The Commons 1854

Tiffany Picanco

We had our wedding at The Commons in June of 2022 and everything was phenomenal! The venue is stunning, the food is absolutely delicious and the service is really top notch. Multiple guests commented on how much they loved the food and how attentive the staff was throughout the evening. Maura was our day of coordinator and we cannot say enough positive things about her and her ability to keep everything running smoothly. She was always right there when we needed her, from helping with a very difficult bustle, fixing my dress when it was stepped on, and getting a stain out of my husband’s shirt when somebody spilled their drink on him. She really was wonderful and went above and beyond our expectations. The entire team at The Commons made the planning process easy, despite having to postpone our wedding twice due to covid. I can’t express enough how much their kindness and understanding meant to us at a stressful time. If you are looking for a beautiful wedding venue with a phenomenal team, look no further than The Commons 1854.

The Commons 1854 was an absolute dream to work with, with a special shout out to Gianna and Paige. Our journey with them started in 2018 where we planned an April 2020 wedding. After the pandemic began, our April 2020 wedding turned into a November 2020 wedding, and then turned into an October 2021 wedding. Having to reschedule an entire wedding a month before it was supposed to happen was emotionally draining, but the Commons made it so easy for us to pick a new date. We truly thought the excitement we initially had about a wedding would never return, and thought it would be impossible to still have the perfect day we had been waiting for—boy, were we wrong! The Commons team knows their stuff—they know how to help you plan, whether you’re more of a DIY-er or want a lot of assistance. They know the right questions to ask to make sure your special day is truly the celebration you want it to be. While I consider myself a heavy planner, I was thrilled at the idea of being able to let them take the wheel when it got to our wedding day, and to be able to sit back and enjoy. Whether you are more traditional or looking to re-envision what a wedding can be, they are there to support you in bringing that vision to life. I have to take a moment to also talk about the food. THE FOOD. Everyone can think of a wedding they’ve been to where the food just wasn’t very good. Being a couple that loves to eat, tasty food was really important to us. We asked the Commons to help us with a custom menu—breakfast for dinner—and they knocked it out of the park. Our guests were absolutely floored over the mini quiches and chicken and waffles during cocktail hour (I wish I could have eaten 100) and the full breakfast buffet for dinner (I also wish I could have eaten 100 slices of the maple glazed bacon). The venue itself is beautiful—it is stunning enough that you need very minimal decorations, as all spaces really speak for themselves. Our guests talked about how they loved having the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all within just a few feet of another. The day of our wedding was magical—we literally could not stop crying. It’s the little things that at the end of the day, make a big difference. For example, when one of our vendors didn’t show up, their team called to ensure that we still got the items we had rented from the company. After our ceremony, there was a big tray of appetizers and two drinks waiting for us, so that we could enjoy a quiet moment together before joining cocktail hour. They plated our food for us, and made sure that we were having the time of our lives the entire night. You can tell the entire team (from the coordinators, to the bar staff, to the chefs) loves their jobs. Every single person there added something special. You can feel genuine excitement radiating from them. Every day since our wedding my husband and I have been talking about how we wish we could do the day all over again, and that there is not one thing we would change. If you’re looking for a gorgeous venue with incredible food and staff who want to give you the best day possible, look no further than the Commons 1854.
