“We had our wedding here and it was amazing! The staff was so helpful and kind! The whole day went off without a hitch. We had our ceremony downstairs and our reception upstairs. It was roomy and elegant. Our photos from our big day turned out great with all of the details of the old architecture and details. I highly recommend this place to any looking for an all in one place wedding/party event spot! Communication with the venue was easy and seamless. Could not have chosen a better place to marry my best friend.”

“My husband and I had a small wedding and reception at Historic 512, which couldn't be more perfect! It's a beautiful venue with so many good spots for wedding photos. Melissa, the coordinator, is beyond helpful and amazing! She was always in contact with me with updates and when you're stressed about planning a wedding, the best thing in the world is people who are good communicators. I would 1000% recommend this venue to everyone for their wedding.”
