“The Venue CU was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication style was incredibly responsive, timely and transparent throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was truly immaculate - the venue itself was gorgeous, with a stunning industrial aesthetic that exceeded our expectations. Amy, our event planner, was fantastic at managing every detail and making us feel so taken care of. Dan, the DJ (Bugbee’s) /bar manager/owner who was on site that day, was amazing at anticipating our needs and ensuring the entire event ran seamlessly. He was even present at rehearsal to perfectly time music and took each music request we had. The venue and staff were above and beyond in every aspect, contributing greatly to making our special day perfect.”
