Awarded Best of Zola
The Longhouse was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the beginning, Anna and her team were detailed, supportive, and incredibly responsive to all of our questions and requests. They were flexible in working with us to customize the space and menu to fit our vision, and the end result was an immaculate, beautifully designed event space. Anna listened carefully to our wishes and provided practical suggestions to ensure we got exactly what we wanted. She was incredibly detail-oriented and on top of all the logistics, making sure everything ran smoothly on the day-of. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or wedding day, and Anna was responsive before, during, and after the wedding. Highly recommend the Longhouse!
