Greg, Edie, Mary and the whole team at Millennium Center truly go above and beyond to make your wedding day the absolute best day of your life. Nothing was too big or small of an ask. The bridal and groom's suite were fully stocked with anything we could want and were amazing spaces to spend time with our bridal party during the day. We had our ceremony in the old federal courthouse upstairs and it was so intimate and dreamy with 200 of our closest friends, then we transitioned downstairs for cocktail hour and our reception. Greg even opened up roof top access for us to take photos during Golden Hour that are truly stunning. And can we talk about the FOOD?! We had so many people come up and say the food we had for our buffet "Was not wedding food" with many calling it "a 5 star meal." We even added a "late night bite" a month out and Greg and his team pulled out the most delicious french fry bar, it was a huge hit. Our band LOVED the full stage and in house tech-team, and we truly had a party from the moment it started until our exit, which over 100 people stayed for because the vibes were immaculate. The pricing was the actual best in the state. Don't want to worry about linen, table and chair rentals and the massive fees that come with them? Don't want to be stuck with in-house planner fees and searching for mid-at-best wedding catering? Struggling to fork over thousands of dollars for florals you will use for six hours? Greg thinks through and offers options for all of this for you, and takes care of labor and services so it is off your plate for the fairest cost that you truly would not believe in comparison to other vendors. Oh, and he pulled all of this together in under 7 months so we could get the discount for an off-season wedding with him and our vendors and not have to sweat on our wedding day! Millennium Center is the venue for you. We are so thankful for all that Greg and his team did and we truly feel like we are apart of the family now!

If you're even remotely considering The Millennium Center for your wedding, stop second-guessing and just book it! My husband and I got married in April 2024 and had the best experience. We had toured several venues, but The Millennium Center immediately stood out as the perfect choice. The venue’s stunning architecture, history, and prime location in downtown Winston-Salem made it the ideal setting for our special day.
Greg (owner), Evie (his wife), and their entire team went above and beyond to ensure BOTH the planning process and our wedding day were flawless. Greg took the time to meet with us several times, answering all of our questions and never rushing us. These meetings weren’t just about logistics—they were always fun conversations to get to know each other.
The team worked closely with us to personalize every detail, from incorporating cultural elements into our food menu, to offering excellent vendor recommendations. They even went the extra mile with personal touches, like stocking the bar with our favorite options. They also gave us great advice on certain setups but never overpowered our perspectives—they truly listened to what we wanted.
On the big day, everything was executed flawlessly. We spent the entire day at The Millennium Center, including getting ready (there is plenty of space to do so comfortably!). The team’s attention to detail, professionalism, and commitment to bringing our vision to life was extraordinary. We never had to worry about a thing—it was a stress-free and unforgettable experience. Our guests are still raving about the food (especially the chicken, and shrimp and grits!), the bar service, the venue’s beauty, and of course, Greg. He made a point to check in with guests throughout the day to make sure everyone was happy and had everything they needed.
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better venue or a more amazing team to work with.

I cannot recommend the Millennium Center staff and hospitality enough! We had to change plans months prior to our wedding due to my husband's military schedule and the staff was MORE than accommodating. Having everything all in one package too - the food, decor, and beautiful location truly made it so easy for us to host our event. Greg and the Millennium Center went above and beyond to make our celebration a success. You will not regret booking them for your event!

We had an unforgettable and perfect wedding reception thanks to the Milenium Center. Our family and friends are still talking about it!
Greg, Edie, and Mary are the best team. Our wedding reception was everything we wanted and more. The whole team made everything easy. This venue is for the bride and groom that are open to trying new ideas, want a built in planing advice, a day of person all in one. They have plently of options for decor, their sound system is amazing, and they have plenty of space for any type of crowd. They even went out of their way to help us set up garage parking for our guests. The area was safe and right in the heart of downtown. Would highly recommend this venue and this team to help make your day special!

