This venue was absolutely perfect! I really enjoyed the ease of this process via the hosts excellent organization! The hosts made a clear line of communication and were super friendly. I was able to execute my party without any stress because of that!

I was okay with the time! I wish I could’ve booked for 2.5 hours or 3.5 hours instead of whole numbers only! It was still okay for my party though!

The venue itself is nice and very aesthetically pleasing. The location is accessible and it's not too hard to get parking.

1.) The venue had no ventilation. It is so hot. 2.) It's either the lights are completely off or on. 3.) You have to take your own trash home. They charge $10 a bag for every bag they have to dispose. 4.) There is no sound system- if you are throwing a party, they only offer you a small speaker. 5.) They provide last minute instructions, directions regarding the venue or its amenities after the cancellation period. 6.) You have to rent tables and chairs on top of paying the rental fee of their venue. 7.) Even if you double bagged your garbage bag, if they leaked they will charge you an additional "deep cleaning fee" on top of the $50 cleaning fee you have initially paid. 8.) Overall not a good venue for throwing any parties or events given the small space and lack of amenities.
