Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • Located on the lovely Statler Wilson Commons of West Virginia University, this stately, modern event center boasts a beautiful location in the heart of the Appalachians, and a host of stylish venues outfitted with all the essential amenities.
  • The Alumni Courtyard offers an expansive green space, perfect for al fresco ceremonies and receptions. Or, opt for an indoor celebration, surrounded by the understated elegance of the Ruby Grand Hall.
  • Searching for something more intimate? Consider the Corson Alma Mater room, with its deep-brown wood flooring, inviting fireplace, oversized windows, and digital grand piano.
