Chrysler Commons Venue (formerly The James Industrial Venue) was the perfect choice for our wedding! From the beginning, their communication was quick, effective, and always meaningful. The team went above and beyond to ensure our special day was everything we dreamed of. The quality of their work and overall value was classic, warm, and perfectly suited to the industrial-chic vibe we were going for. They truly helped with anything and everything, always staying on top of the details. We had an indoor wedding with 150 guests, and the space was absolutely stunning - the outdoor portion was also great for our ceremony and photos. I would give this venue an 11/10 recommendation, it was truly perfect for our celebration!

Industrial Grove was the perfect wedding venue for our special day. Their communication was perfect - they were always on time and incredibly friendly throughout the planning process. The quality of their work and value was absolutely perfect. They helped us set up the night before and guided us along the way with the decor layout. I think Industrial Grove is the best wedding venue in the 417 area. The owners are some of the nicest people and they have a great space both indoor and outdoor that they have worked hard to make absolutely stunning.
