Awesome spot. Used for a small production, everything there looks better than the pictures. Cool old style building with modern touch and great host. Will definitely find more reasons to come back.

Yes, I would book again.

Trent and Christine were so accommodating of our production. We held our film shoot here because of the sound treatment in the studio, and they were kind enough to clear the space, offer craft services, and allow us to bring in outside furniture so we could build our own set. This was the perfect space for our project, and we are so grateful to their team for hosting us.

Boulevard Arcade is a great place to book. Starting from the moment you walk in the door, the hospitality and space is beyond expectations. I love it here. They make it so convenient to turn a vision to reality.
