“We had the best experience having our wedding at Nickys! Katie and the whole team were awesome to work with. The food was so loved by the guests, I loved how flexible the beverage packages were, and the venue just looked gorgeous with minimal decor and their awesome lights. We had 77 guests and it was the perfect size but I think even 30 more would have fit great.”
