Beautiful Venue — An Eventective User
We had a graduation party for my daughter and had so many people ask about the venue and their availability. Our guests who live in this area were as surprised as we were about this hidden gem! The staff was very helpful in getting us prepped for the event and things went off without a hitch. I appreciated their diligence and communication in the days and weeks leading to the event. Their guidance was invaluable! They have a beautiful place and we’d be happy to have an event there again!
