So Charming!

We loved having our wedding at the Pritzlaff! With its stunning architecture, cream city brick, and unique features, it had our guests raving about how cool the space was. The outdoor courtyard was the perfect backdrop four our ceremony and cocktail hour, and the location could not have been better. We were so thrilled with how we could make the space our own.

Shout out to Ali, Jessica, and Kristi, who made the wedding planning process so easy and was able to help us with any questions we had, and also Kyle, who ensured everything ran smoothly on the day!!! They were so amazing to work with!

Couldn't be happier

We couldn’t have asked for our night to go more smoothly, and much of it was thanks to the friendly and extremely helpful staff at the Pritzlaff Building. We worked mostly with Ali and Kristi, and Jessica helped us with our floor plan. They made everything so comfortable for us both in planning/leading up to our wedding and on wedding day. They accommodated everything we asked for and always had solutions to any problems we were running into. They provided their expertise when asked, but let us make the decisions for ourselves. The staff on wedding night were professional and timely and we couldn't have been any happier!

We couldn’t have asked for a better venue and team for our wedding day!

My husband and I are beyond grateful for the Pritzlaff team! We couldn’t have asked for a better venue and team for our wedding day! My husband and I had issues with our original venue which left us without a venue a month before our wedding. We reached out to the Pritzlaff to see if they had a space available on our date and Jessica, Ali and Kristi were quick to respond to let us know that they did. We did a walkthrough with Jessica and Ali, and they sat down with us afterwards to finalize the timeline, bar packages, linens, etc. We were so relieved after meeting with them and knew that we were in great hands. Jessica and Ali kept in constant contact with us leading up to our wedding and kept my mind at ease. On the day of our wedding, I knew that I could depend on the Pritzlaff team to assist with anything that came up with vendors, setup, timing, and more, which made for a very calm morning for me.

On top of having a great team, the Pritzlaff is a beautiful building with beautiful event spaces. My husband and I are so in love with the building, courtyard and the 325 room. We had our ceremony in the courtyard and the seats faced the cream city brick which was a beautiful backdrop and one of our favorite parts of the space. The 325 room was very spacious and had beautiful wooden pillars. We also decided to do a 30-minute photo session on the rooftop which was a great decision! Some of our favorite pictures were taken on the rooftop. Overall, we had an amazing day and all of our guest loved the venue!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
