Dream wedding brought to life! If you are looking for a venue to hold your wedding/event – LOOK NO FURTHER! I cannot say enough amazing things about Empyrean and the staff. Alex Kenny was our wedding coordinator and she was the sweetest person to work with. She made everything so easy for us. All the staff were truly wonderful and made our day so fun. We were all stress-free the whole day. Empyrean will take care of pretty much everything for you! Flowers (they did all our bouquets, centerpieces, arch, etc. that are pictured), decorations, table decor/arrangements, menu design, food, drinks, SET UP & TEAR DOWN, coordinating everything, and so much more! If you want your wedding to be a day thats truly about you and your significant other, you must book them. They were nothing but kind to us and I felt so at ease the entire process. Between booking and our wedding date we only had 5 months and thanks to Empyrean, they pulled it off! Our wedding was BETTER than we envisioned and BETTER than we expected!

We were married at Empyrean 8.1.2020. I mainly worked with Alex on all of our planning needs and I really cannot say enough great things about her. She made me feel as at ease as she could while planning our wedding in the middle of the current pandemic. She recommends only vendors that she swears by and pretty much anything you want/ask for, she will make it happen.. My flowers were absolutely AMAZING and the décor did not disappoint. I have read reviews from people complaining about the food and I am so surprised because we were told by most of our guests that the food was some of the best they have ever had at a wedding! Thank you Alex & staff for everything!

When my future wife and I were looking at venues, we were attracted to Empyrean not only because of the gorgeous settings and a 360-view of Fort Wayne, but also because of the professionalism and care Alex Kenny, Rebecca Admire, and the rest of the Empyrean team put into our wedding from our first meeting to the last song at the reception.Alex worked with both of us throughout the year-plus between our first meeting and our wedding to help plan the perfect day for us - from linens and floral arrangements to crafting the menu to the minute detail. On the day of our wedding, Alex and Rebecca were there from start to finish, making sure the wedding went off with no hitches and checking up on us throughout. They also made sure we were not drink-less at any part during the reception!In addition, the venue itself fit perfectly with our basic, no-frills requests with the open tall windows casting a gorgeous sun-lit view during our ceremony. The golden hour also made an appearance during the reception with a beautiful sunset visible across many of the open tall windows as well.We couldnt thank Empyrean enough for being the venue that honored our requests, served delicious food and drinks, and provided amazing service from the top down. Thank you Alex, Rebecca, and all the staff at Empyrean for helping us celebrate an incredibly memorable day!

Attended the most elegant wedding I will ever go to. The staff was phenomenal, and drinks were deliciously creative, and the venue was stunning. Highly recommend this exceptional company!

We booked our wedding venue with Empyrean Events this past May and it was nothing short of amazing. Alex, our wedding coordinator, made sure during the whole process that our vision for the day was exactly what was being planned. From the linens, to the food (we wanted to do stations-highly recommend), to the flow of the night. It was exactly what we imagined and Empyrean made it happen down to the detail. Would totally recommend the whole Empyrean team for any event!

We recently had our wedding at Empyreans new venue, Elysean and oh my gosh was ur wedding was incredible! Alex and Rebecca made sure each detail or our day come together perfectly and the entire staff was the most professional and kind Ive ever seen. Our meal was out of this world delicious, our family hasnt stopped talking about it! In a world that is filled with nothing but complaining I will be endlessly singing the praises of this company. There truly isnt another company that cares as much for their clients and gives their all to them. Thank you so much to you all!

Empyrean for the 2nd year in a row, catered the Parkview Huntington Foundation annual Gala. Their expertise and attention to detail was what brought us back to them for the second year. Each step of the way in decision making was full of ideas and suggestions that allowed for a beautiful experience with both the food and atmosphere created by Alex and her exceptional team. While their location in Fort Wayne is an amazing location to hold events, their ability to bring that same beauty to a remote location was amazing. We couldnt have been happier with their services.

If there were negative stars, Id choose that. Empyrean canceled our event 5 weeks before, due to Covid, kept our $2500 deposit, would not return our $4,500 additional food payment, and is harassing us for an additional $5,000. Unbelievable and downright shameful.

Alex Kenny, Rebecca Admire, and team were a DREAM to work with!! Honestly couldn’t have asked for a better team. The venue is to TO DIE FOR and the team is so on point with EVERYTHING. Their vendor recommendations are the best, and they make the planning process so smooth and efficient. My wedding was the best day ever and it’s all thanks to them. 10/10 for sure!!

