Monique C. booked a birthday party for 25 people
Yes, I would book again.
Wow ! Where do I even begin? From Parma’s unmatched energy, to the beautiful paintings on display, back down to the beauty of the art studio itself ! This place was everything I expected and more! Parma was beyond friendly, professional, super helpful, informative, communicative, everything ! She reached out to me to inquire the type of event I was hosting, and from that initial conversation I knew this was going to be a great experience. The area where I had my birthday gathering was more then enough. It was easy to find. Parking was a huge plus as well. Parma and her partner checked in a few times, just to make sure everything was going smooth and if we needed any assistance. When it was time to start cleaning up, once again Parma and her partner were there to give a hand as well. I don’t have absolutely anything negative to say about my experience. As far as music and sound goes, there were large speakers available, but make sure your phone is compatible with the AUX cord to be able to connect. Or bring your own speakers. I am excited to have met Parma and work with her, there’s no doubt in my mind that I would book her space again! Thanks for everything Parma!!

Hannah R. booked a birthday party for 50 people
Yes, I would book again.
The space was perfect for our needs! We were throwing a Met Gala themes party for our friends. There was space to dance, socialize, and had space to view art all evening. The host was gracious and open to letting us do our own thing. He stayed in the space throughout the event and was respectful. Some of the equipment in the space was not working properly, a previous event had messed with some levels, so I decided to use my own equipment. The owners adorable dog was present at the beginning! The only thing that felt strange was that the owner was comfortable with smoking cigarettes inside, 100% his space and did not want to be disrespectful. I may have wanted to double check policies on indoor smoking before renting the space. (to be fair the space does not smell aggressively of cigarettes, but he did go to a window a few times throughout the night and it was noticeable)

Tom was a wonderful host and the space worked for my movement class. 30 women showed up and we were tight, but we made it work. This space is great for seated events.