Upon announcing my daughter’s engagement to friends, I was given some of the best advice I have ever received. I was told to consider the Millennium Center as the venue for her wedding. After a tour, she loved it and now, after the wedding, we all love it. Of course we think it was the best wedding we have ever attended, but so did most of our guests! They told us so. Greg and Ellie Carlyle have employed the hardest working, friendliest and most professional staff I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Their attention to every detail (down to the specific fold of the napkins) made my daughter’s wedding a perfect evening for everyone in attendance. I would do it again tomorrow if I had it all to do again. When asked if I would change anything, the answer would be no! It was perfectly executed and no changes necessary! They are that excellent!

We hosted our wedding reception at the Millennium Center in the fall of 2023, and it was nothing short of an amazing night. Unfortunately, my husband and I were both extremely ill on our wedding day and lacked the energy to oversee the details. Thankfully, Greg, Edie, and their team stepped in to handle everything, ensuring that both we and our guests still had a wonderful time, with everything looking and tasting great.
The owners and staff were excellent communicators leading up to our wedding day, and they were very accommodating of our requests for custom drinks, menu items, decor, and setup. Their customized approach was exactly what we were looking for in a full-service venue and minimized the need for too many outside vendors.
The cocktail hour, food, and ambiance were perfect. Several guests told us that ours was one of the best weddings they had attended—a high praise, especially considering that the bride and groom weren't at their best that day. I'm so grateful that the Millennium Center team was at the top of their game!

Can't say enough good things about Greg, Edie and Mary! We had the most fun wedding and couldn't have done it without Greg's attention to detail, Edie's ability to bring my flower vision to life, and Mary to execute during the wedding. Everything went smoothly with vendor communication and our family and friends are still talking about how great the food was. There wasn't anything I said or any idea I had that was out of reach, so no need to think twice when looking for a beautiful indoor venue in Downtown Winston-Salem!

We got married in December 2022 and could not have asked for a more perfect day. The venue itself is gorgeous and the location is super convenient, especially for out of town guests. Greg and his team were responsive, accommodating and fun to work with. They made thoughtful suggestions that took our ideas to the next level. The food was delicious, from cocktails hour hors d'oeuvres to the main course. We also had them do our bouquets and floral arrangements, which turned out beautifully. I'd highly recommend to anyone looking for their dream wedding!

Simply The Best!! What a beautiful time we had! Greg Edie and Mary were the most gracious hosts and made our daughter's wedding an elegant memory we will cherish for a lifetime. From the first meeting to the tasting, to the final event, they were accessible and quick responding. We feel the atmosphere there is like walking into a familiar place, like visiting with Family. The staff was so helpful and accommodating. Our son's wedding was also at The Millenium Center. It was a privilege to back and enjoy once again!! Give them a call We highly recommend! 5 stars is not enough! Cheers!

“Perfect.” “Beautiful.” “Fabulous.” These are only a few of the many reactions our guests shared with us. And they were due to the amazing wedding reception that we hosted at The Millennium Center with the expert help of owner Greg Carlyle and his talented team. They brought years of experience, enthusiasm, and friendliness to our every question and request. From our first consultation with Greg months in advance, all the way through the last dance of the night, this proud mother and father of the bride will always be thrilled that we chose to celebrate this special day there. Greg’s signature 1918 Beaux Arts building in beautiful downtown Winston Salem was ideal. It’s in the center of many hotels, restaurants, churches, and fun things for guests to do, all within easy walking distance.
We made use of the gracious and sophisticated accommodations for our day-long wedding preparations and dressing, a wonderful pre-reception cocktail hour with its multiple serving locations, an over-the-top delicious meal and a large stage and dance floor for the band and all 265 guests to celebrate. Greg Carlyle and the Millennium Center --- Wow!

We had several options for venues for our daughter’s wedding reception. We have known Greg and Edie for years and asked them to make a proposal for the special event. The entire experience was beyond expectations. They were accommodating of our every need and not only did they not overpromise, they over delivered. Greg was always available to discuss details and was helpful with suggestions that not only saved us money but made the event more enjoyable for our guests. Every aspect from the food tasting to the discussions about layout and timing were right on point. It is obvious that Greg and Edie have been doing this for a long time and still have meeting the needs of their clients as their most important goal. Our guests have not stopped commenting on how special the night was. I give the Millennium Center my highest recommendation.

