Timeless Venue
We had the pleasure of working with Sarah from the Old Metropolitan Hall when planning our wedding. She did a wonderful job with coordinating with our vendors and ensuring that our day was truly memorable. She responded to our inquiries in a timely manner and was professional throughout the entire process. Sarah is easy to work with and has a great eye for design.
The Old Metropolitan Hall packs a ton of character with high ceilings, beautifully exposed brick walls, and gives off a minimalist vibe! We had 48 guests attend our wedding, which fit perfectly in the space. There was enough space for our guests to dance on the downstairs dancefloor and did not feel too empty, however the space could accommodate amble number of guests. We would recommend the Old Met to any couple who is planning to have a more intimate wedding in a downtown setting.
