We couldn't have asked for a better event space and staff to host our event. Hippo factory staff was helpful from the initial contact until the end of our event. Not only was the staff helpful, but the event space is beautiful with a great location and a lot of street parking available. We couldn't ask for a better experience and we will be booking the space multiple times in 2024! Thank you!

Hippo studio was a beautiful event space. The blank canvas look means that you can transform it into anything you want. The studio is well lit, clean and modern-looking. Our guests loved the space as well. The staff at Hippo studio was also great with their quick reply and follow-through. They allowed us to visit the studio before and after booking so we could take measurements. Lastly, I was worried about parking but it ended up working out well. My guests found parking on the street fairly easily. If you’re on the fence, do it.
