This place is horrible. Management is terrible. She lies to parents and treats staff poorly. If I had a child I would not take them to this establishment. There have been more than 2 instances when a child was left unattended and her response was these things happen and she didn't even tell the parents.

Best wedding ever! That’s what I kept hearing throughout the night. And I am not just saying that, especially with it being my wedding. Mariana and her team are the A-team. She has a vision and she works with you. Every single detail was perfect. I gave her my vision and she worked with it. Also weddings are expensive, and she worked with our budget and worked with us. Especially when we got into a financial bind. She still worked with us. Very sweet, professional and overall top notch. You will not be disappointed and you will end your night happy, pleased, and will not stop talking about your event for the rest of your life.
Also choose the open bar in the package, the bar was lit!!

This place is fantastic! Beautiful courtyard, great martinis in an old home converted into a bar.
My only complaint is the parking but I don’t see where they could really make any changes so just arrive early or Uber.

The perfect wedding venue! Mariana was the best coordinator, we couldn't have asked for anything better. The wedding off without a hitch, all of our requests were satisfied and she attended to our every need. The food truck was amazing, and super delicious. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a wedding venue.

Love everything about this place!
Tacos 🔥, side car drink 🥴, and the poetry was thought provoking.

I'll visit as long as I live in Texas
Because I love the arts

Cool place to go for a drink or to see a show. They do Burlesque here and it was an excellent experience. Drinks were good, nothing too crazy.
The show started a bit late, but was worth the wait. Besides the charis being hard we really enjoyed ourselves. I'd recommend to anyone interested.
