Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- It’s a century-old warehouse with the perfect mix of industrial history and modern style, artfully refurbished with tons of fantastic amenities and a cool West Town location that offers easy access for both locals and travelers.
- The two-story interior is a stunning display of vintage glam, with lots of beautiful exposed brick, two sleek bars, loads of oversized windows, and a dramatic bowed ceiling supported by soaring wood and iron trusses.
- Packages feature fully transparent pricing and include chef-crafted cuisine, bar service, top-notch staffing, rentals, and the assistance of their experienced planning team, who will coordinate it all and be there on the big day to ensure everything goes beautifully.
