| - I could not be more impressed with this venue and the staff. We recently held my boyfriend's 40th birthday party which included an open cocktail hour and a Friar's Club-type roast in the adjoining theatre.
We first walked the space in February with Evelyn. She was extremely professional and assured us if we could dream it, they could do it. I have worked with quite a few event managers and have heard this many times so I erred on the side of dubious at first. During the entire planning process, she was never once out of touch and responded to any and all communication quickly. She was just there. Any questions, concerns she had the answer and if she didn't, she got it quickly. Leading up to the event, we had a few more walk throughs and she was there for us for each one and never seemed bothered or inconvenienced by us needing entry. She seemed as excited for this event as we were. She was fun, funny and the picture of professional. I just cannot say enough about how amazing she is!
Smash cut to the day of the event and not one thing was missed. Nick on sound and lights was ready to go and didn't miss one cue. Even when, we added a video to the end he didn't bat an eye and everything ran perfectly. Connie, Will and the other female bartender (I'm so sorry, I didn't get your name!) were fantastic behind the bar. Even the security team we had at the door was friendly to our guests and didn't come off rude like so many do. During the event Evelyn was right there for us. Whenever we had a concern, she was on it. Any questions were answered quickly and even during the roast she was in the bar waiting for us with any questions or concerns we had. I could not believe how present she was the entire time.
After the event, we went upstairs to the roof and the staff there was just as awesome. There was a change in plans since we ran over and the last portion of our open bar was upstairs. Not a blip in communication and it ran just as smoothly up there, too! We had our reserved area ready for us and promptly danced the rest of the evening away!
There is no possible way to thank the team at Inspire for making this event a success. The venue was perfect for the show and the team takes great pride in how they represent Inspire. If you have a small production or party to plan, this is the place!
