Fun and Unique
One of the benefits of this venue is that you get a lot of time to set up the day before– this in addition to the relatively low rental price made the venue very affordable. My partner, our families, and I were able to take our time the day before to get the reception space ready, and that made it less stressful than if we'd had only the day of.
Thank you so much to everyone at the Carousel Museum for making our wedding such a memorable day! We and our guests enjoyed every moment.
