Go Tour This Venue
Many venues we researched already had a lot of character on their own and it was hard to find one that accurately reflected our vibes. At first I was hesitant because most of the gallery is light and airy and I wasn't sure it would be the type of moody we wanted to achieve, but the space is a beautiful blank canvas. When we went for a tour I knew it was the right choice. You don't need dramatic decorations, just simple things and lighting. Several weddings I've attended were at places where multiple events were going on at once and it felt crowded and confusing. Here you get the whole building to yourself and it felt very exclusive and intimate. Our wedding was a winter night by candle light and they reflected beautifully in the large windows and created a sanctuary of warm light on the cold night. It made me feel like royalty and it wouldn't have been the same anywhere else. My guests described the night as magical. The venue team was so understanding and accommodating. They went above and beyond to make sure it was everything we wanted. They were easy to reach and quick to respond. I hope I have the opportunity to use this space again.