My wife and I had the Wedding Reception of our dreams at the Millennium Center! Greg and Edith were a breeze to work with! My wife and I had many ideas about how we wanted our reception to be and all we had to do was communicate that with Greg and he brought it all to life! We even had to make some last-minute changes and Greg graciously and promptly accommodated for us. It can be stressful and tiresome to plan a wedding reception, however we are so glad that we booked the Millennium Center. Not only did we have an absolutely beautiful venue to host our reception, it all came together through the expertise and vision of Greg and his team.

I had my wedding at the Millennium Center in November 2021 and would recommend them to anyone! The entire team came together to make the event perfect and memorable for ~175 guests. Greg and Mary were both involved from the first meeting to the end of the reception. They executed every special request and made the entire wedding seamless from the ceremony in the courtroom to cocktail hour in the lobby to the reception in the main event space. The food was delicious and organized as stations so no one had to wait serving beef tenderloin, salmon, shrimp and grits, and chicken. The bar staff kept everyone's drinks full until we made our exit and the bar carried all the brands we typically drink. We had an 11 piece band who comfortably fit on stage using an incredible sound system The Millennium Center already has. The staff was constantly rounding the reception to clean up plates and glasses so everything looked neat. The Millennium Center even did all the flowers and decorations catered to our taste. I would highly recommend anyone looking at The Millennium Center to book the space!

In September 2021 we had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Millennium Center. I can honestly say it was the best decision that I could have made. Our wedding was everything we wanted and more. The stress level was very low due to the convenience of so much being included in the price. The staff there was AMAZING and all my guest could not stop talking about how awesome the food was! I will never forget my special day and I owe it all to Greg and the other staff at the Millennium Center!

I had my wedding here in October 2021 and I can't even begin to describe how amazing it was. The food was fantastic and the atmosphere was just stunning. We invited people from all over the country and EVERYONE was blown away by the food. This venue has so much history and character -- our photos from the day are unbelievable. The staff went above and beyond to make our day extra special and we are just so grateful.
Regarding COVID, The Millennium Center made us feel very safe and reassured during the whole process. The staff was masked and our guests felt very comfortable and safe because of the precautions they took both on and before our wedding day. We really appreciated this.
This was my dream wedding and the staff at The Millennium Center made it happen. They communicated with me every step of the way and were flexible and kind throughout the wedding planning process. I had countless people tell me this is one of the best weddings they've ever been to.
Definitely get married here if you want to work with someone who really cares about your experience -- because that's clearly a priority to the folks at The Millennium Center.

If you are looking for a place to have your wedding, have it here! Greg, Mary, and Edie are wonderful. We had an original date scheduled for our wedding and had to postpone it because of COVID. The Millennium Center was so understanding and made the whole process incredibly easy.
Throughout the entire wedding planning process they were engaged, in contact, and so helpful.
Our wedding was the most perfect day. The venue was beautiful, the food was delicious, the timeline was exactly what we wanted.
Everything you need is at this venue. They are the best and I would recommend the Millennium Center for any event possible.

We traveled form out of town to attend our nephews wedding in Winston Salem. Even though he and his lovely bride were forced to scale things down due to Covid restrictions, I have to say that the staff at the Millennium Center were very professional, they provided more than ample space social distancing, if anyone so chose. The building itself is just lovely, the grand scale of it alone is amazing. It is definitely something you wouldn't imagine down south, Mr. and Mrs. Carlyle have done a fantastic job restoring this beautiful building and giving it life in a new way. We were even lucky enough to receive a personal tour of the entire space, all three levels are just stunning! Between the joy my family shared, the delicious food, and fantastic service we received we will always remember our time in Winston Salem and the Millennium Center.

Our wedding weekend was a dream thanks to Greg and his team! As a Winston native, I'd been to prom and other events at the Millennium Center, but did not appreciate the beauty of the venue until I got married there.
Greg was quick and receptive throughout the entire process and allowed us to come in whenever we had questions or wanted to talk things through. Having a venue that did flowers, food, all equipment, etc. made it so easy on us and lessened the number of vendors we had to work with.
It was great to be able to get ready at the venue (the bridal suite is fantastic) and spend our entire day there. Our wedding day ran so smoothly, which was no small feat with almost 250 people. I would recommend the venue for anyone looking to get married in Winston.

