Beautiful Venue, Amazing Service
I had a fabulous experience working with Nika and her team for our wedding at the Historic Drish House. The Drish House is a beautiful venue with lots of options for neat photos. We had about 115 guests; our ceremony was inside and our reception was in the tent! The inside ballroom has beautiful chandeliers and wood floors, the upstairs was the perfect place to get ready and hang out pre-wedding, and the tent provided a fun spot to have dinner and dance on the black and white checkered dance floor. 10/10 recommend!
Wonderful Vintage Venue
Everyone at the Drish House was a joy to interact with. From assisting with questions before the big day all the way to the day of holding crying babies during the ceremony. We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding day️
