The venue was great minus one worker who sat in the foyer in a dress with her legs wide open playing on her phone. And for sitting on the table by the bar with all my deserts on it. Being the bride I asked if she worked there and she said no then got up and walked to sit behind the bar.

We had an amazing experience at The Midnight Gem! The venue is beautiful, unique, and created the perfect setting for our wedding day. Everything ran smoothly, and our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the space. A special thank you to Jordan, the owner and day-of coordinator, who went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of. Amelia was also wonderful and incredibly helpful throughout the day. Their support allowed us to relax and truly enjoy our wedding. We highly recommend The Midnight Gem to any couple looking for a stunning venue and an amazing team!

Such an amazing all-in-one wedding venue! Service was great, there was tons of room inside and out, and the putting green was a big hit and kept the little kids (and big kids) busy.
