Ideal Wedding Venue
Walking into the Chrysler I knew it would be the perfect setting for the vision I was looking to have for my wedding. It was the perfect backdrop for both the ceremony and reception. So many beautiful locations for pictures. It was very unique to have the gallery open during cocktail hour for my guest and they all loved it! I would highly recommend this venue. The staff was very professional and accommodating to my vision!
