Recommendations

Great place to have an event! — An Eventective User
We had a Masquerade Karaoke Ball as a fundraiser for our organization, and the venue was great! The staff is courteous and super helpful, and the space was exactly what we needed to pull off our event. They even do a discount for 501c3 non-profits. definitely recommend this place.
