Chalk this up to a place that didn't get very far.
The pictures are lovely. The whole space looks amazing. If we were planning a weekend long event, rather than an evening/night affair, we might have looked further.
Things that made me draw a line through this:
1. Weekend long event usually means thousands of dollars just in rental and before we get to catering.
2. We would have to rent a toilet trailer. I cannot tell you enough how that immediately crosses places off my list. If I wanted a porta potty, we'd have it at a friend's place and skip this venue search altogether. (for some folks a toilet trailer is not a deal breaker - I'm not judging. I just am not willing to do that for our wedding, or worse pay for the ability of our guests to relieve themselves especially after paying for the rental of a venue)
3. When I request information, I'm looking for hard numbers. The email response was genuinely kind but too fluid. Nothing concrete. That is basically a strike, especially after not having anything on their website about fees.
4. The website made me crazy. The pointer is a hard to see bumblebee and the pictures took forever to load.
If anyone has held an event there, let me know. I'd love to include a review on them.
