Having our wedding at Mintahoe @ Solar Arts was a dream. CJ was incredible to work with. She was responsive, flexible, and helped us create our perfect day. The space was lovely, the food was delicious, and we had an absolute blast! Would do it again if we could afford it! ;)

The venue is absolutely lovely and worked very well for our style. We felt really comfortable with our initial coordinator but did not have as good of a working relationship when staff changed which is the reason for a four over five. Mintahoe was wonderful when we had some last minute logistical challenges outside our control and the food was great too. My only critique is our coordinator did not do as well with laid back people and was very intent on rushing through the timeline so much so that dinner was served and done before the bar was reopened from cocktail hour and I felt rushed down the aisle. In the grand scheme of things though I would recommend and do it there again.
Any questions?
