My wife and I recently hosted our high school 50th/51st class reunion at The Charles Fort Wayne Event Center. It was originally scheduled for June 2020, but due to the COVID restrictions it had to be postponed until later this year. We were very pleased with the outcome. Co-Owners Christine Leto and Michelle McIntire, along with their entire staff greatly assisted us in making this an event our participants will long remember. The facility was beautifully decorated, and the food was outstanding. We had approximately 100 guests and they all commented on how nice the reunion turned out. We continue to receive cards from classmates remarking about how amazing the event turned out. We couldn’t have done this without the assistance of Chris and Michelle who worked with us to ensure that we could host a successful reunion and stay within our budget. We would strongly recommend anyone seeking a reception hall for your event, be it a wedding reception, a reunion, or simply a party to speak with Christine and Michelle before looking any further.
We had our wedding at The Charles in October and it was wonderful. Nicole was phenomenal and made sure the design was exactly what we wanted. We had a minor mishap with the weather, but Michelle stepped in and helped us move things around to have the ceremony inside. Overall it was a great day and a lovely venue!

We held my husbands retirement party in the smaller room, which is beautiful and perfect for a group of 50. Christine and Michelle were great to work with and very helpful with the planning in the months leading up to the event. Nicole worked with us to create decor that was simple and more masculine, but very well done and suitable for the event. During the actual retirement party everything was set up and ready for us and the staff was wonderful. Christine and Michelle were available if we should need anything and the bartender/bar service was perfect. We chose a non-alchoholic bar but there was a very nice variety of beverages for our guests.
A special thank you to Michelle for bringing my husband a big glass of frozen coke when we arrived for the party!! She knew it was a favorite of his and had looked into providing a frozen coke machine for the party. She found one but we chose not to have it. That she remembered our conversation and took time to stop and get that for him was a highlight of the party!
Wonderful place for a wedding reception. Catered food from Shigs in a Pit was way over cooked tho. Pulled pork was dry. Chicken wings were soooo dry. I don't understand why a restaurant would have such a difficult time preparing something as simple as pulled pork & chicken wings. Puzzles me. But, you might want to think twice before ordering catering service from this establishment.
We had our wedding ceremony and reception at The Charles. I have nothing but good things to say about this venue. They are great to work with. You have several meetings to ensure that your special day is just the way that you want it. We worked with the owner of the establishment and a design team. They were a pleasure to work with during the planning and on the actual day of the wedding.
I would recommend this venue to anyone.
We hosted a fundraiser for our non-profit at the Charles. They were amazing! So easy to work with and so quick to help us problem-solve everything that we needed! I would not hesitate to recommend holding an event at the Charles!
The ladies that run the Charles did an excellent job of being responsive and providing a location for our 200+ sold out Women’s event. Our original event was canceled by another vendor and we were scrambling last minute to find a location that would house us. The Charles did a great job setting everything up and even though weddings are their specialty, they facilitated our Women’s event with expertise. I would recommend holding your event here.
