Thank You, Sarah and Team!
Sarah Verheyden is professional, kind, and always willing to go above and beyond to ensure our event is ready. She responds quickly and if there's a problem or a hurdle, she always provides another solution rather than saying "no." Thanks to Sarah we have a clear vision of what's expected of us in the planning process and we had no surprises the day of the event. Whatever we needed, Sarah was there to support us and take care of it. The catering staff is so helpful during set up and during the event. I know I can ask any of them for help and they will take care of it or find the right person to help. Thank you so much, Sarah!

Parking garage is below ground, full size trucks suggest street parking. As far as rooms go, we did not stay at the hotel that is adjoining, we used the Willamette room upstairs. Absolutely wonderful!
