Do not book
The Life Arts Center provided a beautiful venue for our special day. However, we did have some issues with last minute communication that caused stress. Additionally, there were concerns with guests that impacted our experience. We wish the coordinator had been more responsive and addressed these issues promptly. While the space itself was lovely, several incidents left us feeling taken advantage of. Ruby had her friends come to the end of the reception and give them our beers. Elvia wanted to buy our unused alcohol but then didn’t pay the amount we agreed on. Very bad business practices, be warned, do not book this venue.
