Amazing Venue!

I am blown away by The Schoolhouse Hotel and the great job they did with my wedding. They are the perfect size to rent out the entire hotel and make it easy for the guests to get between events. The entire staff, from the front desk to the bartenders, were so kind and helpful to the family and all the guests. Marsha, the venue event planner, went above and beyond not just on the day of but in the 12 months before while planning. Every request I made was fulfilled (like very specific specialty cocktails) and it's hard to believe the venue has been up for less than 2 years with the service they were able to provide. The aesthetic of the entire place is so tasteful but fun and the photos turned out amazing. The rooms have a few quirks with the ADA accessibility but they provided a sheet at check in to help navigate and my guests were able to figure it out. Can't wait to come back and visit on an anniversary!

The perfect wedding

We recently held our daughter's wedding at the Schoolhouse -- and it was outstanding. From an event perspective, the hotel staff was outstanding -- from the first contact with them last year, to the run-up to the event, to the actual execution. Marsha in particular was extremely helpful and competent. That extended to all the staff, who were friendly and proactive in ensuring the wedding was a success. The ability to rent all the rooms in the hotel made it a special event where we had the whole place to ourselves. Throw in good food and drink, a nice ballroom, and ending up at the hotel roof bar for the end of the celebration. Highly recommended.
