Highly recommend

Absolutely everything about 5eleven was a great experience for our wedding. The entire space is beautiful inside and out and I love that you can personalize the layout in any way you like (plus having tables and chairs included was great). I loved the bridal loft and the added perk of being able to order breakfast and lunch for delivery and setup so we didn't have to scramble for food while we got ready. Cailin was so helpful and easy to work with. We really appreciated how quickly she responded to our (many!) questions and was proactive in offering solutions for us. We used the in-house bar service which was so easy to set up and reasonably priced. And the location really can't be beat - it's right in downtown but away from all of the bars so we felt we had plenty of privacy even though we were outdoors. Thank you 5eleven for everything!

I love working at 5eleven. This gorgeous venue has an amazing staff and gorgeous atmosphere. Plus, the added bonus of a courtyard space and an indoor space, whether is never an issue!
