    We were lucky to partner with Villanelle for their first official onsite event! CommunityHealth, a volunteer-based free health center just down the street, hosted our first in-person volunteer appreciation event since COVID(!) with Villanelle and couldn't have been happier with the experience - from initial planning to day-of to swift wrap-up. Though not a wedding, we benefited from all of the things Villanelle does wonderfully - prompt and warm communication, flexible pricing options to meet our budget, flexibility with the space, setup, music, timing of catering to make sure all fit with our plans, super tasty food and beverage options, etc etc etc. The space is beautiful and has enough personality to stand on its own and also allow for customization as desired, the photo booth (RIP Berlin) was a great add-on, and the whole team was lovely to work with. We're so glad to have Villanelle in the neighborhood creating inviting queer spaces for celebration. 3

    From the moment we reached out to Villanelle, their communication was quick, professional, and warm. The team went out of their way to accommodate our unique vision for our wedding, creating a truly personalized and intimate experience. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful, with a special and inclusive atmosphere that made all our guests feel welcome. The food was delicious, and the craft cocktails, wine, and champagne were the perfect complements to our celebration. We couldn't have asked for a more special day, and we're so grateful to the Villanelle team for helping make our wedding dreams a reality. Thank you to Chef Zoe and Whitney for creating this special place for us to celebrate!
