After looking at so many other (very pricey) venues, we were pleasantly surprised at the price for this gorgeous venue. Such a great value! Our day-of-coordinator Heather was just wonderful!

Once we parked, it was easier to navigate towards the building based on the street signs. Side note: parking was $2.25 an hour - something to take into consideration. Upon entering the location, it was very well kept and clean. We had no problem navigating our way around and the staff we encountered were amazing. This looks to be a great place to host large events and if you are in need of a hotel room, being connected to the hotel is a great advantage.

I believe it's connected to a Marriott hotel as well. No complaints from me :)

They were so helpful with scheduling virtual tours and several meetings to talk through our wedding vision and goals. It was daunting to pick a wedding venue for our destination wedding but they made the decision for our venue easier! We were a little shocked by the list of required vendors (and their minimums) that came with the signed venue contract, but it worked out in the end. We were able to stick to our budget and meet all of the vendor requirements (4 required vendors: florist, caterer, rentals, & coordinator). Our wedding day was perfect- the venue was beautiful and our day-of venue coordinator, Lindsey, provided by the MW made sure everything was set up the way we requested. I highly recommend this wedding venue if you are looking for a beautiful, accessible Southern venue. The staff are engaging, knowledgeable, and offer support throughout the planning process.

There was a bar and appetizer lounge on one floor, the kitchen on another, and the restaurant at the top. The concept great, until you had to go down several flights of stairs to get back to the restrooms. The restaurant was cold and drafty. We were freezing the entire time. The food was served family style (because of the conference I think). The meat was too salty. The rest of the food was unspectacular and lacking a pizzazz. We had a lemon tart for dessert, the shell was so hard all you could do was scoop out the tart lemon custard. Needless to say, my co-worker and I booked it out of there as fast as we could.

If your type is big, strong and handsome [BUILDINGS!], Full Frame Theater's Boiler Room has YOUR name all over it (him? her?). This incredible space welcomes guests entering Full Frame Theater, as well as sometimes its neighbor, The Power Plant Gallery. It's a VERY unique event venue flanked by mammoth coal-fired boilers that were used in the original building. You can admire the elevator shaft to the right of the front door, or envision the unseen inside (but very visible outside) base of the Lucky Strike smokestack which The Boiler Room "horeshoes" around. Enormous windows, concrete floors and brick walls give this space the perfect impression for any event [can I plan my next birthday party here?!] No space has ever scream contemporary meets historic so clearly! Plus, doors are open 9am-midnight, SEVEN days a week, so there truly is no reason to miss this drool-worthy space. Secret tip: it's air-conditioned and they've got tall-topped tables and chairs inside along the massive windows. This would be the perfect get-away from the office or {indoor} picnic lunch spot.
