    Incredible

    I would recommend The Garter Toss for any event, but we had our 80-ish guest wedding there and it was perfect. Eva was super helpful in planning and executing our big day—we visited the venue a few times beforehand with members of our wedding party and parents and Eva helped us plan all the small details. She even got my husband Tagamet during the reception! The venue is perfect for that elopement/intimate ceremony feeling, without having to travel somewhere else. All of my guests have told me how fun the wedding was and how the space was so perfect for my husband and I. 10000/10 recommend again and again!!!

    Thank you so much Madi! It was so fun getting to know you and Dylan and the fam. I will stop in at Sweeney's or Shamrock's soon for a cocktail!


Yes! This is one of their biggest "money savers." You can purchase your own booze and bring it in.
No. There are no catering minimums or preferred vendor lists. You can serve anything from high-end platters to "hot dogs and champagne."
No. All food brought in must be pre-prepared. You will have access to a fridge, freezer, and sink, but there is no on-site cooking equipment.
You can, but the venue has an in-house officiant (Ash Oliver) included in many packages.
Yes. They offer a specific 1-hour "Shotgun" package for up to 25 people that includes an officiant, cake, champagne, and Polaroids.
