We had our wedding at No 2 Vance and it was an incredible experience. Josh was very helpful and made sure everything was perfect. The venue is beautiful. I loved that our caterer could set up food in a separate area, and we had a bar area along with a dance floor, in addition to tables and chairs set up. We also hung out on the deck during the reception. We had a fabulous wedding and reception, and are so grateful for the venue playing a huge role in our special day!
