    The Baker Building is a truly unique wedding venue with so much vintage charm and character. The building itself has numerous cute corners for great portraits, it is located in a fun neighborhood, and has a great facade. There is also lovely landscaping around the immediate building that provides a variety of backdrop options for photos. Peninsula Park is only a couple of blocks away as well. The space itself is incredibly versatile and can be transformed to fit any couple's vision. I have photographed several events here and always excited to go back. I highly recommend The Baker Building to any couple looking for a one-of-a-kind wedding experience.

  • Beautiful venue, friendly and attentive owners

    From the moment we first reached out to The Baker Building, we were impressed by their helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly staff. They were attentive to our needs and guided us through the planning process with ease. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, with beautiful historic details and classic amenities that created the perfect setting for our special day. Jen and Mark were responsive to our requests and assisted us in planning aspects of our wedding, ensuring it was a day we'll never forget. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue and highly recommend The Baker Building to any couple looking to host their wedding in a truly remarkable space.

  • Highly recommend!