Beautiful , historic venue with gracious, helpful owners. Wonderful bridal room with lots of mirrors and 3 salon chairs for the whole crew to get ready. The venue provides catering that is second to none. Our guests raved about the food and bar service. Venue provided us with a preferred DJ who played appropriate and varied music during cocktail hour and dinner, yet, kept the party pumping when it was time to dance. The wife of the owner stepped in and helped fix the flowers that arrived from another florist. She had extra flowers she used from her own stock to rearrange the delivered flowers. They ended up being beautiful. This venue is focused on customer service. I would recommend to anyone for any festive occasion.

Greg and his team went beyond all our expectations. Every single detail that they were in charge of was handled perfectly, at exactly the right time, and with a smile. I could not imagine having our ceremony anywhere else. There are a plenty of other venues to choose from, and some will be just as nice inside and out. The difference here was Greg and his team. They really removed all the stress for us. Planning was simple and we got everything we wanted with no compromises, while the stuff we didn't care or think about was handled expertly for us. They even made the bride and groom a special desert because she mentioned she had always pictured Creme Brûlée as her desert.
8 months later, we still have people telling us how great the food was (prepared by the venue's chef), how much fun they had dancing (we used their DJ), or how much they enjoyed the open bar (all staffed and supplied by the venue's team).
We strongly recommend!

Given the implications of COVID-19 impacting our wedding planning process over the past 6 months, we must say that the months leading up to our dream wedding were particularly stressful. With that being said, the millennium center has been the PERFECT venue to execute and host our wedding. Greg and his staff are truly amazing, supportive and deliver on everything they promise. During the final month leading up to our wedding day, we encountered a number of roadblocks, including postponement of our reception. However, Greg and his team have been amazing, not charging additional fees for our next reception date, and even went as far as to add additional amenities for us on our wedding day (e.g., sparkler exit, Greg driving his personal vehicle for us back to our hotel). Needless to say, Greg and his team made our wedding day dreams come true and we’re so thankful for all of the countless hours and work they contributed to making our day so special! We can’t wait for part 2 and we would highly recommend this venue for any special event!

We could not have been more pleased with the dedication they showed to the request we made to execute a perfect wedding/brunch reception.

I could not find anything bad to say about working with Greg and Edie if I tried. We were planning a very last minute wedding, 13 days to be exact, when I called Greg and he and his staff treated us as if we had been planning our wedding for years. It was perfect. We had the ceremony in the garden room and the reception in the jazz lounge and it was perfect. Have a mentioned the food!!! Wow, my guest are still talking about how amazing the food was. Jerk chicken, beef tenderloin and all the trimmings for dinner then a burger bar for late night snacks. Amazing. My husband even busted his pants and I had just mentioned that to one of the bar tenders and didn’t think anything of it because he was just going to run back to the hotel and get his jeans but out of nowhere there was Greg with a pair a pants that fit perfect. Amazing. To have everything right there it was more then perfect. Stephanie was/is awesome they kept everything right on track even though I was an hour an a half late, completely all my fault 😂😊 amazing amazing amazing

I'll start by saying the Millennium Center is absolutely gorgeous. The building has a rich history that exudes class and elegance. For the majority of my planning process, we worked with the day-of planner Kaitlyn, who was an absolute star. About 10 days before the wedding, we were informed that Katelyn had left the Millennium Center, and the building owners, that Greg and his wife, were taking over our event. Naturally, I was a bit worried, but Greg quickly put my fears to rest and executed my wedding perfectly! He was incredibly responsive with all my requests and needs; when there were one or two hiccups, he had his whole team on them. He even served our dinner himself, which was phenomenal by the way. I could not have asked for a more perfect day.

Kaitlin, Greg and the entire MC staff were great. They catered to my every need and did not disappoint. The food was great, the decor was great and the service was immaculate. Great venue because everything is done in house which saved us the headache of having multiple vendors. I would for sure recommend the MC!

We could not have imagined a more perfect venue for our reception. Everything from the venues location's in downtown Winston-Salem, to the architecture, to the layout of the building made us fall in love with the Millennium Center. Kaitlyn was attentive and great to work with in the planning process and on the day of. All of our guests commented on how great the food was. It was such a relief that once we had signed on with the Millennium Center, all of the "little things" were taken care of, including the linens, tableware, bar, stage, lighting, etc. etc. etc. I cannot say enough positive things about the Millennium Center, if you are looking for a wedding venue in Winston-Salem, look no further!

