    Perfect Affordable Venue

    This location was perfect!!!! I honestly couldn't have been more pleased with how easy the owners made my planning. Loved that we were able to bring outside vendors for food. They are family owned and let me tell you they make you feel like family. That was one of my favorite things about this venue. Karis was amazing. She is one of the owners and was so welcoming. I loved that they had all the things I needed and had connections if they didn't. This made planning stress-free. I didn't have to call around to find chairs/tables/linen/heaters etc. My guests were all amazed with how unique and beautiful the venue was. Hopefully in the near future we can have our baby shower there.

    Great Communication from Client

    Our catering company has worked with The Sidenote at Love and Laughter Studios for several events, and we can always count on the team’s professionalism and positive attitude. Collaboration among vendors is essential, and when done well, it leads to networking and relationship building - this has been our experience with their staff. They understand what our needs are in order to deliver great catering service, and we’ve become familiar with their protocol and regulations. It’s a breath of fresh air to work with professionals that execute tasks in excellence.
