yeah FSIL was looking into this place for her wedding but I heard it was pretty pricey, you do have to rent, and also I'm not 100% but I think because it's so residential over there you can use the outside area after a certain time to avoid a noise complaint.

It looks frigin awesome though!

YES-I have a TON of info from them that i can send you...
