Facilities and Capacity
LUCE on Kettner features a modern and chic interior that provides a blank template for couples to get creative with their wedding vision.

The open floor plan also allows soon-to-be-weds to decide on the table arrangements that suit their wedding best. Celebrations with up to 300 people can be held here, though the space is ideal for gatherings with between 100 and 350 loved ones. Dressing rooms are also available.

Disclaimer: We ended up not choosing Luce Loft (a little too small) or Luce on Kettner (a little too big) BUT we highly recommend reaching out to both spaces for a tour as our experience during viewing was very welcoming and great. They really helped us envision how our wedding would look and what they could help you on.
Luce Loft would be great for an intimate wedding, and Luce on Kettner great for a big bash. Luce on Kettner is also brand new so facilities reflect that in terms of the dressing rooms, catering rooms, bathrooms, etc. Highly recommend!
