From the moment we first reached out to No. 2 Vance, their team was prompt, friendly, and incredibly helpful in planning our special day. The venue itself is truly one-of-a-kind - an intimate, rustic space with stunning, scenic views of the Mississippi River that perfectly fit our vision. (which included an amazing sunset reception). Josh was there to lend a hand during set-up and even helped us convert the deck into additional reception space after the ceremony. We loved the venue and how it accommodated all of our needs. The rental apartment upstairs was also a huge bonus, allowing us to make a weekend out of our wedding celebration. We can't wait to return to No. 2 Vance for an anniversary party in the future. Many heartfelt thanks to Josh for all of his help and support. P.S. we are including as many photos as possible to show you all the possibilities.
