A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
Read More Show Less- It's got a great location at the heart of historic Motor Row, easily accessed by both car and public transport. Five 4-star hotels are within walking distance, and the area's restored vintage storefronts offer tons of cool photo opportunities.
- The loft-style space is filled with natural light, which streams in through arched windows and an enormous skylight. A gleaming wood floor practically begs you to dance on it, while exposed brick and ductwork add industrial charm.
- Your package includes lots of helpful on-site services and amenities—lounge furniture, farm tables, a photo booth, uplighting, coat check, door security, and more—that will give you peace of mind.
