LOVED the venue, food and DJ. Was a bit pricy but I think well worth it! The day of the wedding the staff was very nice. Always asking if we needed anything to drink or eat. Loved having the photo booth.

In house dj is horrible!

The DJ at this venue is extremely condescending and rude. He was abrasive to my friend's photography and videography team for no reason. He even made off-handed comments to some of the guests and bridal party. Really unprofessional. Additionally, he was drinking during the wedding, not dressed professionally, and kept announcing things when the bride and groom were not even ready or in the room. When asked to please wait, he made comments about how long he had been doing this and he knows best. I think having a couple paying you in the room before you start events is probably the most important! Horrible and set the tone for the entire experience at this venue. DO NOT RECOMMEND!
