Best decision of our whole wedding process!

Venue 1223 and Downtown Catering and their whole staff were incredible from start to finish. They allowed us to build and execute the most amazing New Year’s Eve wedding. Olivia helped us every step of the way, always giving great advice along the way. Our guests had nothing but good things to say about the venue and the food! We couldn’t have pictured anything more perfect. If you’re looking for a venue that will step back and let you create your dream from scratch and give you the support you need, look no further!

Absolutely Incredible Work

I can not recommend Downtown Catering highly enough to other couples who are getting married. Downtown catering did a wonderful job by providing so many different menu options to ensure we could serve our guests exactly what we wanted. Their presentation was great. The staff was professional. We were very happy with how it turned out!
Our coordinator that we hired with Downtown Catering, Olivia, MADE our wedding everything that it was. Olivia was so responsive, proactive, and did not overlook a single detail in the planning phase of our wedding. She made sure that each vendor knew their role and what to do on the day of the wedding. She was always so kind and patient with me when I had questions. On the day of the rehearsal and the wedding she showed up early and with a smile. She worked so hard the entire day and made sure I was relaxed and had everything I needed. Our wedding wouldn’t have been all that it was without her help.
