They were so helpful from day of, to planning, to the DJ, and all my questions in between. I would highly suggest using this venue. We got SO many compliments from our guests. They also were so excited to have my dog involved with our wedding and that was very important to me.

I recently hosted my shower at Modern Elegance Studios, and it was absolutely perfect! We had 65 guests, and the space accommodated everyone comfortably. I loved the dual setup—the cozy seating areas for mingling and the upper area for food and tables, which made the flow of the event seamless. We opted for upgraded décor through a rental company, and I’m so glad we did—it truly brought my vision to life and made it the shower of my dreams! The venue itself is modern, airy, and beautifully neutral, making it easy to customize and create the exact atmosphere I wanted. The entire experience was flawless, and I’ll definitely be renting this space again for future events!
