MM Galleri’s Showroom, Bent and Light is a venue that will have your friends and family fooled into thinking they’ve been transported into a cave.
It’s not a real cave, of course. This one-of-a-kind space only looks like one because of the structured ceiling and walls that have been crafted from bent marble. Thankfully, that’s as far as the similarities lie. Unlike real caves, you can still connect to your mobile data, so your guests won’t have to resort to sending smoke signals. They’ll still be able to post and tag your nuptials on IG.

Do note, however, that this venue doesn’t provide furniture or food, so you’ll need to work with vendors to arrange for seating, decor, and catering services. It might seem like a lot of work but our wedding planning guide has steps on how to get started.
