Millennium Event Center — Attraction in Winston-Salem

Doyle-Bass Wedding 7/2316 The Millennium Center creates incredible Memories that last a lifetime!!! Choosing to have the Rehearsal Dinner, Wedding, and Reception there was the best decision my daughter ever made! She fell in love with the architecture of the building, which is amazing; but the best part of this place is Greg Carlyle, the owner; Kaitlyn, the event coordinator; and his staff!! They are, without a doubt, the best in the business. We had the rehearsal dinner in the lower level Speak Easy area, and it is beautiful. Such atmosphere. Has wrapped white lighting across the ceiling, brick columns, a bar, small dance floor, sound access and is perfect for a romantic evening event. The wedding was in the Grand Ballroom and it is awesome! The ceiling is hung with crystal chandeliers, and crystal draping with large columns washed in uplighting in your choice of colors or white. The sound system is unbelievable and is available for your DJ or band to use. The cocktail hour was in the huge hall and sitting area adjacent to the bar, which was serviced by properly dressed wait staff and bar tenders.. The reception was also in the Ballroom, which had been converted for dinner and dancing--all in a matter of one hour. There are beautifully adorned tables with gold chargers, centerpieces, candle light, bow tie napkins, --anything you ask for-; along with all the specialty tables--candy buffet, guest registry, gift table, bridal portrait, cake table, photo booth & props. Everything was perfect ! The DJ was center stage, with the couple's Logo on the dance floor. Now for the Food! I will tell you we heard raves all night about the food. Greg's chef and his staff out did themselves. They prepared our rehearsal dinner, food for cocktail hour, reception dinner and everything was perfection. The wait staff was so attentive to everyone, including preparing special meals for the kiddies, vegetarians, and those with certain allergies. There is nothing they cannot handle. On wedding day, Greg made sure the Bridal Party -20 of them- were not forgotten. He prepared food, of our choice, and delivered it to the dressing areas, for the guys downstairs and the ladies on the main floor. This included Mimosas, which they loved! Immediately after the ceremony, he had food and drinks ready to grab as they boarded a trolley for outside photos. This special service kept them fed and hydrated, in what otherwise would have been a 12 hour day without a break. As the Bride and Groom prepared to leave at 11 pm, in a white horse and carriage, sweet Kaitlyn (Greg's event coordinator) knew Monica & Joey had never had time for dinner. She ran to the carriage, with dinner for two, and placed it on the seat for them to have when they arrived at their destination. This meant SO much to them and they enjoyed the wonderful reception meal together. If all this does not convince you, let me just tell you this. As a mother of the bride, I arrived late with the photographer waiting on the wedding gown. In the rush of getting inside, I ran to the trunk and found I had locked the car with the dress inside! I walked into Greg's office, totally panicked, knowing my daughter would be beyond upset. Greg calmly said, "It's ok. We'll get it. Don't tell her." He got on the computer, got AAA on the phone, explained the emergency, gave directions, and I gave them my information. Long story short, Greg met AAA, got the dress out, and the bride never knew until hours later. He is SO Amazing! Would never go anywhere but The...

You can't go wrong with the Millennium Center! We held our November 21st, 2015 wedding reception here and it was absolutely FANTASTIC! Greg Carlyle and his team were phenomenal and absolutely an integral part to pulling off such a special evening. Literally, my every wish/request was granted! Through all of the planning and decor & vendor selections, Greg was there to assist with suggestions and referrals and never once steered me wrong. And then to the actual day of, from getting ready in the bridal suite to tearing up the dance floor in to the night, we could not have asked for a more perfect celebration. The building itself is so special and really just a sight to behold and then on top of that, the support staff really has the wedding thing down to a science. One item that was really important to me was that the food be mind-blowing, and Chef Pat and Artisan really delivered - people are still talking about the MASSIVE charcuterie display. Also, I remember at first being a bit wary about not hiring a day of coordinator, but just as Greg reassured me, we stayed completely on schedule and the event flowed flawlessly. Our reception was simply perfection, and I am just SO thankful for the Millennium Center and team for all that they did to pull it off. This place is the epitome of elegance and like I stated in the beginning of this review, you can't go wrong with the...

I had my wedding here in October 2021 and I can't even begin to describe how amazing it was. The food was fantastic and the atmosphere was just stunning. We invited people from all over the country and EVERYONE was blown away by the food. This venue has so much history and character -- our photos from the day are unbelievable. The staff went above and beyond to make our day extra special and we are just so grateful.

Regarding COVID, The Millennium Center made us feel very safe and reassured during the whole process. The staff was masked and our guests felt very comfortable and safe because of the precautions they took both on and before our wedding day. We really appreciated this. This was my dream wedding and the staff at The Millennium Center made it happen. They communicated with me every step of the way and were flexible and kind throughout the wedding planning process. I had countless people tell me this is one of the best weddings they've ever been to.

Definitely get married here if you want to work with someone who really cares about your experience -- because that's clearly a priority to the folks at The...
