Blanco Urban Venue Reviews
We discovered Blanco during our search for a modern, minimal venue that could accomodate an outdoor ceremony and indoor reception. It was very important to us that the outdoor area had some sort of shade solution since our wedding was in the summer, and Blanco’s rooftop was the perfect fit with the elegant roll out shades that could be retracted at night for rooftop festivities! We were also impressed with the care and detail the venue team put into upkeeping the space between events from what we saw the couple times we visited before our wedding day.Coordination and organization for payments and documents up until the event day was an absolute breeze. This wasn’t something I was expecting to be so appreciative of until I was deep into the wedding planning process. Blanco uses an online portal where you can make all of your payments, access invoices and receipts, and view upcoming payment due dates, making it very easy to keep track of everything.The Blanco team was also a pleasure to work with! We worked with Chrissy for the initial coordination, Renee for the preparation up until the event and then with both Renee and Hailey the day of. They were all so helpful and welcoming to make sure we had everything set and ready to go for the rehearsal and wedding day. Hailey even assisted me with my dress change as I was rushing between reception activities! They made sure we felt well taken care of and we couldn’t be more grateful!

Great venue! We hosted our Hindu wedding ceremony followed by reception here. It's a very modern space that gives you the flexibility to be creative with your decor. When we were searching for venues, they were the only one that checked all our boxes...✅ high ceilings✅ no carpet✅ outdoor & indoor space✅ shaded rooftop✅ custom caterer allowed✅ in the city✅ full venue rentalThere are also plenty of hotels nearby for out of town guests. Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed 😊

My partner and I had a hard time finding a wedding venue. We didn't want that rustic barn vibe, but country club options felt a bit too stuffy and buttoned up for us. Then we found Blanco and fell in love. The venue itself is totally beautiful, and the Blanco staff (we worked with Hailey) is professional, responsive, and just generally lovely. They helped us coordinate rentals, drop offs, etc, and all went well! We also had our wedding catered by one of Blanco's partner restaurants (Chef Javi from Farmer's Union) and it was AMAZING! Truly the best food I've ever had at a wedding. Highly recommend all around.
