    I was there for a wedding and ceremony.  Cool location with the exposed brick - very unique location.  The only bad thing was where the dance floor was it was hard to hear the speeches and see people dancing because of the layout of the long room.

    i agree with PP... really awesome space and i like that it is downtown and people can walk to their hotel. only downside is the layout is really long and narrow. not good for wedding parties over 200 I'd say. plus also not good if you want everyone to see the dance floor/you at all times.

    Gorgeous, pricey, smaller than other "halls" I have been to. By far the most eligant. Like PP not tons of room but truly beautiful. Great food too! When the bride walked down the stairs i think we were all in tears. What an entrance I must say :)   Good luck

    I had my wedding there.  Brian and Hap Anrahams are wondeful to work with.  All of our pictures were wondeful, so unique and different due to the venue. Everyone raved about the food as well.  It was wonderful.  The serving staff was great as well.   I didn't think it was pricey in comparison to other venues we looked at as well. Let me know if you have more questions.

    I had my reception there in May and it was absolutely perfect. We had tons of OOT guests so it was really convenient for them to just walk to their hotel afterward. Also, lots and lots of people hung out on the deck, and we got some really cool photos there, too.We worked with Chad and he was great -- very responsive and friendly and easy to work with. It was awesome that they took care of nearly everything, and we didn't have to mess around with cleaning up the night of the wedding. (We were also able to get in the day before the wedding to decorate: fantastic!)  Can't say enough good things about them!

    Have you noticed how stained the carpets are there?  I was there yesterday, our wedding is 10/9/10 and my mom noticed that and that the facility was overall a little dirty.  I love the place and the downtown setting but wish it was a little better taken care of
