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.
This venue is absolutely breathtaking! It's the perfect blank canvas for whatever event you want and you're able to really create the wedding for YOU. While all the events use the same space, it's incredible how different the space looks depending on what you want to do with it. Viviana was our venue manager and she was incredible! She asked all the right questions to get an idea of the event we wanted and was able to provide us with inspiration from past events to give us a better idea of the possibilities in the space we rented. She is also not your typical venue manager that disappears after you book the space, she is diligent, responsive and helpful in her suggestions. Her organization is impeccable as she never forgot any of our own event details despite having so many events occur in the space. As our wedding was during the COVID-19 period, she was extremely understanding in the frequently changing landscape.
Amazing. Would come back in a heart beat! The atmosphere was phenomenal!
