The space was perfect for my event and the food was amazing! Everyone was so friendly and they were very communicative leading up to my event.
The space was absolutely gorgeous and decorated so uniquely. This was a perfect space for my pop up event and everyone enjoyed the space. The owner was attentive and quick with responding. I would love to host another event here soon !
Incredible — Vilma was absolutely fabulous. She was very professional, helped out a ton, and was the sweetest person ever. The venue is beautiful… could not have asked for a better place to host or to have had a better hostess for our event!
Hats off to Cafe Skye!!! Wow, what a beautiful celebration I hosted thanks to Cafe Skye. I had my going away party here in December 2024. I wanted an intimate, tasteful, cozy celebration with my loved ones and Cafe Skye provided exactly what I envisioned. Like it was out of a movie. Cameron was a fantastic communicator and coordinator for the event- professional, patient, informative, friendly, accommodating. Garrett, who managed the event on the day of was friendly, professional, accommodating, efficient, and created an inviting atmosphere. The staff in the back were efficient and kept things runnings smoothly with whatever came up- especially the female chef who I know gave 110% when we had a spill in the back. Everyone involved felt like they were pros and knew what they were doing each step of the way- like it wasn’t a heavy lift. The atmosphere the charming, cozy, tasteful, and intimate. The food and drinks were delicious. Menus printed with the specialty cocktail I created with Cameron! Such a sweet touch to make me feel special. And, it’s important to mention that I really appreciated that no deposit was due. The minimum we needed to meet felt reasonable to me and the cancellation fee felt reasonable and fair to me. All guests loved the space and were impressed. I’ve recommended Cafe Skye to anyone who has asked about my send-off celebration. Thank you, Cafe Skye team!!
