Smooth like our dance moves

From start to finished this was a great experience. We had to change venues2 weeks prior to our wedding . The Baker Building was available, we were able to tour it quickly, and able to secure it. Communication with Jennifer and Mark was clear and professional. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Our wedding turned out better than we even imagined.

Beautiful venue, easy to work with

Very happy with this venue choice. Couldn't have picked a more gorgeous place to get married. The vendors were super helpful and quick to respond to my many, many questions throughout the months leading up to the big day. They were also pretty hands off as far as day of, which really allowed us to make the place our own. Venue had all the essentials, tables, chairs, ac(super important in a big white dress), PA system, kitchen area with plenty of space, two rooms to get ready and two adorable little bathrooms. You'd be surprised how many venues I checked out that either didn't have these things or nickel and dime you for it all. Plus there was free parking at the pcc campus just one block up and a beautiful garden a few blocks up for pictures! I would highly recommend the baker building!

Flexible and Easy to Communicate With

We picked Baker Building because of the ability to personalize our wedding in the space since having specific food and drink vendors was important to us. Because they have an open vendor policy we were able to have a wedding that felt unique.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
