Amazing Rehearsal Dinner Space!

I recently hosted a wedding rehearsal dinner for about 30 people at Elizabeth's beautiful event space and words can't begin to express how lovely of an experience I had! Elizabeth was extremely responsive, hands on from start to finish, and an overall great host. Our guests were so impressed by the entire production and continue to rave about how much fun they had. If you are looking for a beautiful space to host your next event, look no further. Elizabeth and her staff will take great care of you! And an added bonus that the venue is simply stunning! Trust me, the pictures don't do it justice.

Beautiful and Bright!

I hosted my bridal shower at Ipadé in October 2022. I reached out to Elizabeth and she responded in a timely manner. She was also super friendly and kind and answered all the questions I had. My sisters took over the planning after I booked the space, but I heard nothing but great things from them about the space, accommodations, flexibility, and communication with Elizabeth. Now the space - GORGEOUS!!! If you love bold, bright colors, beautiful art, you’ll love this space. It fit perfectly with the feel I wanted to cultivate for my shower. I love that there were smaller rooms to create an event with smaller pockets of space to have food or desserts or activities. The throw back elevator was just a treat for me as I love antique, vintage design that make me feel like I’m living in another time period. It also reminds me of the history of a building. I really fell in love with the space the moment I found it online and have raved about it to others since. Thank you, Elizabeth!!
