Thank you OBH, Gladys, and Gordan for all of their support throughout our wedding planning process. They were very helpful, answered all of our questions, and where always a call away. Day of the wedding their team was very helpful in making sure that my husband & I where ok and everything was going smooth. If you are looking for a big and spacious venue that holds 400 people , and allows you to rent for up to 10hrs OBH is the place to go. You will not regret it I promise. THANKS AGAIN TO THE OBH TEAM
