Recommendations

Great Venue - An Eventective User

We had an event here recently and we were not disappointed. The unique, clean, and chic feeling in the car was something our guests really enjoyed. Everything was set up perfectly for what we needed. Brian and Prasada were excellent hosts and their choice of barware lovely. I will definitely use Local Motive again for a venue in the Madison area.
