Patrick P. booked a baby shower for 25 people
I had a great experience working with Erica and her husband Randolph to organize a baby shower for my sisters. They were very responsive to my questions, and encouraged me to do an onsite visit to physically check out the space to be sure it was the right venue for our celebration. The space was exactly how I imagined it would look from the pictures, but getting to see all the awesome artwork around the room made it even better! The day of the event, Randolph was a pleasure to work with. He made sure we had everything we needed for us to have a great experience for our event. Our guests absolutely loved the space and were glad we hosted here since they never would have discovered it otherwise. Some guests were interested in checking out the regular community events, and a few who got to thinking about hosting something themselves in the future. I would highly recommend this space and Erica & Randolph as organizers. Cheers!
