The grand 1858 Experience

Absolutely wonderful venue! We loved having separate spaces for various parts of the evening. The ceremony outside was spectacular, even with unexpected heat, the tree coverage made it lovely, and the nature and great grounds keeping made a gorgeous background. We have gotten so many rave reviews about the food!!! Guests have asked if they serve at restaurants! It was great having everything handled in house and prepping with the team was fun. Recommend for a beautiful, centrally located venue!

The team at MEC all work together to make sure your event is exactly what you want. They set up lots of planning meetings ahead of time, act with professionalism, and give great advice. We had our wedding here in September and everything turned out EXACTLY how we pictured! We would recommend this venue for anyone’s wedding or special event.
