This space was perfect for my 30th birthday soirée! It's an intimate space, perfect for a group of 20-30 people to have a classy affair. The venue has gorgeous details, including the cutest little nook, wall decor and lighting that make it a perfect turn-key space. The venue was also so accommodating, and Jordan is great at working with you to customize the space for your needs. The only downside was not having more time to setup before the start of our event. We were time constrained as there was an event prior to ours, and the space requests a 3-hr turnaround between bookings. Otherwise, I'd recommend reserving at least 2 additional hours before the start of your event to setup.

Jordan and staff are incredible hosts. Jordan was accommodating from the beginning and even offered incremental options to enhance the experience. The space is immaculate with great attention to detail. Jordan’s passion for events/hospitality was felt by ~35 guests, who had a blast! 11/10 would book again.

I hosted a happy hour event here for about 60 people the day before my wedding and it was perfect. The venue space is beautiful and the staff were really responsive and helpful (both in planning the event and day of). We added the additional programming room and it was a perfect size for the number of guests we had. They also let us bring our own snacks to offer our guests and we were able to play our own Spotify playlist over the sound system. It was a great value for the price and I’d highly recommend the space for anyone planning an event.
