I am still reeling from our magical wedding on 3/29/25. The Cruz Building was the most perfect venue and our guests were raving about its beauty. There is literally not a single thing we would change about our day.

Questions about the venue
Can we split the ceremony and reception between two rooms?+
Yes. The Cruz Building's multi-space layout allows you to hold the ceremony in one area and move guests to a separate reception room without leaving the building.
Is parking included for 100+ guests?+
The venue has on-site parking. Confirm guest lot capacity and any overflow agreements during your site visit, as Commodore Plaza has shared access.
What's the weather contingency?+
All-weather indoor space accommodates ceremonies and receptions. Verify tent options for outdoor areas during your consultation.
Are outside caterers allowed?+
Contact the venue directly at http://www.cruzbuildings.com/ or through their booking team to confirm catering restrictions and preferred vendor lists.
What's the earliest we can access the space for setup?+
Setup timing depends on your package. Standard wedding day access typically allows 4-6 hours before your event start time.
