Kristin R. booked an event for 80 people
The space was amazing and the entire process from seeing the venue to booking to event day was a breeze. Nate was very accommodating and even allowed us to pay for an extra half hour on the fly as we wanted to give our guest more time to enjoy themselves. The guest raved about the space after, and we couldn't be happier with the place!

I threw my husband a rock and roll 60th Birthday at this incredible venue and all I have to say is WOW! Every single person was like, “how did you find this place?!” Every step of the way before the event, Nate helped me with a gazillion questions with a lovely patience. And his incredible event staff made me and our guests feel so welcome and cared for. We would book again in a second! Thank you for everything!

This place and the people are amazing! Nate and his crew made sure the evening went off without a hitch. The location has an amazing vibe. Nate was able to recommend musicians and caterers that were wonderful. Everyone had a spectacular time. We ate outside in their beautiful backyard terrace, danced in the Speakeasy, played Blackjack upstairs, and had a night that we will remember forever.

The Academy is an incredible space and Nate and his hosted a group of about 80 of us for drinks on a Sunday afternoon. The entire set up was organized very quickly on short notice - thanks! Peopel especially loved the downstairs speakeasy which has several rooms and a really nice bar. We will come back again. Thanks for hosting us!

Amazing meeting venue! On site service was fabulous. After our team meeting we went downstairs to the speakeasy for a cocktail demo and drinks/chat. My team loved it! Would be awesome for a happy hour or corp/theme party. So beautiful, I want to live there. =)
