From the reviews

Just hosted my wedding at Nova 33 this past Friday and I am so happy with the outcome! The space is beautiful and our coordinator, Marla was AMAZING! She always put me first in making sure everything was how I wanted it to be and was such a huge help along the way. She made me feel special on my special day.

We had our daughter's Quince at Nova 33 last weekend. The venue looked absolutely beautiful and the staff were lovely and attentive. We added the Coffee cart, Desserts and Photo Booth and they were a huge hit! Our experience was wonderful because Marla is truly the BEST.

★★★★★ — Christine, Nov 2025

I super recommend this place for all your events. My boyfriend and I celebrated our son’s birthday 3 weeks ago and it was just the best service. MARLA was our event coordinator and she was very helpful throughout the party. The servers are always checking up on you to see if you need a drink or something.

Getting married at Nova 33 Event Center

Nova 33 Event Center comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.

Corporate events & private parties at Nova 33 Event Center

Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Nova 33 Event Center — barn venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
