They have done an immaculate job renovating the venue and have transformed it into a beautiful, eclectic, and stylish place to hold an event. The staff is wonderful to work with and very profesional.

    My partner and I recently had the pleasure of celebrating our special day at this venue and we couldn't have been more thrilled with our choice! From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were captivated by the charm and character of this historic space. What a fun idea to renovate an old jail into this venue. Huge shoutout to the staff! They were great and went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more.
