| - In addition to the non-profit, artist-friendly, culture-regenerating, neighbo(u)rhood-building, eco-sustainable, and some-dogooder-gold-star winning public awesomeness that this place already touts, it also holds court in the sweet spot of the hearts of two of my favorite people. To wit: my mom keeps her studio here; my sister got married here.
I don't think I could do it justice as a studio-reviewer, but I will say that, for a wedding venue, this place is tops. The space has a large, industrial Grand-Central-Station kind of feel, with daylight pouring in in sheets. The acoustics are what you would expect, but problem solved with a few mikes. Ray and Miranda run a tight ship: the staff is efficient, friendly, and incredibly on top of things (chairs from the ceremony quickly put away, the food n' booze excellently served and maintained.) A pre-programmed ipod in Jim the Sound Guy's hands and you're swept away in effortless aural bliss. When the sun went down, the space was romantically lit with dim, warm white lights and candles. And if you're in the wedding party, you can adorn veils and cool your jets in the Community Gallery, just a few paces from the main barns.
The only down side is that you'll have to be out by 10pm, in accordance with the Good Neighbo(u)r law or somesuch...plan an afterparty.
All the single ladies: take my advice and book it now; this place is going to get discovered faster than you can say "hora".
