SoHo 63 is A DREAM! My wife and I got married on July 3, 2015 and it was the very best moment of our lives and we owe a lot of that magic to the venue and staff of SoHo 63. Our first walk-thru occurred last summer and it wasn't planned and although we are Chandler residents, we had absolutely no idea of the hidden gem in Downtown Chandler called SoHo 63. Our photographer (DePoy Studios) walked us over to the venue, and Megan, the chief event coordinator, graciously welcomed us (without a meeting or without any hesitations that we were a same-sex couple). When Megan opened the doors to the ceremony space - my wife cried because it was so romantic. It was at that moment, that we knew, we ARE DEFINITELY getting married here.
Coordinator: One thing we noticed with other venues is that the staff isn't truly invested. With SoHo 63, they build relationships with their clients and it truly enhances the intimate details, design and flow of your wedding day. The staff at SoHo 63 is a group of wonderfully professional, sweet, kind-hearted women and it makes me sad that our wedding is over - because we will truly miss working with them. Our designated coordinator for the night was Jenna. She listened and gave us everything we asked for. Her attention to detail, her constant communication and overall interest in our love story completely captivated us. We felt very fortunate to have her by our side that night.
Rehearsal: One moment that stood out to us the night before our wedding at Rehearsal was how assertive, yet sweet Jenna was to our bridal party and guests who came into help. Families can be quite overbearing and in our family there are A LOT OF BOSSES. LOL But Jenna, sweet, Jenna, introduced herself to our group and said, "I don't want anyone disturbing the brides with any concerns, questions, or negativity the day of their wedding - you come to ME." At that moment, we knew Jenna was PERFECT!
Wedding Day: We were scheduled to do our First Look at SoHo 63. I walked into the building with my MOH first and as I walked in - the power in the entire building goes down. The staff and our photographers jumped on their phones and kept me calm. There was no indication why the power went out that day. It was throughout the entire block and random spots throughout Maricopa County. Megan was on the phone with what seemed like EVERYONE looking for back-up generators, other event spaces - everyone. Although I was in a silent (brief) panic in the background, I was seeing a team of employees brainstorm, plan, re-plan, and figure out how to make our dream happen for us. Our photographers even stated, "if this type of issue is going to occur, you'll want it to be at SoHo 63 because they are the best at figuring out what to do!" When my fiancé and I decided to change plans and do First Look somewhere else and just wait it out - the power came back on. It was an hour of panic but then it was truly a miracle. Although this incident is a completely out of this world, rare occurrence - the staff at SoHo 63 acted promptly and professionally and now we can (all) laugh about. Now. LOL
Wedding Night: After the power-outing issue and our First Look, my bride and I were on Cloud Nine. Every second after that was PURE BLISS. The venue looked absolutely gorgeous! The energy, love and joy within the SoHo 63 walls created an amazing and almost heavenly glow. It literally felt like a dream. The staff was so caring, so...IN IT with us. Every time I looked up or away, Jenna's eyes or another staff member's eyes were on me or my bride eager to help, connect or read what we needed - they were THERE. It was an unforgettable connection we The Brides felt with the staff at SoHo 63.
What you are paying for at SoHo 63 is so much more than an entire wedding space with multiple rooms. You are paying for a magical experience that any couple would want on their wedding day. The venue space is chic, modern and industrial which allowed us Arizonians feel like we are on the east coast. SoHo 63 was truly a hidden gem and we have to say that SoHo 63 and the staff will make your wedding dreams come true. Our year of planning came and went way too quickly, but if we had to do it all over again - we absolutely would because SoHo 63 was purely magical. read more
