Review from Molly L.

Had my wedding here in February and just loved this venue. We had amazing pictures both inside and outside, and the acoustics were wonderful. It was cozy with our number of 150, but we really enjoyed having the various areas to hold different activities - hors d'oevres and cocktails outside in the courtyard (except it rained, but there was a backup plan!), the foyer for a rock band station during cocktail hour, and the balcony/upstairs room for scrapbooking.
The best part, however, was the service. Amy was such an attentive manager. She was so accommodating to all my requests, meeting with us whenever we could get into town since I planned it from LA, and setting me up with contacts for various other vendors. On the day of, she even personally blew up balloons to sign post our location outside! She is a real professional and takes very good care of her brides. The servers were also wonderful. Very attentive throughout and efficient. And the food was great too.
Overall we were really happy to have found this place. -

I didn't know this place was classified under "nightlife"! Definitely has quite a history from its beginnings as a church. =)
Came here to assist a wedding shoot and I couldn't ask for a better staff. They were extremely accommodating, proactively so, in making sure we knew where the light controls were and would ask if we needed more lighting and where.
The most amazing thing was watching the ceremony tear down and reception setup, which occurred in about 1.5hrs. A-MAZIN. It's nice to have everytime in one place - your guests won't get lost.
Plenty of free parking, easy to access. There's a quaint little courtyard for pictures on non-rainy days. Large space with high ceilings, stained glass windows, has its own bar and just a lot of side rooms for guests to linger and hang out at. The food, I heard, was really good - I didn't really have time to try.
All in all, a very nice place to get married - if you're looking for the slightly "cathedral" like place without all the ornate trappings (and pricing) of one.
The only thing I didn't like as much was the lighting - which even at the max setting was still a bit dim - with a light yellowish tint. Bring external flash and maybe filters. Because the area is so big and the ceiling so high, it's was slightly tricky to bounce light.Listed in: The Great Wedding Venue…

I went there for lunch and the food was excellent. The portions are just right but you must save room for dessert because they bring out a cart with different desserts. The dessert was perfect and rich. Very tasty!
My chicken sandwich was moist and the sliced apples were an unique addition.
The service was excellent. And the price of the food on the lunch menu was around 9 to 20 dollars. I highly recommend this place.
