American Tobacco Bay 7

Bay 7 was the perfect venue for our wedding. It is a beautiful converted warehouse space that you can customize to fit your own vision, which was great for us. It can be expensive and a lot of work to coordinate everything a la carte, but the end result is beyond worth it. This is not a "full service" venue, and it books up well in advance (we booked 14 months ahead), but it is a great option if you are looking for a unique space.

Tex is GREAT!!! There were a few hiccups with staff changes, but in the end everything worked out wonderfully.

What a great place to get married! We had both our ceremony and reception here. The space is BEAUTIFUL and the staff were helpful. Keep in mind that there are some additional things you have to do to book the space: hire an off duty police officer and get a liquor permit (which is a pain in the butt since it requires notarized signatures, cashiers check, etc.). But well worth those couple of hassles.

Bay 7 is the premiere place in Durham to hold your event. We were so thrilled that our out of town guests found it so unique. In the beginning, due to a staffing change, we had a lot of difficulty communicating with the staff. We were particularly concerned about the event the night before, about which we needed to know that they would be out of the space in time. Everything in the end worked out perfectly, and we had a day to remember!

I loved this location but it was probably a little over priced. If you're interested in using the space be sure to book far in advance as they fill up fast. We got the last Saturday available for 2008 and booked more than a year in advance.
