I cannot say enough amazing things about The Monastery and their staff. From the day we stepped foot in the building to tour it to our wedding day, we felt all the love. We hired Ali to help us in the planning process and she made everything so easy and stress free. Seeing Kris coordinate every little thing on the day of was incredible to watch. Thank you ALL for making our day better than we could’ve imagined!

Beautiful venue. The owner took us on a great tour. It is quite obvious that this is a great venue. There are not many dates open for the year of 2025. That in itself should tell you how great this venue is.

I can't even put into words how incredible our wedding was at the Monastery. Not only is the venue STUNNING, the staff is AMAZING! Ali was incredible to work with throughout the planning stages of our wedding and was so helpful and quick to respond with any questions we had. Kris, our day of coordinator, is the sweetest person I have ever met! She made our wedding day run flawlessly, was always there if we needed anything, and was more than helpful. The Monastery staff is top notch! Thank you again for making our wedding day everything we could have dreamed of and more!

Beautiful history, beautiful building, beautiful company. I love walking to the top of mount adam’s and seeing the beautiful monastery owned now by Towne Properties. Definitely worth the little drive up.

My husband and I attended a wedding at this event center one week ago. The space itself is really beautiful. The food was amazingly delicious and service was above and beyond. My only complaint is that the cocktail hour was held in a heated tent outside. This was a February wedding and the outside temperature was freezing. The heater only came from one side of the tent and definitely did not warm the space at all. After an hour standing in open-toed sandals with 3 in of open space under the tent walls my feet were literally numb walking back inside. A great place but wait for warmer weather to attend.

The Monastery is absolutely hands down, the best place to have a wedding. My, now wife and I were blown away by the venue when we had a tour and booked the venue.
Now having just had our wedding there, it was even more perfect. Amazing staff, top to bottom. Shout out to kris for all wedding day questions and coordinating with vendors and behind the scene staff. She is absolutely amazing. Everything we did at this venue was perfect, lighting, music, food, drinks etc.
My wife and I are both blown away by The Monastery the staff and location. All family from out of town can’t stop talking about it and that’s what you want. To leave a lasting impression! A++

The Monastery Event Center is a fantastic venue where you can do it all. We photographed a wedding here this past July and it was fantastic. It is amazing to be able to have your ceremony and reception all at one location. This allowed our couple to have plenty of relaxation time together and eliminated the stress of driving around to several locations.The wedding coordinator, Kris, was so helpful, communicative, and kind throughout the entire process from beginning to end. We cannot wait to return back to photograph at this beautiful venue!

10/10 recommend! Absolutely wonderful venue - from the staff, the space, food and service - everything was amazing! We worked with Ali since booking the venue and she was so easy to work with, professional, patient and helpful. On the day of our event, Kris could not have been more on top of things. She kept everything running smoothly and went above and beyond with fixing my dress and videoing our sparkler exit. Knowing Kris was there, I didn't have to worry about anything. Doug was absolutely wonderful as well. He was always so friendly when visiting the venue and made a point to speak to my husband and I and our guests on the night of our reception. The efficiency of the food services was impressive to watch! We received so many compliments on the food, the space and the staff. Couldn't have asked for a better reception space; we are only sad it is over! So much thanks to all at The Monastery who make it an exceptional place to be!

The dedication, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence from the entire team at The Monastery made our wedding day truly extraordinary. Our profound thankfulness and admiration held for the team's efforts are beyond words.From the inception of the wedding planning journey, The Monastery demonstrated exceptional thoroughness and clear communication with us as a couple and with all third-party vendors. They created a seamless and stress-free planning process, allowing us to savor the anticipation of our special day. Special thanks to Ali and Trevor for always being available to promptly address any inquiries.The culinary experience at The Monastery was an absolute standout, with countless guests praising the exquisite hors d'oeuvres, the tempting grazing table at the cocktail hour, the well-stocked and quick-moving bars, and, especially the dinner itself, which exceeded restaurant quality. I still dream of the aged cheddar mashed potatoes! The chef's ability to provide a one-of-a-kind food experience is truly unmatched, making The Monastery an unparalleled choice for hosting weddings. The service staff was exceptional, working tirelessly and offering warm smiles that made us, as the guests of honor, feel truly special.The natural beauty of the building itself is enchanting and enough of a reason to book with The Monastery, but it's the dedication and top-notch service from every member of the staff, both administrative and service, that elevates The Monastery to a league of its own in terms of wedding venues. From my perspective as the bride, everything unfolded flawlessly- but I am fully aware that there was a tremendous effort behind the scenes to ensure this smooth and seamless experience.Doug Betz, the owner, made a strong vow to my parents during our initial tour years ago - a commitment to treat our wedding with the same attention as he would his own children's weddings. It instilled trust and admiration for The Monastery from the inside out. I can genuinely affirm that Doug and the entire team not only upheld this promise but surpassed it. My husband and I are confident that any couple who chooses The Monastery is in for a once-in-a-lifetime, smooth, delicious, and thoughtful experience.
