Attended a wedding and reception. Wow! The first thing was the outter room where people mingled, looked at pictures, dropped off presents. It was handicap accessible and has a wheelchair ramp. It was big enough for people to move around without feeling cramped. Then we moved into the second room where the wedding took place. I didn't count the chairs at, if I had to take a guess, I'd say it seated around 200+ people. It was 'modern elegant'. It isn't 'Queen of England' elegant but, IT IS the type of elegant that young people of today are looking for. Then we moved into the reception hall. WOW! This room is massive! The tables, both sit down and stand up tables, were arranged so that you had plenty of room to move around, sit down and get up from the table without bumping into someone. The decorations are impressive. Then came the food. The bride and groom had 601 cater the food. Not only did they have brisket and chicken tenders and shrimp ettouffee but they had something I'd never had before. They had a mashed potato bar. They served you a scoop of mashed potatoes in a cup. Then you went to a table that had all the fixin's. By the time I finished loading up my mashed potatoes I realized I could have made a meal out of that by itself. That plate, and bowls, of food was awesome! But then I saw someone with fruit. So, I went looking. I found another table with assorted fruit, cheeses, blueberry cream cheese, assorted crackers. So, l make another plate. Now I'm so full I'm happily miserable. The bride and groom made their entrance, danced and mingled. Then they brought out the cakes. Three cakes. I had to try all three to make sure they were ok. And those three different cakes were more than ok, they were absolutely incredible! When I got home I sat in my recliner and fell into a food coma for about five hours. No alcohol, just food. And it was so worth it! So, if you're looking for a meeting place that can be tailored to accommodate from 2 to over 200 people, that can cater with awesome food, 601 Spring St is a location that you should absolutely look into!

We had our wedding at 601 Spring, and it was truly the best decision we could have made. From start to finish, Allie was incredible to work with—she was so communicative, attentive, and full of thoughtful suggestions that helped us make the most of our day. She made the entire process feel seamless and stress-free. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. We rented out the entire building, and every space—from the ceremony area to the reception rooms—had the most beautiful natural lighting. It honestly needs very little décor because it’s already so gorgeous on its own. Our guests are still raving about the food and drinks! Everything was delicious, and the bartenders were fantastic—they were quick, attentive, and even seemed to anticipate what guests would want before they got to the bar. Another huge bonus was having both a bridal suite and groom’s suite on-site, which made getting ready so easy and enjoyable. Overall, 601 Spring exceeded every expectation we had. If you’re considering this venue, don’t hesitate—it truly made our wedding day unforgettable.

We traveled here for a wedding that was very nice at this building with the garage, very convenient. Nice setup for the wedding & reception & the food was delicious. The wedding was special, my lady’s niece’s son, along with the pastor’s words. Nice moment & affair that made the travel special. Nice building for any kind of affair.

This was beautifully recited by the actors. I hung on to every word like it was the last thing I'd ever hear.
