About this venue

The Chariot is a striking luxury venue that combines dramatic architecture with refined elegance.

The room’s ornate columns, detailed ceiling accents, and black-and-gold mezzanine create an atmosphere reminiscent of a regal European palace. Designed for large celebrations, the ballroom offers an expansive open floor plan complemented by a wraparound balcony that overlooks the main level, adding both visual interest and additional seating options. Every detail of the space from its sophisticated ironwork to its impeccable lighting has been crafted to elevate the event experience.

    We loved working with The Chariot! Their communication was quick and responsive, which made planning our special day a breeze. The quality of their work was truly breathtaking! The venue was spacious and more than we ever could have expected. The team went above and beyond to help us plan every detail, and we especially enjoyed working with Mitch and the rest of the staff. We are so grateful to The Chariot for contributing to making our wedding day truly unforgettable.

    We toured The Chariot while looking for a wedding venue and absolutely loved it! The space is gorgeous, super open, bright, and has such a great vibe. Aylin and Mitch were awesome and super friendly, helpful, and really made us feel taken care of. You can tell they love what they do and know their stuff. The layout is perfect for a wedding, and it was so easy to picture our day there. Definitely one of our favorite spots we’ve seen!
