Room at the Top Reception

Room at the Top
We worked with event coordinator Lia to organize everything and she was amazing! She would send us lists of questions about things I never knew to even think of. I would have missed so many things had she not been there to ask. She also organized rentals for us. The only thing we had to worry about was setting up our own table decorations. We were able to go the day before to set everything up. There was a small hiccup with this as there was another wedding setting up for the same day as us in a different room so we were delayed with that. We had about 95 guests and I think the space was perfect for that. It felt close, but I would not go much over that as there were not more spots for tables. Day of Derrick was our head guy that was able to help us out. Something from the bar was missing and he immediately went and got it. They also have a sound system our DJ was able to plug right into. The wait staff was great as well. CON It does not have AC. We didn't think to ask about AC because I just assumed all building has AC. They were amazing and kept the blinds down until we arrived, put fans around and even offered complimentary popsicles to help cool guests down but it was still hot. People went outside if they got too hot and I don't think it was terrible but it was toasty and had it been a 30-degree day with direct sunlight idk how hot it would have gotten.

A hidden little gem

We had our wedding just this past Saturday at the Dinwoodie Lounge. It was perfect. Everyone raved about the food. It was so so good.
the energy, vibes and how helpful everyone was made it a wonderful experience. If I could do my wedding again, I would do it in a heartbeat.
