We hosted our wedding reception here and LOVED it. The space is beautiful on its own and does not need a lot of decorations. It was nice and easy having the alcohol provided by West Sixth (just had to meet a bar minimum, which we did easily with 80 some guests). I also liked that we were able to bring our own food in, which was provided by a local restaurant. Staff is friendly and communication was easy aside from an email glitch. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t change anything!

We loved working with Shall We Dance, and even got a free dance lesson for our first dance. Communication was always timely and flexible. So many guests complimented the beauty of the venue. It intimately houses about 60-80 guests comfortably. Medium-sized weddings are perfect for this space!
