Choosing this venue was the best decision I made during my wedding vendor search now that I look back. Hannah and Betsy were incredibly helpful, kind, and great with communication! Hannah went above and beyond to minimize the stress on me in various ways. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous on its own and includes so much when you book it. I hardly needed to decorate it honestly and I had compliments on the venue all night during the wedding. Make the investment and enjoy the beautiful pictures you'll get from it!!

We enjoyed our partnership with The Cadre Building in hosting our Second Annual Make-A-Wish Foundation’s Wine for Wishes event. The Cadre staff helped every step of the way during the planning and implementation process, making the evening a huge success.
