"The space was perfect for our ideas to come to life for my grandmothers birthday. She probably would've cried if she was here. The host were great and accommodated us last minute to make our event go as smoothly as possible. They were so sweet we added servers last minute and extended our stay to ensure that everything was left how we found it. Not once did they rush us or make us feel unwelcome. Thank you so much for everything. We would definitely book again"

"Nytavia was wonderful. She made our son's christening event 100 times better than expected. I ordered different packages from her which included table and decor set up, a backdrop with my son name and more. I also got the backyard which was well worth it. My husband and I felt comfortable and so did our guests. When we arrived the place was well cleaned and set up beyond expectations. She even helped us set up the food and had all the kitchen utensils available. Overall we only setup our bar, cake table and DJ space. I will book her and her event space again. BTW the space is much bigger than pictures show. 50 plus people can fit comfortably"
