“We had the most AMAZING wedding welcome party and rehearsal dinner at Circa 29! The venue and staff are incredible!

We would have stayed the whole night if we could. Anne‘s communication with us leading up to the event was excellent. There’s an amazing sound system already there with mics and we did a DIY karaoke for our guests. The way the venue is decorated is just beautiful and so fun. You don’t need to really bring any extra decor! The bartenders were great! I would highly recommend Circa 29 for any special event — especially a wedding welcome or after party, reception, or rehearsal dinner spot!!! This event was truly the highlight of our wedding weekend and provided us with memories we will always cherish!!”

Communication from the beginning was excellent and they ensured they had everything they needed from us well in advance to make sure the night of the event was smooth and we could enjoy ourselves. The bartenders were incredible. Highly recommend!”
