30th Birthday Party · 65 guests · October 2025
The space was perfect and the prep for it (custom cocktail sign, guest list, ability to control music, etc.) was all exactly why we chose this venue in the first place. It went off without any challenges, and we received lots of compliments from guests. We also really enjoyed working with the team, I felt like they really helped us capture the right vibe at different times (e.g. dimming the lights as people started to dance, bringing out a smoke machine, even dancing behind the bar along with us as we were wrapping up the event). We were really pleased with them!
They are upfront about this in the agreement, but you can't see how you're tracking towards spend until after the event, so you won't know on the day if you've hit your minimum. It wasn't a problem for our event, but if you are worried about the minimum relative to your time / number of guests, it might be a problem for you.
