As soon as my then-fiancee (and now, wife!) and I walked into Avenir, we were floored by how stunning the space is. Avenir is one of several properties owned by Sapphire Event Group, all of which have their own character and charm. Avenir was the first of three that we planned to tour that day, and after completing our second tour, we couldn't stop thinking back to the gorgeous chandelier ballroom, "LOVE" marquee sign and chic cocktail lounge at the Avenir. Lynn and the rest of the team worked with us to give us any discounts they could so we could book Avenir for our wedding and we were thrilled. We worked with Kayla for the day-of wedding coordination, and it couldn't have been a more perfect match. Her laid-back nature paired with her evident knowledge of and passion for wedding planning connected well with both my wife (very type A and organized) and myself (type B and carefree). She made us feel extremely comfortable and eased any worries that we had when it came to all of the different parts of the wedding planning. My wife and I are a same-sex couple and everyone at Sapphire Event Group normalized and validated our wedding experience (it may be obvious, but the wedding industry is extremely gendered and heteronormative, so this was very refreshing for us). They helped us navigate having two "bridal suite" spaces despite the venue (and all venues we toured) only technically having one, and honored all of the little ways that we wanted to make our day uniquely ours. The rehearsal before the wedding and the day-of the ceremony and reception, my wife and I continually talked about how grounded Kayla made us feel just with her presence and assuredness. She consistently reminded us to eat, take time to enjoy ourselves, and to remember the day is ours. It was a bit rainy right at the time of the ceremony, so Kayla guided us in pushing the time a tiny bit just enough for the skies to clear, and it was perfect! Sunny skies for the entire ceremony and garden photos afterwards. All of the staff (Nora who was our bridal attendant, the various servers and bartenders, etc) were incredible and so supportive and attentive, always making sure our glasses were full and checking in on us. I can't say enough good things about Avenir, and I only wish the night didn't have to end! read more

We cannot recommend Avenir enough! We finally had our reception in August 2021, and it was the perfect experience from start to finish! We loved Avenir the second we saw it at our first tour in 2019. The beautiful chandeliers caught my eye right away and the all-white dance floor was so unique! It was everything we could have wanted! With Covid-19 cases increasing we had to make the decision to go on with our ceremony in January but wait for a reception to share that time with our family and friends. When we decided to start planning again, Avenir was our first call! We were so lucky to book our dream venue with only two months until the big day! The entire team at Sapphire Event Group was amazing to work with and very helpful! Since we had a tight deadline, we needed to move fast, and the team was there every step of the way. We were in constant contact with Sydney, our event manager. She was amazing! Very responsive, nice and helpful through all of our planning which made it very easy and stress free. We also worked very closely with Jonathan as well who helped us book not only Avenir but both our DJ & Photographer with Groove Events. Everything seemed to fall into place perfectly with their help! All the staff working the reception were extremely nice, attentive and helpful! They made sure we were taken care of and having a good time along with our guests, checking in on us frequently and making sure everything ran smoothly all night. Our families and friends are still talking about our reception from the food to the music and the elegant ballroom they loved everything about it! Although it was a crazy year, I am so happy we waited and were able to have a beautiful day with all our families and friends at our favorite venue! I wish I could live it over and over. If we have any events in the future, Sapphire Event Group will be our first call! read more

Avenir was the most perfect venue for our wedding! From the first day we toured it till our actual wedding, the staff at Avenir was amazing. My husband and I could not be happier with how our wedding day turned out. We cannot thank our wedding coordinator Sydney enough for all of her help planning our special day. Sydney was always there for us - helping us plan every step of the way. She helped make our day magical. On the day of the rehearsal Sydney made sure that our entire family and wedding party knew exactly what they needed to be doing and knew exactly where to stand. On the day of the wedding Sydney was the one in charge, she made sure all the vendors arrived at the correct time, made sure they set everything up exactly as to how my husband and myself wanted it and made sure the entire wedding ran smoothly. Our bridal attendant Lauren, I cannot say enough kind words about her! She was always there helping me and making sure I was the happiest bride. She always made sure my dress was in order, made sure I ate my dinner and always stayed hydrated :) She checked on us, making sure everything was going just how we envisioned. Thank you Sydney and Lauren! The staff at Avenir truly went above and beyond to ensure everyone had the best time. My guests were so impressed with their overall experience. From Chef Tim, the wait staff and the bartenders, each and every one of them were AMAZING. We heard so many compliments about the venue, the food, the staff and the drinks. I cannot recommend Avenir enough. Any bride looking for an absolutely amazing experience, check out Avenir! Thank you Avenir and staff! read more

Picking Avenir as our venue was one of the most critical decisions in our wedding planning process. From the beginning, the sales team was very helpful and we were able to attend a group tasting before we booked. The food was phenomenal and all of our guests mentioned how much they enjoyed their meal. Not only was each choice great, they were amazing with dietary restrictions and allergies as well. After booking, we got a book with amazing advice from their experience with wedding planning and a list of preferred vendors. We booked almost all of our vendors off of this list. It was great to have a starting point and know that they were not only an outstanding vendor, but they also had a working experience of the venue. Our coordinator, Sydney, was always available to answer questions outside meetings. Their extensive list of questions about the ceremony and reception prompted many discussions for us and allowed us to fully think through our vision. We communicated what we wanted in regards to the set up and they executed our vision. On the day, we had the support of Sydney, a bridal attendant, a back of house manager, waiters, chef, and bartenders. My husband and I, as well as my whole family and bridal party, were able to enjoy the day without worrying about logistics. The day went so smoothly and many of our friends and family made positive comments about the food, venue and overall experience. We are so grateful that a family friend suggested that we check out Avenir. The ease of mind and overall high quality of food, event spaces and service are quite rare. We would recommend you seriously check out Avenir! read more

