Amazing space and Great Owner and Staff

I want to thank the staff and owner of Venue808. My husband and I recently had our wedding at this venue and first the place is amazing, it truly is a hidden gem. The location is perfect for a downtown wedding, or event. The owner was extremely helpful, above and beyond. The staff was professional and I could not have asked for more. I and my husband would highly recommend Venue808 for anyone hosting an event or party or wedding.