If youre looking for the most stellar wedding team in Northern Indiana, youve found it for sure. Renee along with her impeccable team of wedding designers are some of the most creative wedding professionals I have had the pleasure to work with as a wedding photographer.Are you a couple with a crazy and unique dream for your wedding day celebration? I assure you Renee and Alex can make it happen. The view from the 26th floor is unlike any other in the city, the expansive panoramic views invite gorgeous natural light for your ceremony and/or reception, and can we talk about the food??? Hands down the best cuisine for your festivities.Execution of a wedding day has been flawless every time I have had the pleasure of working with them. From the gorgeous bridal suite on the 25th floor with perfect light for makeup application, the relaxed grooms suite with big screens and gaming tables to the breath taking set up of the reception, no detail is left out.Every time, each wedding, every single couple are treated as their top priority, and thats because they are the top priority! If youre looking for that high rise big city feel to your celebration, reserve a consultation with Renee and Alex I promise you will not be disappointed!

Just a quick review to say thank you so much for all your hard work in making our wedding the best day of our lives. It would not have been possible without you all at Empyrean! Ever last detail was perfect and ( as far as we knew 😉 ) there was not 1 little hiccup!! All of our guests had a wonderful time and praised the elegant decor. It was so lovely to see it all come together so beautifully on the day – and that is all down to you guys – thank you so much again! Best wishes, Asia + Abraham DeSantiago!

Wow, what a dream wedding my husband and I had that was brought to life by Empyrean Events and Catering! Alex Kenny (wedding coordinator) was absolutely amazing. Responsive, creative, prompt, sweet, and extremely professional. I would recommend her and Empyrean over and over again. Due to covid, we had to move from having our wedding at their venue to my parents backyard... but Empyrean brought the decor and catering to us. Our guests raved about the catering and presentation of the tables and flowers.My bouquet and bridesmaids bouquets were insane! Seriously, I wouldnt have changed a thing. I would recommend using Empyrean for flowers in a heartbeat!Basically, Empyrean can do absolutely everything for your wedding day, but they also allow you to pick and choose what you utilize them for. It’s pretty awesome. Alex is basically a “built in” wedding plan, and thank goodness for that. She is seriously the best of the best. She keeps everything moving smoothly and is extremely prompt in answering any questions via email or phone. I live in Denver, but she never made it feel like I was planning a wedding from so far away.If I are you planning a wedding, I would look no further and book with Empyrean. It was truly a dreamwedding and they made is so seamless which is what any bride wants and needs! Thank you Alex and to the whole Empyrean team. You are the best!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Empyrean on 1/25/20 and Im going to tell you why you should hire them as well. It was the first venue on our list to check out and once we saw the space and fully understood everything Empyrean does for their couples we were sold. Everything they do is COMPLETELY customized. The ceremony space, the food, the drinks, the flowers and decor, everything. Im sure Im not even listing everything. If youre the type of bride that doesnt want the stress of picking out every individual detail, Empyrean is for you. Alternatively, if you are the type that wants to pick out every detail, Empyrean is also the place for you because they will be as involved as you want them to be. I think the food Empyrean served for the reception was the most talked about thing at our wedding, and for good reason. The food is amazing. Its not just good wedding food, its AMAZING, delicious food that you get to eat at a wedding. Food was one of the top priorities for us and I dont think youll find a better venue/caterer in Fort Wayne than Empyrean. They are truly full service. We had the pleasure of working with Alex and Rebecca during the planning process and both were super helpful, informative and all around fantastic. On the day of the wedding, Alex was there almost the whole day making sure everything was running smoothly. I didnt have to be concerned with the time, what I was supposed to be doing, or what everyone else was supposed to be doing because she was on it and everything was completely taken care of. I cannot express how grateful we are to have chosen Empyrean for our wedding. Just meet with them and see the space and youll be sold on Empyrean too.

Our “best day ever” was truly the best because of Empyrean and the staff – especially Alex. From the very early stages to the final details, Alex was with us every step of the way, making the planning process less stressful. And on the day of the wedding she made sure everything was perfect and flowing as it should. We were extremely happy with the entire process and couldn’t have asked for a more gorgeous venue overlooking Fort Wayne. The best part about Empyrean is that they do it all! From the floral arrangements(which were stunning) to the catering, it was so nice to have it all handled by them. I highly recommend Empyrean and am so happy we chose them for our wedding day!

Truly one of the best venues in Fort Wayne. Alex Kenny is amazing for planning any event. They are always easy to get in contact with, which is so important for a bride full of questions! If youre looking for a high class, breathtaking wedding/event that your guests will talk about for the rest of ever... look no further!!

A big thank you to all the Empyrean staff for all they do for me and the company I work for. The weekly catered lunches are always well planned and tasty - and we get new ideas all the time so no one is bored. Also, thank you so much to Alex and her staff for all the work on our holiday party this past December. I can leave it in her hands to make sure things are taken care of and I never have to worry. The evening was great! The space was beautiful and the food was excellent. Empyrean makes planning a party or even a weekly lunch so easy! Thanks for all you do for me. It is appreciated!

