    We booked with Mavris back in August of 2023 for our June 2025 wedding. Naturally, there was shifts in staffing and our first wedding coordinator was let go. After some time we got assigned a new coordinator; only for her to be let go. After hearing nothing, I reached out and was put in contact with Autumn. After hearing what we had been through she decided she would be our planner, and thank goodness she did! From then on things were smooth sailing, she was responsive, knowledgeable and made sure we had everything we needed. During wedding day I didn’t have to lift a finger, Autumn and the Mavris staff (along with my planner) assembled, set up, and ensured everything I requested for wedding day was exactly how I pictured it. We received so many compliments on the venue, the food, and how smoothly everything went. Even with some of the hassle we went through in the beginning, we would still pick Mavris again and again! Thank you so much to Autumn and Gustavo for making our day amazing.

    The Mavris was amazing to work with for our wedding! Alexa was so organized and knowledgeable not only about the venue but weddings in general. Leading up to the wedding we were so confident that things would go smoothly, and if anything went wrong, Alexa would be there to fix it. The venue staff were also incredibly helpful throughout the day. This allowed our family to be able to enjoy the wedding too. Overall we had a great experience at The Mavris and would highly recommend them!!
