A Dream Venue
I had my wedding ceremony and reception at Van Cliburn/McDavid Studio on 10/19/24 and it was perfect. We ended up with about 230 guests. The space is beautiful and the event coordination team (Remelee and Justin) were fantastic to work with throughout the whole planning process. They were responsive and helpful and everything came together perfectly on the big day. I highly recommend this venue!
