was in constant communication with staff members anytime I had a question, no matter how crazy it was. I knew from the get go I wanted a sophisticated, comfortable venue where we could throw a great party and keep our guests happy and that definitely happened!
We paid a little extra to decorate the night before and it made our day so much easier! Sarah helped us with everything, including set up beforehand, adding an extra table when I forgot one, you name it. I never hesitated to ask Sarah and the rest of the staff and they knew how to handle everything. Everyone from the bartenders to the museum staff who assisted with guests going through the exhibits was amazing and very friendly. We could not be happier with our experience!
