I would highly recommend the Luminaire to every bride!! Outside of the fact that the venue is absolutely beautiful and well taken care of, the staff at The Luminaire was incredible! During the planning process, they were always quick to answer any questions or concerns I had. It felt like they were just as excited as we were about our wedding day and it really made the whole process that much more exciting. On our actual wedding day, everything was so easy and they did an amazing job helping bring our wedding vision to life. They checked on us often and always made sure we had what we needed and checked on how I was feeling which showed they truly care about their wedding couples. We honestly could not have picked a better venue and team to work with! Reviewed on 06-01-2024

The Luminaire is so beautiful and all my dreams came true! A very modern venue and wonderful staff and very understanding!! We booked our wedding date 1 year and 7 months in advance! And whenever we needed them or had questions we had no issue to get in contact with them. The packages they have make planning so much easier, no need to look all over for vendors as they have the main ones in the package and they are worth it! I definetly recommend The Luminaire you wont regret it! Our wedding day was so amazing! If I could relive it all over again I would do it the same way at the same venue! Thank you Luminaire for such an amazing memory that my husband and I were able to create! Reviewed on 22-09-2023
Jordan McIntosh(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-09-2022 The Luminaire was an absolute dream venue to have our wedding! The owners and staff are amazing and so easy to work with. They truly love their jobs and the people that book with them. The entire space is beautiful, inside and out. We can't recommend this venue enough! Reviewed on 23-03-2023
Ashley Slaughter(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 31-12-2022 The Luminaire is a beautiful venue with fantastic staff! My daughter fell in love immediately with the contemporary, versatile vibe of The Luminaire. It is the perfect canvas for any style of wedding. Their staff was so welcoming and efficient. The day of was perfect and they were always checking on us to make sure we had everything we needed. The bridal sweet is spacious and beautiful. The grooms house is perfect for the guys to hang out and relax. The grounds are so pretty…we had a winter wedding so we didn’t get to experience the beauty of all the greenery and blooming flowers but there are still places to take good outdoor pictures regardless of season. The circle bar is a great feature, allowing guests to be served from both the foyer and the ballroom. The chapel is stunning and the lighting at night was just beautiful. Thank you to The Luminaire staff for helping to make my daughters wedding day perfect! Reviewed on 12-01-2023
Kimberly Stroud(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-11-2022 The Luminaire was the perfect place for our wedding! The venue itself is beautiful and once it was all set up on our big day, it was perfect! Our entire experience from the tour of the venue a year and a half ago to the wedding this past weekend was amazing! We chose to select an all inclusive package that included the venue space, food catering (Churrasco's), cake (Cakes by Gina), flowers (Bramble and Bee), and DJ. They made it very easy to set up the meetings with each of our vendors that were included. The venue has a contract with a bar and they set you up with a meeting with them as well to select what you want and you pay that separately. We had 3 meetings with our event planner, Mary, in the year leading up to our wedding that were all very helpful. I was one who asked for lots of suggestions and she was always more than happy to help! Mary was also our day of coordinator and we can not thank her enough for making our day so great!! Our event manager, Rachel, was also so helpful and running all around for us the day of! I would 1000% recommend The Luminaire! Reviewed on 10-11-2022
Kayla Chandler(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-09-2022 The Luminaire exceeded our expectations as our wedding venue. Not only is the venue stunning (as expected), but the customer service is beyond amazing. Mary, our in-house wedding coordinator, went above and beyond to help make our wedding day perfect. She's very good at what she does and completely understood my vision from the start. From the planning process to the actual wedding day, she was with me every step of the way to make sure my vision came to life. Rachel, the venue manager, was also amazing and helped us in any way she could. Even the venue owner, Balie, was super helpful and stopped by on our wedding day to give us her best wishes. Literally, the entire staff was a joy to work with and made the entire process enjoyable. I can not recommend this venue enough!! Reviewed on 16-10-2022
Savannah Mucci(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-07-2022 From start to finish, working with The Luminaire (and specifically Mary) was an amazing experience. They are on their A game. Obviously the venue is beautiful and so versatile, the bridal sweet is comfortable and easily fits the wedding party, and the grooms suite leaves the men entertained for hours. There packages are also very versatile and in my opinion very reasonably priced. The only thing on the package I wasn’t super in love with was the catering (All Star Catering). It just felt like The Luminaire itself was on a higher level of class than the catering. However, other than that, five stars all the way around. If you want a relaxing, smooth, FUN, wedding, then this is the place to go! Mary and the whole staff are so sweet, accommodating, and above all else professional! I wish I could have a wedding there every month <3 Reviewed on 09-10-2022
Kathy Vingoe(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-06-2022 When we started touring venues for our daughter's wedding, the Luminaire was the first one we visited, and we didn't want to see any others. We knew this was the one!! From the moment we drove up past the lakefront and saw the venue, we were in awe of its beauty. Leslie was very welcoming during our tour, giving us the history while not leaving out any details of what they offered. We were in awe of the areas within - the chapel, bridal suite, groom's suite, reception area, as well as the well-maintained grounds it is on. Other staff members there were also so very friendly and professional. After touring a few more, we knew The Luminaire was the place to be and booked it as soon as we could so as not to lose the chance at the date our daughter had chosen. Over the next several months of planning, the staff was quick in responding to all of our calls and emails and offered many suggestions along the way. Our venue coordinator, Sheena, was the absolute best to work with! She was very efficient, professional, and always quickly responded to all of our inquiries. When the wedding day arrived, everything at The Luminaire was exactly as planned from the very beginning until the very end. With the other vendors we had chosen along with our wedding planners, everything came together exactly as we planned and how we imagined, making this day more than just a memorable occasion, but also the wedding day of our daughter's dreams! We would not have changed one thing or had it any other way and are so thankful to the staff of The Luminaire and their beautiful wedding venue! Reviewed on 14-07-2022
Melanie Cosme(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-01-2022 We knew as soon as we were on our tour that The Luminaire was the one we were going to choose. The layout is beautiful, the indoor/outdoor feel was what we were looking for for cocktail hour and the grooms suite being just as nice as the bridal suite was really important to us! We met Leslie on our tour and she was so sweet and kind. Then we signed and got to have Mary as our planner! I cant say enough good things about Mary!! She worked with us through planning meetings and taught us things we would’ve never thought about. She helped us stay organized and come up with new ideas. The week of our wedding, Mary was absolutely phenomenal, when I didn’t think it could be better than it already was! She was in constant communication with me for my millions of questions that I would think of while getting ready for the wedding weekend and took care of anything we needed. She helped us with our rehearsal and it was awesome getting to feel that she was just as excited as we were about our wedding! The day of though, Mary blew us away! There was no stress the entire day, everything ran on time perfectly, if not early, on our schedule! Mary was so sweet and truly took care of us like family on our wedding day. We had so much fun celebrating with her and couldn’t have made our dream wedding come true without Mary and The Luminaire!! 💛💛 Reviewed on 01-02-2022

