This place was absolutely stunning. Better than the pictures and Aileen was such a joy to work with throughout the entire process all the way to the end. She was very accommodating and helped me figure out my menu and even make suggestions on my signature drinks. On the day of my party she was on hand and was on top of everything. She was very accommodating to our needs. All my guests were super impressed at this venue. Will definitely be using this spot for future events.
