Here’s my honest review of The Monarch Room:
We booked this venue early in 2023. There were only a handful of Saturdays available and we luckily got a date we loved. It’s downtown and was exactly was we wanted in a venue. Being LGBT was a non-issue.
The owner, Megan, was super helpful and communicative.
This was the easiest process for booking. The venue was open vendor, they provided the bartenders, they offered security as an add-on if desired. I believe 250 max guest count.
There’s a full catering kitchen, multiple restrooms, large bar, and 2 get ready areas.
Linen rental and tables and chairs were included, as was all the basic pop and tonic water, etc. Down lights are already in the venue, and the bar lights up. You can even customize the front of the bar with a monogram for an extra fee.
As for service, everything was smooth. We had access at 10am, there was an on-site attendant to help us and coordinate with vendors if needed.
Bartenders were great, they packed it all up for us and did their best to open bottles only as needed. They did our signature drinks great, and couldn’t ask for more. Just make sure you have your guest tip!
As an above and beyond, we had a sentimental item left (even after we thought we got it all) and the owner was able to help us get it back very quickly.
Rules: no confetti, use command strips for decor. It was pretty simple.
I highly recommend. You get a great value for the price and location!
