We work around the clock, and the majority of our time is spent physically working events and maintaining the property, as well as working with our booked event clients to collaboratively plan their event. After you tour the property, we do reserve time for a 1 hour follow up virtual meeting to answer questions before receiving a contract. We appreciate your understanding and reading through the shared links and FAQs before emailing/texting questions.
