We had our wedding here and it was the best day ever! The coordinator, Victoria, was a dream to work with! She was responsive, helpful, and helped make our day go so smoothly! The place itself required little decor as the bricks and natural elements were so cute! The space layout was great for people to enjoy food, dancing, and convenient to move between the ceremony and reception! And the rooftop photos were such as unique experience and a way to have a private moment as a couple! 10/10
