I rented Emily and Brian's home for a murder mystery party for my husband's birthday party, and it was perfect! We had so much fun in their beautiful home, which really set the mood and tone for the night! Emily and Brian were so helpful, accommodating and great communicators and made the entire process a total breeze. I very much would recommend this home AND working with Emily and Brian!!
