This is a great spot for small events and wedding celebrations! We hosted our wedding reception here with 108 guests, and everything worked out really well. We were actually the ve...
nue’s first wedding event since becoming Rooted Lounge.
The space was perfect for our group, the food was delicious, and the drinks were fantastic. The bartenders were excellent and kept everything running smoothly throughout the night.
The owners were responsive, professional, and an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the entire process.
One tip: if you’re hosting a larger group with more than ~35 cars, I’d recommend arranging additional nearby parking and a shuttle for guests. We did this for our wedding, and it made things run smoothly.
Highly recommend!
