The IDEA Studio was an absolutely perfect venue! It is beautifully decorated, set-up for us exactly as requested, technologically capable for everything we needed, and beyond that, Alison and Morgan were like event angels! Every time something threatened to go wrong due to our outside caterers' failings, they were able to give us a solution immediately. They were onsite and ready to move any time we had any sort of request or question. I cannot possibly recommend this venue enough!! Do yourself a favor and reserve this space to ensure a successful event that you and your guests will remember!
