“I don’t think I can fully put into words how amazing our experience was with House Three Thirty for our wedding day! From the moment we put out an inquiry and toured the venue, we were set! I have never worked with a more prompt and accommodating coordinator as Vaughn Myers - he’s STELLAR! He helped us with every detail to make our day perfect! The kitchen staff accommodated making Indian food, the getting ready spaces for both the bride and groom were phenomenal, they allowed us to use the space for our engagement photos, and even went out of their way to acquire over 100 records to use for our place settings at the venue (I had mentioned during our tasting how I loved the set up and Vaughn made it happen without a question). Vaughn also helped us stick to a timeline during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception to ensure we weren’t running late while making sure all our guests were taken care of. Aside from their amazing staff, the venue itself is stunning and did not require much additional decor outside of our florals (big help with our budget). 100000/10 recommend utilizing House Three Thirty for any events in the future!”
