had our wedding here.. the unique character of the space is unparalleled at any other wedding venue we visited.. built in 1849 an being over 166 years old lends itself to a historic/ gothic/ romantic/ eclectic/ vintage/ artsy/ shabby chic vibe.. love that's it's located in the les and like a hidden surprise.. very unassuming from the outside and their great lighting system is critical in bringing the grand space to life..

not suitable for all types of brides but perfect if you are not partial to wedding factory venues like banquet halls, super modern stark spaces or big princess-y ballrooms.. none of those suited our style nor was i a rustic or beach-y bride so i was so very thankful my dream venue full of such character such as this exists..

highly recommend.. photos from any event here will be stunning

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!! This venue is worth every penny and waitlist. It is like an adult Disney World. The venue is breathtaking, they bend over backwards to help you, and the LIGHTS!!! WOW!!! This is a historic place so take into account that there are no elevators and the stairs are a little steep. Additionally, book only vendors who have worked here before! This is super important. This isn't a place that one just runs into and sets up easily. Waiters have to bring all dishes up by hand on the steep stairs. But it's worth it. It's worth it oh so much!

All I must say is "WOW!" My wedding was breathtaking-My guests were stunned and could not believe their eyes when they walked in. Everything felt unreal. The pictures will last me a lifetime and I am so grateful to have found such an incredible space. ROBERTO was fantastic with the lighting-he was professional, organized and a pleasure to work with.
