It’s the first big decision of your wedding planning, and from there, the rest of your vision will follow.

Notes:
Clients can bring in own liquor, choose from over 9 exclusive caterers, state of the art AV and award winning architecture for wedding photos. Convenience of having everything you need in one venue – from a getting ready space, ceremony, cocktail reception, and then dinner reception all under one roof saves clients (and guests) logistical time and money in transportation costs. Party until 1:00am! Bonus that most venues don’t offer is that we have storage to drop off/pick up your items pre/post event so clients don’t have to worry about removing everything the night of their wedding. We have also won Best wedding venue 2 years in a row, 2018 and 2019 which is fab considering we’ve only been open since 2015.