My husband and I got married in May and had our reception at the Empyrean. We worked with Alex and I cannot speak highly enough of her and the rest of the staff. She made the entire wedding planning process stress free and fun - from the food, to decor, and the flowers. Our guests and family continue to comment about our beautiful day and it wouldn’t have been possible without Alex’s hard work. She truly made our day the BEST DAY EVER!Much love and appreciation from your May bride

I cant thank Empyrean enough for all they did to make my wedding perfect! The service we received was just incredible from the moment we arrived until we were packing up at the end of the night. Do not be fooled by others who claim they do the same! Ive been to countless friends weddings recently and there just isnt a comparison. From the food to the flowers, everything was more than we could have ever imagined. Thank you Empyrean for making our wedding day a dream come true!

We had an excellent experience with Empyrean as the reception venue and catering of our wedding in December! We worked with Alex who had wonderful taste and was very professional. We were able to customize our decor, meal and drinks and it all fit to our budget and personal style. We set up cocktail stations where specialty drinks were made and our guests loved it! If you want a custom reception with delicious, well presented food and creative drinks then this is your place to go in Fort Wayne! The view from the 26th floor is beautiful and an added bonus guests. We would do it all over again without question!

The VERY best! For all of the foodies out there who want something their guests will leave raving about after an event, you have found your team. The owners create food that you simply want to photograph EVEN IF you dont like to photograph food. They are food artists. They push the envelope whenever they can. They research. They study. They reinvent. Let them inspire you with food!!!! Pictured below are a few shots of a bride who wanted a family-style meal with lots of color. The hit if out of the ballpark.

Thank you Empyrean Events Catering for the opportunity to grow with your company and the ability to learn and share ideas. Great people to work for there, and an amazing crew to be a part of. This amazing team of people can do a lot you would never imagine. Fort Wayne has some special places and this is one of them. Thanks to everyone at Empyrean!

We cannot say enough good things about Empyrean Events and Catering - we had the absolute best experience! Giang, specifically, ensured the planning process was seamless, fun, and no detail was left untouched. Our day was everything wed envisioned - the best part was the feeling of assurance throughout the whole process that our day would be exactly what we wanted; and thanks to Empyrean, it was!

Was a guest at their venue past weekend, food was great but bartenders couldnt make good drinks and were on the slow side. Kind of ruins good food without a good drink. Hopefully Ill get invited to another one of their events again one day, theyre promising Id still give them a try.

*RESPONSE TO YOUR REPLY BELOW- ALL FACTS HERE, NO SLANDER- EXCEPT YOUR OWN. I DO NOT WORK FOR YOUR LOCAL POST OFFICE- BLAME THEM FOR LATE DELIVERY. FURTHERMORE, YOU DID NOT COMPLETE PAYMENT ON TIME OR READ WHAT I SELL, YET I STILL PULLED STRINGS AND JUMPED THROUGH HOOPS, AGAINST MY BETTER JUDGEMENT BECAUSE YOU ARE CLEARLY A CROOK. AS LONG AS YOUR REVIEW STANDS- SO WILL MINE.SCAM ARTIST & CROOK ALERT!!!!! Do NOT do business with this unprofessional and disgustingly rude and abusive person (Renée Miner, Chief Event Designer) and company/ staff- Empyrean Events and Catering. They attempted to forfeit a contract with me, sneakily tried to avoid paying an expedited handling fee as required, and scammed me into sending them a product that takes me 20 business days to create in 1 business day, without adhering to the agreed policy. They then retaliated on me as a scapegoat because of their own issues with their local post office. I warn all fellow artists and small businesses/ creative entrepreneurs to NOT do business with these people. They take advantage of your skills and labor, and do not respect your craft or the time it takes you to make your work. Renee Miner did not read a single word of what I sell, and manipulated me in an attempt to receive free and complimentary services. When these attempts failed, Renée then retaliated against me with lies in an attempt to slander my name and reputation. I now must consult my personal attorney in seeking legal action for damages against these crooks Empyrean Events and Catering and specifically scam artist Renee Miner for libel and defamation. If you are in Indiana or anywhere else- please don’t waste your time with these frauds like I did and take your business elsewhere. NOT WORTH THE TIME OR AGGRAVATION- DO NOT SUPPORT THESE SCAMMERS & CROOKS!

Horrible horrible management..there was gifts and $$ out of cards missing and they did very little to fix a problem..unless you want to pay 40gs plus for a formal nightmare then go somewhere else for your event. And also a response to the owners reponse***I begged them to get the police involved to prove I had absolutely zero to do with the theft of wedding card money that came up missing when I was upstairs bartending. I asked to get fingerprints, everything I could, and they wouldn’t...Renee just wanted to pin it on someone and I was the new guy. Honestly I do think the food is garbage for the price.
