We visited this venue after receiving a written proposal around $6,400 from Arthur, which included a $2,000 bar buyout fee. We had clearly communicated in advance (by email) that we would have guests under 21.
During the visit, we were told the buyout fee was not needed since we would purchase our own alcohol and obtain a banquet permit, bringing the estimate down to around $5,900. We then noticed the 20% service fee was applied twice, which we asked to be corrected.
After a long internal discussion, the owner joined and the proposal suddenly increased to nearly $8,000, with no clear justification. When we questioned this, we were told by Tara the unprofessional business owner who probably didnt have an idea of numbers: “This is my business and this is what it is.If you want to work with me, you should pay it all”
There was no acknowledgment of the pricing error, no apology for the confusion, and no respect for the time we spent visiting. Being told by Arthur that prices can change because “nothing is signed” is not acceptable when errors were on their side and conditions were disclosed in advance.
The space itself is nice, but parking is extremely difficult, and unfortunately the unprofessional and dismissive attitude outweighed everything else. I do not recommend this place because of challenging process of working with their team.
Including the proposal screenshot for anyone interested in the place! Expect price raise of minimum $1000 in your in-person negotiations because Tara likes to earn more.
