Frequently asked questions

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.
