We cannot thank everyone at TWM enough for our most perfect day. The staff was so attentive and professional and our coordinator Lilly Derra is our favorite person. We are so lucky to have been paired with her as she made the whole process so seamless and fun. We have received so many compliments from our guests about their experience and that it was one of the best weddings they have ever attended. They also cannot stop talking about the food! Thank you for everything!

We seriously could not have asked for anything better. Our wedding day was perfect! Nicole is amazing and was so sweet and helpful through the whole planning process. Your staff was so friendly on the day of our event, so many people went out of their way to make positive comments to us about them after our wedding. The venue was beautiful and everything came together exactly how we hoped. Thank you so much for everything!!😊
We got so many compliments on the venue, staff, and food! Everyone was very impressed and the team was great to work with! I would love to have another event with you in the future!

To say that expectations were met would be an understatement. From the planning to the day of the wedding, everything was perfect. It was our dream come true wedding and I’m certain that we would not have had the same experience anywhere else. All of the guests had the best things to say about the venue, the staff, and all of the fine details. It seriously was a picture perfect day/night. Could not recommend the War Memorial any more!!