We absolutely LOVE Kaitlyn, Greg and his staff (Stephanie and crew)!!! We can't imagine any other vendor making us feel like a part of their family. Kaitlyn was a huge part of our day. We appreciate her kind spirit, generosity, attention to detail, patience and most importantly her dedication to ensuring everything was done in a timely manner. Greg and his staff are fully dedicated and know how to make you feel at ease. We highly recommend The Millennium Center.

I don't know where to begin, but believe me when I say you cannot go wrong with the Millennium Center! We chose this venue for our cocktail hour and reception, with the ceremony at my home church one hour away in Va. Greg and Kaitlyn worked with our schedules since we don't live in Winston and helped ease my concerns about having the reception and ceremony at different locations. We initially had trouble scheduling a tasting due to various things - but the food at the tasting absolutely blew us away and calmed any nerves about that! My husband's family is from Philly and my family is from Louisiana, so for cocktail hour we had Philly pretzels and beer cheese & Louisiana style shrimp and grits. The ballroom was stunning - Kaitlyn might be a fairy godmother!! She arranged all the personal items I brought (my mom and nana's wedding dress, etc) without a single complaint. She was always friendly and upbeat and felt more like a friend than an event planner. She also did our floral arrangements for the reception and used Galax leaves per my request to honor my hometown's name! 6 months later, people still compliment us on our wedding and say what a fun time they had. They also talk about the food! Beef tenderloin, marinated chicken, and Vegetable Korma to celebrate our love of Indian food! We had full bar service and a full coffee bar. My husband and I never lifted a finger the whole day. Anytime I even thought I might need a refill, Kaitlyn, Greg, or another one of the amazing staff were there asking me what they could get for me. They also got Bluebell ice-cream to serve with cake - my family's favorite ice cream. We were so lucky to be able to book a Sunday at the end of our short engagement. The Millennium Center was worth every penny and I wish I could relive that day! Thank you Greg, Kaitlyn, and The Millennium Center staff - including the chef! - for making our wedding day so memorable and special. I think everyone looks back at their wedding and can see things they would change if they could. I would change some things about the ceremony and pictures.....but nothing about the reception! --unless it could have lasted longer!

We are so happy we chose the Millennium Center for our wedding on August 6, 2017. We knew as soon as we saw the Millennium Center and met Greg and Kaitlyn that this venue was for us! Greg and Kaitlyn sure do know how to throw a party! During the planning process, they were extremely attentive and very detail oriented. They had so many creative ideas and suggestions to help us create the perfect day. We had the best of everything- a romantic ceremony and an energetic reception to follow. The venue itself is historical and has so much character. It was so conveinent to have a salon room at the venue for the bride and bridal party to get ready in. And the guys had a great time hanging in their own private room. Our guests are also still raving about how delicious the food was! And the flowers - all ordered and arranged by The Millennium Center - were just beautiful! The day of the wedding Greg and Kaitlyn were there every step of the way to make sure everything ran smoothly. We didn't have to worry about anything but enjoying our wedding day and for that, we can't thank them enough! We highly recommend this venue.

We loved our reception at the Millennium Center! Both Greg and Kaitlyn were a great to work with and created the perfect night for our guests. They are highly professional and paid close attention to every detail . They created a beautiful reception complete with tropical flowers and even soda from Peru (where we met)! They offer a one stop shop for catering, decor, floral arrangements, tables, chairs, table linens, etc. which made the planning process smooth. As a note, they will charge more for specialty items, colors, etc. if they have to order them, but they are more than able to get whatever you need to make your reception exactly what you want. Food and drink was AMAZING! They helped us develop our own signature craft cocktails and I can't speak more highly of the food. The chef worked with us to craft a perfect menu and we had rave reviews from all our guests. We are very grateful for the time and effort they put into our reception.

