Amazing space! The hall was gorgeous, the entry was gorgeous, and the grand entry staircase from the bridal suite was perfect. Loved the private bathroom up there, complete with shower. Bathrooms were classy and new for guests, and they provided plenty of tables and chairs for everything, so we didn't have to rent. (Although I wanted white chairs, so I did rent those instead of using theirs). Joyce was super helpful and responsive over email, and they had everything put together just so! I loved working with them!

My favorite things:
- Location and backdrop!
- Traditional style of ballroom with sweeping windows and exposed brick entry
- Supplied so many wedding needs, tables, chairs, guest bathrooms, bridal suite, kitchen on-site.

The only cons I would say are:
- Elevator to go upstairs is a little offputting and hard for guests to locate
- Bridal space is a little run-down looking and not perfect for pictures.
- Mirrors along one wall do make setting up a bit difficult and shows DJ in a lot of the pictures, but a good photographer solves that problem! Highly recommend Portraits by Angelo for this space, he has the best lighting for the most vibrant photos!

This didn't take away at all and I cannot say enough good things about how perfect and picturesque this place is! It's well-located in downtown Durham, the quaint alleyway with the Episcopal church and spanish moss in the background makes a GREAT place for pictures, and the city hall clock in the background of the windows is my favorite wedding photo! So perfect!
