Gorgeous venue and helpful staff
— An Eventective User
We booked the Spinning Room for a celebration of life and had an absolutely wonderful experience from step one. Heather was responsive, helpful, patient, and friendly. The space itself is gorgeous and could work for a variety of event types; the room is spacious, the lights are charming, and the projector screens and a/v equipment allowed us to play a memorial video important to our event. We had access to tech help when we had something we couldn't figure out. Truly, the space was perfect for our needs and it was so reasonably priced with such helpful staff. Highly recommend.
