If I could give Paula and Station 3 six stars, I would!
First the bar: They truly exceeded our expectations! We loved that we got to customize our beer selection and added pre-ceremony champagne with no issue. We took pictures at the venue while they were setting up… and we didn’t expect this, but Paula brought us a few pre-ceremony champagne bottles up to the bridal suite right when we finished pictures, which was a great memory for us and our bridesmaids. Right after the ceremony, Paula had champagne glasses for us to drink in between family pictures, which was so sweet. The bar team was always ready with my wife and I’s drink of the night. The bar lines were never long because they had servers out passing our champagne, wine, beers (and sometimes some classic cocktails as well). Also when we asked Paula if we could have an extra hour, she highly recommended instead to just go to the bar across the street, which we did and was a great recommendation!
For the venue: We loved the look of the venue and the fact you can bring in all your own vendors (besides the bar). We were skeptical of the dance floor being separate from the dinner area as we had not been to a wedding like that before. I wasn’t sure where ladies would store their purses during dancing or where people could sit if they were tired of dancing. Well, after the wedding, we actually liked our layout better. It truly kept everyone on the dance floor ALL NIGHT! We had a few tables that a few of the parents' friends/family sat at, but the dance floor always felt full because there weren't a ton of tables around. We had our ceremony on the first floor, and we were also skeptical of walking down the stairs for the entrance. After the fact, I am so happy we had the stairs because all of our guests could see us, whereas sometimes you barely see the bride as they pass your row. Also their bridal suite was upgraded from when we first booked to our wedding, and it was soooo nice! I have included a picture of us with our bridal party waiting for the ceremony.
