"I recently had my engagement party at Ballast and it was simply fantastic. Nick, the Sales & Event Manager, was incredibly helpful from start to finish. His support made the planning process a breeze. The venue itself was stunning, perfect location with an inviting atmosphere.

Overall, I highly recommend Ballast for any special occasion. With Nick's guidance and the venue's charm, our engagement party was an unforgettable experience."

Thank you Candice for hosting your event at and for sharing your experience with your family and friends! We really appreciate it!!
