Candlelight: A Tribute to Adele - September 2023…read more Walking into the venue felt magical. The candlelit setting was beautiful, romantic, and unlike any other concert experience I've attended. Unfortunately, my date chose that evening to start an argument, which put a damper on what should have been a wonderful night. Even so, the atmosphere and performance were memorable enough that I still look back on the experience fondly. I hope to have a chance for a do-over someday and enjoy the concert the way it was meant to be enjoyed. It truly is a special experience. Before the show, we stopped by the brewery next door. The bartender was friendly, welcoming, and fun to chat with, which made for what i thought would be a great start to the evening...

If you're an old school Orlando resident you'll remember the days when this place had shops, food and an arcade. You may even recall that the infamous Ron Pearlman had an office here once upon a time. After losing attention from visitor to competition like Disney, Universal and large strip malls, it sat vacant for a time. Then came 2014/2015 when several new start up tech companies came in and gave the space new life. The addition of Creedo coffee helps to fuel these young professionals as the build up their businesses and revive this building. Let's hope it continues to be a great place for a thriving bunch of great start ups that help Orlando grow! Overall: A Love the newest face on this space!

5 Stars for a building with a crazy history, a heck of a design, and an surprisingly innovative new…read moreidentity. Oh yeah, and it's also a 90s Mouseketeer. I'm about to make a bold claim. The Church Street Exchange is Orlando's Christina Aguilera. Bear with me here for a minute as I make my case. Remember simpler times when Christina was a teen princess, wearing pastel pants, crop tops, and a shy smile? That was the Exchange building as a mall and arcade. It was built in the 80s as a destination for tourists who wanted to eat and shop after days spent at Disney. It was young but had great bones- perhaps the decor was a bit over the top, but this set the building apart from the other teen pop stars of the day. But much like the growing competition of the teen starlet scene, Disney and Universal decided they would create their own "downtowns" and shopping districts and the Exchange building was bound for its first transformation. Enter XTina. I liken the Lou Pearlman office era of the Exchange Building to the wrestling/brothel setting of that timeless and eloquent hit, Dirrrry (three Rs). The fact that the Exchange was scene to an FBI raid of Pearlman's offices is just the cherry on top for the purposes of this comparison. And now we have a transformed Christina. Mother. Judge on the Voice. Surprise collaborator to little-known bands like A Great Big World (catapulting them into stardom). Much like this new and improved Christina, the current iteration of the Exchange building is one that holds a lot of promise, and whose role is to support innovators. With the intentional addition of multiple tech companies, a women's leadership center, and a tech startup co-working space, the Exchange has reinvented itself and is attracting the young, vibrant, creative class of Orlando. Will this be the permanent new identity for both Christina and the Exchange building? Maybe. Will we still look back on their history with somewhat evil glee? Obvs.

