    I'm having mine there in May. I've been happy with how it's all coming together and the coordinator there, Libby, is really easy to work with. We both really like the space and all the pieces that are included in the price was a good deal in our opinion. I can give you my take after the actual wedding. And let me know if you have other questions, I'm happy to answer them.

    <div>We are thinking of doing the ceremony on the roof too.  I can't remember which room is which but we're thinking the smaller room and terrace for cocktails and the larger room for dinner/dance.  We are going to dinner tonight to try the food....if all goes well I think this is our venue too!</div><div>

    Caitydid....how was your wedding at Solera? We've tentatively booked both rooms for June 2014, so I am really curious to hear how things went! Seems like the red/orange/yellow scheme is a must, and helps with decision-making too. :)

    Jules226...Our wedding was wonderful! We loved the rooftop for the ceremony. Much more intimate than I had originally envisioned, but I loved that. Some of the pictures our family and friends took looked great with the skyline in the background. The second floor was great for our reception and the outdoor terrace was a nice way for guests to escape the music and get some fresh air. And I can't say enough about how easy Libby was to work with and how helpful she was the day of. We had 85 guests and both spaces were perfect for that.

    We were quoted $4K for food and beverage minimum with an extra $1000 for the rooftop ceremony. I don't remember what their room rental fee was, but we found this pricing to be much more reasonable than a lot of other places. Plus, we were pretty much sold on Solera for at least the reception before we even started speaking with their coordinator. We booked in Feb 2012, so their pricing may have changed.

    We just made our reservation earlier this month, so I imagine the rates I have are pretty up-to-date. The smaller room (Barcelona) is $300 to rent + $4k food/bev min before tax/tip. The larger room (Catalonia, one floor up) is $500 to rent +$6.5k food/bev min. We are renting both so we just add all the figures together. I think the food/bev min to rent the rooftop for the whole night was $8k -- just $1k for ceremony only, but ceremony setup anywhere else in the space was included. It really seems like a lot is included here! I am pretty excited.

    Thanks for following up, and congratulations :) We don't have the rooftop rented out, but I will be sure to get up there for photos beforehand at least!
