Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- This 1907 landmark still thrums with the history it made as the city's grandest nightclub: standing beneath its marble columns, ornately gilded balconies, and elaborate frescoed ceiling, you can feel the pulse of the past as it moves through. Today, it's still a beloved concert venue, and a popular place to gather: its flexible layout makes it party-friendly, and there's not a bad seat in the house.
- Say your vows on a truly grand stage, framed by luxurious velvet curtains. Once the knot has been tied, the Hall transforms: tables are set for dining throughout the space (even on the balconies!), with your DJ or band perched on the stage so you can dance the night away on the seating level. You can even enhance the space with lounge furniture and uplights on the columns.
- Best of all, you'll have the assistance of the dedicated on-site team, who genuinely care about ensuring each couple's experience is exceptional. For a special touch, they'll put your wedding date, names, or a special message on the glittering marquee, linking you to the building's legacy and rich, colorful past (plus, who doesn't want to see their name in lights?).
