The Moment on Main Reviews
Jesslyn Carroll(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-11-2022 There aren't enough words to describe how grateful my husband and I are that The Moment on Main opened up right as we began our search for our dream wedding venue. It was the perfect spot for our wedding reception in November 2022! The space is beautiful, timeless and elegant and in a wonderful location.Alexis is great at what she does, and very connected in the wedding industry. She was a true professional while still being down to earth, and already had a relationship with all of our vendors which made our lives so easy! Alexis and our Event Manager Courtney were so helpful and easy to work with from day one of our planning process, all the way up until the very end of our wedding when my dress broke and Courtney was right there to pin it back together perfectly. Forever grateful that she SAVED the day!This is a truly special venue and a great addition to Wheaton. We would highly recommend The Moment on Main to any couple looking for a modern, beautiful space (our personal favorite element being the romantic lighting and the fireplace) with a staff that will help you bring your vision to life! Thank you Moment on Main! :) Reviewed on 16-11-2022

We used the Bridal Suite only on my daughter's wedding day, which was perfect. Set up and ready for our party of seven, we had enough room to sit, get prepared, dress, and enjoy time together. The Moment on Main was very accommodating and present on site the day we were there. We really appreciated having this lovely space available! Reviewed on 29-08-2023

The Moment on Main was the most beautiful, flexible, and welcoming venue we have ever had the chance to work with. From the moment we toured with Alexis to the very end of our wedding, they were there to answer any questions and make the process easier for us. Courtney was so helpful. She was always so quick to reply when we had a question, she handled all the small details so we didn't have to think about them, and she made sure the day ran smoothly. Alexis was great about making sure our specific needs were met when it came to the guest count and the time needed. If you are considering this venue, DO IT! They treat you like family, are there every step of the way, and the venue itself is so beautiful and spacious! We really liked the decor style, the fact that they worked so seamlessly with the caterers and vendors, and the fact that the entire venue is for you only. For other venues, you may have to share a common area or bathroom with other parties but everything is private at the moment on main. Although the parking lot in the back is small, our guests did not have a problem finding street parking (free) or parking in the designated garage (also free). The bridal suite is gorgeous, spacious, and perfect for a big bridal party/ family to sit and relax. The location is perfect for photos in downtown Wheaton and the big window in the front was so beautiful at night and provided great lighting during the day. We had an amazing experience. Thank you Moment on Main! Reviewed on 15-08-2023

We just had our wedding (~140 people) at The Moment on Main in June and it was fantastic. I'm still hearing from people about how seamless our wedding felt to them. Both Alexis and Courtney were amazing to work with throughout the planning process. I am a very detailed person and I because of Courtney, the event coordinator the venue gives you, I was able to be fully present on our big day and not worry about all the little details because I knew Courtney had it. On top of the beauty of the venue itself, there are a plethora of great photo spots all within walking distance of the venue. I highly recommend hosting your wedding/event at MOM!

We recently had our wedding reception here and it was so easy, we didn't have to worry about a thing day of. Luis and Alexis helped us work through all of the details and were prepared to accommodate basically any requests! They had a list of suggested caterers but allowed us to bring in our own. They also worked closely with said caterer, photographer, and DJ to make sure everything moved smoothly! I will definitely be coming back to this venue for other non-wedding events!

Joe Richmond(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-04-2023 The Moment on Main has now given us a \"Moment\" that will go in our top 5 best times ever! From our 1st contact with Alexis, to working with Courtney (our coordinator) everything was absolutely top notch! The most stress for us getting married was to hope that everything went well for all of our guests. We have never heard so many compliments about a venue from so many people as we have from the event at The Moment on Main! Parking was an initial concern for us, but everyone we spoke with said they had no problems and \"Got a good spot\" Lol. We used \"My Chef Catering\" for the dinner and bar service - and \"SoPrime Entertainment\" for the DJ and photo booth. The food was excellent! And the DJ service was exceptional. We would highly recommend \"The Moment on Main\" to anyone looking for a venue for whatever your occasion may be. It doesn't get any better than this! Joe-n-Liz 04/23/23 :) Reviewed on 27-05-2023
Julianne Milne(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-10-2022 When we had our initial visit at The Moment on Main, we were drawn to the clean, elegant space and all the rentals that TMOM offers that could help make it our own. Alexis was so kind and informative, and it's easy to see how much she cares about her business and her clients. We left Alexis, got in the car, and immediately walked right back in to reserve our date. The communication from Alexis and our event coordinator, Courtney, leading up to the day was great and put me at ease. Our wedding day was absolutely beautiful with the help of TMOM team and we were so well taken care. Courtney guided us every step of the way, gave us all the cues we needed, and took care of even the little things like having appetizers and drinks ready for us right after the ceremony in the bridal suite. The space is so beautiful and the surrounding Wheaton area is the PERFECT backdrop for gorgeous pictures. I highly recommend The Moment on Main, it was the perfect choice for our fall wedding!

Judy Barg(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-11-2022 We booked The Moment on Main last spring because it looked like a really nice place for my daughterâs wedding reception and it was convenient for most of our guests. It did stretch our budget, but we got so much for our money. The event coordinator we worked with, Courtney, was so helpful and responsive. She was also friendly and creative, helping us to troubleshoot any problems as we planned our event and then throughout the evening, working with the caterer to make sure everything went smoothly. We were able to relax and thoroughly enjoy our event. We received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful it was. We canât recommend The Moment on Main highly enough!

Megan Sneddon(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-10-2021 We were essentially the first full wedding at this venue, but you would literally never be able to tell! Alexis was such a true professional and phenomenal help during the entire process, especially the day of the wedding. I really didn't have much of a vision when it came to my wedding, but Alexis was incredibly patient and seemed to have a better idea of what I wanted than me! The space is so cute, even a small amount of decorations made the night look great, perfect if you're low maintenance like me! We ended up taking a lot of pictures in the bridal suite and just outside the back side of the venue, where there is a great brick wall building backdrop. It was really special that my husband and I got to get married in Wheaton, the place where we first moved in together and currently bought our first house, and this place brings in all the charm of it with such a cool downtown location.
