NOCCA was fabulous! The rain was nonstop our entire wedding day and they were able to pivot from our original location in the garden to the interior gallery, which truly saved the ...
day! They were very communicative and professional throughout the whole process. As two artists, it was a lovely bonus to get to support NOCCA.

We rented Press Street Station and the Gallery for a low-key, 100 person wedding party. The interior is gorgeous and decorated with fantastic art, so I could keep my decorations to...
a minimum and save a little money. Our contact at the venue, Richard, was really accommodating and easy to work with. He allowed us to set up for several hours on Friday for a Saturday party, let us store our party supplies and decorations until Monday, and he and his staff boxed up our items so we could easily pick everything up. The price was affordable as well compared to comparable venues, and there were no restrictions as far as caterers go. All in all, a fantastic experience.

ajillion questions, and was very flexible. Press Street Station is really a stunning venue - with its long marble bar, natural wood table tops, and wall of glass garage doors that let all that natural light in. It's also a great location with ample parking. PLUS, payment for the venue funds such an amazing and important school in the city!

I had a destination wedding and needed a venue that could accommodate less than 75 people. Press St / Press Gallery at the NOCCA Foundation was perfect! We loved the gallery/ indus...
trial vibe and how spacious it was . Richard the director was amazing to work with and was so accommodating. There is a full kitchen which is very helpful for caterers plus a long bar for bartending and serving. We loved it !

I would highly recommend booking NOCCA for your wedding ceremony and or reception! I am a NOCCA alumni, so this school holds a special place in my heart. My fiance and I only toure...
d NOCCA and booked them immediately. We absolutely fell in love with press street station. The space is SO cool, with rustic brick walls and soft lighting. There is a huge bar and a separate space for bands or musicians. Another really cool aspect of the venue, is the fact that you can have the garage doors open so you can have an inside / outside space. Not to mention, you also have access to the art studio, which is a great spot for a photo booth, the cake, etc.
We ended up having to super downsize our wedding due to COVID and unfortunately, we could not go through with using NOCCA.
If you are looking for a cool spot though, NOCCA is for you. Rachel, their events coordinate was SO helpful and she had so many great recommendations and contacts! She makes the whole process super easy.

My fiance and I were looking for a great outdoor venue and space for a small intimate wedding. As soon as we saw the garden, we knew immediately. It's so beautiful! Also, I'm an a...
lumnus, so I thought it would be amazing to have a wedding at the place that gave me confidence and creative resilience. As soon as we got in touch with Rachel, she was super friendly and helpful. When I told her I wanted a casual, intimate ceremony, she gave me great recommendations for a florist, officiant, wedding planner, etc. I took all of her suggestions and am very happy with the vendors I chose. During our walkthrough, she made sure all of our questions were answered, which put us at ease. I can't wait to get married this Saturday! Our reception will be at the Press Gallery, which is also gorgeous and just right for our intimate party. If you are looking to plan a small, intimate wedding, I highly recommend this venue!

I highly recommend The Press Street Gardens for a wedding, reception or any event. The location is beautiful, unique and surrounded by a neighborhood that has an insane amount of ...
character. Also, the gardens are affordable and more importantly, the cost to rent goes directly to the NOCCA Institute! I also have to mention that working with Rachel from the NOCCA institute was amazing! Rachel was able to answer all my questions, had great recommendations for vendors, and she is just an awesome person in general! I felt like I was working with a friend!
