I can’t overstate how wonderful they were to work with. Jordan was so kind and knowledgeable and helpful in the planning process. Day-of, everybody was so nice and really knew what they were doing! And everything ran smoothly because of it! On top of that, the space was absolutely magical. We knew as soon as we walked in that this was our venue. Ceremony then dinner on the stage, first dance in the art deco entryway, bouquet toss off the balcony, concert film screening and dessert. It felt so special and both of our families are still raving about it.
