    This venue is perfect! It is not only gorgeous with plenty of exposed brick but it has multiple spaces so you can have your ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all in one spot so your guests don’t have to travel! It’s also a great deal, because you get it all weekend! That makes setup so easy and you don’t have to worry about getting every thing out the night of your wedding! You can also have your rehearsal there which is so convenient too. Caitlin and Curtis are so easy and wonderful to work with! I highly recommend this beautiful venue for any couple! I love providing florals for this space!
