The Perfect Venue

My (now) husband and I recently had our wedding reception here. In one word, incredible. We did the full restaurant buy-out, which isn't cheap, but it allowed us to use the space the entire day for wedding party prep and our cocktail hour and reception. It was worth it and I would highly recommend that option to any bride/groom still looking for a venue. We did not do our wedding ceremony itself here but definitely could have, if we had not decided on being married in a church.
Missy and Mindy, and their whole team of servers, bartenders and chefs, were outstanding. They were organized, professional, and genuinely happy to be sharing this experience with us. We received countless compliments from our guests on the quality of the food, service, and the overall electric atmosphere. They were knowledgable and flawless in their ability to accommodate for a myriad of food allergies. As the bride, I felt supported in my planning process the entire time. It was a pleasure to work with this team and our Big Day was truly perfect. My husband and I had no complaints with our experience and we are excited to return for more dinners/drinks/snacks as we start our lives together.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
