Recommendations

Excellent Experience - An Eventective User

Great location and space. Would definitely recommend and book for future events.

Amazing venue! - An Eventective User

This venue was very accommodating and flexible! We were able to have our event on a Wednesday night and in a themed room! They have a ballroom and several themed rooms that are a real wow factor- including a manually operated antique elevator. The venue is very cool. Big parking lot with free parking. Very reasonably priced as well! Able to bring our own food and decorations but you need a licensed bartender for liquor. Definitely recommend hosting a party or wedding here!
