The new event space at the Darkhorse Distillery looks from the outside like a single story brick building in a small industrial area, but inside it was immaculate. A wonderful mix of metal, glass, wood and upscale textures and artwork - this space had one feature that we couldn't live without, upholstered chairs! These chairs were much more comfortable than the traditional folding or chivarri chairs, and our guests were happy to be comfy for our plated dinner.
Although there are the usual snags you would expect from a new space, they did a good job of working with us and our vendors to make our vision come to fruition. My only complaint, which actually came from my mother and aunt who were setting up while I was getting ready, was that they were giving tours while we were setting up for the wedding. This made a couple of the staff unavailable to them to answer questions and provide some of the needed items in a timely manner. Since we were not able to get into the space earlier in the day, it was much more difficult to not have access to the key staff we who had the answers. There was also a snag with the correct linens for the tables, which tells me the reservations weren't made in a timely manner, but again I think that is just the growing pains of a new space.
Otherwise, the event ran smoothly, they worked with us to get our slideshow up on the wall, arranged things the way we wanted and overall we were very happy to have our reception here. I would certainly recommend them to other brides.
