A few of our select vendors can even be coordinated for you to further simplify planning!

Is there parking at your venue?

Yes! There are over 200 public parking spots available within a 3 minute walk to our front doors offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

We just ask that your party appoint an adult to monitor any attendees under 21 to ensure only those of drinking age are consuming.

How will our event be more eco-friendly?

In alignment with our core values, we do our part to ensure items offered in our packages are sustainably sourced, such as our various furniture pieces created from upcycled wood.

Materials harmful to our environment are also minimized, and for this reason we ask you kindly to leave any glitter, helium, or styrofoam at home.
