“A Dream to Work With”
Earlier this month we rented the hall for a birthday party. From first communications all the way to day of and afterwards it was a dream to work with Wendy. She was helpful answering all of my questions and was very easy to work with (i.e.: pick up/drop off keys etc.). The hall was very clean and had everything we required for an awesome event. The kitchen was an awesome space and made set up/take down a breeze. Will definitely be using this space for other events in the future.

“Friendly, Affordable, and Versatile”
Great place for any and all events. This space spiffs up nicely, and also holds some wicked floor sport games. Their optionally provided sound system sounds great!
Friendly, affordable, and versatile.
It’s coordinated by an amazing group of locals, and holds lovely fairs regularly!

“Easy to Book, Always Tidy”
I’ve been to many events and meetings here, the place is always tidy before we arrive, it’s easy to book, and reasonably priced too! Great location, you can make noise *inside* and won’t bother anyone, since it’s mostly other commercial lots around it
