We enjoyed having Trolley Square as our reception venue. Alanna is great! They made sure everything ran smoothly and answered all our questions. Food was delicious!
I had my wedding reception at Pullmans in September & it was amazing!!! Alanna (the events manager) is the real deal. She is a force of nature! So helpful & attentive & responsive ...
to our billions of questions in the months leading up to it. She helped us pull off everything we envisioned. On the wedding day everything went so smoothly! We got SO MANY compliments from our guests about the food. The service was quick & the staff was friendly. I'd recommend this venue even just based on the private patio alone!! It was a beautiful night out there on the river, it provided incredible photo ops & sometimes we had to drag people inside to the dance floor because the patio was so lovely! Everything was very reasonably priced as well. I would 10/10 recommend a Pullmans wedding to anyone. Thanks again Alanna & Pullmans!!!
Alanna (Pullman's wedding coordinator) was absolutely amazing to work with. She responded within 24 hours every time and was very organized. She walked us through portions of the c...
eremony and wedding we hadn't thought of. I cannot sing her praises loud enough! As for the venue, everyone LOVED the food and many said it was some of the best wedding food they've ever had. People loved the riverfront photo ops and the patio overlooking the river. A fantastic location for all - plenty of room inside to socialize and dance and a designated, covered patio for those who would rather skip the dance floor. We could not be happier with how our wedding day turned out and Pullmans/Alanna get lots of credit for pulling things together seamlessly! Oh, and they worked with the DJ and cake baker too, so I barely had to coordinate anything there! Highly, highly recommend!!

The staff at Trolley Square made my quests feel warm and welcome, and we had the best night of our lives!! I would recommend Trolley Square to anyone looking for a beautiful venue, delicious food, and complete professionalism from the staff! Thank You so much for making my wedding day amazing!!!
