The software they use to book a meeting; the images and 360 degree view of their space; the professionalism of their staff- all work together to execute the best possible event for their customers. I can't say enough about them and their ability to manage their beautiful spaces. They even let you book indoors if you choose the rooftop in the event of inclement weather.
