We had an all-day offsite meeting for 18 people. Space was great and Mica was very helpful before the meeting and day of the meeting. Very helpful to have the kitchen attached to keep beverages and snacks throughout the day. Would definitely consider this venue for another offsite.

This is a great venue, perfect for our team of 16. The room is air conditioned, there is a large white board, screen/projectors for presentations & a small kitchen off to the side. We opened the doors for fresh air, it was a beautiful day and was quiet. We had access to extra tables and chairs to move outside for lunch. Mica was super easy to work with and very flexible. We will use this venue again!
