This venue and venue owner was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding! Kim was incredibly helpful with answering our questions and checked in often. On event day Kim checked in to ensure we had the best accommodations. The venue itself is beautiful and iconic and was instrumental in hosting our day.

Kim was great to work with and a communicative and responsive host. We loved the flexibility of the space and the overhead heaters were a great comfort for our February winter photoshoot.
