What a great place for a wedding reception!!! There is definitely more diy involved at this venue but the staff accommodates you because of it. The price is great. Be sure to pla...
n for details like water and bathrooms. Be very specific about the number of guests and the chairs and tables available. I dealt mostly with Kelly and Mike. They were lovely and very friendly. I also highly recommend hiring professionals to do lighting and drape. With the right decorations the odem hanger looks like a dreamscape with these gorgeous old planes. Not to mention you'll be supporting a local landmark!
