I just had my wedding reception at Lumen and everything went perfectly. Scenery-wise, you can't beat the gorgeous old building and the two-story windows. It really needed little decoration given the details already in the room. The lighting makes for a fun extra color boost, and we used it to accent our floral centerpieces. I also liked the little bench that runs along the windows, which added nice chatting space to the room away from the dinner tables. There is a really neat mezzanine level that looks out over the main room, and they had it set up with a bar and cocktail tables for our event. There is usually lounge furniture, but we moved it downstairs next to the dance floor for the party, which turned out to be a really good move.
Natalie was always quick to respond to questions, and was a great help at making suggestions to reduce/enhance the budget. We had our guest numbers bounce around so it went both directions at different times. They were really flexible in the set-up, entrance and timing. The food was delicious, and they had a huge number of options for appetizers, entrees and sides. I got compliments on all of it from friends that would have no problem saying otherwise. A half-complaint would be the weak drinks, but at a wedding I think that is more of a benefit than not, particularly when someone gets the brilliant idea to do tequila shots. They were super accommodating and very helpful with all of the late changes we had with seating and schedule. read more
