I hear a lot of my brides who elope wanting a beautiful space to say I do, but being limited to extreme venue prices when they only have a hand full of people. This is the perfect spot for those brides, they get a space where they can still make it feel special, that is tailored to a intimate amount of guests, without having to pay out a crap ton of money. I have seen bridal showers and rehearsal dinners here as well, great space for your cozy personal bride.
