Artisan Alley Garage — Local services in DeLand

Attended a wedding at this venue this past weekend and myself and many of the other guests felt a backyard wedding would have been more comfortable than having there.

Having to walk across a courtyard to one small little room (yoga studio) for AC where the only one bathroom is is not ideal for a large venue for...
