    We loved having our wedding at District 5 Schoolhouse! Their communication throughout the planning process was perfect - always quick to respond and super efficient in answering our questions. The venue itself is beautiful and so well maintained, 100% worth the money we paid. The staff was also incredibly friendly and accommodating in coordinating our entire wedding day timeline and making sure things flowed smoothly. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or team to work with for our special day!
