I am so beyond happy with our wedding at 10 South. From the very beginning, everyone was so kind and welcoming. Staff was just as excited as I was to get married. Communication was spot on and questions we had were always answered in a timely manner. On the big day, everything went SO smoothly. I have to shout out Megan W. She was the BEST! She gave us a stress free and perfect wedding day. I couldn’t have been more happy.

On the big day itself, Lauren handled everything seamlessly behind the scenes - if any issues came up, we were blissfully unaware thanks to her proactive approach. The venue itself is unique, clean, and simply beautiful. From the charming exposed brick to the giant windows flooding the space with natural light, The Haight provided a warm, romantic backdrop for our nuptials.
