We had to switch venues last minute, and Laura was great in her response. We were able to conduct and record our interview. Thank you for everything!

This was really such a special treat (and find) for us! Laura was just incredible in terms of communication and accommodation. Teresa greeted us so warmly and was just wonderful to ensure that we were set up. Cody was amazing - really helped us out in a tremendous way. Overall I can’t think of another place I would have had our farewell gathering. The space itself was just perfect and LOVED how turn key it was. Hoping people who read this look no further and just book with Laura - you’ll be glad you did.

Overall, great experience! Contacts were very quick to respond and help, and the space was adorable. We were even able to stop by a few days early to see it in person, which was very helpful. Only thing to note - We had the space booked at 10am. We were notified at our early visit that their breakfast goes until 10am, so staff would be in the space cleaning at that time to turn around for us to use. Staff was cleaning and other guests were coming and going in the space until 10:30. We were still able to start setting up, but would have been nice for them to end breakfast early or not let us book until 10:30 since that’s when we truly got the space.
