In 1927, the James Oviatt Building was nothing but dirt and blueprints—a vision waiting to take shape. Steel beams were laid, floors were raised, and piece by piece, it transformed into an Art Deco landmark.

Wedding planning feels the same way at first—a daunting hole in the ground where you can’t quite see how it will all come together. But with a game plan, the right team, and a little patience, the pieces start falling into place. And before you know it, you’re standing in something timeless, something uniquely yours.

Because great things—buildings and weddings—aren’t just made. They’re built. 💛

In 2025, couples are embracing the beauty of intimate weddings—ditching the giant guest lists, saving money, and focusing on what truly matters: celebrating with the people they love most.

At The Oviatt, we’re all about creating unforgettable moments, whether it’s a cozy dinner for 10 or a lively rooftop party for 120. Our historic space sets the perfect scene for a micro wedding that’s intimate, personal, and absolutely magical.

Let us show you how small can be spectacular. 💛
