My fiancé (now husband!) and I held our November wedding at the SoWa Power Station and it was truly perfect. We hired AE Events as our wedding planners, and with their help and that of the wonderful SoWa Events Director, Carolyn Longden, booked the main space for our ceremony/cocktail hour/reception and the upstairs mezzanine for our after party. All of the other services booked via the SoWa for the night - bar, bathroom attendants, and security - were all top notch. The planning process with the SoWa could not have been easier and site visits were fun and inspiring. Our vendors were really able to transform the space while still complementing the building’s stunning architecture and our guests are still talking weeks on about what a magical evening it was. We wish we could visit the Power Station every day and plan to return for years to come to enjoy SoWa Power Station events and relive a bit of our perfect day. You will not regret booking your wedding or next big event with this awe-inspiring and well organized venue!