Every vendor they hand select was a dream to work with. Plus with having so many vendors chosen it really helped in the planning process!

Cydnee Baker(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-07-2021 The first time my husband and I met one of the owners, Leslie, I knew we had found a gem. She gave us a tour of the luminaire before they were even finished. We could see the modern vision for this venue and we trusted they would deliver. And boy did they deliver. Picking a package was easy and the vendors in their packages are top notch. The package we got came with a wedding planner/coordinator. Mary David literally took care of everything. All my questions, no matter how dumb I thought they were, she thoroughly answered. She was attentive to our wedding style and vision. The day of the wedding, we talked about table numbers and that’s it. I gave her the extra decor I bought for the day of and she seamlessly put everything where I envisioned it. The luminaire will forever have a special place in our hearts! We cannot thank them enough for making our special day the best day of our lives💜Also, shout out to their day-of staff!

Ira Perez(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-11-2020 First of all, if you love the peaceful serenity of a lakeside forest, The Luminaire is the venue for you. We planned an outdoor wedding, but the weather had other plans for us. Fortunately, the venue's chapel -- with its high ceilings, lovely lighting, and impressive floor-to-ceiling windows behind the altar area -- was a gorgeous back-up location.Just as important, the Luminaire team runs their operation like a well-oiled machine, even though the venue opened only a month or so prior to our November wedding. They respond to emails promptly (even if you don't return the favor 😬), they were understanding/accommodating of our deep anxiety regarding COVID risks (I lost my father to COVID in August 2020 and didn't want to risk spreading it to anyone else), and they work to make sure your wedding day is everything you and your partner hope it will be. HUGE thanks to Balie, Leslie, and the rest of the team (and, of course, our amazing planner) for taking care of literally everything so that my partner and I could focus on the most important part of the day -- celebrating our love for each other.

Annie Bradley(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-11-2020 We had the wedding of our dreams at the The Luminaire. From the moment we booked, the Luminaire team made us feel like family. Leslie, Balie, Carl, and Travis exceeded my expectations in every category. They provided a list of preferred vendors which were reasonably priced & all had outstanding reviews- I was super happy with the vendors that we decided to go with. Their online portal made payment super easy, & the private facebook group Luminaire Brides was an awesome way to ask questions & see what other brides were doing for their weddings. The team really goes above & beyond to make your experience with them very special & personalized. Our whole wedding experience was so amazing, especially during COVID. We booked the venue when they were still building in February & when COVID hit they made us feel so at ease. We literally had no concerns because of how quick they were to answer questions, & to reassure us that they would be with us every step of the way, no matter what happened. We loved all the complements that friends, family, and even our vendors were giving us on how beautiful the venue was. It made us feel on top of the world! It's been almost two months since we were married and our guests are still raving about how perfect our day was.I can’t thank Leslie, Balie, Carl, Travis & the rest of the team enough!!

We have had the pleasure of meeting the owners of The Luminaire a year ago and have been able to see this venue come to life while they have put in all of the hard work, passion, and dedication. We were able to have our first wedding with the venue to which the couple had to find a new venue due to the Covid aftermath, and The Luminaire had many solutions to assist with the unfortunate events the couple encountered. Balie, Carl, Leslie, and Travis are such amazing people to work with and truly make each of us love our jobs so much more. We are very excited for the events to come and our clients have been truly amazing!
