Ryan and I can’t compliment this place enough. It was the first venue we walked into, we immediately knew this was where we would get married. It gives a historical modern feel; the old chandeliers and bank vaults were a dream!!! The bridal suite is located above to the right so you’re tucked away with your team and can even peak out the window at your guests.
Gerilyn was with me from start to finish and I cannot compliment her enough. She ALWAYS made me feel acknowledge and important. Everything flowed well because of her, she knew exactly what our vision was of that day and stuck by it. We love her!!!!
It truly was the most magical day
The venue is to die for!! The space itself is large and elegant with a vintage touch. I would highly recommend.
