    The first and only venue we toured!

    We got married at Toolbox October 2022 and I can't believe how much we lucked out with the perfect wedding venue. We still have compliments coming in on how Toolbox is such a chic and unique space and you feel that the moment you walked in. We kept our wedding decor subtle because the beautiful art and space itself are all you need.

    Aside from the gorgeous aesthetics, the team is the main selling point of Toolbox.

    From the moment we stepped in, Alex was incredibly kind and helpful. He answered all of our questions without hesitation and you can tell he and his wife really put a lot of care and thought into Toolbox, appreciate its history, and have pulled in beautiful pieces like the bar and architect's table to bring it up another level. And Toolbox's day-of coordinator, Oli -- words aren't enough to express how brilliant she is. She's an organized and flexible calming presence. Everything went off without a hitch, and she was the conductor behind it all. The couple weeks before the actual wedding day seem to be the most stressful, but the second we saw Oli for our final walkthrough, that all floated away.

    Tl;dr: book Toolbox, you won't regret it

    Perfect venue & day of coordination for our wedding

    Toolbox was recommended to me by friends who had looked at it for their wedding. It was exactly what we wanted: centrally located, vibrant setting, and a good price. Our wedding was 85 people which was perfect for fitting everyone in the main room for dining, but you could easily have them spread out all over the top level for up to about 125 comfortably. Alex was easy to work with and very accommodating, Oli was a superstar in getting everything ready for the big day. Everything went off without a hitch!

    The space is a little unique, but Alex has some suggested vendors. There is no kitchen on site, so having a caterer who has done the space before helped ease my mind (Main Event was recommended & awesome). I was paranoid that the air conditioning would break for our July wedding, but it stayed cool the whole time. No guests had problems finding the venue that I heard about. Couldn't have hoped for a better venue

    Professional and Patient!

    I recently had the pleasure of working with Alex and Olivera to plan my upcoming wedding. They were recommended to me by a friend and I'm so glad I went with them. They were so professional and patient with my fiance and I. We didn't do much research and had a lot of questions but they really put me at ease and walked us through everything. I feel so confident now and highly recommend them!
