Wow factor!
Being in the Rookery is a special experience - seeing the grandeur of the architecture, glass ceiling, staircase, and gold & marble detail will wow your guests! We absolutely loved our wedding in the Rookery - it was exactly what we were looking for - something elegant and beautiful, but unique. Our wedding was in the winter, so the darkness level was perfect. We had 118 people and thought that was a great size for the venue. Anything over 150 may start to get a bit cramped. Keep in mind if you want to do draping over the storefronts, it can be quite expensive as there's only one vendor that does that - make sure you price that out when evaluating venue cost! Also - having Jewell catering as the caterer for the venue was excellent, it made for a seamless experience.

It's been very easy to work with Jewell Catering at the Rookery building so far. The Rookery is absolutely beautiful although renting the venue is a little pricey. Well worth the price!
