Union Trust

beautiful venue, wonderful food and bar service!
I usually find up-​lighting to be tacky but it works in this place to create soft lighting and intrigue.
Excellent food spreads for the benefit that I attended here. The oysters, pasta dishes, and Mediterranean appetizers were nicely executed.
Friendly bartenders and excellent cocktails!

Best Venue Ever!!! We had our wedding there last month and I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about it. The staff, venue, food and overall experience was absolutely superb. Michelle and Thomas helped us with everything we needed. Kid you not, all of our guests said it was by far the best wedding they had ever been to. I highly recommend this venue to anyone who is looking into it for their wedding (or any special event). It was the BEST day of our lives and we are both eternally grateful for them. 5 stars… 5 thumbs up… 5 high fives… 5 of everything.
Thank you Union Trust for making our wedding the most memorable night ever.

We just got married there a week ago and I have been receiving nonstop text messages and phone calls raving that ours was «the best wedding I’ve ever been to!!» I never order filet mignon at weddings because it’s never up to standard, but it was melt-​in-​your-​mouth delicious at Union Trust. Michelle Finley and Thomas Fowler are true professionals and everything was seamless from start to finish. I didn’t even find out until the next day how much they helped my mom. One of my friends showed up in the same dress as her and she wanted to go back to her hotel room since she had a backup dress. She forgot her room key, had no license on her and isn’t from the area so didn’t have a clue what to do. Someone on staff (I have a feeling it was Thomas) called the Loews Hotel to have a room key waiting for her, negotiated car fare to/​from the hotel AND gave her $ 20 to cover the ride when she realized she didn’t have cash on her. This is one example of how they completely exceed expectations. I wish I could re-​live the day/​night over and over.

The balcony works better in theory than in practice for a cocktail hour. The balcony is sort of like a long hallway, and I thought it was hard to move through all of the guests during the cocktail hour. It made it so people were forced to bunch up when trying to get to the bar or the food.
The meal wasn’t my favorite, but I would definitely recommend the steak over some of the other options. The sides on the plates seemed to be the same no matter what dinner was ordered.
The venue room is very nice, especially the ceiling. I think the biggest draw of Union trust is the look of the place, it’s a unique looking place.
All of the staff that I interacted with were pleasant and helpful.

What more can I say other than it was a great experience for our entire family. We chose Union Trust based on the reputation of Finley Catering combined with the venue being so over the top. It has been almost two weeks since the Reception and I’m still getting texts, emails, and phone calls from those who attended saying it was the «Best Wedding Reception They Have Ever Been To». A truly unique location. Great food, Great service, and Great people to work with. Do yourself a favor. If you are in the 180 attendee range PLEASE do not miss out on a night you will NEVER forget.

I wish there were more stars to rate our experience with Union Trust! My husband & I just had our wedding here on the 4^th of July, 2015 & it was hands-​down the best party ever. Friends & family had an outstanding time & not a single thing went wrong. From day one, Tom Finley & his team led by Thomas Fowler & Stacey Mullen were beyond professional, kind, patient & flexible. Our contract was the best of about 10 places we checked out for a summer wedding in the city. The food was outstanding & the service was the best I’ve experienced at any event. Thomas & Stacey will bend over backwards to help you & make you feel like you are the only priority. We were able to lock in a pre-​wedding meeting with each of them, we had a free tasting months prior to make the best selections we could, a rehearsal run-​through, a 2 hour after-​party, etc… I cannot speak highly enough about our experiences here. This venue is stunning, new & nothing like you’ve ever seen. The building provides for the most perfect pictures & your guests will be stunned by the ambiance. Finley Catering & Union Trust made my wedding the absolute best it could have been — we strongly recommend Union Trust to anyone thinking about a CC wedding!

Was there for a wedding in June of 2015. Stunning venue, excellent food, all around great atmosphere. The staff and Maitre D’ were very pleasant and attentive to the guests. An all around great experience. Only thing I didn’t care for was the unisex restroom on the main floor next to the bar. I personally prefer separate men/​women restrooms, which the second level did have.

Really pretty space for events, came here for a showcase of sorts that I randomly found out about. The catering was pretty good, highlights were crab cakes, and a short rib passed appetizer. The bar was well stocked with Yards beer and all types of booze. Staff was great, bartenders were fast.
There is an entrance to the bar from the women’s bathroom, so twice while I was in the bathroom a man walked through with alcohol.

Beautiful location and they have crab cakes to die for.

Finley Catering has done it again. As a fan of the Crystal Tea Room, I was excited to check out their new venue Union Trust during their sneak peak, charity preview party.
To start, the venue is gorgeous. While more recently it was a steakhouse, the building was originally a bank. They don’t build banks the way they use to anymore because this historic building was decked out with great architecture and high ceilings. Add some modern lights to mix and you’ve got yourself a regal atmosphere.
We were able to sample some appetizers throughout the event. There were both passed hors d’oeuvres and tables with food. One table had various sliders (pesto chicken, cheese burger & pulled pork) and crab cakes, while the table upstairs had a pasta station. I sampled a little of each slider and could see myself enjoy them during a wedding or fancy event.
There was one bar on the main floor and two upstairs. At one point one of the bartenders had to ask for new glasses and more ice and seemed a little frustrated, so I guess there were some new venue growing pains. They were a little slow to clear used dishes from the tables, and the trays started to build up if you tried to bus yourself. I’m sure they’ll get this worked out.
They were offering tours but I didn’t have a chance to take one. I’d be curious to see how a wedding would be set up between the two floors. The way everything was laid out, one would think the dinner tables would be on the main floor. I’m wondering what use the second floor would have during a wedding. Perhaps a space for cocktail hour?
Anyone want to have a wedding there and invite me? From my experience at the sneak peak, I’d be happy to go back as a guest.

Holy fancy batman! This place took atmosphere to the extreme in the best of ways. Make no mistake, there is more than just Union Trust’s good looks to talk about. During the sneak peak event, they were packed but still put out great eats and kept bar service smooth.
