“I would recommend for large corporate events, the space is huge and customizable. I'd note that the catering is especially good, it’s hard to make food for hundreds of people consistent and flavorful but your team always delivers.” – Event Planner

Khalid Wedding

“Thank you on behalf of my family and from the bottom of my heart for doing everything you did for us! You made sure that there was no stone left unturned as well as bend over backwards with requests that may not have been originally discussed. You agreed to come in whatever time before the event with no objection. You basically took away so much stress from us and took it on seamlessly. A big thanks…
