We were honored to host our wedding at the Luminare managed by Catherine and Lauren, and we were blown away by the beauty of the weekend. From our initial planning stages to the wedding weekend itself, they were an incredible team to work with, going above and beyond to make our special day truly exceptional.In the months leading up to the wedding, Catherine and Lauren were fantastic to work with. Their flexibility and willingness to collaborate with us on every aspect of our big day was a breath of fresh air. They were responsive to our wide array of questions, offering invaluable guidance and support that bolstered our wedding vision and made it a reality. Their expertise and practical advice made us feel like we weren't alone in the planning process.When the wedding weekend finally arrived, Catherine and Lauren continued to impress us. Their hands-on approach was evident, but they managed to strike the perfect balance of being present and supportive without ever feeling overbearing. This added a sense of stability and reassurance to the entire day, and we couldn't have asked for better venue coordinators.Their communication skills were top-notch, both in their interactions with our families and our wedding coordinator. Their professionalism and understanding were deeply appreciated, ensuring that the day went smoothly.As for some bonus highlights, the venue's double wall projector set-up and built-in sound system were incredible. They allowed us to express our creativity in multiple ways throughout the wedding, from heartwarming slideshows to various music playlists that kept the party going strong. The uplighting provided a beautiful ambience, adding that extra aesthetic touch to our celebration. Something that truly set this venue apart was its floor plan customizability. Catherine and Lauren worked with us to create a layout that perfectly suited our needs, and it made our wedding day flow seamlessly. Furthermore, the inclusion of various decor elements, such as greenery and a wedding arch, simplified our decor needs.We highly recommend this wedding venue managed by Catherine and Lauren. Their flexibility, responsiveness, expertise, and genuine passion for making wedding dreams come to life made our wedding weekend a joy. Hats off to the Luminare team.

The Luminare's modern simplicity and light filled atmosphere was the perfect setting for our special day! We could not be more impressed with our experience working with the staff as we prepared for our wedding. The staff team was very experienced, involved, and responsive to email communication; we felt at ease knowing they were there to support us. We appreciate all of the thoughtful touches that made the day of run smoothly and be stress free for us. From providing morning coffee for the ladies, to fun welcome beverages for the guests, to beautiful decor and seamless reception welcoming and cleanup. We were honored to be the first to hold our event there, and hope that many many other couples will find this gem of a venue and event team!
