I like this place and the people working here seem really nice. The bartenders did a great job. The sound in the room isn't great naturally for a loud band. Go for the vibes and the music, not the acoustics.

Had my birthday party here at the end of March and everything was absolutely amazing! The host Catherine was incredibly responsive and accommodating, and we absolutely LOVED our bartenders Ly and Grace. Really recommend for any event that you want to make your own

Had my little brother's birthday 50-year-old celebration here. Very nice setup very roomy not a major liquor selection that night but the owner and bartenders were very helpful to help us decide when other drink specials had a great time

We held our wedding reception here after a small private ceremony (months in between). I admittedly had very little to do with the planning (shout out to my wife and mother-in-law) but on the day of, Catherine was great and very helpful. Andrew was our bartender for the night and, although he shared that he was new to the space, he was wonderful.For the actual space and how it worked for our reception (roughly 85-90 attendees), it was amazing. We used the gallery room for dining and the bar room area for additional seating and dancing. It was a little tight in the gallery room with how we set it up (large tables, giving some space for the showcased art as well) and it was a little congested with one doorway between the rooms.I didn't hear of anyone complaining or nitpicking any of the above and I was having too much fun to be worried about it at all. Everybody seemed to have a great time and it worked out so well. I 100% recommend considering MWM for any of your events, but especially for your wedding reception (or, the whole shebang as I know someone who did both ceremony and reception here).Thanks again, to everyone involved at Machines With Magnets!

I had my wedding at MWM a little over a month ago and I cannot overstate how wonderful it was. Catherine was amazing to work with, the space is BEAUTIFUL and very adaptable, the bar tenders were so nice, and the beer, wine, and cocktail lists were INCREDIBLE. The fact that multiple spaces were available made a separation between the dance floor and folks wanting to have a quieter time possible. The outdoor space is adorable and magical. Honestly, this place is an absolute gem and I can't recommend it highly enough!

It was set up very nice. Two huge rooms with a bar. A nice back with lights if u needed air. I went to a baby shower everything was set up excellent.

A flexible venue with a great vibe!My wife and I highly recommend Machines with Magnets. We planned a small Spring wedding (45 people) on a budget this past March. We planned the wedding ourselves on a very tight timeline (about three months of lead time!) while also getting ready for a new baby, so you can believe we were stressed and anxious.We looked at a few venues, but once we walked into MWM, we called off the search. The look of the space, the cost, and the flexibility and adaptability of management were all perfect for us. This isn't a traditional wedding venue -- it's an art gallery and recording studio with a built-in bar. It has several rooms, including a lovely outdoor patio, and easily fit our small wedding. The lovely wood floors, and earthy, tasteful design aesthetic brings a cozy and modern vibe.Catherine, the manager, worked with us directly throughout the process, addressed our concerns, and adapted to meet our needs. Unlike lots of traditional wedding venues, MWM gives an eight-hour slot as part of their basic price (making eight hours at MWM cheaper than three hours at most venues). You may not have heard of MWM, but chances are your other vendors have -- Catherine has worked with a lot of the caterers and rental places in the area, so they know the space and easily slot in. MWM does not require you work with any specific vendors.The exception is the bar. Going with MWM also means that you can check one other box off your list -- they have a built-in, fully-stocked bar, with lots of options for how you want to manage alcohol.On the actual night of the wedding, Catherine made sure we were introduced to all of the staff, who were very personable, professional, hard-working, and generally dedicated to making sure our guests had a good night.We highly recommend going with Machines with Magnets!