Words cannot express how amazing the Millennium Center and staff were for our Wedding this past September. I was planning our wedding out of town (Charlotte) and both Greg and Kaitlyn were a dream to work with and extremely detail oriented. No request was too large or small for the team at Millennium and they made sure to cater our day to fit our personality. Millennium is a one stop shop offering full services of catering, decor, floral arrangements, tables, chairs, table linens, etc. which made the planning process a breeze. Not having to purchase a ton of candles/decor that I would never use again was a huge perk and they have an amazing selection to choose from. The Millennium team can make any floral dream come true with their talented staff. My colors were black and white with greenery and rose accents. Being from the south I wanted to incorporate magnolia leaves into our decor and Millennium knocked it out of the park with our table arrangements featuring Magnolia leaves. If you are looking for an incredible venue with a staff that is even more amazing Millennium Center is the right venue for you!

We had a wonderful wedding at the Millennium Center, pretty close to perfection! The staff and team there are super helpful and go above and beyond to make your day special and everything you dream of. The food was FANTASTIC- and that's hard to do at most weddings. It was as good at the wedding for 120+ guests as it was at the private tasting for 4. My guests raved and I was very proud- get the Salmon you wont regret it! As a bride, wedding planning can get stressful so I cant comment enough on how much this venue comes with and takes care of for you if you let them. Having so many options for table linens and chairs, lights and speakers, florals, catering, bridal suite to get ready on site, rehearsal and day of coordination, the list goes on. It was truly the biggest reason we went with the Millennium center and why I would always recommend them. They removed as much stress as possible for our big day and that's not to be undervalued! You will not regret using this venue and its team to have the wedding of your dreams!

I couldn't imagine a more perfect wedding than what we had at The Millennium Center! Our guests are still raving about how amazing our dinner was, and the décor was incredibly detailed. Greg and Kaitlyn made the whole experience so easy and stress-free, with so many good options that it's impossible to chose anything less than perfection. I had the most incredible night of my life here, and I highly recommend this venue.

Choosing to have our wedding reception at the Millennium Center was the best choice we made about our wedding. The building itself is stunning, but the staff really made the wedding of our dreams a reality! Kaitlyn, Greg, and the entire staff blew us away with their professionalism, their creativity, and their flexibility. They were amazing to work with- they thought of everything and really have weddings down to a science, we never doubted we were in great hands! Kaitlyn kept me updated about everything - even sent me preview pictures while setting up the ballroom and lobby, which was so thoughtful. One of the great things about the Millennium Center is all of the extras they provide. When booking with them you not only get a venue, but a caterer, an event coordinator, serving staff, and new friends! The food was delicious, and we heard nothing but great things from our guests. The morning of our wedding, our entire bridal party was able to get ready either in the bridal salon or in a special area downstairs that Greg set up for the guys. This was so special to us, and saved us from having one more thing to coordinate! Our guests kept raving about our reception and I know we all have the best memories of our special day thanks to the Millennium Center staff! If you book with them- you won't regret it!

We used the Millennium Center only for our reception location and I'm so glad we did! Greg and his wonderful staff were great to work with! Planning a wedding from across the country is never easy but Greg went above and beyond to accommodate any special requests and customized the space to make it uniquely ours. Millennium Center has so much character and really embodies the rich history of Winston-Salem. Greg and his staff worked really well with our florist, photographer, and cake bakery- everything went so smoothly on the wedding day! Greg went the extra mile to ensure everything was perfect for the big day, he even worked around our schedules to set up a menu & wine tasting for us when we came into town one weekend. His staff was very friendly and welcoming- Kaitlyn set up a romantic candlelit dinner for my husband and I before being introduced at the reception, it was such a wonderful moment to have! My experience with the Millennium Center was nothing but positive!

Approximately one month before my wedding my 82 year old mom fell and broke her hip. After a partial replacement she needed round the clock care. I've worked in fine dining, catering and event planning for approximately seven years, so my idea was to help set my event, my bride was so excited. I couldnt leave moms side, i didnt know what to do. I communicated my desires and hopes to Millennium management, hoped for the best, but my standards are quite high. I could not believe how beautiful the room was. Truly. Edith and Kaitlyn built my flower arrangements and they were breathtaking. Greg went out of his way to prepare a meal that was so delicious my geusts raved, and wanted to compliment chef Pat. There were to many servers to call each by name, but they were all on point with beverages, clearing, and courteous, kind attiudes. After all my experience, i was amazed and i had the time of my life. My beautiful bride was so pleased, and that made me happy.it takes real pros to build an event with minimal information and get it perfect. That was what they did for my bride and myself, and im eternally grateful. Greg made sure my mom got in safe and on the front row.

