My fiancée and I love vintage stuff . Therefore, the vintage tram is perfect for my Pre-wedding theme photo shoot . The Bighouse Arts team is very helpful. Eileen did an excellent communication. The location is beautiful. We are very happy with the service that we received. If someone wanted to do photo shoot with a tram or wanted to throw a party on a tram , I highly recommend this place . Thank you .
