The Luminare

What's the vibe: The Luminare is a large Wedding + Event Venue that offers gorgeous natural light throughout from its many windows and skylights, and at night, glows from the overhead cafe lights, and colorful accent up lighting. The exposed gray beams, polished concrete floor, 26’ tall ceilings, white walls and a totally open floor plan offer a minimalist, industrial modern warehouse vibe that is the perfect blank canvas and fully customizable to any event. There is an open catering policy and any licensed caterer or Food Truck can serve at your event, so you get just the culinary experience you are looking for, be it formal or fun. Also, you can also bring in your own alcohol (it is just served from our preferred bartending company), but will save a bunch of money and give you full control of the items provided to your guests.
