  • Incredible DIY Venue

    The LBIF was incredible in so many ways. The observation deck was perfect for cocktail hour and the main gallery space fit our 85 guests PERFECTLY with a king table down the center and 9 round tables around. We had enough room for a dance floor, a Photo Booth, and two bars. We could not be more thrilled with how the space transformed and how KIND and accommodating their staff is. Very easy to work with and very supportive. Jaime (events coordinator) is a literal godsend. My husband and I are both in hospitality so we planned everything ourselves, including DIYing all decor and even the flowers, but Jaime kept us organized and sane. Could not recommend enough!!!

  • Great for all budget ranges!

    We absolutely loved having LBIF as our venue! We were thankful enough to have s beautiful sunny day so we did our ceremony on the beach, cocktail hour outside LBIF, and reception inside the gallery. The gallery is so beautiful already with the artwork and bistro lighting, so there was no need to add decorations. We had 100 people and there was plenty of room for the guest seating plus a large dance floor. The staff was so kind and allowed us to drop stuff off the day before and pick up the next day. What I love most about this venue is the flexibility. We were trying to work with a budget and had the flexibility to choose the catering, alcohol, dj, coordinator, rentals, and decor all at the price we wanted. Great for a budget couple looking for ways to cut costs.
