Incredible wedding day experience!

We had our wedding rehearsal, ceremony, and reception here at B&C in November of 2024. During the planning process, Jama made every step of the way feel stress-free and responded very timely. I felt like she truly cared about making our wedding day special to us uniquely. She answered SO many questions (sorry Jama LOL) and made us feel informed. We had to make some last-minute changes, and she took care of it all! In the beginning stages of wedding planning while we were still shopping around for venues, I didn't have that same level of customer service everywhere else. This was one of the reasons we went with B&C, which I am so glad we did!

During our rehearsal day and our wedding day, we were asked if we needed anything too many times to count. They went above and beyond to ensure our day went seamlessly. Crystal, Abraham, servers, bartenders, and all the event staff were professional and accommodating! During clean up time, the staff were all so helpful to my family too.

The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous which meant it did not need too many decorations. The string lights and white drapery were beautiful for photos. There were several gorgeous spots both indoor and outdoor for photos too! The flow of the space worked perfect with one room for the ceremony, then walk into the cocktail hour room, which flowed later into the reception room.

We chose to have pies, cupcakes, and chocolate truffle favors all made by B&C and they were incredible! Our guests went on and on about how delicious the food was and that they did not leave hungry. I have a food allergy too, and they accommodated that as well.

I would highly recommend B&C to engaged couples or anyone looking for an event venue. Thank you to everyone at Bread & Chocolate who made our wedding day so incredible!!!

Fantastic Experience

The wedding coordinators were so helpful, the space was beautiful, and the food was amazing! We got married on a Sunday so our rehearsal was Thursday. It was nice to have a few extra days in between to get organized! I'd highly recommend this venue!

Best Staff Around!

Planning a wedding is stressful enough, but the staff and everything Bread & Chocolate has to offer made our day run SO smoothly. Everyone we worked with was amazing, especially Kristen & Garrett (who we worked with the most). They anticipated all of our needs, were extremely easy to communicate with and solved any "issues" that popped up in order to execute our perfect day. I would have been lost without all of their help!

I just started my wedding planning and automatically knew I wanted bread and chocolate as my venue. It is an absolutely beautiful building with such friendly staff. They have answered all my questions I have had so far and they are always on top of responding to emails. I can not wait to get married here!

Best Venue Ever!

CHOOSE B&C!! This venue is just beautiful and their catering was the best wedding food I have ever had (They have their own catering). We used the venue for the ceremony and the reception. It was all indoors (Thank goodness, it was 60 and raining on our wedding day in June) and was absolutely gorgeous with the exposed brick, wood beams, and string lighting. The staff at B&C were so professional and helpful. I would recommend this venue over and over again!

We had a wonderful experience with Bread & Chocolate. Jessica was great to work with throughout the planning process. Everyone was so organized and I did not have to worry about anything from them at all. Beautiful venue, delicious food, wonderful staff. Highly recommend!

Phenomenal!!! We casually walked into The Old Bag Factory one afternoon not even thinking of getting married in the area and ended up with the wedding of our dreams a little over a year later. The venue was absolutely perfect, well laid out, attentive staff, and absolutely amazing food.

We weren’t putting much stock in the food since we usually think most wedding food is mediocre but the food turned out amazing. We wish we had more time to enjoy the delicious meal! We have gotten many complements that this was the best wedding food our guests had ever had.

We worked with Jessica to coordinate everything at The Old Bag factory. She is incredible! Very responsive and prompt! She suggests ideas that she knows will work with the space and timing while still helping to incorporate the ideas we had. She helped make everything so seamless. We have gotten countless complements on our wedding being the most fun and seamless wedding our guests have ever been to. This wouldn’t have been possible without the amazing venue and amazing Bread and Chocolate Staff!

I was recently married at Bread & Chocolate and everything was great! I wanted to do something different and they went above and beyond in helping me achieve my wedding. Everyone raved about how amazing the food was and how beautiful the space was. It truly did not need a lot of decorating. The staff was nice and attentive and I really have no complaints. It rained on our wedding day so we were SO lucky that we chose to have our wedding at such a beautiful location on the inside as that's where almost all of our pictures were taken. Thank you Bread & Chocolate for making our dream wedding happen!!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
