As a local photographer, I adore this space! There are so many photo opportunities just within the building itself which can be SO helpful in creating great portraits. The space doesn't feel like anything else in the area. Walking through the doors, you feel like you're in a building that has been around forever but being brand new, everything is so polished and perfect. The owners have been in the wedding industry for years and knew how to build the space for the perfect wedding day flow for guests. An overall awesome venue with great people running it.
