Sacramento Urban & Loft Weddings

Urban & Loft Weddings

Urban Loft weddings have become the barnyard wedding for city residents. Offering the ultimate blank campus for the bride and groom's, an industrial loft or building has a lot to offer as a wedding venue. Originally thought of as being for the offbeat bride urban loft weddings have become mainstream and chic. With exposed brick, high ceilings, beams, and exposed heating ducts, industrial lofts offer a different type of aesthetic.

Most facilities offer expansive spaces which allow couples a lot of creativity when designing their ceremony and reception spaces. In addition, many of these urban venues allow you to bring in your own vendors which contribute to each wedding’s diverse character. These industrial/chic wedding venues, while not for everyone, definitely will offer couples an unconventional and novel wedding day. Some of our favorite venues at which to photograph follow below.

Leading Intimate Wedding Photographers in Sacramento

Beatnik Studios

Already listed as an art gallery venue, Beatnik Studios was one of the first urban loft wedding venues in the Sacramento region. With exposed brick, high ceilings, industrial windows, and plenty of room, Beatnik studios offer its clients a large blank space in which to design their ceremony. Originally opened by two Sacramento photographers, photography at Beatnik Studios becomes an intimate affair with loads of beautiful natural light that falls throughout the facility.

Beatnik Studios can host weddings in a variety of sizes due to a number of adjustable partitions that display artwork from local Sacramento artists. The venue has more than enough room for different caterers to work freely and because of Beatnik’s large parking area food trucks also have been known to work on-premise providing excellent food. Excellent staff and experienced owners who understand the intricacies of how weddings operate make Beatnik Studios one of Sacramento's premier wedding venues.
