MonOrchid is a great venue for a smaller wedding. We loved the beautiful all white backdrop for the wedding ceremony. Having it in an art gallery, you don't need a ton of decorations as there is already beautiful art hanging on the walls. We paid to have lights hung from above. Krissy was over the top helpful in all stages of wedding planning. We were able to bring in our own liquor (with a hired bartender), which was sooo much cheaper then paying per person to drink all night. We were even able to bring in some snacks for late night munchies (popcorn, peanuts, m&m's). We went with their catering and it was inexpensive compared with most venues. The only reason I did not give this venue 5 stars was because at one point I went to put a card in the vintage bird cage with the rest of the cards and all the gifts and cards were in the room where people had waited before the wedding ceremony. The room was completely empty except for a man who had wandered in from the alley and was looking at art work in the room. The door to the alley was wide open and he walked right in. Gifts/cards could have been easily stolen. Other than this one security glitch, I highly recommend this venue.
