Mannnn don’t even waste your time. Not impressed by how the venue took care of my family. It seems the venue is solely for profit and not to ensure a memorable experience for those they host. Two stars for the grounds and staff. Everything in between is STRESS. Have a supportive team of your own and don’t count on the venue.

We hosted our Christmas party here and it was phenomenal! Melissa and her team take care of anything and everything you need! From decor to food to drinks to DJ. They do it all! One stop shop, I did not have to call a single vendor she handled everything! Price is unbeatable. Already secured our 2025 Christmas party date. 100000000/10 recommend
