The placed worked out perfectly for the event. They were very accommodating and made sure it was set up correctly.
It was beautiful, Bill was nice courteous . I would definitely recommend this place to my friends.
This is an amazing space. Bill was great to work with and both Ryan and Slash were fantastic and super helpful during the event. I would happily host an event here in the future if I ever had the need.
Great place! Bill was very responsive and helpful!
Our original wedding venue cancelled on my husband and I three months away from our date, and it felt like a miracle to find and book this space less than a week later. Bill was incredibly easy to work with, a consummate professional who rushed over to the venue for us on more than one occasion. I sent him laundry lists of questions and he answered each and every one. He and their bar and technical team made our day go by so smoothly, it was truly perfect and so many of our guests said so, too.
Great from start to finish. Easy to access space and quick response time. Excellent staff as well.
Great space with a great host
Everything was great with the venue. I didn’t run into many issues at all, and the ones I did run into were pretty easily resolved. Bill and everyone at the venue were great to me and my guests and although some things went wrong on my end of the event, Bill and his staff were great and completed everything as they said they would.
