The alumni center is a beautiful building with lots of variable spaces to make any events work. The interior of the building needs very little decoration as it is elegant and modern. We had a social hour in the Kratt Grand lobby and our reception in the Gransberg room. We had around 114 guests, and it worked perfectly for that number. We had our ceremony at the Hopper Danley chapel which is a package option with the alumni center. The chapel is within a short walk from the alumni center so it was convenient for our guests. The alumni center DOES have dressing rooms. I am not sure why that isn't checked on the amenity list. The alumni center has a short list of approved vendors that you have to choose from if you have your event there. We were still able to find vendors we were happy with, but if you have your heart set on a specific caterer it might not work with this venue. The building has a lot of available parking. We had an issue since our wedding on was welcome weekend and students were using the parking lot for moving into the dorms. The alumni staff contacted campus parking and started to clear the parking lot ahead of our guests arrival. Overall despite a few issues I would recommend the alumni center as a wedding venue. All of our guests have commented on how nice of a venue it was. The staff was communicative and organized, and as a bride that is extremely important.
