The staff were really friendly, the venue was small and perfect for the size of the event and most of all, Tran Howlett, whom we interacted with as a point of contact, was so helpful in helping us plan and execute our event. On the day, all we really did as hosts was show up, enjoy the event and leave because everything else was taken care of.
