Wow what a perfect venue. We used the venue for our wedding reception and rented the whole venue. The 3 rooms was perfect to set up for catering, bar and photo booths. The artwork meant we needed minimal decoration as its beautiful as it is. The staff was friendly and made amazing cocktails. We'd certainly recommend and their recommended singer/DJ was fantastic.
