“Choosing this venue for our wedding was honestly one of the best decisions we made. From the very beginning, Ed and Abby welcomed us into their home and made us feel more like family than clients. Their venue is not only beautiful and affordable, but the amount of care and love they put into every detail truly made our day feel special. Abby was an absolute lifesaver throughout the planning process. She helped us finesse our color schemes, suggested flowers that matched the decor I already had, and always made us feel reassured whenever we felt overwhelmed. They had so many items available to use which saved us A LOT of money. Both Ed and Abby were incredibly hands-on and genuinely invested in making sure everything came together perfectly. Absolutely cannot forgot how accommodating they both were with my daughter. Ed & Abby made her feel so comfortable and welcomed that she knew the ins and outs of their home! Having the TVs were a huge plus. Between them and our planner, we felt so much less stress leading up to the wedding because we knew we were in good hands. Their kindness, support, and attention to detail made such a huge impact on our experience, and we’ll always be grateful for everything they did to help make our wedding day unforgettable.”

“The Graham Hotel Rooftop Bar was the perfect venue for our wedding reception. Ms. Basma was hands on and available 24/7, making the planning process a breeze. The venue was very nicely decorated with enough space for all our guests. Basma and her team were incredibly professional, and their service and attention to detail exceeded our expectations. We had our reception at the Alex Speakeasy and Garden area, and dinner up on the stunning Rooftop, which Basma and her team made flawless and easy for all our guests. The food was delicious - the appetizers were especially tasty and are still talked about by our guests. The views from the Rooftop were incredible.