Tanner Hall was absolutely beautiful. We payed for Tanner Hall from 5pm-11pm with then an hour…read moreincluded for cleanup after. We also rented Little Hall to use as a bridal suit from 3pm-11pm which also included an hour after for clean up. Kamilla Udit was the name of the person who always answered the emails with my questions. She was very fast to respond to all my questions. She sent a reminder the week that the layout was due for both venues, which leads me to my next point- As long as you give them the layout a week in advance they will set up all the chairs and tables where you want. They have plenty of chairs and tables for indoor seating. (We did have to rent chairs for outdoor seating for the ceremony itself.) When we arrived day of the setup was exactly what I had drawn out. They usually show Tanner Hall and Little Hall a couple times a week in the evening as long as there's no event happening. I emailed ahead a few times to make sure there was no event and got to tour both halls a few times. We also met with the DJ the week of at the venue. It was easy to gain access to in order to take photos and video so that everyone in the wedding party could see it ahead of time. The bathrooms were clean and had plenty of stalls. There's also plenty of normal parking and handicapped parking around the two halls. Tanner Hall itself is very pretty. The dance floor is in the middle and I really liked that because it made it easier for everyone to see the first dance and such. Best of all, you get to use your own venders, so we were able to pick our own catering. (A lot of venues make you use their official caterer and that price definitely adds up.) Overall it was a great experience. I'd HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful but cost effective venue. (This venue was by far the cheapest I found. A lot of venues cost my entire budget for the wedding.) The gazebo outside comes with the rental of Tanner Hall so that's where we held the ceremony. There's also a beautiful oak three that I was told some people use for the ceremony. We decided on the gazebo because there's a sidewalk leading up to it and I figured that would be easier for our grandparents to walk on during the procession in. I emailed ahead to ask if we could set up outside prior to our rental and was told that was fine, so we had the chairs for the ceremony delivered at 2pm. The ONLY bad mark for this place was the woman who was there day of to keep an eye on things. When the reception was over my husband and I left and a few members of my bridal party stayed to clean. We had things mostly cleaned by that point too. (We had a team of four people there during the reception that we paid to clean up trash as people finished eating and things of that nature.) So as some people left early that team of four cleaned up the tables and such. The gifts and a lot of other things were already packed up and ready to be moved to cars. The food was all collected and just needed to be loaded into a car. So for the most part, when we did the send-off, most of the venue was already clean. One of my bridesmaids told me that after we left the lady was yelling at people asking who was going to clean. The bridesmaid tried telling her that it was taken care of and she and a few others were going to clean the last of it, but the woman was still freaking out about who would clean and the deposit only gets returned if the place is cleaned. My bridesmaid also tried asking her a few times what all needed to be done for her to consider it "clean" because she wanted to know if they needed to vacuum or anything. But the woman just kept freaking out about who was cleaning. She even yelled at a random guest who was not part of the bridal party nor was responsible to clean after to start cleaning. And I was also told that she was mad at the DJ for using a room to store things in that he was told he was allowed to use. That's why I took off a few stars for professionalism. If my bridesmaid was clearly telling her that there was a plan for the cleaning, then there was no need to continue to yell at people (including guests) about it. With that in mind, that was really the only bad thing about this place. Overall I'd still recommend it to anyone who is looking to have a casual wedding. (My husband and I spent about $6500 on our entire wedding which we planned on/paid for things assuming there would be 100 guests.) So if you're in the area and want more than a court house wedding but less than some of those crazy $20K+ weddings, this venue is great. Outside is gorgeous for a ceremony and the venue interior is very nice. I'm honestly a little surprised that more people don't use it for weddings.

I was at Greek Fest this year and did not hear one OPA!…read more What I did see was lots of smiling people and why not? There was great food (lots of it) plus wonderful entertainment. This has always been a well organized event and it seems they have really enhanced the offerings. There was several ways to get fresh hot food. We went on a Saturday night and they had several different stations open and a lot of choices. We went with the shish kabob and Greek fries. Always a good choice! I saw another line with more dinner favorites. They even had multiple ways to get dessert. One place was cranking out donuts and hot dessert while the market had a long traditional bakery counter packed with goodies. Speaking of the market besides the bakery they had an area where you could take home "heat and eat" family sized entrees and soup. They even had inexpensive cooler bags for people like me who love a "home" cooked meal. They had lots of other food for sale. I bought a bunch of Greek oregano, blocks of cheese and some olives. They had jewelry of all prices and even a mini rummage sale. I left my husband watching the entertainment while I shopped but I did not feel bad. There was a lot of traditional dancing and a band. My favorite was when they dimmed the lights and women danced with candles. It was beautiful. Since this is a popular event, parking is offered several ways and they provide a shuttle. I paid the $5 for close parking and was able to find a spot just steps from the entrance.

5 Stars for a fabulously DIY venue that makes me want to throw a warehouse party!…read more I've been to several different events held at this warehouse and each event has used the space in an interesting way that for their needs. From an intimate 7 person dinner party to a literary function with a stage and full house- this flex-space has functioned well and left people with lots of share-worthy moments. In terms of a venue there's the advantage of a small kitchen as well as storage space that is closed off from the main area. Additionally, there is a parking lot that services the warehouses and that is largely unused in the evening. I love the space and am always excited to attend events hosted there, if only just to see how they will arrange it and decorate it!

I recently used this venue for my son's surprise birthday party, and I cannot say enough great…read morethings about the experience! I reached out just two weeks before the event, and they were incredibly accommodating from the very beginning. Amy even let me know they were running a special at the time and made sure it was applied to my booking -- which I truly appreciated. Since I'm located in Jacksonville, she took the time to send me a detailed video of the venue so I could see the space beforehand. That gave me so much peace of mind. On the day of the event, she proactively reached out to let me know she was having some issues with her phone but wanted to make sure I had an alternate number to contact her just in case. That level of communication meant a lot. We did have a small issue opening the lockbox to retrieve the keys, but when we called, she answered right away and calmly walked us through accessing the backup key. Problem solved quickly! Most importantly, the space looked exactly like the video -- clean, well-maintained, and perfect for our celebration. Everything went smoothly, and my son had an amazing surprise birthday. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful space with excellent customer service!
