Management and the whole team were absolutely lovely and helpful! It made the process of planning the baby shower easy. The location and parking was very easy! My guests were very impressed by the fresh canapés and were all so delicious! The vibe was also lovely too and we all appreciated the open space of the venue and how warm and inviting it was. So many of my guests were impressed with the service and they had an amazing time. Would highly highly recommend this venue to anyone. I am so glad we chose frontside food and wine to host our special day. I would definitely rebook for future functions.
