"South Congress Hotel was the perfect venue for our wedding. The hotel itself is beautiful, modern and sleek while still being warm and inviting. Everyone we worked with, from Erin and Lexi on the events team, to the front desk staff, to our bartenders and servers, were super friendly, attentive, and awesome to work with. The indoor reception space is the perfect neutral backdrop for whatever your heart desires as a wedding couple, and the outdoor courtyard space is beautiful...."
