Amazing venue and very accommodating staff! We had a blast having our wedding there last September. We had a more complex setup and full-day of events on a Saturday, and 21c was so helpful (especially Veronica.) I can't think of a question or issue that went unanswered, and everyone there was just genuinely excited and friendly towards us and our guests the entire weekend. My family can be a lot to handle, and the staff up until the wedding and after treated us all with the utmost professionalism and respect. It was fantastic. I highly recommend this venue if you value good food, drink, and service. These items were high on our list, and we were very happy with the end result.

We booked both the gallery and rooftop for the weekend - we had too many guests for the rooftop's capacity (90) and ended up using the rooftop for pictures and getting ready ahead of the ceremony. Honestly, it is beautiful up there but very small. If you have more than 50-75 guests, I don't think I would recommend it if you are doing some sort of altar etc.

We had an Indian wedding here, and was so impressed at how accommodating the staff was. We use fire, rice, and many other items during our traditional ceremony, and 21c was really flexible. I would definitely recommend them for any sort of non-Christian ceremony and reception.

Nice sized venue with gorgeous views overlooking the river. The combination of restaurant, hotel, and venue served my wedding well as I didn't have to seek out other vendors for my wedding. There are excellent food and drink options to choose from for varying prices. I found the staff to be extremely helpful and kind throughout the entire process of planning my wedding. Would recommend this vendor to everyone. Only downside is that they can be a little pricey
