Well done and Highly Recommended

I had a very good experience working with 233 Main Street from start to finish. From the moment I inquired, to the time that our event ended, Lauren has been very responsive, enthusiastic and pleasant to work with. We had 49-51 guests and it was my first time organizing an event this big. I had food and cake catered, DJ and professional photography. We also to needed the space for practicing a dance routine the day before the event. Its a lot to coordinate and for someone who is going through this the first time, it was so much helpful to have a good team to work with you. Nicole and Lauren made the day of the event run smoothly. They knew what they need to do and they did it with enthusiasm. It makes the event even more memorable. The location also makes it so convenient for everyone to come. There are parking spots around too. They have good amenities. and items you can rent. Large single use restrooms, a bar and a back pantry with fridge. The space can be reconfigured in any way you like and can even extend to the outdoors. Thank you for your help, and I definitely recommend this venue and team to anyone.
