  • “The Commons 1854 was one of our best decisions when planning for our wedding. The building is beautiful, with an extremely professional and communicative staff, amazing and authentic food, and a magical garden where me and my husband said “I Do”. The staff at The Commons, especially our wedding coordinator Paige, made everything go seamlessly. Planning a wedding comes with a lot of unknowns and Paige made everything from food, to timeline, to decor feel EASY. Amazingly, Paige executed my vision perfectly. We did most decorations and florals on our own, so putting control and hope onto the venue and Paige was daunting but with a blink of an eye, everything fell into place without a worry!! We got so many compliments on our appetizers, the cocktail hour space, and how personable and delightful the servers and staff were. I could not recommend The Commons 1854 more.”

  • “I truly could not have chosen a better venue for my wedding! Paige and Kristi were absolutely amazing to work with. Fast communication and explained everything in detail. Paige was my day of coordinator and my made my vision come to life! I was in tears during my private ballroom reveal because I couldn’t believe how beautiful it looked and how it was exactly everything I had pictured and more. I would 100% recommend this venue to anyone and everyone. Not only a beautiful venue but Kristi and Paige made the experience stress free and enjoyable.”
