Client Reviews

We hosted our reception at The Altar, and it was absolutely amazing! Calli, the venue coordinator, was great to work with during the planning process! When we first toured the venue, Calli made us feel so comfortable and was responsive to all our questions. On the day of the wedding, the venue looked so beautiful! The bartenders were also so great on our wedding day! We are so happy we had our reception here, and cannot say enough great things about The Altar & Calli!

Can’t say enough good things about Altar and their team. It’s such a unique venue and it fit our aesthetic perfectly. They provide the bartending staff and alcohol and that all went super smoothly. We loved getting to include beers from Altar’s own brewery. The venue coordinator Calli was amazing to work with, she was responsive and super helpful with finalizing details for our big day.
