price was honestly fantastic. We deduct one star for the last-minute food substitutions (some items we chose were seasonal at the time we chose them and they had been replaced) so we got little burgers instead of sliders and we got little parfaits for dessert instead of petite fours. Not that big of a deal to us, but it might be to others. Fantastic service! I think you will love them. Reviewed on 24-02-2022

My husband loved that we only had to communicate with one person for all our needs and Tatiana was the best! She honestly made the planning so easy and stress free for us even with my husband's millions of questions. She was so punctual in her responses and reached out for every little detail. The centurw was beautiful and so many people gave us compliments on how well organized and beautiful everything looked. They staff helped us so much when it came to our worries anout COVID. We did not know what would happen, but the manager reassured us that they would respect prices, we would be able to reschedule and no additional cost, and made us feel better about the uncertainty. The dressing rooms were both great! The guys loved the complimentary beer and video games while my ladies enjoyed the champage and music. The florist was so kind and made sure my visison came alive. At no point did we feel we were just another client with money, we felt like they gave us their full attention and made our night exactly how we wanted. Tatiana went as far as letting me know the number of people showing up before our ceremony so that i could choose when i wanted to start. The ceremony went uninterrupted thanks to her closing the doors and opening them for other guests only after my ceremony was over. I give them my highest reccomendation! And we got a discount at the Double Tree hotel nearby for booking the venue! Reviewed on 08-01-2022

She was on top of everything at all times, always in contact to remind us of meetings, appts, etc. And on the day of, saw everything through and made sure to take as much stress off our plate as possible. The venue itself is beautiful, my only complaint was the floral/florist. Certain things came out Exactly how I wanted and others didn’t. I’m not sure if it was miscommunication between us but she did have Pinterest pictures as well so I’m really just not sure what happened there. Our arch and table settings all looked good but our sweetheart table arrangement, floral for signs and miscellaneous tables were not what I was expecting and honestly disappointing which is why i did not give 5 stars.

This was all thanks to the Century staff and in-house vendors’ help in every step of the way, from planning and set up, to take down and clean up. I was a very “chill, relaxed” bride (read: no idea how I wanted everything to look), and our planner Courtney really helped us envision the space and how things would look pulled together. This helped so, so much. Everyone did an incredible job, our florist Leticia, our caterer Chef Kathy, our DJ George with Sounds in Motion, and our photobooth coordinator as well.

Our wedding turned out beautifully at The Century. The food was great, the decor was beautiful. I would warn any couple to pay close attention to paperwork and communication. We chose the elopement plus package, which included 50 guests and 3 hours at the venue. They were GREAT to tailor the day to our needs. It is a great option for a cost effective wedding that is still magical and beautiful. In the end everything turned out great. They did cancel the photographer we had asked for due to conflicting dates on papers that I had already brought to there attention. They went above and beyond to fix the problem, which I was impressed and grateful for. The DJ also did not have the file for me walking down the aisle and came to ask me about it AS WE WERE LINING UP! We were able to get the file and it worked out but it is not the kind of stress you want right at that moment. There were a couple of other small things as well. I would definitely do it all again but would be much more on top of communication. Reviewed on 24-05-2019

Erin, the owner and the staff are professional and on top of everything. You can tell they are very passionate with what they do.
