We pride ourselves on creating fully customized events — that's what we specialize in. That said, we do offer a few packages as a starting point.

Parking is street parking, though valet is included with our wedding packages, and it's available on request for other events. We work with a wonderful valet company we've partnered with for years, so it's one more detail you don't have to think about..
