This was by far one of the most inclusive and budget friendly wedding options we toured…read more This venue was a strong contender for us largely because Oscar did an excellent job highlighting all of its advantages. He was incredibly responsive throughout the process and remained highly engaged in discussing our plans. =PROS= *Extensive decor included. The package came with beautiful florals and centerpieces, and we were able to view a sample table set up that felt simple yet elegant *Food was included and notably served plated, which is typically an expensive upgrade at many other venues *Clean bathrooms with multiple stalls, which was surprisingly uncommon after touring so many venues *DJ and wedding planner services were already included *Photobooth upgrade was offered at a very reasonable price =CONS= *Very limited parking. We were grateful valet service was included for our larger guest count, but I would strongly recommend this upgrade if not already part of the package *No groom suite. There was a small bridal suite available, though it would feel cramped for anyone beyond just the bride *Limited greenery surrounding the ceremony area. Aside from some shrubbery, there was very little natural scenery and noticeable street noise nearby The pricing was extremely competitive and this likely would have been our choice had I not personally prioritized a venue with more natural surroundings. From both a financial and planning standpoint, this option removed a lot of the usual wedding stress because of how many services were already bundled together. On top of that, Oscar and his team stood out for being exceptionally organized and efficient during both the tour and quoting process.

I was not disappointed in their service as they were attentive and met all of my requests. They also made a few accommodations for my guests with allergies and for those who were vegan. As for the venue, it was absolutely beautiful, inside and out! Don't waste your money choosing a venue that is a blank slate. If you do, you'll be spending more than $60K. If you want something affordable, all-inclusive(food, flowers, DJ, photobooth, centerpieces) and luxurious, this is the venue! Thank you Carlo, Oscar, and Michelle!

No AC, shoulder-to-shoulder with everyone, and moving around felt like being in a battle royal before the matches even started. Parking...Well, it's North Park, so you already know that's part of the adventure. Expect to do a few laps and maybe say a quick prayer. That said, we made it happen and had a great time. The crowd brought the energy, the wrestling was entertaining, and honestly, the packed-out atmosphere made it feel like a big event. Just come prepared to sweat a little and earn your parking

Only a week later March 18th, I called Queen Bee as I could no longer attend the whole weekend. Alma instructed me on how to submit for the refund which I did while she was on the phone with me. I waited, no refund. I called, emailed, called and emailed some more with screen shots of the EventBright refund request confirmation. **Still nothing. After a few more weeks, I called my bank for a formal dispute. I provide my bank the screenshots of emails to Queen Bee and EventBright confirmations. The bank initially refunded me. Yesteday, June 10th, I get a letter from my bank that notes they reversed the refund because Queen Bee said there is no reason for a refund (almost $300!) Queen Bee refuses to acknowledge the situation, still no phone answer and no reply to email. I did not attend and now I am out $300 because of their poor business practice. SHAME!!!! BOOOO!!!!

Some brief instructions and guidance was provided and then we were off on our painting adventure The session runs about an hour and a half .

This place also can be an event space, so something for me to note for a possible special occasion! Recs: Smoked Sausage & Mussels - This was topped with super yummy shoestring truffle fries with a savory broth. I know there were fries but many bread would be good to absorb the sauce. ‍Mushroom Mix Flatbread with Prosciutto - I loved the mix of fresh ingredients with the caramelized onions & mushrooms. It was still good as leftovers the next day. Titans Revenge & Day Spa - Both of these cocktails were so refreshing. I loved the meld of flavors which made these drinks the perfect beverage to sip on a summer day! Customer service was great and I liked that there weren't too many ppl when we came. Parking was plentiful.

She answered every single one of my million questions, allowed me to your the space beforehand, worked with me when I needed to extend the time, and was available for questions the day of as well.

I love that the space blended itself to be set up exactly as we needed it and then after we were done, went right back to its default state. I definitely don't want to plan any more events soon as I am beyond worn out BUT I would love to host an event here again soon. Not many options for street parking but there is a very cost-efficient lot less than a block away.

Kasia was super quick about answering my questions and writing up a contract for the desired time and date. Jaz who i met when i toured the place was SO nice and helpful in showing me what i would need to do to check in and check out (super easy as well, similar to checking in and out of an airbnb). It's a really nice venue specifically for themed parties (mine was steampunk) bc it really is a blank slate that you can decorate to your taste. My guests were very impressed with the decor and venue. It's nothing super fancy, but it suited my needs exactly and my event was a success! One note that i would do differently and advise others about is bringing additional signage since it is kinda tucked away and also seeing if there will be other events on your chosen date that would impact loading, etc.

I attended a wedding at Luce Loft and love the downtown, industrial vibes here. The venue itself is…read moremade for smaller weddings (ideally less than 100 people). The loft gets flipped so it doubles as a ceremony and reception space with cocktail hour taking place outside or in the long side area. What's great about this place is that you could hire a food truck to provide cocktail bites on the sidewalk. Inside the loft, the space still felt spacious for a reception. There is an upstairs deck area where the couple had a photo booth set up. Personally, I love a city-vibe wedding. I love when a couple can get street shots and any after party can happen in the downtown. I know that vibe isn't for everyone, but if that is yours, you should definitely check this venue out.
