Colin C. booked a short film shoot for 5 people

Producer

Yes, I would book again.

Our third time partnering with Brian. Always 5 stars.

Gabriel K. booked an event for 150 people

Yes, I would book again.

I held my mother's memorial in the meeting space in Sept. Could not have asked for a better experience. Attentive, flexible, patient, and communicative during prep and booking (Brian, thank you for everything, from my entire family). Helpful, intuitive, and the aura of the location itself - stunning on day-of. The space itself is charming, equally humble and beautiful, and simply unique - and very affordable given all those attributes. Can't recommend enough, certainly the type of place you would hold an event near and dear to your heart. Thanks to the entire staff.

Adriane A. booked an off-site for 100 people

Yes, I would book again.

Even though the room was set to hold 300 people it was a very peaceful space and was perfect for our service. Brian was there when we arrived and was extremely helpful with our set up.
