The Pointe

We loved the Pointe! We had both ceremony and reception there. They were very flexible. Anna (who I don’t think is there anymore) was the best! She was there six hours before our wedding setting up and coordinating with vendors. I didn’t pay a dime extra for her services. She also stayed after and helped us get things where they needed to be.
I think they were still rather new at weddings when we got married so there was a lot of miscommunication. They seemed like they genuinely cared about what we wanted though. I was originally told only 200 people would fit into our ceremony room and we invited about 280 total. I had to do two separate invites due to not everyone fitting in the ceremony room. Later I found out someone had over 200 in the ceremony room so I was a bit frustrated had two rounds of invites if it wasn’t necessary.
You just can’t complain with the flexibility on caterers and alcohol though. The space is just beautiful and so many wonderful photo opportunities in that neighborhood. We didn’t pay for wedding party transportation because we just had lovely photos within walking distance and in the venue itself.

I used the Pointe for my wedding ceremony and reception.
Overall the price, the looks of the venue, and location suited the needs of my wedding and guests just perfectly. We could hang a chandelier, and decorate how we wanted, and because no events were scheduled before us we could set up in the space in advance. Which was great because my wife and I plus our families did all the setup and breakdown.
There was plenty of room for the ceremony and reception (band included) to happen in the Barrel Room. Barrett, the owner/​operator, was helpful and for the most part available. The event manager was available the day of the event and helpful when we needed her. Clean up after the event wasn’t scheduled properly, and that was a bit of a hassle, but I would chalk that up to the fact that the weather was so bad that weekend.
The main drawback to the space that could have affected the event is that the caterer didn’t have access to a proper prep kitchen due to inclement weather before/​during the event. Luckily, the caterer I used is professional and was able to work around the limited access to the prep area. Also, the bridal suite was a bit lacking, basically an office (glass doors-​limited privacy), but my wife and I are laid back so that wasn’t a big deal to us.
I would recommend the space for most events and I thought the building itself has been redone and maintained in a way that makes the space interesting to be in and great for events.
I wanted to give 3.5 stars, but Unilocal wont let me.

The Pointe is a Butchertown building the leases office space and hosts events.
In addition, The Pointe is known the location of the Alley Theatre Company which has its own check in and review on Unilocal.
The Pointe has a very clean, modern, open feel for all their event rooms. There are a lot of conveniently located restrooms on site. I have attended everything from a rustic wedding to an underground bar-​tending competition at the Pointe and the size and the feel of the room has always been well suited.
I am not sure if they use an onsite caterer but the staff has always been friendly and helpful.
My only complaint is that this building is a little bit of a labyrinth and the labeling of events and office spaces is always a little confusing to find.

The Pointe is very flexible to work with. I was able to use whatever caterer I wished, bring in my own alcohol and, decorate how I wanted. The space itself cannot be beat especially for the price! I had my ceremony AND reception there and got so many compliments. You can adapt the space into whatever «feel» you want, its like a blank canvas so possibilities are endless. The best part is you can rent your tables and chairs from them for as much or less then other vendors and you don’t have to stress about set up/​tear down. They also let me set up the reception area the Friday before the wedding. This isn’t guaranteed but if no one is using the space they will allow it.
My only gripe is sometimes it would take a while for them to get back to me but it all worked out in the end and I would have it there again for my next wedding. Just kidding!

We absolutely loved having our wedding at The Pointe. The space is very unique and fit all our needs. We were able to fit 200 people comfortably in both the atrium and barrel room for the reception. The guests loved the rustic feel of the floors and exposed beams and windows. Since most guests were from the area it was nice to have a space that most people hadn’t been to yet.
Anna and Barrett were very flexible with our needs and pretty much let us do anything we asked. They were helpful in letting us know what had worked in the past and made sure we didn’t forget any detail. We rented chairs and tables from The Pointe and they matched great with the floors. They also let my decorator in the day before to set up the reception space and this was very nice to see at rehearsal. Anna was there the day of meeting with all the vendors making sure our wishes were executed correctly.
The Bridal suite was a great place to decompress before the walk down the aisle. However, the sole complaint we had was the lack of space designated for the groom to hang out prior to the wedding. It sounded like that was a work in progress and probably won’t be an issue in the future.
All in all we couldn’t be happier with our decision to have our wedding at The Pointe! If you are looking for a unique venue that gives you the freedom to make it your own with great people to help make your day special, you’ve found your place!
