I can't recommend this venue enough

The staff at the Gladstone were so accommodating, kind and professional - they really made our day more than perfect. The atmosphere is so cool, the food is absolutely incredible, and they provide all the essentials for the venue (no renting tables, chairs etc!). Try to book the tower suite if you can - it is a beautiful two story apartment style room complete with kitchenette. It was the perfect size to get ready in (4 bridesmaids, two moms and me), we got our hair and makeup done on the first level while my husband got ready on the second level, and we had our first look on the roof!

They really made our day so stress free, I can't thank everyone at the Gladstone enough.

Great experience - would recommend 10/10!

We loved the Gladstone and had a perfect night! It felt like we just showed up and the night went exactly as planned around us. They were flexible when we had a few last minute changes, and completely attentive the day of the wedding. It was perfect!

A Brilliant Evening. Thank you Gladstone!

From our wedding coordinator, to our technician, bartenders and servers - everyone was wonderful to work with. Our wedding coordinator was really wonderful to work with, and we always felt like she cared about our experience and our big day. The food was DELICIOUS, our guests raved about how fresh and tasty it was. I recommend this venue for everyone, but especially same sex couples as you can be assured of a very friendly and welcoming experience.

Beautiful venue great service

We were very happy choosing the Gladstone hotel as our wedding venue. We were fairly last minute and Sarah was extremely patient and responsive with our ever changing needs and questions. We wanted something that wasn’t just another boring chicken dinner for our guests and Sarah was able to help us customize the style of wedding. Her professionalism definitely added to the overall great experience of hosting our big day. We spent no money on decor because the venue itself is beautiful and the bridal suite rental was also fabulous. There’s great art already and it’s a very photogenic space. We would definitely recommend getting the tower suite as well. Overall, we are lucky that we went with this venue and lucked out with Sarah as well. We had some top contenders when we were looking at venues but we were pretty sold on Gladstone based on its ambience and our initial contact with Sarah. You just have to visit the venue and get the feel for it yourself!
