From the reviews
The Cruz building is incredible, unique, lavish, elegant, beautiful, opulent and so much more. I had my dream wedding on December 4th,2021. Thanks to my wedding planner and all the vendors I worked with, the wedding was a success and a huge hit with the guests. I used all three floors of the venue.
The Cruz Building is an exceptional venue for any couple looking to create a truly unforgettable wedding experience. Nestled in a prime location, this historic building seamlessly blends timeless elegance with modern amenities, making it an ideal choice for both intimate ceremonies and lavish receptions.
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.
True story - I was walking by the Cruz building years ago and there was a wedding going on. I literally stood outside with my face pressed to the glass wondering how beautiful it must be inside…….
Getting married at The Cruz Building
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
