It offers a large open space, a stage area, nice restrooms, a bar area, air conditioning, and plenty of tables and chairs. The decor is lovely and rustic, but the staff also allowed us to decorate according to our theme. They were prompt to communicate with us and booking was a breeze. They give you the freedom to bring in your own caterer, which is not always welcomed at other venues. There was plenty of parking and outside space for entertaining guests.
