Needed a space for a wedding Rehearsal Dinner that could also accommodate the wedding REHEARSAL since the wedding venue couldn’t do it the night before the wedding (they could only do 3-4 days prior which wasn’t plausible). I booked the 425 venue & chose them to cater & provide a cash bar. The 425 space is very nice. Staff was great to work with. I deeply appreciated merely arriving and everything was set up & decorated to my liking. Not only a dining space but a “mock” ceremony spot with chairs, alter, microphone. I do not live in Springfield or even Missouri so all of the extra provisions were important. If you need a smaller event space, I highly recommend. Many of our guests expressed appreciation for the space. Locals in attendance expressed interest in recommending to others. One added event element that all of the guests loved was the “mirror/selfie machine”. It enabled so much laughter & silliness…and they sent all of the fun pictures to me afterward on Google Drive. I took the video & picture on the day I stopped to look at 425 in person (not during my use).

425 Downtown Events & Catering went above & beyond to make our day exactly what we wanted. Rebekah & her team were a delight to work with, they answered our questions in a timely manner (usually within 1-2 hours) & trust me, I had A LOT of questions. The service, friendliness of the staff & the quality of the food were EXCELLENT!!! The venue was quaint & perfect for our wedding/reception of around 80 people. If you are looking for OUTSTANDING customer service, people who actually care about their product/service and making your event all that you want it to be, book with them! You won't be disappointed! I can't say enough about how amazing they were! My day was PERFECT & I would recommend them again and again!

They also delivered to our venue which was over sixty miles away from their location. The food arrived hot and on time, early actually. In addition, their office manager Rebekah was great to work with, responding in a timely manner to all emails and being helpful with information in response to the many questions I had 🙂 Thank you for helping make our special day a success!!
Had my wedding here and the staff and wedding planner were all really great and the price was very reasonable and I appreciate that, it was nice to be able to enjoy my wedding in my hometown and not have to go outside of Springfield.
