Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- With its chic, urban design and wide-open floor plan, this thoughtfully renovated private event space is an incredible canvas on which to create your grand celebration. It's the perfect fit for large gatherings, with a versatile layout that can easily accommodate everyone you care about.
- Inside, exposed brick walls, cool poured concrete flooring, and a high ceiling with exposed industrial-style rafters create a loft-inspired vibe. Huge windows allow natural light to fill the room, and eight crystal chandeliers illuminate the party once the sun goes down.
- Lit by neatly strung rows of dimmable café lights, the spacious attached patio is just perfect for your ceremony, cocktail hour, or an al fresco lounge. The easy flow between indoors and out keeps things feeling warm and focused, while allowing everyone on your guest list to spread out across the whole place.
