Unforgettable Wedding Like No Other!

I don’t know where to begin, but the main thing is: The Haight made my wedding magical and truly like a real fairytale! There truly is nowhere else that will give the same experience or the same level of service from Kari Haight or her assembled team of fairy god mothers. I’m tearing up thinking about it.

From the start, Kari decorated the entrance lobby with photos of us and our families, and it was just such a thoughtful and special touch. The outdoor aisle and rooftop deck is unreal, and if you’re getting married in fair weather it’s SO pretty with the lights. The reception area- WOW. The vintage lights and hanging greens were gorgeous. They set up everything so perfectly that I felt like I was on a movie set. The dance zone is also a great spot by the bar and they keep the rooftop open so you can take breather and fresh air after dancing. I’m telling you, this place has everything you’d want for your wedding day!

Finally-Kari has a great team, she and her staff and vendors not only give top of the line service and coordination, but they were so kind and took attention to every detail. So I’d definitely suggest going with her preferred vendors, they know what they’re doing and then some. Also-I had a veil emergency and Kari raced to the rescue by providing me with one the day of! There’s just nowhere or no one else that’ll go above and beyond the same way.

Stress-Free & Beautiful

If you want an stress-free wedding look no further! From day one, Lauren, Nicole and The Haight staff were amazing. The venue is rustic, chic, clean, and beautiful! We have received so many compliments on the venue from our guests. We had an amazing wedding thanks to the staff at The Haight. On our wedding day, there was never a moment where our coordinator, Lauren, wasn’t moving around, helping out, or asking what I needed. If anything went wrong, I had no idea about because Lauren had already taken care of it. I am so happy we chose The Haight as our venue.

Beautiful & Unique Venue

Love the look of this venue, its unique and industrial. We had our wedding here in May of 2023 and it was stunning. Our guests loved the unique look and it was able to accommodate our large families with ease. The outdoor space was beautiful and made for great photographs! The bridal sweet is also HUGE and is the perfect space for getting ready the morning of the wedding!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
