Mike and the entire team were so beyond fantastic to work with. So incredibly kind, helpful, and transparent. I can’t recommend enough. Such a beautiful place and with an incredibl...
y team, everything runs so smoothly.
This is by far one of the best wedding venues we have been to (and we aren’t just saying that because we got married there! 😉). First, the pricing is very reasonable. Mike (the ow...
ner) was the main contact through the entire process and was super quick to answer any questions I had (and at any time of the day!). He let us visit the venue multiple times beforehand so we could get a good idea for our decorating vision (and let family members see it!). We followed the venue’s suggestions on DJ and caterer and were not disappointed (even though you absolutely could choose your own from anywhere). In fact, using companies that had worked with the Auditorium Ballroom before made the whole day-of smooth… I didn’t even have to check in on them setting up! Mike and his staff were extremely accommodating during the entire day. We had the venue from 7am to 11pm (which is hard to find in some venues) which made the set up before the wedding 100% easier and less stressful! We were able to leave all our decor there overnight so we didn’t have to worry about cleanup! The bartenders and service staff were excellent at their jobs. And the venue itself…. GORGEOUS! The beautiful downstairs bar and subway tiles, the marble stairway leading to aged wood floors and vaulted ceilings surrounded by the building’s timeless original exposed brick… SO breathtaking! Almost every single one of our guest was enamored with the beauty of the venue. It is truly a diamond in the rough! Thank you Mike and your staff for setting the backdrop to our absolutely PERFECT day! 🤩
Mike and his staff were so wonderful to work with! He really puts an emphasis on making your wedding day about you and your spouse! He was so helpful with making some decisions and...
really worked with us on making it our own day.
This refurbished venue is gorgeous. It was a ballroom in the 1920s I believe and they’ve brought it back to life. The grand marble staircase is original and breathtaking. Everythin...
g has been done with a touch of class and elegance. Mike and the team were easy to work with a very accommodating. Really though, he took the time to hang these firework looking lights I bought one by one. Also because no one booked the upstairs in the week prior to our date, we were able to get in and start decorating as early as Tuesday which greatly helped since we were doing everything ourselves. They had plenty of staff upstairs and downstairs at the bars to keep up with demand. Of all the venues we toured, we are beyond happy with this one.
If you're looking for a unique and beautiful venue, look no further! I fell in love with this venue and the history behind it. Mike the owner is awesome. He was able to restore thi...
s beautiful building and open it up for weddings & events. He is super laid back, great with communication and very helpful. He has helped so much and I cannot wait for the wedding!