My husband and I got married at the Avenir recently, and it was everything we could have wanted and more! The Saphire Event Group was great throughout the entire process leading up to the wedding, especially our event producer Kayla. She met with us in person a number of times and was also very responsive over email, assisting with any questions or concerns we had to ensure our day was set up as best as possible. The day of the wedding was everything we envisioned come to life. Both the cocktail area and the main ballroom were beautifully set up. Also the food was fantastic! Whether it was the hors d'oeuvres or the entrees or the late night snacks, we kept hearing from guests how good everything tasted. Lastly, the staff the day of the wedding were amazing. Kayla was on site to ensure everything went smoothly. The bridal attendants were checking on us consistently to see if we needed anything. And everyone working was respectful to all our guests. The staff truly made our day feel even more special with their attention to detail, and we greatly appreciated it. I would definitely recommend the Avenir to any engaged couples looking for a wedding venue in the future! read more

My husband and I could not have been more satisfied with having our wedding here. Our wedding day was simply amazing! From start to finish, we felt very taken care of. Everything ran very smoothly, all thanks to the team at Avenir. We worked with Sydney as our event coordinator. She was very patient and kind with us, very prompt to answer our emails/phone calls, listened to our wants/needs, and even gave us advice when we were unsure. Needless to say, we left our meetings with her very well informed and comfortable with the planning process. On the day of our wedding, Hillary stepped in for Sydney, but the last minute change did not affect the event at all. The transition was so smooth. Not only were Sydney and Hillary incredible to work with, but Serena, our bridal attendant, was super helpful the day of. What a great idea to have a bridal attendant! I wished all venues offered this service. We received compliments from our guests about the wait staff who very attentive at the tables, the delicious food, and beautiful garden and ballroom setting. We would highly recommend the Avenir to anyone! read more

Avenir was simply amazing. My husband and I could not be happier with how our wedding day turned out. We cannot thank our wedding coordinator Sydney enough for all of her help planning our special day. Sydney was always there for us - from planning to executing - right down to the smallest details. She helped make our day seamless as well as Jenna our bridal attendant. Jenna was always there helping me with my dress and checking in on us throughout the night to see if we needed anything. Thank you Sydney and Jenna! The staff at Avenir truly went above and beyond to ensure everyone had the best time. My guests were so impressed with their overall experience. From the chef to the wait staff to the bartenders we heard over and over about how AMAZING everyone was; especially the food. It truly was so delicious. I highly recommend everyone to go experience Avenir - they genuinely put you first and do everything they can to help make your day one of the best days of your life. Thank you Avenir and staff! read more

I had my wedding at Avenir on August 20, 2022. I was always told by many that I shouldn't be disappointed if things go wrong on my wedding day. Safe to say not one thing went wrong! Sydney is absolutely amazing. From the day we started planning she was so quick to respond to my emails with any answers to my questions. Sydney was also very accommodating to when we could come in for meetings and was able to work around our tight schedules. Kelsey and Hillary were also great and would check in time to time through email to make sure everything was going well. The day of the wedding, the whole staff at Avenir was absolutely amazing, accommodating and did not leave my side. Most importantly, the food! We received so much positive feedback regarding the food from cocktail hour all the way to our midnight snacks. I am so happy we went with Avenir. It was the most perfect day ever! read more

Avenir was the perfect venue for our wedding. All of the details were covered by our event producer, Sydney, and the rest of the Saphire Event Group team. The venue was beautiful even before the renovations, but I could not believe how magical Avenir became after everything was complete. We were the first outdoor wedding after the gardens were renovated and we received countless compliments on the wonderful scenery. We also received compliments all night regarding the delicious food, both passed appetizers and main courses, and all of the support including bartenders and wait staff. Overall, we would recommend Avenir and the SEG team for anyone's wedding. They preserved as much cost as they could for us, were incredibly professional, and make our special day perfect in every way. read more

I literally cannot say enough good about The Saphire Event Group! From the first day of touting their venues to the day after my wedding, the service given to me was nothing short of perfect. Patti Prior made the booking at The Avenir a breeze and the package was an excellent value. Sydney Davis is an angel on Earth. Everything I needed over the course of the year leading up to my wedding, she was there answering questions and making recommendations. My guests were so happy with waitstaff, the food, the drinks and the beauty this venue was. I don't know why anyone would go anywhere else read more

My wife and I booked Avenir just as they had changed ownership. The venue is stunning especially after the Sapphire Event Group added their special touch to it. We met with our producer Hillary on many occasions. She was easy to work with, responsive, and obviously knew what she was doing. The level of detail that the Sapphire Event Group drills down to is amazing. The wedding was perfect; from the service to the food. Nothing could have been done better. People are saying how it was one of the best weddings they had been to. I highly recommend Avenir! read more
