Boxcar Bar Arcade provided a beautiful and unique space for our wedding, but the communication leading up to the event was a real challenge. The lack of an on-site event coordinator led to some miscommunication and confusion during the planning process, especially around the bar and bartending services. However, the on-site staff were quick to resolve any issues that came up and ensure our guests had a fun and memorable time in the vibrant, arcade-themed atmosphere. Overall, Boxcar Bar Arcade offered great value for the space, but couples should be prepared to take a more hands-on approach to planning and coordinating with the venue. Highly recommended bringing day of coordinator service at this venue
