BridgeStreet Gallery & Loft was the perfect venue for our wedding celebration. Their communication style was great and they were normally quick to respond to any questions we had. The quality of their work and the value they provided was outstanding - the space was so beautiful and spacious, providing the perfect backdrop for our special day. They even went above and beyond by giving us some extra sparklers to use and were continuously checking in to make sure everything was okay and if we needed anything. The BridgeStreet team was just so sweet and attentive the day of, and they were very accommodating - I can't thank them enough for helping to make our wedding day so perfect.
