Our perfect venue!

We absolutely loved the Skylight! It was actually the 1st and only venue we looked at. We knew while touring that it would be perfect for us. We loved how antique and historic the building was but also elegant!
Barb is absolutely amazing! She isn’t the best at responding through text so keep that in mind. Besides that she is awesome! She is such a sweet heart and sooo giving and understanding! She was always willing to help change or fix anything we needed or didn’t like and did it without a complaint! We 1000% recommend The Skylight❤️
