 booked a rehearsal dinner for 60 people
Yes, I would book again.

The venue was so perfect. The old post office is iconic and use of space is very conducive to conversation groups. It is easy to decorate but no decorations are needed. Chip is so accommodating and easy to work with. Attendees were very impressed with the space and thought downtown Kilgore and the post office looked like a movie set. I would definitely recommend this space.
