Such a beautiful venue with a great indoor and outdoor space. Has a lift which was excellent for accessibility and good open space around the bar. The food was extremely tasty and the staff were helpful.
We found an issue with the sound system that we weren’t informed about. We used Spotify and were able to connect to the speaker system which was great, however, there was not much volume and we could barely hear the music over everyone talking.

Beautiful venue,catered to our special requests for a cultural 21st dance, easy to communicate with via email or phone. My son loved his 21st
The only thing that was a down fall is the bar was under stocked and keep running out of different drinks, alcoholic and orange juice. However we kept the 2 bartenders very busy and I think they done a great job considering under stocked
