Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Located in a historic downtown landmark, this suite of event spaces provides a dazzling array of versatile backdrops for your celebration. The Romanesque Revival building, constructed in 1885 as the city's first skyscraper, features grand arches, sparkling chandeliers, vaulted ceilings, and marble floors.
- The Fountain Room is a breathtaking nine-story atrium filled with natural light. It makes an absolutely stunning ceremony or reception location, with its massive exposed-brick waterfall feature, warm vintage lamp post lighting, and gleaming wood flooring.
- Sawyers on 5th offers unique boho-industrial touches, like an original banker’s safe, exposed brick columns, and stunning original stone window sills, with massive floor-to-ceiling windows that frame views of the iconic Bob Dylan mural and the sparkling city skyline.