I married my high school sweetheart, twenty five years after graduation. That in itself was a dream come true, so much that when we chose the Millinnuum Center we decided to put everything in their more than capable hands. I didn't want to see the ballroom until I walked down the aisle. I wasn't only in awe, I was completely overwhelmed with the fairy tale wedding the staff had created. The staff had went above and beyond any and all expectations. Not only did they have our entire wedding party completely covered, they catered to our guests as if they would have to their own family. They truly thought of everything, leaving me in a position to worry about nothing and fall in love with everything and that is exactly what I did. The food was spectacular and the tables were breathtaking. I couldn't have asked for anything more beautiful. I wouldn't have changed one second of that day and although putting everything in their hands from colors to culinary may seem unnerving to some, not only was I weightless where worry would typically be a concern, I was completely taken away by the sight of perfection seeing it for the first time as my father walked with his hand clinched to mine and placed it in the hand of my first love.

I cannot imagine a better venue for our daughter's wedding. When we entered the main dining area, it was breathtaking. Kaitlyn and Greg met our every need and were easy to work with. Our biggest concern was that they were so agreeable to anything we asked, we were afraid that perhaps they were over-promising. We had nothing to be afraid of. Anything and everything that we asked of them was accomplished. The food was delicious, and our guests were happy because it ran on time. Both Greg and Kaitlyn were on site the day of the event, so we had absolutely no need to have a wedding planner present. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a stunning venue for their wedding.

The millennium center saved our wedding! We had booked at another venue and the venue canceled on us six months prior to our wedding so we called the millennium center desperate for anything in the month of September and Kaitlyn quickly is to our stress by quickly eased our stress by finding a date that would work for us. From that point on, whatever we needed, wanted, or thought of we would run by Kaitlyn and her answer was always yes! When our wedding director bailed for a family event two months before the wedding, Kaitlyn stepped up and took over that job as well. She and Greg make an incredible team and were fantastic and preparing for our wedding.

Overall my reception was wonderful. The decorations were perfect, the food was excellent (provided by Local), and the night went smoothly.
Trying to plan my wedding was slightly challenging at times due to the fact that your only choice is e-mail, and I did not get coordinators direct email until two days before the wedding.
We had 170 guests and were told that we would have two bars at our reception so one wouldn't get crowded. When the day came there was only one which caused some congestion for drinks.
Our contract stated that we would have certain beers that we requested (Hoppyum was one of them) and we were given a cheaper version (Hop Job). My husband being a Foothills employee knew that this was a cheaper option and wasn't very pleased.
Multiple mistakes were made on our contract which resulted in us getting money back but not without some attitude from the employees.
The groomsmen area to get ready was amazing when we took our tour with a pool table, stocked fridge, and couches. When the day came the lights were off, no pool table and no stocked fridge. The men felt they were in a cave.
Overall it was a beautiful venue and wonderful day.

The Millennium Center staff made sure that our wedding exceeded our every expectation! Greg and Kaitlyn are AMAZING to work with, and make everything incredibly easy. They were patient, knowledgeable, professional, and courteous during every interaction. We had both our ceremony and reception on-site, and each space is incredibly flexible and beautiful. Since they have all the rentals you will need and on-site catering, it makes wedding planning SO much easier and affordable. Many items that other sites will charge extra for come standard here. The food is delicious, and the chef can take any idea you have and make it a reality. The entire staff went to great lengths to make sure that our wedding day was fun and stress-free. I highly recommend the Millennium Center for your wedding!

The Millennium Center is a beautiful venue! Greg, his wife, & Kaitlyn were an amazing team. They all were so easy to work with and very understanding. Kaitlyn is an awesome assistant to them. She responded to every email, help with every detail, & was THE BEST Day-of Coordinator. The staff was friendly and professional! I will definitely be referring the Millennium Center to all my family and friends.
