I had my wedding here and it was amazing. They had room and space to do everything needed. Bridal and groom space. Plenty of restrooms. And the out door patio made cocktail hour one to remember.

It was truly a pleasure working with the owners and staff at Onyx Event Venue. The space is exceptionally accommodating, offering ample room for large gatherings while seamlessly supporting both indoor and outdoor event experiences. From a coordination standpoint, communication was efficient and consistent. The ownership team remained accessible, responsive, and solution-oriented throughout the planning and execution process. The two attending staff members delivered exceptional service, demonstrating professionalism, attentiveness, and a clear commitment to guest experience from start to finish. Overall, Onyx Event Venue exceeded expectations. I would confidently recommend this venue to anyone seeking a well-managed, versatile, and high-quality space for their next event.

The Onyx Venue that hosted our Sarah Rector Day Celebration exceeded every expectation and helped transform a historic moment into an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, Carla and her husband (event owners) treated our event with a level of care, professionalism, and genuine warmth that made everyone feel welcomed and valued. Their attention to detail—whether it was the room setup, sound quality, accessibility, or the seamless coordination behind the scenes—reflected a true commitment to excellence. The space itself was immaculate, beautifully maintained, and perfectly suited for a celebration rooted in legacy, pride, and community. Guests repeatedly commented on how comfortable, elegant, and inviting the atmosphere felt. Carla and venue team worked with us every step of the way, anticipating needs before we even voiced them and ensuring that the flow of the program was smooth and stress‑free. What stood out most was their respect for the significance of the day. They didn’t just host an event—they honored a legacy. Their support helped us celebrate Sarah Rector’s story with dignity, joy, and unity, and for that we are deeply grateful. I wholeheartedly recommend this venue to anyone planning a meaningful gathering. Their professionalism, hospitality, and heart made our celebration truly extraordinary.

The venue was nice and roomy. The DJ got off to a rough start, which had no bearings on the venue. The smoking area in the back would be nice if there was a shelter of some sort to keep the rain off the smokers
