I photographed a wedding here and had a great experience at the venue and with their staff!
What a cool venue for a wedding. Awesome patio too overlooking the city.
Very good venue for a function during a family wedding.
A great location for a wedding.
We had a wonderful time working with Namita and the Symes team for our wedding! The venue was beautiful and the perfect space for our friends and family to gather. We loved how we got to move to a different space for the ceremony, cocktails, and reception. The weather was beautiful, and our guests loved the tented space outside. The Symes team was very flexible with our requests along the way and it really felt like they wanted us to have the wedding of our dreams! Would highly recommend!
We recently hosted our daughter’s wedding here. The venue provided the perfect setting and vibe for what turned out to be a magical celebration! Viviana and team were truly a pleasure to deal with from start to finish, and were always responsive and accommodating. Everything was simply amazing!
There for a wedding The venue was nice and spacious...Food however from heur derves, main course to dessert, the best I have ever had at a formal function. 10/10
I photographed a wedding at the Symes and it was the ultimate experience! They accommodated such amazing food stations, room flips, and two cocktail hour time slots! They were so amazing and every single dish was phenomenal! The space was set up beautifully as well!
We had an unbelievable time at the Symes and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wedding venue! Namita and her team at the Symes embraced us with the kindest, most organized and professional service after our original venue declared bankruptcy. We had the second floor Scarlett room for our 135+ person wedding, and the room was seamlessly transformed between the ceremony and reception. The lovely team of Natalia, Barbara, and Leshia (apologies if spelled wrong) took great care of us and set everything up while letting us enjoy our evening. We loved the art-deco backdrop with some string lights for warmth. The rooftop terrace was perfect for cocktails during the sunset, and the bar staff were very attentive. Our photographer, florist, and late-night food vendor also received top notch support from the Symes team. We used Spotify and lit up the dance floor thanks to Sole Power. Aside from the beautiful accommodations, the people at the Symes made it all incredible. If I could get married there again I would!
We held our wedding at the Symes and couldn't have asked for a better venue and team to do it with. Namita and the team were so helpful since day 1 and the venue is stunning. The entire venue is beautifully done, and it's a blank canvas, so we could really make it our own. Highly recommend!
