Super helpful coordinators. We had the ceremony and reception here and it was perfect for a small to medium wedding. They have center pieces to rent and they set up all the tables and linens so you have virtually no set up to do at the venue. You can’t hang stuff on the walls but the space so so beautiful and decorated already so you don’t really need much. The food was delicious also.

I'm a wedding photographer, and I recently held a styled shoot at VOWS. From beginning to end, the team at VOWS was a dream to work with. Not only are the people lovely, but this space is simply gorgeous. The room itself is very versatile and could be set up in a million different ways, but also needs NO extra decoration for those who love a clean and modern look (like me). It's a bright, minimalist space just a few steps from some of the best restaurants, shopping, and activities in the metro and tons of parking available. The front windows let lots of natural light into the space, while the pendant lighting in the venue allows for a warm and moody feel. The moveable wall (which includes a plain white side, and a greenery side, depending on your preference) can be adjusted to divide the room or act as a backdrop that fits any size wedding day. The couples lounge is AMAZING as well, with the cutest mural of historical wedding photos that is such a fun getting ready backdrop. Can't say ENOUGH good things about VOWS, but highly recommend you check it out in person. I can't wait to shoot a wedding for future clients here!
