“Working with Bailey and The Top Secret Events team to have our wedding at The Wooly was amazing and so easy! If we were to do it all over again we would without a doubt choose this team and this venue for our wedding! Bailey was responsive and flexible throughout the process which is such a luxury when wedding planning. The Wooly is such a unique venue and Bailey was more than willing to help us make it our own for the special day. The set up that they have is perfect for small, medium or larger events. The catering and bar staff were INCREDIBLE - so kind and helpful! From the venue, to the catering, and even the lighting, the team ensures that your priorities are their priorities. I HIGHLY recommend having your wedding at The Wooly and working with The Top Secret Events for all things wedding related!!”
