Held a birthday party and it was a great spot. I had been a little worried about parking but even with almost 50 people we had no issues. Host was always responsive and made planning the party in the space easy. We had a few hiccups - our issues things like us not realizing no one brought a knife for the cake kinda thing - but host was always very helpful and we were lucky she was able to help.

Yo! This place was great! Super accommodating and helpful. They set up the PA system for us. Were asking if they could grab us more seating when a few more people showed up. Chelsea was a great host. Overall 5 stars!

Our small business had the most wonderful Friendsgiving event at Moontower! Chelsea was extremely quick to respond to all of our questions and even pre-set the tables before we arrived to decorate! The space held 40+ beautifully and Maryl was on site to help us with anything we needed. Don't second guess booking this spot for your next event!

The space is beautiful and charming. Our event turned out great and we would happily come back for other events. For others booking, it is a cute, little room inside with 2 bathrooms and an outdoor area that is under a one pole tent with lots of outdoor seating. There are plenty of tables inside too. The caterers did need to prep outside as there isn’t a prep space and the bartenders served from tables as the bar is not available when using outside catering/bartending service. Sound system is a little tricky so make sure you figure out what you need before the party starts!

Pictures do not represent the space well. The space is much smaller and ‘rustic’ than it appears. It was advertised in accommodating 40, however it was super crowded with 36. I would say 30 would be a better estimation. The host was great in communicating previous to our arrival, however the space was not prepared for us when we arrived with the proper amount of tables and chairs- and although we worked together to get it set up, it added a layer of stress to not have it set up. They were helpful in using the equipment provided, which worked great as well as allowing us to store things in an out of the way area.

Both the venue and host, Chelsea, were wonderful! We received many compliments on the space and Chelsea was incredibly helpful and accommodating. The venue has everything you need from ice and table linens to outdoor space and extra tables and chairs. Would absolutely book again and work with Chelsea and her team.

Moontower Ciders was the perfect venue for our event! We rented Moontower for our wedding weekend welcome dinner and were able to rent both the indoor and outdoor areas. Chelsea was extremely helpful and flexible with the layout and decorations! As far as the cider and wine goes, everyone was obsessed with the Boo Berry cider and the range of options. We cannot recommend enough Moontower and the team for your event -- it's the perfect intimate spot for any gathering.
