The Center was the perfect venue for our wedding! The space is absolutely beautiful and it’s perfect for couples like us who wanted to have their ceremony and reception in the same place. We had our ceremony in the dome room and our reception in the main ball room and it was absolutely beautiful! We got tons of compliments and how great the space was from our guests. It’s extremely convenient with many parking garages within a few blocks as well as various hotels nearby for guests to stay in. The staff at The Center is absolutely wonderful and even with all of the new restrictions that came with COVID they made sure we still had the perfect wedding. Katie was great and kept us up to date during all the craziness that was going on this spring and always answered any questions we had ASAP. I can not recommend The Center enough!!!

21c: A modern, timeless, and elegant place to exhibit your love. Our 11:11 wishes came true when we exchanged our vows at 21c Museum Hotel this past November 11th. We hosted a private ceremony surrounded by our closest family members. The event was simple, intimate, and quite honestly–perfect. We were looking for a venue that fit our not so traditional vibe. The location, 21c, provided the most magical backdrop and we immediately knew it was the perfect place to host our #micromony. After visiting the solarium and surrounding galleries in person, we could so visualize our wedding taking place here and it felt like a dream come true. Danielle staff went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly so we could truly soak up the day. Their grace expertise were so appreciated during this overwhelming, beautiful slightly stressful time. Cheers to an everlasting marriage filled with happiness, laughter and lots of #LiegibelLove.

Formerly St. Paul's Roman Catholic Church, originally built in 1850. The building was deconsecrated in 1974. That same year the building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Featuring hand-painted murals, marble, stained glass windows, vaulted ceilings, terrazzo flooring, & a cobblestone courtyard, this spectacular venue made for an unrivaled setting for events. Christy Cafeo & her family were presented the opportunity to purchase The Bell Event Centre in 2008 & has been creating memorable events ever since.

Having our wedding at the Bell Event Centre was absolutely perfect! The staff was incredible & easy to work with, and the venue was stunning. I didn't have to worry about a single thing on my wedding day because once I passed my décor and vision off to the Bell they took care of everything. The food was delicious, the drinks were strong, and the off-season pricing was a steal for the amazing service we were getting.
