We loved having our wedding at The Builders BLDG! When choosing venues, I really wanted a wow factor and to highlight an amazing space in the city. The staircase created an epic grand entrance and the space is just beautiful. I really liked how the 2nd floor allowed for our guests to get away from the dancing and be able to view the party from above. Builders was very accommodating throughout the planning process and made it so easy to postpone when COVID altered our original plan. We feel so grateful that we were able to have our wedding in this beautiful venue.
The Builders BLDG is such a unique venue, which is something I was looking for when we started wedding planning. We had a speakeasy/Gatsby style wedding and the architecture fit the theme perfectly. We received so many compliments about the set-up, the building, dinner, just everything.
Michelle and her team were incredibly professional and everything went together without a hitch. All I had to do was show up and enjoy the day (which is truly a remarkable accomplishment and what all brides strive to do on their wedding day). The venue has tables, chairs, linens, literally everything so it was as easy as choosing between colors and not having to worry about using a 3rd party to set up the space.
We also have numerous food allergies in my family and they were able to accommodate every single one of them, which was a very big concern for me as I was looking for a vendor.
I couldn't be happier with choosing the Builders BLDG. It was truly a magical event and I highly recommend them!
The Builders BLDG was the perfect venue for our wedding. It was sophisticated, sleek, elegant, chic, modern...all in one! The high ceilings really set it off! In addition to the venue being absolutely beautiful, the staff could not have been more helpful and considerate! Chelsey (the coordinator) was so on top of everything, and the waitstaff were frequently checking in with me (the Bride) and my husband to ensure we had everything we needed at that moment. They were so nice and accommodating!! Oh! and the food! The food was AMAZING! We have received so many compliments since our wedding about the food served. Best food we've had at a wedding (not even being biased)! The cocktail hors d'oeuvres were scrumptious and the dinner food was delicious! We are so incredibly thankful for The Builders BLDG helping make our day PERFECT!!!
Honestly, we couldn't have picked a better venue for our wedding. The vibe of the space was exactly what we wanted, and the team's execution of everything was above anything I've seen. The flip of the room from ceremony to dinner was seamless and turned out flawless, the food was amazing, and all of our guests had an incredible experience from start to finish!
Rebecca was an absolute GEM and incredibly helpful and easy to work with. She made the planning of our wedding so easy and, most importantly, stress free.
I couldn't recommend Builders BLDG enough for your big day. We had the time of our lives, and it was because of the team there!
We couldn't have asked for a better place to host or wedding reception! Builders BLDG is absolutely gorgeous - from it being all marble, to the grand staircase, to the massive vaulted ceiling, it is breathtaking. The Builders BLDG team, and especially our event coordinator Rebecca were top notch. Rebecca was very flexible, very accommodating, and helpful with maximizing what we could get within our budget in their space. We left most of the wedding layout to their discretion and we couldn't have been happier with how the space turned out. We had a blast and we got so many compliments on the wedding, and most important of all - we loved it! The food was AMAZING (Prime and Provision menu anyone?!), everything ran very smooth, and the space was BEAUTIFUL, overall everything was better than we could’ve ever imagined!
Our wedding in June 2018 at The Builders BLDG was nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment we toured, we knew they were the perfect place for our wedding. The space is gorgeous, and our amazing coordinator Rebecca was so helpful throughout the whole process -- often going above and beyond. The food was delicious, and it was easy to customize a menu that works for you. All of our guests are still raving about how beautiful the space was. I can't recommend having your wedding at The Builders BLDG enough!
